That "Love" Girl
Chapter Five
By Rachel Rene
Jake left Kari's side and went to talk to some other
workers, and someone else sat next to her at the bar.
"Hey Kari," the man had dirty blonde hair and light
blue eyes.
She was startled by his voice, and looked over to
him. "Oh...hi...um...Wayne?"
He smiled, showing pearly whites, "Yeah. So
how was your first day?" He rested his arm over the counter and leaned
a little closer to her.
"Great, I still can't believe I got so many tips."
Wayne glanced down for a quick moment then replied,
"With a body like that, I don't see why not." Kari could feel herself
turn red, and she looked away, embarrassed.
She finally looked back at him, "How long have you
been workin' here?"
"Since it opened last month. I was one of
the first employees, Jake's a good friend of mine."
Kari nodded showing she understood, and looked past
him at a girl known as "Freaky Vicki" behind the counter, wiping it down.
She stared at Kari,
giving her an evil look.
Karisma motioned with her head towards Vicki, "How
come they call her 'Freaky Vicki'?" Wayne looked over his shoulder
at Vicki, and she quickly turned her head to look at the cloth wiping the
counter.
"Oh...her. She has an attitude, and sometimes
flips out and goes freaky on ya."
He turned back around and Vicki kept her head down, but eyed Kari,
giving her a warning glance.
"She your girl?" Kari asked.
Giving out a stifled smirk, Wayne answered, "No
way. She acts like it though... She's liked me since she started
working here two weeks ago and is convinced that I like her back, no matter
how many times I tell her I don't. You better watch your back, she
gets offensive to anyone who so much as
looks at me."
"I'll keep that in mind." Kari smiled, and Wayne
smiled back at her.
After a few more songs, the Monkees hopped off the
bandstand as various cheers were heard from the staff all over the discotheque.
Peter noticed a girl Kari knew as Terri, wearing lots of beads and eating
a salad, and he walked over to her. Mike stayed with his beloved
twelve-string and fiddled around with some tunes, as Micky followed a waitress
holding two plates, one with an almost whole hamburger on it (what he was
really after was the food, not the girl). Davy walked over to Kari
and Wayne.
"So, wha'd ya think of our pehformance?" Davy asked as
he rested his side on the counter top, on the other side of Kari.
She glanced over her shoulders. "Oh, hi, Davy.
It was great...and guess what? Ya got the job!"
"Really?! Thanks Kari, ya really 'elped us
out...we needed 'at money for the rent."
Kari swirled around on the seat and put her hand
over Davy's, "No prob. babe! I was glad ta help out, after all, you
guys helped me unpack!" She
winked at him and turned back around.
Davy stayed for a second, then sighed and left to
go look for some girl so he could add another phone number to his collection.
