Oh Boy, Double Trouble!
Thank you everyone who has read and left a review as well as following or has added my story to their favorites. :)
I do not own transformers of any sort or form, but I do own my creations Arisa and Angelica.
Thank you for your reviews! As for what kind of transformer I would be, I would be a beautiful white seeker with red accents and have a jet form, the fastest there is. There's something about flying that intrigues me.
CHALLENGE: Can I get thirty five reviews please? But there's a twist! The 35th reviewer gets to decide who comes in whether it be a decepticon or autobot. But again, I love reviews! I'll let you know who the 35th reviewer is when it happens!
Chapter 6
A quiet afternoon at work slowly goes by, every second ticking by as if to annoy everyone. It had been a boring day with slow business. Usually there was a lot more business, but lately there hasn't been. Some of it might have to do with the new online site that Angelina came up with while her main three co-workers were on vacation.
The site has been a hit all over the country as well as other countries. Angelina has had a hectic time trying to get the orders sent. Arisa on the other hand is having a blast with all the work but she is beginning to feel like she's falling behind.
Let's rephrase this entire thing. It has been a very slow day for the twins. Arisa and Angelina have been kept very busy.
"At this rate, I'm going have to buy a warehouse to do this work and hire another accountant. No offense Arisa, but that is more work than even you can handle."
The red head looks up with a smile, "It's understandable. I think also investing in another location would be good too. It would be interesting to see how business would work in a different city. You could hire someone to run it with a manager and employees."
The blonde woman looks at the younger one with a grin, "That sounds like a great idea but for now, let's stick with the idea of extra help around here and maybe a warehouse to do all the packing. Or maybe I should just expand the store or move to a bigger lot."
"I like the bigger lot idea. There's no room to expand here but with a bigger lot, you can expand. There could be the store space as well as a mini warehouse space for all those orders online."
"Did I ever mention how grateful I am to have you here?"
Arisa cracks a grin, "Every day."
In the front of the store, the door opens with a ding from the bell. A woman with brown hair past her shoulders walks in wearing a pair of white shorts with a dark blue t-shirt. She sees two men, identical twins, working. One is at the front desk behind the cashier with a cocky grin on his face. The other is unpacking items onto the shelf.
She walks toward the women's section and begins looking at the clothes. She finds a few she likes but frowns at the price. To her, the price is outrageous even though she would pay for something very similar to this at the same price from Aeropostale.
The more serious man that has been unpacking watches her closely. She looks familiar, like he's seen her in a picture or something but he can't figure it out.
The woman walks up to the front desk with nothing in her hands.
"I'm looking for Arisa Grey. I heard she works here."
The blonde man looks up at her and asks, "Are you a friend of hers?"
"An old one; we lost touch."
"Hold on. Let me see if she's busy."
"Simon, stop dragging me!"
The blonde grins, "But she said you two were old friends who lost touch with each other! Come on!"
Arisa enters the front of the store and freezes in her tracks when she spots who is waiting for her. Simon notices all the color gone from her face making her look sickly pale.
Turning around, the brunette finds her old red head friend standing in front of a door that leads to the offices and storage. She looks pretty good, healthy if she must say. Her hair is natural blonde on the top and ginger underneath from the sun. She doesn't look anorexic skinny anymore, but still skinny, just not the dangerous type.
"Arisa."
"What are you doing here Kaitlyn?"
The brunette called Kaitlyn scuffs, "I'm here to see you, and why else would I take a plane thousands of miles to visit this store."
Arisa's body begins to tremble. All she wanted was to get away from this woman, an old friend. She just wanted away from her and never see her again. And now, all that hard work is gone. She's standing in front of her and Arisa feels like hitting a brick wall out of frustration.
"What do you want?"
"Can we talk?"
Arisa looks at her, "I'm working right now and I don't get off for another hour to two hours depending on whether I do overtime or not."
Just then, Angelica comes walking in wearing black dress pants with a loose white blouse and black tooth pick heels. "Arisa, who's this?"
"Kaitlyn Sinclair. An old friend if I must say."
Angelica looks at the brunette woman knowing exactly who she is. After all, she is the reason why Arisa moved out here. Not sure what is going on, she smiles, "It's nice to meet you Kaitlyn. I'm Angelica, owner of this store."
"It's nice to meet you too."
The red head states, "I'm going back to work." She turns and walks away.
Both men and women watch the other woman basically stomp away fuming and still pale.
Angelica sighs, "She's upset that you just suddenly popped into her life without warning so don't take it personally. Why don't we go have coffee and talk?"
She looks at the younger woman. "I don't drink coffee."
"Then I'll buy you whatever you want to drink and a snack if you want."
Deciding this woman known as Angelica and presuming is Arisa's boss, Kaitlyn decides to go with her. Angelica might be able to fill her in on a bit when it comes to Arisa. She really doesn't understand everything when it comes to the redhead and why she left. Kaitlyn understand that she may have been a bit bossy and controlling but she thinks there's more to it.
Well that's that! I have finally re-introduced a character from the first chapter. Kaitlyn is a character from other stories I have on my computer.
I must say, Sideswipe is quite excited to meet one of Arisa's friends. Kind of sad how I made it happen with those two not being on good terms.
Thank you for reading. I now give you the daily chapter question:
Would you prefer coffee? Tea? Juice? Water? Latte? Or other? And why?
Again, I'll give you my answer at the beginning of the next chapter.
Toodles!
