Christy layed at the sofa too. "I'm ready for bed" she yawned and Jessie
got up and walked to her room. "Yea, me too! This day was fantastic, don't you
think?"
"It was alright. You and that Daniel boy seem to have hit off. Do you like him?"
Jessie thinks for a second and then answers "He is really cute! I like him but I
don't know if he likes me!" She closed her bedroom door and Christy said to
herself "I guess we will find out soon enough. I wonder if the boys are thinking
of us!" Jessie's voise came from the room "I'm sure he's thinking of you know!
He looks at the sealing, wondering what you do!!", "Be quiet will you? Probably
not. Good night!" She said and got to bed too.
Chapter 4
"Rise and shine Christy!" says Jessie and takes the blanket off her. She opens
her eyes and realizes where she is. "Huh? It's too early!" she replies and
closes her eyes again. "No,it's 10:00! If you want to find a job you have to get
up! Forgot we have to search for one? You suggested that!"
"Naa, I didn't!" said Christy with a laugh and gets up. Jessie goes to the
kitchen to make some breakfast while Christy tries to follow her. "I bought some
newspapers so we can look for jobs." She gives her a cup of coffe and a
newspaper. Christy begins to read slowly. Both of them were trying to find
something interesting when the doorbell rung. Christy looked at her friend, "Who
could that be?"
"I don't know! Can you open the door please?"
"What if it's Phil? I'm still in my pajamas" Christy wispers and get ready to
run into her room in case it is their neibour. "Oh! You look sexy that way" says
Jessie and goes to the door laughing. Just before she opens, she tells Christy
"Oh, and by the way....it IS Phil! I told him to come when I saw him this
morning. I went to buy the newspapers and I told him that we need to find a job
so he said that he can help!" Christy started feeling a little nervous as she
run inside her room. She would wear her best clothes and fix her hair as good as
she could. Jessie smiles and opens the door like nothing had happen. "Good
morning Philip!" Phil gets in and smiles at Jessie while he looks around to find
Christy. Just before Jessie closes the door a familiar voise made her tremple.
"Phil! Are you up here?" Philip turned around and got out of the door "Oh, hold
on Jess, it's Dan! I'm up here man!" Daniel goes up the stairs and looks at his
friend with a smile. "Hey Phil!" suddenly his eyes look at Jessie and he stops.
He blushes while saying hello. Jessie gave him her best smile and invited him
in. "Christy will be with us in a second." she said and invited them to sit
down. In a few minutes, Christy came into the room quietly. When Phil saw her,
he smiled and asked her if she had a good sleep. " oh yes, thank you!"
"Well, Jessie told me that you need to find jobs. Where I work, they need
another sales person. But it's only for one of you!" All this time he didn't
take his eyes away from Christy. "Where do you work?" she asked and Phil said
that he works in a guitar shop. In the mean time, Daniel asked Jessie if she
needed a job too. "Yes, unfortunately!Can you help me?" she said and Dan
answered slowly, "Yes, I think I can. I work at the record store down the road.
They need someone there as well. Are you intrested?" Jessie nodded. "Of course!
I'm very good at records. But I'll sell only Beatles albums!" They both laughed
but Daniel liked her taste. "That's a good choise! I love the Beatles!" Phil
smiles at him as he found something in common with the girl he liked. Then he
turned over to Christy "Then it's seatled! You'll come tomorrow with me and I'll
introduce you to my boss. "
"Thanks!" said Christy and Phil wincked at her "Everything for my new friend!
Hey girls, do you have any plans for today?" the girls said no so Phil had a
great idea, "Why don't we do something together?"
"That will be great! We can go out walking and see where the day takes us!" said
Daniel and winked at Jessie.
"Ok! You can show us the city!" said Christy to Phil and he got up quickly. "Can
I?" he says as he takes Christy's hand. "I'll show you every beautiful place in
Dublin!" she felt her heart flutters and her face turned red. At the same time,
Daniel looked at Jessie, wondering if he should take her hand too. "Well, do
it!" Phil wispers to Dan. He grins at his friend for the courage he gave him,
and as he takes her hand she turns around and smiles at him. "What\s this
holding hands thing? Is it common to hold hands here?" said Christy, trying to
break the silence. Phil smiled and said "No, only when you like someone. But if
you want me not to hold your hand..." Christy blushes as ahe realised that she
said something stupid. "No, no I want you to! But...you like me?"
