Hey guys. Thanks for all of the reviews. So, how is everyone liking season 4 of Lab Rats so far? I love it. After the first three episodes of season 4, I conclude that it is WAY better than season 3. Ok so here's the updated list of whose ideas are being used next:
HawiianChick12
ShyMusic
LrLover444
Shymusic
So, this one-shot is based off of HawiianChick12's idea. Do you guys remember Johnny from chapter 10 of this story? Well, he's back! This is going to be sort of a sequel to Chapter 10: Job Time. I really enjoyed writing this one-shot. Hope you like it :)
Cara's pov:
"Cara" I hear Harry the store owner call from outside the storage room, "When you're finished putting your apron on, can you come out here for a minute?"
"Yeah sure!" I yell back from the storage room. After I tie my apron around my waist, I walk back into the ice cream shop , behind the counter. I walk up to Harry. "Yes Harry?"
"You know how business has been getting great lately and you and Adam are always complaining to me about how you want other workers to help you out in the store?"
"Well technically we never said that to your face, but yeah. We do really need help around here lately. People are really loving your ice cream. Sometimes it gets hectic in here when you're gone. I had to clean up three spills yesterday all at the same time!"
"Well" Harry continued, "I'm glad you guys need some help, because guess what? I hired someone else to help you two out."
"Wow that's great" I reply, "Who'd you hire? And please tell me it's not that old man that comes in here every day begging you to give him a job." Harry chuckles.
"No no. It's a boy. He's about your age. He came in here about a week ago asking if he could have a job here."
"Oh that's just great. So, where's the new worker?" I look around the shop.
"Oh. He's in the bathroom, but don't worry. He'll be out in a minute. Where's Adam?"
"He texted me saying that he was running a bit late."
"He overslept didn't he?" I slowly nod. "Well when Adam gets here, you can introduce him to the new worker."
"Ok." I turn as I hear the bathroom door open. Out from the bathroom walks a teenage boy who looks really familiar. As he walks closer and closer to me, my eyes widen. It's that kid that was flirting with me on my first day of work. What was his name again? Oh yeah, how could I forget, Johnny! This is just great.
"Cara" Harry says, walking over to Johnny. "This is-"
"Johnny" I interrupt, faking a smile, "I know. We've met before." I try not to cringe as I shake Johnny's hand.
"Nice to see you again Cara" Johnny replies, still shaking my hand "Where's your boyfriend? What was his name again? Alex? Aaron?"
"Adam. His name's Adam."
"Oh yeah Adam. Where is he? He does still work here doesn't he?"
"Yes" I say, finally jerking my hand away from his, "He's just running late. He'll be here in no time."
"Ok Cara" Harry starts as we all walk behind the counter, "I've already trained Johnny last week, so he pretty much knows how to do everything."
"Good" I say, cheering silently about not having to teach him how to do anything.
"The store opens in fifteen minutes guys" Harry says, grabbing his jacket off of the hook, "So I'll let you guys get to work. I'm going out of town for a week, so I hope you can all handle business well. Cara, you're in charge, as usual."
"Got it" I reply, "And don't worry. Everything here will be fine while you're gone. We've got everything under control."
"Good." He walks to the front door, "And here I was two months ago worrying about hiring teens to work at my store." He chuckles as he exits. My smile disappears as I feel Johnny standing behind me. I turn around to face him.
"Hey Cara" he says in a creepy, sweet voice, "Your hair looks nice today, as usual." As usual? He's only seen me twice. Today and the last time he was in the store.
"Johnny" I say, ignoring his complement, "How do you know if my hair looks nice usually if you've only seen me twice." He laughs.
"Oh, well that's the thing. I've seen you more than two times." I almost choke on my spit. "You know how you and your boyfriend Andrew always go to the park every weekend? Well, I'm always there too and I always see you."
"Ok first of all" I start, "Its Adam. Not Andrew. Adam. And second of all, don't you have anything better to do than stalk people in your spare time?"
