A/N: I own nothing. Harry Potter and all of his amazing world belongs to JK Rowling. I am just thankful that she lets us play with her characters and dream about them. I also own nothing of Twilight (there will be some cameo appearances), the Cullens belong to Stephanie Meyer, and I again am unworthy to think that I could ever be the owner of something so made of awesome.
As I stood in my apartment, leaning against the door, a feeling of dread was coursing through me. What is wrong with me? I never act that way, and even though I knew it was all just a prank, I never should have reacted like that to a customer.
I took a deep breath, and turned to go back down the stairs to the shop. I needed to fix this. Jacki would be livid with me, and she had every right. It was her store, not mine, and I couldn't kick someone out just because they pissed me off. The slight vibration of my cell from my back pocket broke my reflection. A text message displayed on the screen:
Hes gone. Funny stuff. Get UR butt changed n dwn here now! Clsing the store erly & going to karaoke. No xcuses, EBA 4 eva! Hgs:J
A smile crept across my face. Jacki was absolutely the best boss ever, the best friend ever; and I can't imagine why I thought she would be mad.
I flew across the apartment to the bathroom to freshen up. I threw on my favorite tee-shirt, black with "BITE ME" written in red, with my jeans and grabbed a chain belt. The desire to cause trouble was not something to be ignored, and Jacki and I loose in NYC could always make that happen.
I heard her laughing with Alice and Emmett, two of our friends that worked in the store when we were busy, as I made my way down the stairs. "Care to fill me in on the joke?"
Emmett pulled me into his arms giving me his signature ice cold bear hug that could not be denied. Em always did give the best hugs.
"Sorry to disappoint you Kimmie" he replied, "but you have to wait till with get to The Spot. Everyone needs to hear this one"
I ran over to Jacki, gave her a hug and started to apologize. Like always, she knew what was coming and wouldn't hear of it.
"Kimmie, we love you… no one makes you uncomfortable and gets away with it… okay? Besides, I really think you got your revenge on this one, and you weren't even here to see it!"
Now I was truly puzzled, but I knew once we hit our favorite bookshop & bar, the missing piece of the story wouldn't be far behind. I helped finsh closing up the store, and changed the cd's back to Jacki's favorites. I didn't work for the next couple of days so I knew I should give her back her music.
A short chapter, I know, but trust me. Its gonna get fun shortly. I promise...and so worth it.
