Fallen for You

Chapter 8- Pizza π 🌶🌶

/the next day at the appointment. I freshen up in bathroom my makeup was getting a bit cakey so i removed it and apply a more simpler look. Which i am most pleased about. As the remaining recruits are getting fewer till my turn i looked at my ticking wrist watch to simply remind myself and prepping myself to how i was going to respond to the ones hiring me.

/waiting time was excrusiatingly draining. So i had to keep myself active i decided to get a snack from 8/11 by the street just in front of the pizza shop in whih i was applying. As I look at line and 5 more recruit before me. I had to make a quick run to 8/11 as i look both ways as i cross the pedestrian in the green light. I arrived in short of breath, sweat dripping down my temples i entered an air conditioned mini shop. I shuffled and browsed the shelves and found a packaged sandwich in whih my stomach grumbled in agreement and bottled juice to wash it down.

/as i chomped on my sandwich and drank to cleansed it. Out of boredom by talking to other recruits.

Okay. I was bored. Did it feels like im getting ahead of myself? Yes. Is this somewhat will make me the most unlikable? Yes again. But then I felt IT WAS a good idea since Im so impatient and had nothing to do.

"Hi" as i brightly greeted the girl next to me

"Hello" she said nonchalantly and only took a glimpse at me. But that greeting was enough before i was called for my turn.

/Now my nervousness is kicking in. The timing is impeccable

I am thee most nervous wreck.

But i jave to keep my composer and allow myself to be my genunine self. I straighten you my vest and fluffed my creme blouse and put out my compact mirror and some liquid lipstick in color of pop soda, which is a brand new color of vibrant vermillion and cherry red. Which was part of my no 'makeup' simple makeup look.

/it was my turn. As the other recruit had just opened the door for my turn. My serotonin and stress level hitched up drastically. I started sweating profoundly. I ease up my collar to let a little air in my chest from the tightness of vest tucking in the circulation of my torso.

Yeah. It was one of those hourglass figure vest shaper that accentuates your curves a bit defined. I was trying to impress and i felt good looking my best at the interview no cleavage was showing by the way. I get a little self conscious to muster the courage to wear anything daring.

/i held my breath and let it out of my system slowly and entered with a pleasant smile as i firmly shook the hand of my interviewer that was one of the managers of Pizza Pi.

As he gestured me to seat at the seat across him. As he open my file he smiled politely

"So its says in your resume that you are currently a high school student"

"Yes"

"So why do you want this job?"

"I have heard that you offer part timers? And of course, i love food especially pizza"

He smiled again, didnt know if that was a good sign though

As the interview continued for a while as I shooked his hand again and left the building.

/"thank you we will call you" that was a red flag that somehow i knew i wasnt going to get the job. So i went home and of course i went directly to my room and opened my netflix binge watch the dracula while ordering my favorite pad thai from Chow Queen. After the nerve wrecking interview all i wanna do is relax. Chill out.

Whatever the outcome of my interview i wasn't worried i did my best and all of the answers were very true and i had no past experiences for this is 'supposedly' my first job. But hey, i was trainable if ever.

/DING DONG

My order is here. I rushed in my silk pjs to get the door

"That will be...." i handed in the exact amount. The suspicious delivery guy was

"Orifiel? Is that you?"

His silence and the way he keeps on not meeting my gaze, i found it very cute. "Is this your last order?" He nods. As I grinned and dragged him in. He was a friend. My best friend before he got Erelah.

Sure I found it a bit off that they got together in a short period of time. And of course, inviting him in was like trying to spark fire between me and Erelah. But I kinda miss him.

/"Join me and lets eat together, ill triple your pay with my emergency allowance"

"But Erelah..."

"Invite her too."

"No. She might get the wrong idea of me staying here."

"Plus she doesnt relly like me being with you."

"Finally you said it. Either of you to say it" I finally spatted out my feelings about their whole 'relationship' something about it felt really cringy and weird that i kinda disliked it.

"Sorry,I just feel left out in these times. Now that you have a gf. I dont know where i will fit in your circle." i blurted out.

Then as matters are getting dramatic i received an email informing me that i didnt got the job. When i thought matter couldnt get more worse. This. THIS! WAS THE CHERRY ON TOP.

As a tear fell from my cheek he wiped it with his thumb and we stared intensely from which seemed like a whole 5 minutes or more. As my hazel eyes borrowed in his blue grey one reeling me in to a lip locking session. As a string of saliva as we parted and gently bump heads in exhaustion.

I knew the air had just shifted a platonic relation to lustrous longing.
