I woke up around sunrise. Lazily hopping out of bed I made my way to the fridge to grab breakfast, eating on the toilet again, of course.
After eating I decided it'd be a good idea to brush my teeth. It was my first day of work after all, I didn't want to get known as "The Designer with bad Breath".
I called my overseer to see if he had any leads yet. Turns out he had a bunch! I headed out to one that wanted a new library room.
Once I arrived I waited for the owner to vacate the premises so I could get to work. When I saw who the owner was, I was a little shocked. I mean, I'd read about him on the internet in college. He was a low class celebrity, but a celebrity nonetheless.
Once I finished up the job I walked up the stairs and looked at it for a little while. I thought I did pretty good for my first job ever, I mean, I could have done worse right?
I cautiously went outside to the sidewalk to tell client his room was ready. I was nervous partly because it was my first job, and partly because he was a celebrity. If he didn't like it, it's safe to say that would get around the whole town.
He headed inside to check out the room. I hanged around the stairwell, watching, checking his reactions. He didn't seem too impressed or too depressed, so I really had no idea what he was going to say to me as he came up the stairs. We walked outside and he patted me on the shoulder.
"Nice job kid, I really like it. It's all stuff I'd never think of, but I love nonetheless! I'll give you a little extra for being awesome at your job, here's 50," he said, patting my shoulder the whole time. I was in awe, and I felt like I would fall over from his patting. I came to my senses fast enough to thank him and collect my pay.
After I got home I decided it'd be a good idea to call up Shirley. I hadn't seen her all day, and I knew I probably wouldn't see her by chance any time soon. She said she'd be right over and I suddenly got nervous.
I hopped in the shower and washed every inch of me twice. Once I got out, I brushed my teeth five times, and washed my hands four. I cleaned my 'house' another two times and cleaned out my fridge. Man am I a neat freak...
When she arrived I was so happy I couldn't contain myself! I ran over to greet her and start chatting.
We started chatting, and chatting and chatting until I decided to make my move! I started flirting subtly, and she didn't seem to pick up on it, so I kicked it up a notch...
And she loved it! She grabbed my face and pulled in close. All I could see were those gleaming eyes, and that cute smile, and I melted. She giggled like she always did and looked down. She gasped when she saw my watch and pulled away. "Is it really that late!? I have to get going Leon, I'm sorry! I had a really great time, I hope we can do this again sometime. See you".
I stood and watched as she sprinted away. I knew she probably had to go to bed so she could get up in the morning for work, and I knew I should have asked her to stay over, but I couldn't muster up enough courage.
I slipped into bed and lied awake for a good hour, just beating myself up about not inviting her to stay over. After a realized I had work the next day too I quickly emptied my head and nodded off to sleep.
Great start! :D
