Thank you for reviewing! XD I'm really grateful and I'm sorry it's short, but the next one is so much longer, and I'm not done writing it yet. :D
You smiled happy, looking across the counter at Kougyoku. She also had a pleasant smile on her face. You both were at Little Shop of Whores, and you were alone. Yes, alone. Alibaba had called in sick. (You didn't know weather he was or not) and Sinbad was being Sinbad. Once you realized that it would be another day without anyone there to bug you, you called Kougyoku ,since you had remembered that she had asked you to let her know the next time you were there by yourself. She had happily said that she'd be there as soon as possible. Then less than five seconds later, Kouha called you complaining that you should have called him to go over saying that Kougyoku shouldn't be in a porn store and that it was inappropriate. You knew the real reason why he would have rathered you call him to go instead, so you asked him if he just wanted to come to 'mess around' with you, and he didn't deny it.
"It's nice to be in here alone," Kougyoku said, "It's much easier to look around, although I did see some...errr...interesting things." You nodded.
"Yeah, I've been working here for a while now and I still see things that are really crazy," You said, thinking about how the dvds with your boss on it still got to you. You shuddered at the thought. It was a really slow day. Kougyoku was the only customer, although she really wasn't there to shop. Especially since she said that Kouha had told her he'd kill her if he saw that she had bought any items from over there. You sighed tiredly, still smiling as you leaned over the counter a bit.
"So, what made you want to work here?" Kougyoku asked. Well...
"Believe me, it's not like this was my first line of work," You complained, "But, I needed a job and this was the only thing available." Kougyoku nodded.
"I see," she said. It's not like her or any of the Rens had to experience 'working' unless they wanted to. They lived a high life-style, and it was as if they wanted to affect everyone around them with it. In fact, the night you and Kouha had gotten together, he said that you should quit your job and let him pay for your stuff, since his modeling career left him with a lot of extra money, that he had nothing to spend on. You quickly declined, because you didn't want him to do that for you, and you had just started going out. "What's having a job like?" Kougyoku asked. You shrugged.
"Get one and see for yourself," you sarcastically said. Kougyoku, on the other hand, thought you were being serious. She just nodded, then her face had a bright expression.
"Oh, let me work here today with you! It'll be fun," she said. You had no idea why almost everyone that knew you had this job thought that working in a porn store must be fun. It's not! Mostly perverts shop here.
"No," you said. Kougyoku frowned, pouting a bit.
"Why not," she whined. You just sighed.
"Because Kouha will kill me if he finds out," you said. Kougyoku shook her head.
"No he won't. Your his girlfriend. He'll just be mad at me," she said, "Pleeeasssseeee, [Name]." She had a pleading look on her face. Well, it was a slow day, and no one would probably come to the store. You finally gave in, rather easily.
"Fine," you said. Kougokyu smiled.
"Thank you, [Name]!" she happily said. You wondered why she was so excited about working. You figured that this would be her first and last time working, so maybe that was the reason. "What should I do?" You looked around the store slightly. You had already stacked all of the knew items, and everything was clean and nothing was out of place.
"Well, there's nothing to do right now," you told her. Kougyoku frowned.
"Ugh! This isn't fun at all," she complained. You gave her a look that said 'seriously?'
"Yeah, I know," you said. Kougyoku sighed, leaning on the counter a bit, then the bell rang, indicating that someone walked in. Kougyoku's head perked up and she looked towards the door to see a young woman. She had purple hair and was wearing red lip-stick and a business suit. Kougokyu smiled, seeing as she could finally do something. The woman began to walk abound the store. Kougyoku was about to walk over to her, but you grabbed her by the arm of her light pink sweater-dress. She looked at you curiously. "We aren't suppose to ask customers if they need help. They have to ask us or look really troubled. Shopping in a porn store is really embarrassing for some people," you explained. Kougyoku pouted, but nodded nonetheless. The woman continued to walk around the store.
"Does she look troubled yet?" Kougyoku asked. You shook your head.
"Not really," you said. The woman looked as if she had a determined look on her face for whatever reason. She went in the back of the store for a bit before returning to the front area. She walked over to the cash register empty handed.
"Excuse me," she said, her voice was confident and loud. That made you a little uneasy. "I'm looking for a Sybian machine." You were a bit surprised. Most people aren't that straight forward. Kougyoku smirked.
"I'll be happy to help you," she said, "follow me." She led the woman through the store. Sure she had looked around it a bit when she first got to the store, but did she really know what the woman was talking about? It was silent for a bit, until you heard something.
"Ugh! You're absolutely ignorant!" You heard the woman yell, causing you to wince.
"I-I'm sorry!" you heard Kougyoku nervously say. You rolled your eyes, shaking your head slightly before leaving behind the cash register and walking in the direction that you saw them go in. On your way there, you passed by the Sybian machines and grabbed one for your customer.
"Here Miss," you said, handing it to her. You noticed that she was wearing a name tag that read 'Myers'. That was a surprise most people took that off before going into the shop. She had thanked you, then walked to the front to pay, saying that your 'coworker' needed to be trained better. Once Myers left, Kougyoku sighed in relief.
"I'm sorry, [Name]," she said, "I thought I could help, b-but I didn't know what she was talking about." You smiled at her.
"It's alright, Alibaba still calls me even when I'm off for things like this. Here," you said, giving her a pamphlet. "This has all of our inventory and where to find it. It's actually to help customers, but no one uses it. There are also signs above the isles. No one uses those either." Kougyoku looked up, nodding.
"Oh, I didn't notice that," she said, then smiled happily, "Alright well, I'll take the next customer." Quite a bit of time had passed before anyone came in. You were just talking to Kougyoku about college and things like that, figuring out that a lot of her classes were at the same time as yours. Then the bell rang, and Kougyoku's head immediately went to the shop door. It was two older looking men. Kougyoku looked down, blushing as they walked further in the store. They looked like business partners and somehow familiar. You looked at Kougyoku.
"You know, if they ask for help, I think I should go instead. I don't think your brothers would-"
"No, it's fine, I'll handle this," Kougyoku interrupted you. You sighed, nodding nonetheless. In the end, they did ask for help, and Kougyoku went to assist. It was silent, and you were worried until you heard laughter. Her laughter. "Well, it's my first day, but I know who you're talking about. [Name] come here!" she called. You went over to the back to see a delighted smile on all of their faces, causing you to smile. Kougyoku looked at you, "[Name], these are Alibaba's half brothers," she said. The shorter one nodded.
"Yeah, we were surprised he was working at this place and we wanted to check it out," he said. The taller one nodded, too.
"It isn't like him to work here ,though. Your adorable coworker here was telling us how squeamish he seemed when she met him," he said. Kougyoku smiled. After that wonderful little chat, the guys left, though they didn't buy anything. It was starting to get late and turn dark outside. You were going around the shop, making sure that everything was in it's place, picking up knocked down toys as you did so. When you got to the front, you saw Kougyoku texting. She looked up at you for a second before looking back down.
"Do you want to sleep over tonight?" she asked you, you sighed shaking your head.
"Sorry, but I have to be at work early tomorrow," you said. Kougyoku frowned, then smiled, looking back up at you.
"Then I'll sleep over at your house. It'll be fun, and I don't mind if you have to leave early," she said. Well, it wasn't a horrible idea. You smiled at her and nodded.
"Sure," you said.
