Dreaming of You
Meeting Kylie
I rolled up to work and parked in the back. I sighed a bit realizing that I had to be here, and finally convinced myself to climb out of the car. When I walked in the back door of the little self-serve frozen yogurt shop I saw that my best friend, and co-worker was sitting on one of the tables.
"Hey Serenity!" She screamed, I could not help but smile at her.
"The manager is going to kill you, get off the table" I said, passing her to go to the register so I can clock in.
"You never let me have any fun" She whined, climbing off the table. Her black and sky-blue hair looked even better in the bright fluorescent lights of this cheery place.
The store itself was called Purple vine. Everything inside was Lavender and Green. The brightly lit store made everything shine, including the purple booths, purple chairs and purple floor. Because it was self-serving all the employees had to do was ring them up and keep the toppings bar clean. I hate my job, I’d never let anyone know it. Besides, keeping my bills paid was a strong interest of mine.
"I just don't understand how our manager is giving you so many hours" I said as I clocked in.
"It's cause I’m cute and sassy" Kylie said, smiling to reveal all white teeth.
"clearly" I said with an attitude. Kylie could get whatever she wanted by just asking. A luxury I could never have.
"You're in a bad mood today" Kylie noted.
"Nah, just frustrated" I admitted. I thanked god a bit that our manager was not in yet and that there were no customers in the store. Honestly this place never has business.
"Why my love?" Kylie asked, she walked over to me and jumped up on the counter close to the register.
"I dreamt of him again Kylie, it was so real" I said, Looking into her bright blue eyes.
"Sweetheart, he’s famous! I dream of him sometimes too and let me tell you how real it feels when we are both in my room shaggin' our brains out" Kylie said, her eyes growing wide as she pulled a cigarette out of her shirt.
"I know but it's just different and-please don't tell me your going to smoke that in here" I said, My attention going to her.
"What if I am?" She asked, pulling a lighter from her shirt as well and lighting the baby up.
"Dude, workplace. You will be like fired if she finds out that your smoking in here" I said, reaching for her cigarette.
"She fires me every day, I just continue to come in" Kylie said, holding her cigarette away from me. That’s when I noticed it.
"Why aren't you wearing your uniform?" I asked.
"I don't feel like it" She responded, taking a hit of her cigarette. I snatched it from her, put it out with my shoe and threw it away. I took out my keys and handed them to her.
"Go get my spare shirt from the car and put it on" I said, worried she will get fired legitimately. In all honesty it’s not like she needed this job, her daddy took care of everything she needed. Kylie only worked here to spend time with me, which I was okay with…even if she is the most annoying person in the world.
"Fine, I’m going to get us McDonalds when I’m in your car" Kylie laughed as she ran out the back door.
She was a character, she was loud and rebellious. She was the complete opposite of me and I loved her for that. I have known her for most of my life, to be honest I kind of owe that girl my life. She may be obnoxious, and sometimes flat out rude but at the end of the day she was my superhero.
