Chapter 41



Jessica's POV:


"I'm home!" I yelled. 


Ross came down the stairs with a wide smile and embraced me in a hug, kissing my forehead. I chuckled, "I could get used to this." 


"Same here, waiting for my beautiful girlfriend to come home from work while I cook and fail then decide to order pizza." 


I laughed and looked at the 2 boxes of pizza sitting on the kitchen table. 


We were soon engulfed in The Flash which I'm totally obsessed with. Soon enough Ross understood the reason for my obsession. 


He laughed, "There's a joke every 5 minutes." Ross then paused the show and looked at me. 


"Everything okay?" I stared at him, taking a bite of my pizza. "I think I should get a job." he spoke. 


My eyes widened and I forced myself to chew quickly so I could speak. Is it just me or do I always seem to chew slower when I want to speak?


"Why?" I asked when I finally finished chewing.


He shrugged, "Riker is in New York starting off college. Rydel has her little dance school. Ellington helps Rydel. Rocky is Rocky and Ryland has his career as a DJ. I have nothing, I'm sitting at home doing nothing while I pathetically wait for my girlfriend to come back from her job and when summer is over she's going back to college."


I frowned, "You don't have nothing. Aren't you doing those 2 movies? Um..Status Update and My Friend Dahmer." 


He sighed, "Filming isn't starting anytime soon and R5 is over. I have to make some kind of money to help with bills and stuff." 


I nodded slowly, "It's just that you've never actually worked a..regular job."


His eyebrows furrowed, "What's that suppose to mean." I shrugged, "Exactly what I said. You've only ever had R5 and Disney Ross, you had the big life that every..normal child dreams of."


He looked down, "I can do it, I have to. If I want us to have a life together I need to have a reasonable job." 


I gave a small smile, "Okay. If you really wanna do this then I support you. Where do you think of working?"


He scratched the back of his head, "I have no idea." 


I rolled my eyes, "I'll ask my boss if he's looking for any more help in the cafe." He beamed and kissed my cheek, "This is why I love you."


I stared at him, his hazel eyes sparkling, I gave a small smile.I really am very lucky to have him in my life even though I think he still thinks about his love for Sofia. 


"I love you too, Shor."


~Next Day~


"Sure your boyfriend can work here. I'm always looking for some help." Mitch grinned. 


"Thank you sir. I won't let you down. When can I start?" Ross looked rather excited. Mitch chuckled, "You can call me Mitch and you can start today, there's an apron in the back, follow me."


Ross went off with Mitch and I went to work. 


"So you're bringing your boyfriend to work with you. What you love birds just can't wait to see each other after that you have to see each other 24/7?" Samantha scoffed. 


I rolled my eyes, "Not in the mood Sam." 


She folded her arms, "It was a simple question Willows. I didn't ask you what's the size of the earth multiplied by the size of the sun and the moon." 


My eyebrows furrowed as I put on some coffee, "Getting kind of technical aren't we. I didn't know you had it in you." 


She tutted, carrying an order. 


I smirked, knowing I won our daily battle. "I work here now." Ross came from the back with a bright smile. 


"You look way to happy." I chuckled as I got the coffee orders ready. 


"I'm excited to work my first 'normal' job as you would put it." "Okay well why don't you work the cash register for a while." 


He nodded. 


~15 minutes later~


"I'm so sorry." "I literally just bought this skirt. Are all the workers here this clumsy!" I ran over to Ross and the lady he spilled coffee and cake on. 


Don't ask me how he did that. 


"I apologize, he's new." The lady eyed me, "New or not, who the hell is this clumsy?" "Our new worker." I tutted. 


She rolled her eyes and picked up her stuff, leaving the store. 


Ross gave a nervous laugh as he looked at me, "Well at least she paid." It was then she came back, snatching the money Ross proudly held in his hand. 


Ross frowned and I folded my arms with a sigh. 


~At Home~


"Today was eventful." Ross said as he threw himself on the couch.


I nodded, "Yup, you got yourself fired within a matter of minutes. Sam is gonna torment me so much tomorrow." 


He rolled his eyes, "Can we focus on the fact that I no longer have a job. I came back home the same way I left it." 


I sat on the chair beside the couch, "You're obviously not cut out to do anything that deals with food and that's not bad. You're meant for something else." 


He lazily looked up at me, "And what's that." 


"Music." I beamed. 


He sighed and took his eyes off of me. 


"Hey, you can go to literally any club or places that need some form of entertainment and you can sing and play your guitar. You'd be a hit. You already have performance experience."


He sat up, "You're right. I should stick with what I know. I'll go looking for some places now." He got up, ready to leave. 


I frowned, "Right now? We just got home." 


He gave a small smile, "Order some Chinese, I'll be back before 7, I promise." he swiftly kissed me and was out of the door.


~Next Week~


"This is a really nice place you're working in." I looked around the club in awe. 


"Yup. They didn't even have entertainment before but after they heard me sing they told me to just come so I have a permanent spot. It's mainly at night but I have some morning performances too."


"I'm so proud of you." I embraced him in a hug. 


"I wouldn't have done this without you. Oh I have to go babe." he kissed my forehead and my heart skipped a beat at the simple use of the pet name. 


I watched as he performed 'Hopelessly Devoted To You' from Grease. He was so into it, I could tell he was putting in his all like he does with every performance. 


The emotion in ever word he sang gave me goosebumps and that smile he shot at me during the song made me blush. But some part of me just felt..like he wasn't singing that song to me.
