His cheap cologne invades my nostrils. His warm breath creeps down my neck. The room seems to daken; it's jut me and him.
His sweaty palm presses on my shoulder, he says, "Wow, you look good tonight!"
I look down and see my flour covere shorts and shirt. I mumble a thanks.
My heart is pounding. I wish he would leave. But no, he's the manager, he gets to make the schedule, and I always work closing, on the inside, alone when he's working. There is others working, of course, but they run in and out, delivering pizzas.
"What are you doing after work?" he inquires.
"Umm, I'm going out with some friends." I utter.
"Oh, thats to bad, I was hoping you would stay a bit, you know help me with some paperwork, and maybe afterward, we could get a bite to eat or something."
Before I say anything a car pulls up. A sigh of relief escapes my lips. It's one of the drivers.
The smell of cologne is replaced by the smell of pepperoni and cheese, my shoulder is moist from his hand, but he is no longe there. He's in the back office waiting for the driver to come in so that he can send him home.
I busy myself with sweeping. I start putting away the toppings, and then head to the back to put the dough in the freezer. My heart is racing, anxious for this day to end.
"OH!!" I utter.
He's standing right behind me, waiting for me. His eyes gleam in the light as he undresses me with his eyes.
As he slides closer, I gradually move back.
What should I do!
"You should stay." He blazes.
"No I really better go, my friends are waiting for me." I mutter.
I scurry past him. As I leave, his wet hand slaps my butt. I spin around and shriek "DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!!"
He looks at me stunned as i rush out the door.
I climb into my car and exhale. I feel dirty all over. I take a long hot shower, but after, I still feel his moist palm on my back, his breath on my neck, it just won't go away.
I call Mitch, he just started working with me, and he's ultra cute. We started dating about a week ago. i tell him everything that's going on.
"Wow," he exclaims, "I didn't know he was such a jerk."
"I know, what should I do?"
"I'll start working at closing with you, and when I get off I'll stick around and wait for youso he doesn't have a chance to bug you, alright?
