-Running-
Of course, Darry made me get a job if I wasn't going to school. H wanted me to work some place nice. Nicer then the greaser part of town anyways. We found a cute place, still on our side of town that was kinda like a country club. The Soc's still went there but, most of the time it was the 'middle class'. The REAL lucky ones. The boss hired me on the spot because they where so short handed and he just kept me. Two-bit or Dally would come and get me after my shift. Everything with Dally was find. Noone said anything about us kissing. We just kinda let it go.
"Mel, do you think you could work late?" My boss asked me as I saw Two-bit pull up.
"Yeah, how much later?"
"½ hour or so. There's a meeting coming in and I need my best workers here." He said turning back to his office. I ran out to the car and went to his window.
"Baby, you have to get in the other side, we can't do anything while him driving. I still have to pay off the ticket from last time." he laughed joking. I smacked him.
"Pig. I have to work late. Only a ½ hour if you wanna come in and wait." I said as he lit up a cig. I hate that.
"Yeah, why not." He said offering me a drag. I made a face and he laughed and put it out. "Someday I'll quit."
"Yeah, it should be today."
"Nah, why do you have to stay late?"
"Meeting..."
"Couldn't he get someone else to do it? I kinda had plans with this one real good looking redhead." He laughed.
"Your plans will have to wait." I smiled walking back to the building. He got out quick and put his arms around my waist turning me around.
"Baby, Im so glad your back." He said rubbing my back sending shivers all over my body.
"I am to." I kissed him then just put my head on his should for a sec til I saw cars pull up.
"Are you going to wait?"
"Of course." He said kissing me then we went back in before the people got out to come in.
One by One they came in and took a sat in the back room. I wasn't paying much attention to who was in the party til I saw a red Mustage pull up. That was my old car. George and Sharon got out and started to make there way into the building. Sharon would say something which would suck because I would be 18 in 8 mouths anyways. Without warning and while Two-bit was in mid-sentence I ran out to the hall to the bathroom. I was there a good 10 min before there was a knock on the door and I heard Two-bit.
"Yeah, my girlfriend's in there. I don't know what's wrong."
"Oh honey, do you want me to go check on her?" A women said.
"Oh... if you would that would be great!" Two-bit said trying to be very nice. I saw the door open and Sharon walk in.
"Miss... Are you alright? I think you may have scared you boyfriend out there."
"Oh yes, just felt a little sick for a second." I said surprised she didn't realize who I was. I slipped out before she would. Two-bit was sitting at the counter looking at the guys in the room. They were all lawyers and Judge's. George was a lawyer. Very successful.
"Sorry about that." I said standing in front of him on the other side of the counter.
"What's wrong?" He asked with a look of censor in his eyes.
"Nothing. Just felt a little sick for a second." I said shaking my head.
"Oh... Your boss called someone else in because they lady told him you looked sick." He said taking off his jacket putting it over me.
"Thanks." I smiled as we made our way to the door. Two-bit ran into someone knocking me to the floor.
"Oh, sorry about that my boy. Wasn't watching where I was going. You to Miss..." I looked up and George stood there with his hand out to help me. He did realize who I was unfortunately.
"Melanie!" He said rather shocked.
"Um... how do you know each other?..." Two-bit asked confused.
"Why, I... was... her foster father." He said looking at Two-bit. That really wasn't the right thing to say. Two-bit punched him in the face then keep it up until George didn't move.
"Two-bit! Lets go! We have to get outta here! NOW!" I said pulling at his arm. There goes my job. Hell, there goes my life!
