Hey guys! So I haven't updated in a while but I'm sorry I've been so busy with homework and testing but the testing is finally over! So I hope you enjoy this chappie!
I laid in bed, all snuggled up under the sheets replaying everything that had happened the previous night.
Deuce had walked me to my door and handed me the McDonald's bag. Apparently he had ordered an extra meal for Flynn. So that was amazingly sweet of him, but I got to see a different side of him last night. It was a side that seemed human, it was a side that made me realize that I had him all wrong. Behind that perfect plastic exterior he had issues just like any other perfectly normal person. I wasn't saying that before I didn't think he wasn't a person I just assumed that since his exterior was so polished so, that his life would be too. I was wrong though and I know that now.
As the sun peeked through my blinds and sent small stripes of light onto my face I stretched. It was Friday and because of the upcoming teacher training we hade today as well as Monday off. For once in my life I could relax right? Wrong. I was working a double shift today so I had to be at the diner in an hour. My mom was working today as well and I had to take Flynn with me to the diner since his school is off to. It not an unusual thing for him to come to work with me though, infact he often did and all of my co-workers welcomed him with open arms. They loved him to peices (mostly because he helped bust the tables) and it was kind of comforting knowing that he was there, safe with me.
I took an uber quick shower and threw some clothes on before going into the kitchen.
"Morning," I greeted seeing Flynn. Sleep was evident in his eyes as he gave me a small a nod and finished off his cereal. I guess my mom had gotten a raise or something cause she came home with a boat load of groceries last night so this week we would all be eating 3 meals a day.
I grabbed a red apple out f the fridge and bit into it. Sweet and juicy, just how I like it.
"You ready to go squirt?" I asked grabbing my bag. He nodded lazily and stood up.
I stifled a laugh, "You gonna put pants on today?"
He blushed and rushed to his room muttering a small "thank you" on the way. He came back out 3 minutes later and we made our way out to my car.
"I don't get how this peice of junk is still running," he commented climbing into the passenger seat.
"Deuce has spoiled you to much with his many fancy cars," I accused, "You love Lucy," referring to my car.
"Wasn't that an old people show?" he asked thoughtfully.
I laughed and started my car, "That was I love Lucy."
He smirked mischievously, "Don't you mean to say Deuce?"
"Why would I say Deuce? The name of the show was- oh," I frowned, "When did I say that?"
"Well your not denying it, so I'm taking that as a yes and you never did say it," he replied as we pulled up to the diner.
I rolled my eyes and watched as he climbed out of the car.
"Did Deuce put you up to that?" I asked grabbing my bag and climbing out of the car as well.
He laughed, "Why should I tell you?"
I pulled open the big glass doors and was instantly hit with the smell of bacon and eggs.
"Oh breakfast time," I murmured leading Flynn to the kitchen.
"Alright you brought the little dude!" Doug, the fry-cook exclaimed. The two boys shared a high-five.
"You have breakfast yet little dude?" he asked as Flynn hopped up onto the counter.
"Nope," he replied. I nudged him.
"Yes, but not much," he said honestly.
Doug smiled and handed him a plate of bacon and eggs, "On the house."
"Thanks Doug," I said kissing his cheek and going into the break room to put on my uniform.
"Cece!" Ronda called out coming into the room.
"Hey Ronda," I greeted tying a bow on my apron.
"Id love to stay and chat but your working the tables 5-7 We are so busy today," and with that she thrusted the note pad into my arms and walked off. I laced up my roller skates and skated out to the dinning room. My eyes scanned over the room and came to a screeching holt when I saw...them.
They were the plastics (including Deuce), all of them sitting sitting at the table laughing. Porshia flipped her blind hair back and her eyes met mine.
"Oh diner girl we're ready to order!" the blond haired devil called out snapping her fingers. I rolled my eyes and skated over as she just kept snapping.
"Ok first of don't snap," I growled, "Second of all I'm not a dog you don't need to snap."
She pursed her lips and scowled, "Do I need to talk to the manager?"
"No," I replied slapping a smile on my face. I softened my tone before I spoke agian.
"What can I get you today?" I said sweetly. Deuce looked down at his menu and waited for Porshia to order.
"I'll take a veggie burger hold the ketchup," she said.
I smirked as an insult was on the tip of my tongue, "Oh actually eating today are we? Carefull Porshia veggie burgers have calories."
The plastics all burst out into laughter at my comment as Porshia scowled.
"Just order your damn food!" she screeched to the group. Right on que Cas and Rocky shut up.
