Chapter IX

Peter drove around the parking lot as I looked out the window while the radio played. As we rounded the lot, I saw a car's rear lights turn red. They were about to pull out, so I pointed at the car. Peter quickly noticed too and pushed the acceleration, beginning to make a slight turn as the car drove opposite side off us. As Peter parked the car, I remembered my reasons for getting this job to begin with. I needed something that could help me save up for school and I also wanted to be independent and responsible in my own way. So I just sat there smiling as Peter patted my thigh making me turn to him.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I feel a lot better my leg doesn't hurt anymore and I'm glad that I'll be working with you and..."

He tilted his head to the side with a smirk as he relaxed back in his seat and started moving his eye brows up and down constantly. The smirk didn't leave his expression as he lifted his hand placing it on the wheel and pointed to something behind me, making me turn and jump in my seat. I just saw Bruce with his hands placed on the window and his head turned to one side as if he had gotten shot.

"AH!"

Peter started laughing as Bruce stood up relaxed laughing at me. I just looked at both of them from one to the other with a serious face as I felt my cheeks start to turn red once again.

"You two think this is funny?"

Peter continued laughing and just nodded as Bruce took a step back with a smile and I opened the car door to get out. Bruce held the door open as I got out of the car trying to get my bag, somehow I got it stuck on the dashboard. The more I yanked on it the more they both laughed until Bruce touched my shoulder and pulled me back. He got into the car and got it unstuck as Peter got out and locked the doors once Bruce was out. I smirked at both of them still completely red and walked away.

"Come on. Little lady, it was funny and your okay. Calm down and talk to me will you."

I heard his foot steps get closer to me as I then turned slightly to see him right on my face with a complimentary smile. I felt someone slam into me making me fall forward landing face first on his chest. This time my whole face was red and I could feel everyone's eyes on me as he stood me up and looked down at me. I saw him bending back slightly taking a hold of my purse just inches away from the concrete floor.

"It's okay, your safe."

I could still hear my brother laughing at me as I turned to see him holding on to the wall trying not to fall to the floor. I took a step back as Bruce let me go and turned to Peter with a glare then at Bruce just to see him smiling with his eyes closed. He looked so beauty….

"Beautiful."

He opened his eyes still smiling taking a step towards me just before I fell back, took my waist and pulled me in.

"Beautiful?"

I was so ashamed I just closed my eyes with my hands hanging on my sides and opened them wide at the sound of someone calling out my name. Bruce let me go as I stood up and took a chance to run away hoping that maybe, like that my heart would calm down and not explode. My friend Judith was right in front of me waving as I walked toward her. She was also laughing as I got closer to her, So I turned to see what she was looking at. Peter was walking towards us, him and Bruce making my heart flitter again.

"Soo, Who are they?"

"The red haired smart…"

"Ah! Peter?!"

"Yeah..."

"Aww, he's soo dreamy."

I looked at her as she just smiled and looked as if she had not seen a man in a million years.

"Yes, My brother, since when do you like him aren't you going out with Sam?"

"Girl, Sam Who?"

I rolled my eyes and just pulled her to walk forward as she continued to look back at them. She just started laughing as we got closer to the employ entrance and saw Linda standing by the door smiling and waving at us. I felt Judith lose her step and almost fall if it wasn't for me holding onto her she would have.

"Look in front of you!"

"Oh, come on he's soo cute."

"I look exactly like him, Judith."

"Soo your cute too..."

I stopped walking and just looked at her as she touched my cheek and looked deep into my eyes. I let go of her arm and just kept walking towards the entrance.

"Donna... You're so fun to mess with."

I rolled my eyes as she walked behind me then ended up on my right side as we entered. Linda unfolded her book then rolled it up into a roll and used it to hit Judith on the head. I just moved my head from one side to the other as they both went quite and I felt Judith take a hold of my arm.

"Donna, soo what was up with lover boy over there? That guy practically took you in his arms."

My whole face turned red again as I heard Linda giggle.

"She's right I saw it too he's really cute too but he does seem younger than you."

"I know but is it that bad to like him?"

"No."

They both said it at the same time as I looked at them stopping at the end of the line in front of our supervisor who was standing in front of us in the center, looking at his wrist clock tapping the floor with his boot. I felt Judith let go of my arm and walk around to the other side as I turned to her, she smiled turning her head making me look to the other side. I almost took a step to the side but then quickly noticed Bruce standing beside me with his arms crossed. Peter was beside him with his arms crossed. I looked at them as they both smiled at me. I just moved my head side to side then turned to continue to look at our supervisor who spoke about some line that wasn't running today.