"Hey I don't stalk people." Well spotting me out every time I go to the park sounds like stalking to me. I roll my eyes as I turn around to face the counter. I spray the counter down with some cleaner and start to wipe down the counter. I suddenly feel his hands on my shoulder.
"You need some help cupcake?" I take a deep breath as I pull his hands off of my shoulders.
"Ok look Johnny" I say, trying to sound as nice as I can, "I'd really appreciate if you'd stop flirting with me. I'm dating Adam, not you so you can save your flirting for another girl. Got it?" He innocently puts his arms up.
"Oh I'm not trying to flirt" he lies, "Sorry if you feel like I am though. I know that you're dating someone else." I start to walk towards the closet to put the cleaner away when Johnny firmly grabs my arm with his sweaty, grimy hand. "But if you guys ever end up breaking up, you know who to call…" He winks. I hear the bell ring on the front door and Johnny quickly lets go of my arm. Walking in the ice cream shop is Adam. Good. Adam's here. Maybe Johnny's flirting will go down a notch with him here.
"Hey Cara" Adam says smiling.
"Uh hi Adam" I reply. Adam's smile soon turns into a frown once his eyes focus on Johnny. "Cara, what's he doing here?" He points at Johnny.
"Hey Anthony" Johnny says to Adam.
"It's Adam."
"Hey Adam." He walks over to Adam and puts out his hand for Adam to shake, "I work here now. Harry gave me a job. I know we didn't start off on the right foot a couple of weeks ago, so let's clean our slates, put the past behind us and let's start off on the right foot." Adam ignores Johnny's hand.
"Cara" Adam says in a voice that's one speck off from yelling, "Can you meet me in the storage room…now?"
"Uh ok Adam" I say putting the cleaner in the closet. Adam and I walk into the storage room. Adam closes the door.
"Cara" Adam says, "Why is Johnny working here?"
"Well" I start, "Harry hired him and that's about it. He's going to be working with us now."
"Great" Adam mutters, "Now work's going to suck. He wasn't bothering you before I got here was he?"
"No" I quickly respond, lying, "I-"
"Cara.."
"Well maybe a little.." Adam looked mad enough to punch a hole in the wall.
"But don't worry. I can handle it. I already had a talk with him before you got here."
"Ok, but if I see him do anything out of line..."
"You won't Adam." Well at least I hope he won't. We walk back into the store. Johnny's sitting down at one of the tables. He gets up as soon as he sees us.
"Ok" I say, "The store's opening in four minutes, so let's all be prepared for one long day." I face Adam, "Adam, make sure all the blenders are on and make sure we have enough ice cream cups. I'll stay here and make the ice cream for the customers."
"Got it." Johnny walks over towards me.
"I'll help you" Johnny says to me, nudging my shoulder.
"Oh no you won't" Adam says shoving a mop into Johnny's hands, "You can mop the dining floor." Johnny groans.
"You're not my boss" Johnny tells him.
"But I am" I say, "Harry put me in charge. You can mop the floor." Johnny laughs.
"Anything for you" he smirks, "Boss." He walks into the dining area and starts to mop the floor. Two minutes later, the first customer of the day comes walking in.
"Good afternoon sir" I say cheerfully, "How may I help you?"
After three days, I was sick of my job. It's not that I didn't like working. It was because of Johnny. He keeps bothering me. Every time Adam was busy doing something or was in the bathroom, he would flirt with me. Yesterday, he kept complimenting on my hair, my shoes and my eyes! I want to tell Adam about it, but if I tell Adam, Adam might kill him! Well at least today's Friday and I get the next two days of work off.
"Ok guys" I say to Adam and Johnny, "Its break time for us."
"Yes!" Adam cries jumping for joy, "I'm so exhausted. Cara I'll be right back. I have to use the bathroom. After I come out, we can share a milkshake. Ok?"
"Ok" I say. Adam walks into the bathroom and closes the door. I groan as I hear Johnny walk up behind me.
"Hey babe" he says soothingly.
