Chapter 6: New Job... Or Jobs?
"Do you want fries with that?"
Lizzie handed the customer their tray. It was a busy Friday at The Digital Bean. Gordo shoved through the crowd of customers to get to Lizzie. He finally made it.
"Lizzie, when are you going to be ready to go?" he managed to say before getting pushed aside by a group of customers.
"Not for – would you like to super size your drink? – another – do you want fries with that? – hour – that will be $4.23, Sir. – at least!" she answered while taking another order.
"Can I help?" Gordo made his way back to the front.
"Yes, please!" Gordo squirmed to the back room and came back out with an apron on.
At least an hour and a half later, they were done. Every customer was served and Lizzie could finally go. They were just about to leave when Lizzie's manager stopped them.
"Oh, come on!" Lizzie said. "We finished already!"
"Actually," replied the manager, "I was going to offer your friend here a job. What do you say?"
"Well...If I can have the same hours as Lizzie, then count me in!"
Lizzie and Gordo finally had a chance to go out. They went to a movie and dinner, both of which Gordo graciously paid for. Afterward, Gordo drove them to the beach. They sat on top of his car next to each other. Gordo wrapped his arms around her waist and she leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Gordo, isn't this great? We can work together at the same job. Now my job can't keep us apart!"
Lizzie's pager went off.
"Well," Gordo chuckled as she looked at her pager, "at least one job can't."
"It looks like they want me for a commercial tomorrow; I've got to go discuss my lines with Kenny. Do you want to come?"
"I think I have to; otherwise, you'd have to walk!"
Lizzie and Kenny were discussing her lines, payment, etc. while Gordo sat and listened.
About a half an hour later, Lizzie was done and they could leave. Suddenly, Kenny's office's phone went off.
"Talk to me." he answered. "Uh huh... alright." He hung up. "You're wanted upstairs."
"But Kenny-" Lizzie started, but was interrupted by Kenny.
"Not you... him." He pointed at Gordo.
When Gordo and Lizzie went upstairs, they found the door to an office open. They stepped inside and heard a man.
"I saw your short performance. Have you ever considered becoming an actor?"
