↪ Warnings: Fluff, Stuttering (Sorry), Not the best of Writing, Oscar Isaac
↪ Summary: Your first day on the job. Seems simple enough right? Well, that simplicity changes when you meet your new boss and new coworker. Simple....right?
A/N : I'm so sorry for this. The stuttering does get out of hand tbh- I hope this isn't too cheesy. This is from my Wattpad. It's sure going to look childish. Yeah, just read it. What could go wrong?
Cheerio!
Words: 1k :)
It was a day like no other.
You had work today at the Museum. You had just gotten a job there and didn't want to go. Sure, it was to pay off rent, and yeah, you thought it would be fun.
But, waking up at 6 am just to sell things that didn't associate with Egyptians seemed foolish.
You lifted yourself off your very comfortable bed. It was the most relaxed you've been in a while. You had such a groggy feeling as you lazily opened your eyelids. Your eyes gave a second to adjust.
The sun shined through your curtains. You stretched your arms and yawned as you set your eyes on your alarm clock.
6:55...
That's what it read. right? You squinted your eyes so that you could make sure you were reading it correctly.
"Oh, bloody hell.."
You huffed as you quickly got up to grab your clothes from your dresser. Two words repeated in your head as you tried to rush your way out of the apartment. 'I'm Late. I'm Late. I'm Late!'
You eventually did make it out the door but, dang, you didn't have your keys.
You rolled your eyes as you barged back into your apartment to find your keys. Didn't take you long, but it could've been quicker to find them.
You stormed out the door, locking it swiftly. You would be delighted to just look decent since you didn't get a chance to even look at yourself in the mirror.
Just what you need to start your new day at work.
. . . . . . . . 𓆩❤︎𓆪 . . . . . . . .
You had eventually set foot into the museum. Sadly, you were looking for the gift shop. Your field of vision was a bit lazy as you tried your hardest to look around without looking like a twat.
Your search was stopped when someone tapped your shoulder.
Your body jolted towards the tap. Your eyes had moved first as your head followed to reveal a woman. A very disappointed-looking woman to be exact.
Your eyes went straight for the name tag. It read 'Donna'
'Shit, it's my boss'
The stiffness in your body grew as she stared at you with a disgusted face.
"Annndd where the hell have you been?"
Her accent was strong as she scolded you. You gave her a sheepish smile as you scratched the back of your neck.
"I- I'm sorry, I wo-"
"I don't need your excuses, your 'partner' was late too. Can I not even have loyal employees?!"
Her voice rose. You were stuck on the word she used for your secretary. They are supposed to help you in the Gift Shop department since you've never been good with cashiers. You would've never expected them to be late.
"Well? get to WORK!"
Your eyes grew wider as people around you began to stare. You nodded to Donna, yet, you still had to ask her one more question. Where the hell is the gift shop.
"Don-"
"To your right"
"Yes ma'am"
You saluted her off for some reason. You shook it off as you jogged towards the Gift Shop. Luckily, it was easy to see. You were also glad to see that there weren't any customers.
You finally reached a white counter that shined bright against the lights from the ceiling.
You looked left and right for your so-called secretary. You couldn't quite find them so you just decided to take a minute for yourself and put your stuff away.
You had also found a small mirror on the counter.
You decided it would be best to fix the mess of hair that appeared to be a bird's nest.
You laughed a bit at yourself as you attempted to fix it. Along with your eye bags, you grabbed some under-eye foundation, which you thought was very useful.
As you began to place the substance on your face, some sort of eerie feeling came upon you. It didn't feel right but it didn't feel wrong either.
You shook your head slightly and finished the rest of the mush on your face so it didn't look out of place.
Suddenly, your eyes met with another's in the mirror. You looked concerned as you slowly turned towards the being.
"Oh..h-hi"
Someone said with a flustered voice. Your face met with theirs. You scanned them, it was a guy. A very handsome guy to say the least.
You had forgotten about their greeting so you blurted out,
"H-hello!"
Your face went into a bright pink as the man chuckled a bit at your response. You tried to laugh along but your brain felt like it was shutting down.
"I-I'm guessing you're the one working with me, no?"