"I'm not your babe" I tell him, "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm trying to remember what Harry told me to do if we ran short of ice cream cups." I feel his hands turn me around.
"I don't think Ashton told you how beautiful you look today."
"It's Adam! And he doesn't have to tell me I'm beautiful every day. I already know that he thinks I'm pretty."
"Well if you were my girl, I'd tell you your beautiful everyday" I slowly start to back up until my back hits the counter.
"Well I'm not your girl" I stutter out, "So I think you should stop talking to me now."
"Why are you still with him Cara?" Johnny asked me, "It's obvious that he's not your type."
"Oh and you magically know what my type is?"
"Yup." He grabs my waist and pulls me in close to him. "I'm your type." I try to break away from him, but his grip on me is too strong. Oh why did Adam have to go to the bathroom?
"Let go of me Johnny" I firmly tell him, scared inside of what I know is going to happen next.
"Come on Cara. Just one little kiss. I've been dying to know what it feels like to kiss a girl as pretty as you."
"Well you're never going to know how it feels. Let me go!" Hurry up Adam and come out of the bathroom!
"I promise my kisses are ten times better than Atticus's."
"It's Adam. And for your information I think Adam's kisses are-" Before I can say anything else, I feel Johnny's lips press against mine. I'm so shocked that my whole body goes numb.
"Hey!" I hear Adam scream. Johnny breaks the kiss as we turn to face Adam, who slams the bathroom door shut, "Get your filthy hands off of her!" Johnny let's go off me as I back into the counter again.
"Look" Johnny says, "I was just trying to-"
"Don't play games with me John!" Adam marches up to Johnny. "You have three seconds to get out of here!"
"I'm not going anywhere" Johnny huffs, "I don't why Cara would waste a breath on a guy like you. I was showing her how it feels to kiss a guy that actually meets her standards." Adam stares coldly at Johnny for a long time. At first I think he's not going to do anything, but after ten seconds his fist hit Johnny's face, hard. Johnny goes falling to the floor. Johnny looks up at Adam. He has a huge black eye on his right eye. I gasp.
"Now get out of here, before I turn you into pudding loser!" Johnny quickly rushes to his feet and takes his apron off. He throws his apron on the floor.
"You're lucky I don't have a bad temper" Johnny yells walking towards the front door, "Fine. I didn't like working here anyway." Before he leaves, he turns to face me, "See you around sugar."
"Get out!" Adam exclaims. Johnny quickly exited the shop. Adam walks up to me with a concerned look in his eyes. His voice softens. "Are you ok?" I shake my head as I bury my head into Adam's chest. I blink back a couple of tear that are threatening to fall.
"I was just tidying up" I say, "And then he came up to me and the next thing I knew, he pulled me into a kiss."
"Cara. Has he been bothering you this whole time he's been working here?"
"Well.."
"Cara. Why didn't you tell me?"
"I don't know. I guess I was afraid you would end up hurting him and Harry would end up firing you."
"Well he's the one that's going to get fired now." I nod. "Are you ok now?"
"Yeah. Now that you're here."
"Don't worry Cara. I don't think we'll be seeing anymore of Johnny." We break our hug. I start to laugh. "What's so funny?"
"Nothing" I reply, "It's just the way your face looks when you're mad."
"What's wrong with my mad face?"
"It's weird to see you look mad, because you're usually all calm and relaxed." He smiles.
"Well when my number one girl's in trouble, my expressions can change quickly." He nudges my shoulder.
"So…" I say smiling, "How about that milkshake?"
"Sounds good to me right now" Adam replies, "Let's make it."
"Ok." So for the rest of our break, we sip on a chocolate shake together, and talk about what we were going to do that weekend. I was happy, not only because I love to hang out with Adam, but because I'm lucky that I have a protective boyfriend who cares deeply about me.
Hope you all liked that. Tell me what you thought of it. Make sure to review for me and also check out my two new stories I published a couple of days ago. Thanks and see you next one-shot!
