"Maybe you should see a doctor." Angie said when I told her about my dream the next morning.
"Oh yeah right! Yes doctor, I have these wild crazy sex dreams about guys in my life. Can you prescribe me something to take care of that?" I said, and she laughed.
"I meant like a phsychiatrist or something." She told me.
"I don't know. It's probably nothing." I told her. I put out my ciggerette and walked out of the smoking room. Spence and Smurf were just walking in.
"Hey guys." I said.
"Hey. Smurf is here to apply for a job." Spence said.
"Awesome. If you guys come back to the employee lounge with me I can give you an application to fill out." I said. I turned and the followed me to the back. I walked into the office and grabbed a pen and an application. I handed it to Smurf and he sat down on the couch to fill it out.
"Hey, can I talk to you for a second?" Spence asked.
"Yeah, sure." I said.
"In private." He said.
"OH! Uh, sure." I said, and walked into the office. He followed me and shut the door.
"Is everything okay?" I asked, feeling kind of nervous.
"Yeah." He said, and smiled. I felt a little awkward. I could figure out what he wanted to talk about. He looked a little nervous.
"Um, do you want to come over to my place tonight? I thought maybe we could watch a movie. I know we are going out Saturday, but I thought it would be fun." He said.
I thought of my dream, and an image of him sweaty and shirtless popped in my head. I shook the thought away quickly.
"Yeah. I would love to." I told him. He smiled.
"Great. Do you want me to pick you up here?" He asked.
"Yeah. 7. That way I can go home and change and come back." I said.
"Okay, great." He said, and turned to leave the office.
"Wait." I said before he opened the door. He stopped and looked at me. I walked over to him pushed him up against the door and started to kiss him. He was startled at first, but then he kissed me back. I could feel his lip piercing with my tounge and got a chill. He stopped and looked at me.
"Sorry. I don't know what got into me." I said, blushing.
"Don't be sorry. Wow." He said, and smiled. I smiled back, and he pulled me into him and kissed me again. He was strong, and so passionate when he kissed me. I bit his bottom lip and he hugged me tighter. He stopped kissing me.
"We'll save the rest for later." He said, and I laughed.
"Okay. 7. I can't wait." I told him, and smiled.
"Me either." He said, and kissed me again. Real quick this time. I giggled, and then we both walked out of the office.
"I finished the application." Smurf said when we walked out.
"Great. If you want I can interview you right now." I told him.
"Uh, sure." He said.
"I'm going to head back to the store. Smurf, be good." Spence said.
"Yeah." Smurf said, and rolled his eyes. Spence left, and I sat down on the couch with Smurf. I varified the infomation on the application then asked him the questions we asked everyone. I already knew I was going to hire him, but we had to go through the same process no matter what.
"Well, I think you just might have yourself a job." I told him.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yeah, of course. You're a good kid Smurf." I said, and he blushed.
"I'm going to give you some paper work you need to fill out." I said, and walked to the office. I came back out with the paperwork and handed it to him. I explained a few things, had him sign some stuff and then put them on file.
"How about you show up tomorrow morning at 8:00. The store opens at 9:00, but I want to train you a little." I told him.
"Yeah, sure." He said, and stood up.
"Awesome. I'll see you tomorrow." I told him.
"Okay." He said, and started to leave. He stopped and turned around.
"Hey. Thanks." He said.
"Of course. Like I said, you are a good kid. See you tomorrow." I told him. He nodded and left.
"Did you just hire a kid?" Angie asked, walking in the back.
"Yeah. He's fifteen. He'll be sixteen in two weeks." I said, remembering the date on his application.
"Doesn't he have school?" She asked.
"He's suspended for three weeks. When he's back in school I'll just give a few hours on the evening shift." I told her.
"Suspended?" She asked.
"He's a good kid. He needs something to keep him out of trouble. Marabeth and Donnie are both 17. They work here, so what is the big deal?" I asked her.
"Nothing. It's fine. I like Smurf." She said.
"Me too." I told her.
"Did you get to talk to Spence while he was here?" She asked, and raised her eyebrows.
"Oh, more then talk." I told her, and told her what happened in the office.


As I was walking to the Music Lounge, I saw Spence's car pull into the parking lot. I started to get excited. I walked over to his car, and he got out.
"Hey." He said, and hugged me.
"Hey." I siad.
"Ready?" He asked.
"Yeah, lets go." I said. He opened the door for me and I climbed in.
It only took about 20 minutes to get to his house. He lived in an old neighborhood where I was pretty sure he was probably related to everone on the block. The thought made me laugh.
He pulled into the drive way and we got out. He took my hand and walked me inside.
"My dad is playing poker at my Uncle Tom's down the street." He said. "And Smurf is at his girlfriends house, so we have the place to myself." He told me.
"Cool." I said. I was looking around. I could tell three guys lived there.
Spence walked me back to his room. It was kind of messy, but no worse then Oz's room. I sat down on his bed, and leaned up against the wall.
"What kind of movies do you like?" He asked, and sat down next to me on the bed. I turned and faced him and he smiled at me.
"I have a better idea." I said.
"What's that?" He asked. I stood up, pushed him back so he was laying down, and then climbed on top of him.
"You have good ideas." He said.
"Oh, just wait and see." I said, and leaned down and kissed him.
