| Pizza Hut... Chapter 12... Warnings: Naked Duo. Wait, that's not a warning. That's an invitation. Don't own, don't sue, oh well, poor you. Pairings: None. Chapter Twelve. Friday Evening. Duo's View. I walked into work, it's just the beginning of the dinner rush. I throw my apron on, making sure the keys I borrowed from Quatre, were in there. The heavy set of keys weighing down my apron. I look around the store seeing who was here. Sally is already positioned at the cut table. Wufei, Muffinhead, and Ira on the make table, hurridly making pizzas. Zechs washing dishes already. Dorothy and Relena walking in the back door. "Hey, Zechsy! Whatcha doing later?" "Nothing, whatcha need?" "I need a ride home, so I can take a shower and get ready for my date tonight." "You going out with Hilde?" "Yeah, you can say that." "Yeah, I can take you home, you gotta way to your date?" "I'll take of that." I walked up front and clocked in. I scanned the dinning room. There were two tables already. One looked like Lady Une and Septem, our district manager. 'That conversation doesn't look friendly. I think I'll avoid them for right now.' Relena came up beside me. "Duo, tell Dorothy and Sally how cool that club we went to last weeks was. That was an awesome club. Tell them." "Why, you three going later?" "Yeah, if we can get Sally, here out early." Dorothy elbowed her. "Ow. Lets get through dinner first, the only way we're gonna be slow is if the phone lines are cut again. Remember how boring that was? Now Relena, you're closing. So get your stuff done as soon as possible." She gave direction. "Dorothy, you're my closing make table. Get those boys to help you. I have the most work to do, But I'll try my damnest to get out by one am." "Alright, you gonna help me Duo?" "I'll stay as long need to, I have a plans for later." I answered. I look up in time to see Lady Une hand her store keys to Septem. "What's going on over there?" "We don't know. They've been out there awhile" Sally shrugged. We watch Lady Une walk out of the store. "But that can't be good." "Eh, they'll let us know in time. But I have a table. I'm gonna have to leave. I'll see you in a bit." I leave seating my table. Time passed, and I never saw Heero. He either skipped out on work, or he's being elusive. I touch the computer screen. It comes to life with an array of colors. I press a finger to the screen. The dispatch button darkens. I release my finger. The screen flickers to the screen I needed. 'Hmmm..Noin is out, so is Quatre, Heero, and Trowa. There are also eight more deliveries to be taken. They'll be occupied for awhile. Well since it's close to my leaving time, I can avoid him a little longer. Make him wait for his surprise.' "Relena, you need me for anything else?" I ask. "Just roll this silverware. You can sit in A1." She hands me two buckets of freshly cleaned silverware. "Okay." I take the buckets from her, and make my way to the booth she pointed out. Sally sat down in the same booth as I. "I'm taking a break." she says, lying down. "Find out what happened this afternoon?" "Yeah, Lady Une was demoted." "For what?" "Lots of things." "Like?" "I'm not allowed to say." She says. She grabs across the table and takes a handful of silverware. She proceeds to help me in the tedious task. We finish quickly, and clean up the table. She returns to work as I clock out. "Zechsy, take me home, real quick?" I asked my friend. "Yeah, wait outside. I'll be right there." He says. I go outside. I sit on the hood of his car. Zechs walks outside and hops into the driver's side. He reaches over to unlock the door. I see Heero's truck pull in, just as I get in the car. Zechs takes off in the direction of my house. We arrive in record time. "Thanks Zechsy. Have fun at work." I tell him before he speeds back to the store. I hurry in the house. I throw on a CD, turning it up loud. I strip out of my uniform, I get into something a bit more comfortable. I have five hours before I need to be there. I go to my closet, digging everything out. I plie it onto the bed. "What to wear..what to wear? Like he's even gonna show. Still I have to wear something other than my damned uniform. Great...I'm nervous, I'm talking to myself. But if it'll calm me...." I dug through the pile. I find a pair of tight blue jeans. I try them on experimently. "Hmmm...would work better if I wasn't wearing boxers." I strip back out. I take off my boxers letting them fly across the room. I try the jeans on again. I smooth out the thighs. "There better." I leave them on and continue my search. I find a black oxford shirt. I try it on, finding it a tad snug, but still comfortable. I throw everything else back into the closet. I settle into the bed. I flip the television on, flipping through channels. "Four and a half hours before I have to be there." To Be Continued... Back to the Library? Ya know, these filler chapters are difficult to write. But it's the suspense! Stay tuned, same bat time, same bat channel. ~Duo |
