Chapter 3

"Courtney, I'm getting married! Will you be my maid of honor?"

The line replayed over and over in my brain. Married? She's getting married? And me maid of honor? I was stunned.

"Courtney? Courtneeey? Helloooo... COURTNEY!" Bridgette screamed, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Geoff proposed?! Geoff the big party man proposed?!" I couldn't believe it.

Bridgette nodded showing me the ring on her finger. Now I really couldn't believe it. The ring was beautiful and it had Bridgette's favorite color rhinestone on the ring. Topaz Blue.

"Congrats B, it's about time." I giggled hugging her tightly.

"Thank you Court, 4 whole years of being together and now we're making it official! Geoff is even throwing a huge party bash next weekend and everyone's coming!" Bridgette squealed while blushing.

It didn't surprise me when she said Geoff was throwing a party; that man loves his parties. Really everyone knew those two were made for each other and would be the first to jump the broom. I don't know if they know that but hey no big deal.

I lead Bridgette outside as she floated on cloud 9 thinking about her big day. Then it hit me. She said everyone was coming didn't she? Everyone as in...wait. Not THAT EVERYONE. I was nervous to ask but I had to know.

"Bridge, when you said everyone was coming..by whom do you mean?"

"Our friends from TW silly, well some not technically friends per say more like acquainted and warming up to friends." She beamed.

I knew it. Which means he was gonna be there, and not just him; her too. Oh joy. Bridgette must of saw the slight sick look on my face to know what I'm thinking and it clicked together. She quickly hugged me and panicky said 'sorry' like 10 times to me. I told her it was ok it didn't bother me much. But knowing Bridgette she wasn't going to leave it alone.

"Hey come with me to town, I wanna show you something! You think your mom will be ok with you ditching the unpacking?" She looked back at my mom instructing the movers around.

"She'll be ok, she knows you're here so let's go."

Bridgette fist pumped the air before dragging me by the arm into town of LA. We went by so many shopping malls, clubs, and restaurants it was head spinning. We went to the beach next and I watched people surf, and show off their swimsuits.

"If you're trying to get me to surf you can forget it Bridgette." I warned my surfing friend as she continued to pull me along the sand. She did t say anything but smiled big at me, and that worried me.

A wooden building came into view. 'The Wave' the sign read. I looked at Bridgette questionly waiting for answers.

"This is where I work! It's the coolest place here at the beach. I make smoothies, try out the new food samples for free and get to enjoy the perfect view of the ocean." She bragged smiling.

We walked inside and I understood what she meant by being a cool place. It had a good air hockey table, a big lounge couch with a flat screen tv, and an ice cream bar. I looked behind the counter I could see the smoothie machine. The menu was short but simple.

Nachos: $3.50

Chilli Cheese Dogs: $2.50

Ice Cream: $4.00

Smoothies: S- $1.20 M- $2.45 L- $4.25 Monster- $6.00

Monster? What was that? A smoothie? I didn't want to ask, but Bridgette saw my eye trail decided to explain.

"The Monster smoothie is exactly what sounds like. It's Huge, like Godzilla huge!" She laughed.

I shook my head at her and looked around more at the place as took a seat at the bar.

"So how many people work here with you B? I bet it gets a lot of business."

"Just me and the manager, and yeah we get tons of business." She sat beside me.

Again I was speechless. She was the only one working here? What kind place is this?!

"I know that look and no it's not all bad as you think it might be." She giggled before continuing. "The public mostly come here to cool off and chill on the couch and play the games. I half the time don't lift a finger!" She laughed that time.

I was starting to get a bit jealous of Bridgette. She was getting married and had really true to her word the coolest job ever.

I smiled at her as I let out a breath. "You're really lucky B. I wish I had a awesome job like this it looks fun." I admit.

"Well why don't you work here with me? It would so fun and nice to talk to you instead of texting you after hours. What do you say?!" She exclaimed.

She caught me off guard as she said that. Everything was happening so fast but I got excited.

"You think I could work here with you? I mean I just got here and all, do you your boss will say yes?" I asked trying not to get my hopes up.

Bridgette gave me a sly smirky look as she nod at me. Should I be worried? Again? She ran to back through a door for employees only and was gone for about 4 minutes. When she returned there was a man that looked to be in his 40s, very built and slightly tanned. I'm guessing he's the manager of the place. He gave me a big smile and he looked me over.

"Courtney, this is my boss Tai. Tai this is my best friend Courtney. She just moved here really wants a job." Bridgette introduced us.

I smiled saying hello being polite as always and kept looking over. Was he trying to find something wrong with me? I don't know but I was starting to feel uncomfortable.

"Bridgette says you're a very hard worker when it comes to getting the job done and your very organized and neat." He said more than asked. I nodded to him still looking at him in the eye.

He laughed as he continued. "I like that, we need someone like that. You're hired! Besides any good friend of Bridgette is cool in my book. Welcome aboard Courtney!" He shook my hand before patting Bridgette on the back.

"Bridgette will teach everything she knows around here. If you have any problems come her or me and I'll see you tomorrow!" He exclaimed as he walked back to the back room from once he came. I looked at ready to blow my mind.

"What. Was. That?!" I screamed whispered to her and she fell over laughing at me. I wasn't amused. "Why was he looking at me like that? Like he's looking through my clothes." I said continuing to freak out.

"Calm down he was just testing you. He did it to me too. You see he was staring at you like that to see if you would be uneasy being looked at cause trust me it's gonna happen. If you can't handle any guys or girls staring at you like sharks than you can't work here." She said.

"Well uh.. ok I mean it doesn't bother if people look at me. I have been on tv before." I smiled at Bridgette. She smiled at me and we started to head back to my house. Bridgette explained to me what time we open and close, what I should wear, and natural dos and don'ts. Pretty simple stuff really. I was gonna catch a ride to work with her until I knew I way around better. Bridgette dropped me off at my drive way and gave me a hug.

"I'll be over early to get you and to find you an amazing bikini to wear. So get some sleep." She smiled more at me.

"Yes mother and I'll brush my teeth before bed." I joked.

"You better or you're grounded young lady!" She yelled leaving. I laughed at her as I walk inside the house and to my room. My bed was set up and all my boxes were by the wall. Another day, another time. I'll unpack later I'm going to bed.

I was really happy about today. I met up with my best friend and got a job. I'm proud of myself. I must've been more tired than I thought because once my head touched my pillow I was out.

The next morning when I woke I made myself a light breakfast before Bridgette came to get me. My mom already left to go to work so I was home alone. Doing what I do best I got on my phone got on Netflix. For some reason again I started watching TDI. I guess because it brought back memories. The episode I watched was the deer and hunter one. I cracked up watching Beth and Heather shoot each other. That was classic. The moment was short lived when the part me and Duncan antlers got stuck together. Talk about embarrassing.. Until I kicked him in the balls. Everyone thought it was uncalled for but he deserved it I don't care. Before I knew it was getting lost in my thoughts about the green hair idiot of an ex of mine.

A car horn honked from outside bringing me back to life. It had to Bridgette, so locking my phone up I grabbed my keys and locked the door heading to my first day of work.
