Time For A Change – Chapter 2

The alarm clock went off as Stacey rolled over and looked at the time.

“6:30 grrrr….” She growled

Stacey slapped the alarm clock off the nightstand and rubbed her eyes. She pulled her covers back off her body revealing a white tee shirt and matching white cotton panties. She sat up in her bed and stretched and yawned. Her feet hit the carpet as she stood up still stretching; she walked over to her closet and pulled out a pair of faded jeans and a dark blue polo shirt that had an emblem embroidered on the breast of it.

“Come on Stace you can’t be late on your first day” She muttered to herself

She laid her clothes on her bed as she turned and walked to her chest of drawers and opened the top drawer and pulled out a pair of socks, a bra, and some panties. She tossed them on the bed and walked to the bathroom that connected to her bed room and the living room. Stacey turned on the shower and checked the temperature with the back of her hand.

“Perfect….every time.” she said with a smile

Stacey stripped off her sleep clothes as she gazed at herself in the mirror, she had 3 tattoo’s on her back one on each shoulder blade and one tracing down the middle of her back from top to bottom. All of Celtic designs she had chosen that given meaning to her life. She pulled back the shower curtain and stepped inside the shower; she quickly wetted her hair as she reached for the shampoo and popped the cap open on the bottle. She quickly washed and conditioned her hair and she followed with a shave to her legs and arm pits. Stacey grabbed her favorite body wash from the shower rack and lathered up the wash cloth, it was a soft flower scent that covered the wash cloth and would soon cover her body.

She quickly shut off the shower and reached for her towel to dry herself off with.

“Shit! I forgot the towel on the chair.” She remarked

Stacey started to the bedroom and her reflection in the mirror caught her eye she paused and stood looking at herself in the mirror. She grinned softly as her hand slowly made its way to her medium sized breast as she sighed while massaging them. She moaned softly as she felt her heart beat quicken slightly.

“noooo I can’t be late.” She exclaimed as she stopped touching her breast

“But it’s been so long.” She whined as she argued with herself.

“Work then play damn it!” She scolded herself.

She walked into her bedroom as she grabbed for her towel and proceeded to dry herself off with it. She grabbed her panties, socks, and bra and put them on. She then went back to the bathroom and plugged in her hair dryer and brushed her hair out. Once her hair was dry she went back into her bed room and completed the dressing process of her morning. She grabbed her purse and walked through the bathroom and stopping to dab on some lip-gloss as she made her way out the door.

Stacey climbed into her Minicooper, inserted the key into the ignition switch, and started the engine. She plugged her Zune into the music port, pushed the clutch in, and put the car into reverse. She shifted into first and made her way to the main road that runs through downtown Des Moines. Passing several shops and plazas Stacey pulled into a parking lot and parked her car in the employees parking section.

“First day and I’m on time.” She exclaimed checking her watch.

Stacey grabbed her bag, got out of her car, and made her way to the front door of the music instrument store. She knocked on the door and a man approached the door and unlocked it for her.

“You must be Stacey?” the store manager smiled

“Yes sir that would be me.” She smiled back at him

“I’m Tony the store manager.” The man smiled as he spoke

The man continued talking as he motioned for Stacey to follow him to the back of the store. He introduced her to the other employees as they passed by them on their way to the employee lounge area.

“This will be your locker” he motioned at the locker with the door ajar.

“I have some paperwork for you to sign and look over” he continued

He continued talking once again as Stacey filled out and signed the various papers he had laid out for her on the break room table. Once Stacey finished filling out and signing papers the man extended his hand as to shake hers.

“Welcome aboard Assistant Manager Stacey.” He said with a smile

“Thank you Manager Tony.” She giggled.

As the day, continued Tony showed Stacey around the show room floor explaining to her the policies and the procedures of how the store operates. It was after lunch when while Stacey was helping customers find some guitar strings that HE walked into the store. He was short and had long brownish black hair, his face sported a few piercings and his attire was normal jeans and a black tee shirt with some freakish symbols on it. The man walked over to Tony and they started talking as if they knew each other. My attention was then focused back to the customers beside me and that is when I hear a loud CRASH!

“What the ….” Stacey bit her tongue

She excused herself from the customers beside her and walked over to the man pounding away on the drum display across the store. She cleared her throat as she approached the man behind the drums. It was someone that looked a little familiar to her.

“Excuse me sir,” she said softly

“Excuse me sir” she spoke a little louder

The man proceeded to play his heart out; Stacey was thinking to herself “damn he’s good”. Stacey then tapped the man on the shoulder he stopped playing and whipped around to face her.

“Whoa …” the man said

“Sorry to startle you, but if you’re going to put on a show can you at least notify a sales person” Stacey said with a smile as she blushed.

At that moment, Tony approached the two of them smiling and started to speak.

“Stacey is this bum giving you trouble?” he said with a smile.

“No sir,” Stacey giggled

“Stacey this is Joey, Joey this is my new Assistant Manager Stacey.” Tony smiled as he introduced them.

Joey extended his hand as did Stacey and they shook hands. Tony, Joey and Stacey continued to talk as the end of the day wore on.

“Well time to close shop.” Tony smiled

“It was nice to have met you Joey” Stacey blushed a little as she smiled.

“The pleasure was mine.” He smirked as he turned and waved at Tony as he walked out the door.

Stacey locked the front doors to the store as she watched him get into his car. She smiled again as she turned and ran into Tony whom was standing behind her.

“You know he’s a nice guy and he’s single.” Tony informed her.
