Gigi climbed on a stool as she reached on top of the cabinets, "Gigi what are you doing?" Mimi, her mother, walked into the kitchen.
"You wear glasses and you still can't see." Gigi looked to her mother and reached for a box on top of the cabinets before stepping down and turned to her mother.
"What's that?" Her mother pointed to the item in her hand.
"A box." Gigi said nonchalantly.
"What's in the box?" She pointed to the box.
Gigi took a deep breath and looked at the box then back at her mother then the box and back to her mother. "Nothing."
Mimi snatched the box out her daughter's hands before she could react. Gigi's jaw dropped when her mother yanked the box out of her hand. She watched as her mother opened the box.
"I can explain." Gigi started.
"No need to." She closed the box. "He was your father and you were his only child. It is natural for you to miss him and keep things to remember him by". She gave Gigi the box.
"I'm glad you understand." Gigi held the box to her chest.
Mimi shook her head and took a deep breath. "Well you're welcomed." She gave her daughter a pat on the shoulder and walked away.

After an hour of sorting pictures of her father in her box, Gigi slid the box under the bed before settling herself into her cushioned headboard. She turned on her television and flipped through the channels hoping to find something interesting. She settled with the Smurfs and giggled at some of the funny parts.
As she watched the channel her phone started to vibrate on her bed. She didn't feel like talking to anybody at the moment, but she decided to answer the call when she read the name on the caller id.
"Hello." Gigi said into the phone. "Hey Justin." She smiled. "Oh really?" Her smile disappeared. "Oh. Okay." She huffed. "So does this mean I'm out of a job?" She asked. "Okay. I'll see you tomorrow then." She nodded with a sigh before ending her call.
After tossing her phone on the bed she crossed her feet wiggling her toes as she continued to watch the cartoon.

Alex walked down the stairs into the sub shop. Alex stopped in her tracks when she saw her father and Gigi talking in the kitchen.
Alex walked over to her brother and tugged on his sleeve, "What is Gigi doing here?" She looked back to the kitchen.
"She works here?" Justin said maneuvering his way around his sister with a tray in his hand.
"Since when?" Alex asked.
"About a week ago." Justin put the tray on the counter.
"Well I hope dad is firing her, because now that I'm back we don't need her."
Alex and Justin watched as Gigi shook their fathers hand before she came into the sub station. She stopped in front of Justin and Alex.
"So how'd it go?" Justin asked the blonde who had her head down.
"I umm..." She bit her lips and took a deep breath as Alex smiled. Alex just knew Gigi got fired. "I get to keep my job." She smiled.
"What?" Alex said shock.
"That's great." Justin said relieved. He was hoping his father would keep Gigi around. They could really use the help and since Gigi started working there, she brought in a lot of customers. Some to come and make fun and others because even she wasn't as rich as she was they still thought she was hot.
"Yeah." Gigi nodded, "I get to work the rest of the week, but next week I'm not sure. I'm just happy I still have a job." She smiled.
"I'm glad you're still here." Justin nodded with a grin and gave her a pat on the shoulder.
"Me too." Gigi smiled as Justin smirked. "See you tomorrow." She said with a wave as she left.
Alex turned with a funny look on her face as Justin eyes had followed Gigi out of the door. "Excuse me." She tapped his shoulders. "That's great? I'm glad you're still here?" She mocked her brother. "Hello! One of the few things we do have in common is our dislike for Gigi." Alex shrugged, "What was that?"
"She's good worker and we need the extra hand, since someone is lacking in their skills." Justin said of Alex poor work skills. You would think, as she got older she would become more responsible at her job, but she tends to stay the same.
Alex rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Whatever."
"I'm not working here if Gigi is here."
"You abandon your family."
Alex made a face and mocked Justin then got an idea, "Wait a minute. The cards are in my favor. The ball is in my hand." Alex smiled wide. "I will make Gigi's life miserable." A devious look came upon her face.
Justin looked at his sister. "Okay just as long as you do it on your shift."

