Crowded House
I spent yesterday afternoon walking around with my CV. I got a phone-call already this morning. Going there later today. It’s at a shop that sells kinda tacky stuff. I hope I get it.
When I got home, there were people everywhere. Jemma was there too. She got really loud when I walked in. Maggie said that Adrian had called her twice asking about me, and that he wanted my number, but that she didn’t know if I wanted her to give it to him. He called again just then, and said he would come over. I was hungry and we didn’t have any food at home, so we decided it was time to go get some. Me and Adrian walked to the shop together. I didn’t really know what to say, but he just asked me stuff, like where I lived before. Then he asked if I wanted to have lunch together and get groceries after.
He paid for lunch and for my groceries. When we got home, it was just Jemma and Maggie and Stephanie left. So we sat in the lounge, and Adrian kept touching me, which made me feel a bit like a pet, but cos he’d paid for everything, I didn’t want to be rude. Then it was time to go to work and Adrian said he would walk me, but I said no, because Jemma and Maggie were working too.
Then, as we were walking, Jemma asked me if me and Adrian are dating now, and I said I don’t think so. Maggie told me later, when Jemma was setting up the back-bar, that Jemma has fancied Adrian for ages, and that they hooked up once last year. I really don’t think Jemma likes me. But, no-one likes Jemma so I don’t think I care.
Adrian came to the club as soon as we opened. And he hung around by my bar the whole night. Every time I talked to someone he was looking at me, it was a bit weird. After work, when I got outside, he was waiting with a friend. “I thought I’d walk you home” which I guess is nice, but I was really tired and just wanted to sleep. Maggie said she was going to her boyfriends and gave me her key, so Adrian came home with me. And he slept over, but we just cuddled tonight. It was nice, until he started saying how much he likes me, which I think is a strange thing to say when he doesn’t know me at all.
So, I asked him about Jemma and he said she’d attacked him once when he was really drunk and that he thought she was ugly, and talked about her bad skin. Sometimes, mostly when she is not around, I feel a bit sorry for her, but then she is so nasty and then I don’t anymore.
Time to go get ready for my interview. I’m scared the security guard is gonna ask me for my card, and kick me out.