"You know what I'm going to the bathroom," Porshia stood up and flipped her hair, "Later loser."
As soon as she was out of earshot I turned to the girls.
"Why do you let her talk to you like that? I mean it's not like she owns you...you two need to learn to stick up for yourselfs," I said softly. Rocky's expression softened while Cas's went rock hard.
"Shut up comic nerd!" Cas barked.
I rolled my eyes, "You used to be one to, then you left us and completely disregarded us like we weren't alive! For what reason? Oh ya to be Ty who cheat on you constantly!"
I saw tears form in her crystal blue eyes as they looked downward.
"I'll take a burger," Gunther spoke up trying to lighten the mood. I took a deep breath as I jotted that down.
"Ty I assume you'll do the same?" I questioned. He nodded slowly and kept his eyes on the table.
"What about you?" I asked Deuce. He smiled and shrugged.
"I guess I'll do my usual," he replied. I jotted that down as well and leaned down to meet him halfway for a peck on the lips. He happily responded to that gesture which caused Ty and Cas to look up.
"Deuce your here!" a voice said excitedly. I pulled back from Deuce's lips and turned around.
"Flynn, you know better than to come out here during business hours!" I scolded pinching his ear. Flynn winced and batted my hand away.
"Doug gets boring!" he protested. I rolled my eyes and pointed towards the back.
"Go!" I demanded. Flynn groaned and started to walk away.
"Wait!" Deuce spoke up, "He can chill with us...I mean he could like hang with me until you come over to work on our project later."
I smiled widely and nodded. I was happy that he wasn't embaressed about me, I mean he kissed me infront of the plastics how much more open about a relationship can you get besides declaring your love for that person. As I skated back to the fry-cook station to tell Flynn one thing was on my mind; love. Was I in love with Deuce or in like? I mean to say that I cared for him would be an understatement but to say that I was totally and completely in love with him would be an exaggeration. So the question of me being in love with him wasn't for sure answered yet but would it ever be? Would I ever get to the point where I'm actually in love with someone? I mean if he were to come up to me today and say, "Cece I'm in love with you," what would I do?
Would I run away or would I just stand there with a stupid expression on my face. I sure as hell wouldn't say that I loved him back because I wasn't really there yet, and the time comes (IF the time comes) where he says I love you I want to be able to say back and mean it. I don't want to say I love him just to say it I want to mean it also. A month ago I would have never even been considering being in love with king plastic. If someone were to accuse me of even so much as liking him I would have laughed in their face and called them "nuts." somehow in the period of time that had been a week ive been able to go from, "I hate you with every bone in body," to "I might be in love with you?"
Ack! What am I saying here! I didn't know if I was in love with king plastic cause what could I compare love to? Comparing it to a family member wouldn't work cause that a different kind of love. So how would I even know what being in love feels like if I've never been in love. I could cunduct experiments on this based on sappy romance noes and cheesy romantic comedy's but that wouldn't be real. Those things are fictional, those things are made from scripts and come from the mind of a middle aged man/woman trying to make a living. So how was I to know if I was truely in love or not? For right now I'm just going to no. I Cece Jones was in like, with King Plastic. Not in love but in like...ya that seems reasonable.
"Cece!" Doug said snapping his fingers infront of my face.
I smiled sheepishly as a blush krept onto my cheeks. "Ya?"
"Table 6's order is ready," he said thrusting the tray into my hands. I struggled to keep balance for a moment and finally managed to get everything in place.
"Oh tell Flynn that he's hanging with Deuce today will ya?" I asked Doug politley. He gave me a small nod and pointed to the plastics.
"Table six, go."
I rolled my eyes and skated on over.
"Ok we got 2 burgers, one chili cheese fries, and 3 veggie burgers," I listed setting the food down in front of each plastic.
"So about our project have you started the essay?" I asked placing my hands on my hips. He nodded and munched on a French fry.
"Yep and I'm not even going to ask you if you started on the power point cause I know you did," he replied making little eye contact with me. I decided to let him eat in peace so I skated back to the kitchen.
"Ou ya Flynn your hanging with Deuce for the rest of the day," I informed the small boy sitting on the counter. A large smile grew on my little brothers face as he hopped up and rushed over to the plastics.
"So Cece," Doug smirked, "What's up with you and that
customer?"
I blushed a deep red and shrugged. What was going on? I mean where we together as in boyfriend and girlfriend or just dating? What did he refer to me as around others? Perhaps his girlfriend, or maybe just Cece. Either way it left me with the same question; what were we?
I know this is really short but it what I could do and I promise i will update more frequently!
XOXOXO