Gigi woke up the next morning and walked into the kitchen. She reached into the fridge and grabbed a glass out of the cabinets. She poured herself a glass of fruit punch and took a few sips.
Moments later she came down the stairs in her clothes after taking a fresh shower and her hygiene routine. She let her hair down today and worn a simple blue fitted tee and her stone washed skinny jeans and a pair of blue flats.
She looked back into her loft before leaving the house and locking the door behind her.
"Here's your order to go." Gigi handed the man his food. "Have a nice day." She smiled as he left the shop.
"Have a nice day." Justin leaned against the counter.
"Thank you, come again." Gigi mocked, "Sounds so Simpsons-ish."
"Well actually it sounds 7-11 ish." Justin joked.
Gigi laughed, "That too."
"So what are you tonight?"
"I was planning on have a girl day in, but I was invited to go out by that guy over there." Gigi pointed to Zeke, who sat at a table with a group of people. He looked up and waved to Gigi.
"Zeke." Justin said surprised.
"Oh that's his name." Gigi nodded and chortled. "I kept calling him Zack." She shook her head, "Anyway we're going to out to eat at this arcade."
Justin looked to his friend with confused glare. Why would Gigi going on a date with Zeke?
"I didn't really want to go, but it beats staying in the house every night." She sighed, "Hey." She put her hands on his shoulder, "Now you and your girlfriend could spend some time with together." She smiled.
"Yeah." Justin rubbed his chin as a smirk appeared on his face while he nodded.
"Okay!" Gigi chortled.
------
At the arcade, Gigi and Zeke were playing at the basketball station. Gigi was making her baskets while Zeke was having a few problems. Before the finished and Gigi won, Zeke tried to make a basket, but the ball bounced off the rim and across the room. Zeke looked to Gigi then the ball and scratched his head as he turned back to Gigi and shrugged.
"I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't supposed to happen." Gigi scrunched her face then gave a little laugh.
"What I lack in basketball. I make up in cuteness." Zeke joked.
Gigi paused and looked at Zeke, "I'll go along with that."
Zeke pushed his lip out then escorted Gigi to their table. "You hungry, water and a piece of lettuce."
"Haha! Funny!" Gigi turned the touch screen menu towards her and order her food. "A triple quarter with cheese, ketchup and mustard, and pickles, a large fry and a diet soda." Gigi then thought about that, "A large pink lemonade." She corrected with a smile.
Zeke looked in shock at Gigi after order, not too many girls would order or eat like that in front of guys.
"And for the boy." She glared at Zeke. "A kids meals with a shake and a toy." She batted her lashes.
"Gimme that." He took back the touch screen.
Gigi giggled at Zeke as he pressed his order on the screen. Gigi looked from the table to see Justin walking into the place with Juliet.
Juliet spotted Gigi as her smile dropped and her arm wrapped tight around Justin's.
Gigi smiled at Juliet's insecurity and shook her head.
Justin and Juliet sat a few tables away from Gigi and Zeke. Justin kept his eye on the two, as Juliet would pull his face to hers as they kissed.
Zeke looked up to see Justin and Juliet sitting at the table cuddling and kissing. He sighed and sunk into his seat. "Great. I knew I shouldn't have told him, where we were going."
"Aw." Gigi pouted as she comforted Zeke, "Well if you want we can make him a little jealous."
"You would do that for me?" Zeke said surprised.
Gigi gave Zeke a funny look. "No, I really couldn't. I'm sorry." She shook her head.
Zeke gave a laugh then nod. "You suggestion was all I needed." He gave Gigi a hug.
Justin looked back and hung his head.
------
"That was really..." Gigi paused, "Nice of you to bring your girlfriend to the arcade to spy on Zeke and I."
Justin crossed his arms. "Why Zeke?"
"He asked me out." Gigi replied.
"You knew he was a friend of mines and you went out with him to make me jealous." Justin was jealous.
"Yeah. Really. No." Gigi frowned shook her head. "I said yes, because he asked me... for the thirteenth time... that last hour." She thought about Zeke, "Your friend is very determined." Gigi shot a look at Justin, "Don't try to make this about me. When you used your girlfriend to try, but failed miserably, to make me jealous."
"Not everything is about you."
"Oh see Justin. After all these years you still don't get it." Gigi put placed her hand on his shoulder. "Everything is about me."
"You know I don't like the cocky Gigi." Justin sneered.
"Yes you do." Gigi grinned.
"Okay." Justin nodded.
Gigi chortled and gave Justin a peck on the lips. "You are cute, but you're taken." She grinned then left the shop.