"Of course! Who wouldn't!"
"This is very strange for me!" she said and Phil laughed putting his arm around
her shoulder.
Daniel grins shyly at Jessie while she tried to take him away with her, to let
Philip speak. "Where are we going?" Daniel asked and Jessie smiled and winked at
him "I don't know. We just have to leave those two alone". "Ohhh!" he finaly
understood and grined.
"I always wanted to go to America. What made you come here? Difficulties?"
"We just desided to come" said Christy avoiding talking about the reason that
made them leave. As they pass a beautiful cafe, Philip points at it and suggests
they should go there. Christy follows him not paying attention to Dan and
Jessie. A few miles away, the other couple was walking together. "So, where
would you like to go?"
Daniel said. Jessie smiled and told him whatever he wants. "Anything would be
great!" he said and smiled back. They didn't say anything else, but found a
beautiful spot in the part to sit.
Chapter 5
The other morning, Jess had to wake up Christy again, but this time with more
exitment. "Hey, wake up! I want you to tell me about your date!" The girl woke
up slowly and looked at her friend. "huh? What date?"
"Yesterday evening! When we left you alone! What happened?"
"We just went at a cafe!...what did you and Daniel do? Have you kissed him yet?"
Jessie's face turned red "Oh, not yet! I don't know if he likes me that much!"
"I think he does. Phil hasn't kiss me either. We haven't even hugged!" Christy
laughed at her words.
"Don't worry! You have to get ready for work. You'll get to see him every day
from now on!" When Christy heard about work, got very nervous. She got up
quickly and run to the bathroom. "Don't be nervous! Come back to eat some
breakfast!" Jessie said while she was making some coffe. She put peanut butter
on a slice of bread and gave it to her when she came back. Christy took it
without talking. After 15 minutes, both of them were ready. "Go on! You're
late!" said Jessie and her friend left the house quickly.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
"Oh, good morning Christy!You are just in time to start working!" Christy smiled
but kept close to Phil, wondering what are they doing at this job. After a
minute, a customer came in. Phil smiled and turned at her. "Ok, you go and ask
him how can you help and he'll tell you what he wants. I'll be here to help you!
Go ahaid!" Christy listened to him and walked to the custormer. "Hello, I'd like
to buy a classic guitar but I don't know anything about them!" She smiled at the
man and turned to Philip with a 'help me' look. Phil pointed at the department
with the classic guitars. "Can you handle it?" he wispered and Christy said that
although she doesn't know anything about guitars, she'll try. "Don't worry!
You'll learn all about them in a while!" said and winked at her. After a couple
of exahsting minutes for Christy, the customer leaves the store. "You were
great!!" shouted Phil. "I didn't know what he was talking about, nor did I know
what I was talking about!" she laughed but Philip remind her that she sold a
guitar. "That's what counts my friend!" he said and she agreed.
Meanwhile, Jessie was getting ready to go to work when someone knocked at the
door. "Oh Christy what have you forgot this time?" she said opening the door but
then turned all red realising that it wasn't Christy but Daniel!
"Hi! I just came to walk you to work!"
"Oh, that's very sweet of you! I'll get my coat."
she said and Daniel waited for her. When they arrived to the store, Dan started
showing her around. "So, when will I start doing some real work? I don't see any
customers!"
"Oh, they'll come! Enjoy the quiet while you can!" said Daniel and laughed.
Before Jessie answers, a customer came in. "Your first customer just walked in!"
he wispered to Jessie and with a smile in her face, she walk to him with
confidence. "Good morning sir, how can I help you?"
"Hi, I would like to know if you have any Wings albums?"
"Oh yes, of course! Very good taste! You like Wings?"
"Yes, very much!"
"Great! I'll show you everything we have!" Daniel was watching the whole
conversation and smiled at his thoughts. After a long conversation about the
Wings and Paul McCartney, the customer leaves with 2 Wings albums. "Good job!"
said Dan and Jessie smiled "Thanks but I don't know what to do if someone asks
for an ACDC album! Probably punch him!" she said and both laughed.
