they are all smalls. "Wait, Holly, these are all small. I need medium. These will be too tight, my girls will be on display." I giggle and start to hand them back to her.
"KC believes that the more we look like Hooters girls, the more customers he will have." She rolls her eyes. “You should have seen the fight I had with him when he tried to make the uniform exactly like theirs. Be happy that it's just a tight t-shirt."
I really hope I get along with my new boss once I meet him. I said my goodbyes to everyone and told Holly I would see her at 11 AM.
A FTER I get home, I sit out back with a glass of wine and look up at the stars. It is a beautiful clear night. The longer I sit here, the more I think about Kyle. I miss him. I almost wish he was still around. I don't know if it would have changed anything I felt back then, but I should have confronted him. I should have grabbed that bitch by the hair and dragged her out of his bed. She had been trying for years to break us up. I just never expected it to work.
Even if I could forgive Kyle, he doesn't want me. He found out three years ago where I was. My grandma said that we belonged together and she wasn’t keeping it from him any longer. But, I never heard from him. I waited two years after she told me he knew where I was, and nothing. I gave up and started seeing Daniel.
So many good memories had been made in this back yard. We used to sit together for hours planning our future. The first time he kissed me was out here. I have to stop thinking about him like this. It’s time to face the fact that I am never going to see Kyle Connor again. It’s time to move on; to stop thinking about the past and a future that would never be. I went inside, cleaned up the kitchen, showered, and went to bed hoping I wouldn’t dream about him, too.
T HREE WEEKS flew by and I found that I really enjoyed working at KC's. Holly and I became quick friends. She was the type of person that called it like she saw it. No sugar coating and definitely no filter. I like that about her, you don't have to wonder where she stands. I am a little softer spoken, so it is nice to have someone like her around; she tends to give me a little more self-confidence. We have had a few girls’ nights with chick flicks, pizza, and lots of wine. It really is great to have a girlfriend to hang out with. I haven't had one since high school and never realized how much I missed it until now. Holly thinks I need to get back on the horse, so to speak, and find a man even if it is just casual. Sometimes I think that would be perfect for me, but I’m not sure I would be able to have that kind of relationship. There is a first time for everything, though, right?
It's Saturday night and apparently KC will be back. I am a little nervous to meet my boss for the first time. Though I’m not sure why, it has really been bothering me the last few days. Something about the whole atmosphere of the bar is so familiar, but not. Maybe it's just the fact that I used to work here when I was younger. I dressed a little differently than normal tonight and didn't even realize I was doing it at first. I usually wear my hair up, very little make-up, and jeans. Today, I took extra care in doing my hair and left it down and straightened my natural waves. I spent too long applying my make-up, giving my brown eyes a smoky look and my lips a light gloss. I put on my too-tight, purple KC's t-shirt with a pair of jean, cut-off shorts. They weren’t obscene, but not something I would normally wear. My favorite pair of black cowboy boots topped off my outfit. I used to always wear those boots for Kyle. They were his favorite pair. I shook my head at the thought and finished getting ready. I looked pretty good; I was impressed with my reflection in the mirror. Hopefully I looked good enough that my new boss wouldn't fire me.
I walk into the bar and I swear it feels like everyone is staring at me. This is why I don't dress like