You forced yourself to nod a 'yes' towards the black-haired boy. He appeared to be wearing a grey jacket of sorts with a button-up collar and some very nice dark grey jeans. He had very curly hair which fell on top of his forehead. 'Talk about smoking hot!'
You hadn't noticed, but a smirk grew onto your face as you scanned the man's features.
"Let m-me show ya the ropes"
"Sure"
He spoke fluently, yet, he always stuttered at least once in his sentences. Probably because you were a new person to appear in his life. An attractive one to say the least.
He began showing you where everything is. You had a fond memory so it wasn't too hard to recollect everything. You took one whole circle around the Gift Shop until you came back to the counter.
"So? Y-you think you're good to go?"
You meddled with your hands as you were stuck on one thing. The stupid cash register. That's the one thing that you struggled with the most.
"I-I um... Could you p-possibly.."
Why was this so damn hard? You were usually so good at speaking your mind and finding words without thinking about it. For some reason, it was so hard to find the words to ask how to use a singular cash register.
You rolled your eyes at yourself. The curly-haired boy didn't seem to take it that way.
"S-Sorry, did I say something wrong?"
A confused look came back to you as you waved your arms around.
"No! of course not, why would you think that?"
He started to fiddle with his thumbs as he couldn't think of something to say. You looked at him for a second to spot a name tag. You quickly read it.
"Steven"
Your right hand covered your mouth from the sudden outburst. 'I didn't mean to say that out loud!'. Steven looked at you with his cheeks turning a dark red. His eyes were wide as his mouth was partly open.
"How-"
"Your name tag! Don't worry I'm not a stalker!"
You both laughed a bit in relief. This was getting a little awkward. You sure as hell didn't want Donna to come back and yell at the two of you for not getting your work done.
"Just- could you help me with the register?"
Steven's eyes looked joyous. It was as if they were sparkling.
"M-my help?!"
He was pretty joyful. He looked like a puppy as he led you towards the back of the counter.
"Cute"
You whispered as you followed. He looked at you but went right back to the cashier with a bright smile on his face. Then he began to show you how it works and yada yada.
. . . . . . . . 𓆩❤︎𓆪 . . . . . . . .
The shift was almost over. You should've been grateful, but you weren't. You felt this pain in your chest as you began to close off the shop. 'What's wrong with me?'
You've never felt this, it didn't feel right. Your face looked disgusted as you turned around back to Steven, who had just finished putting away the plushies that were on the floor.
His face looked gentle as he strolled over to you.
"Are y-you alright?"
Your face fell back into a calm smile as you spoke to the nervous boy.
"I'm quite alright, you?"
"Feelin like a ray of sunshine"
He gave you a warm smile. You both chuckled as you left the shop to finally close off your nights.
"I'll see you tomorrow?"
You said as you held the back of your neck with your hand. Steven put his gaze on you, it was as if he was staring at you lovingly. 'As If!'
"Can't wait.."
He darted his eyes towards the ground as you both walked out of the museum. You were going to say goodbye until you noticed something. Steven had been walking the same way as you towards your bus stop.
"Uh, Steven?"
His face jolted up to look at you once again
"O-oh, hello"
"Do you take this bus too?"
His face froze as he looked at the bus stop. It sure was his bus stop. His head turned towards you and then his eyes did.
"I guess it is"
His smile never faded as you both waited for the bus. You did eventually get on it, together. Steven was kind enough to pay for you. You reassured him that he didn't need to. He shrugged it off saying that he owes you.
"Owe me for what?"
"F-For being so kind"
His smile just somehow grew larger and brighter. He sure was optimistic. You ran a hand through your hair as you looked out the window for a second. It was almost time for you to get off.
Butterflies formed in your stomach. The butterflies seemed to be a good and bad feeling. They came from Steven's compliment but also came from the fact you were going to leave someone who made you happy.
Your stop became closer and you sighed.
Steven's face grew concerned. He didn't say anything but he did glance at you from time and time.
You got up from your seat and waved goodbye.
"Now I will see you tomorrow"
A loving smile formed on your face as you looked at the curly-haired boy one more time. He smiled back. You could hear your heart pound as he said his next words. It was the cutest thing he said all day.
"Laters Gators"
A/N: Wasn't too bad, yeah? I might post the second chapter. Idk, we shall see... Hope you enjoyed my awful writing <3
