Chapter 4
'Dude, Isn't that that girl from the bar last night?' said Matt, staring out of the shop window at the pretty woman on the bench across the road.
Shannon quickly walk towards the window and looked out. It was, it was her. His heartbeat quickened. What is she doing to me.
'Mabye I should go talk to her, you know, see if she is okay, she was in a pretty bad way last night.' Shannon replied, deciding he was going to anyway regardless of what anyone said.
'Well if you want but I'm not too sure about her.' Matt spoke again, looking at Shannon.
'Dude, give it a rest she sounds like she has been through a lot. I'm sure you would be pretty screwed up too.' spoke Shannon in a raised tone of voice as he walked out of the door and over to where she was.
'Hey, mind if I join you?'
Faith looked up and breathed in sharply, Shannon. Shit.
'Erm, actually I should be going,' she started to gather her bags, 'lots to do.'
'Wait, Faith...' Shannon trailed off.
'How the hell does he know my name, I didn't tell him.
'How do you know my name? I didn't tell you.' Faith curiously asked.
Shit. Busted.
'I...erm....I....,' started Shannon, wondering what to say. 'Look I will be honest, I kept one of your application forms, I really want you to have an interview at Gas Chamber Ink. I think you have potential.
Faith stood still, looking at Shannon. She thought about it. I could really do with a job, moneys getting tight. But its them, I made a fool of myself last night. Well I suppose I've been through worse. Ahhh what the hell, a job is a job after all, if I don't like it I can always leave.
'When?' Faith asked.
'When what?'
'The interview, when?' she replied to his question.
Right. I'm confused, now she wants the interview. It shocked Shannon, he expected her to say no, prepared himself for it.
'How about now?' he asked tentativley, didn't want to scare her off.
'Now....,' she thought for a minute. 'Ermmmmm....mabye this isn't such a good idea.'
She could see Matt and Gregory looking through the window, suddenly didn't want to walk into the shop.
Shannon looked behind him to see what she was looking at saw them right up against the window.
'We don't have to have it in there, if you don't want to. We can go get a coffee. Although I must warn you if you do get the job you will have to face them at some point.' He chuckled trying to lighten the mood.
'Okay, sounds good.' Faith replied, a small smile playing on her lips. Shannon relaxed her, she hadn't felt calm in ages, this scared her slightly.
Together they started to walk towards the coffee shop down the street.
'Mabye she is normal after all.' said Gregory as they watched them walk down the street.
