Chapter 6
"I have a very important job for you to do," Isaac said.
"What's that?" Jamal said.
"Well, since you didn't request off tonight to come to the company picnic, I'm going to give you the keys and I'm trusting you to lock up tonight and make sure the girls get their breaks on time ok?" Isaac said.
"Aight dawg," Jamal said.
Isaac turned around and dropped the bucket of chicken he had in his hand. There at the end of the line was Taylor waving at him, wearing a black, one-piece, spandex unitard with a green and red scarf wrapped around his neck, and black sandals. "Hi Isaac," he said.
Isaac could feel his face turning red. It was just too much for him. Taylor had gone too far. Isaac motioned for Taylor to come over to him. Taylor approached the counter and Isaac yanked him by the scarf. "What the hell are you doing here dressed like that?" Isaac said angrily.
"Duh, to get wedges," Taylor said.
Isaac turned around, grabbed a large bag, filled it to the top with wedges and shoved it into Taylor. "Get out of here," Isaac growled.
"You don't have to be so nasty," Taylor said.
Once Taylor was gone, Isaac splashed some water on his face in the bathroom, seeing the outline of Taylor's penis and sac was the most disgusting thing he had ever seen. He looked at his reflection one last time and fixed his tie. "Jamal I'm leaving with Jeffrey, Ned and Tacquito. You're the boss now," he said as he headed to his car where he found Jeffrey, Ned and Tacquito waiting for him.
"Yo, so your bro is gone. I got da keys. Why don't chu brings by some ladies tonight and I'll bring some trees, if you know what I mean?" Jamal said.
"Aight cool," Zac said.
"Aight. Who the hell are you?" Tabitha said.
"You guys want to smoke tonight, wit me and Mal?" Zac asked.
"Ok," Monica said.
"No, drugs are for losers," Tabitha said.
"You're such a baby," Monica said.
Tabitha's face turned red. "Stop it," she cried.
"Monica, Tabitha doesn't have to smoke if she doesn’t want to. You can just come along and talk with us," Zac said with a mischievous smile.
He had an idea.
Isaac swerved a little towards the shoulder and the guy behind him beeped. "Mr. Isaac you're not a very safe driver," Jeffrey said.
"So did you?" Jeffrey asked.
"That's private Jeffrey. I never kiss and tell," Isaac said.
"I got pussy last night," Ned said.
Isaac could feel the chunks rising in his throat. "Of course these days it's hard with no teeth, but I can still gum it," Ned said.
"I love to eat pussy," Jeffrey said.
Isaac turned the radio louder, to tune out the talk in the back seat. Tacquito who was to his right, turned the radio to the Latin channel and began to dance in his seat. Isaac turned it back to the rock station and Tacquito turned to face him. "No comprendhe," he said.
Isaac huffed and sped up. The sooner he got there the sooner he would be able to get it over with and get home.
"Do you want to go on a picnic with me?" he asked.
"Sure," she said as she smiled at him.
Taylor was strange, but he had a way about him. Taylor transferred both the blanket and the bag of wedges under his right arm and took Valerie's hand with his left hand. "Let's skip," Taylor said.
"Okay," she said as they began to skip down the street.
"You want me to clean bathroom," Tacquito said.
"NO," Isaac grumbled.
This is going to be a long day. He trudged up to the park and with his crew and began to mingle with the guests. "Ah yes MR. Hanson you're just in time for the sac race," Mr. White their district manager said.
"Oh no. I gave up racing," Isaac said.
He waited for a response. His attempt to be humorous had fallen short. "No MR. Hanson, please I insist," Mr. White pressed.
"Come on I'll be your partner," Ned said enthusiastically as he pulled Isaac's hand up to the line.
Isaac had barely gotten into the potato sack, when he heard a gun shot and the contestants around him had taken off. Isaac took a jump forward and fell flat on his face. "Come on MR. Isaac," he could hear Tacquito cheer from the sidelines.
Isaac got up and hopped about six yards when he fell into another contestant and he fell as well. Five minutes later Isaac got to the end passed his sack off to Ned who was an expert sac racer, but it just wasn’t good enough. Isaac had fallen so far behind, that they finished last.
"What?" she asked.
Her face was turning red. "When you blew Isaac were you delicate like that?" he asked again.
"Umm, I don't really remember," Valerie said.
She was burning hott.
He was about to speak when his cell Phone rang. "Excuse me one moment," Isaac said as he stepped away from the podium.
He looked at the caller I.D. it was Valerie. "Hello," Isaac said into his cell phone.
"You know what. You are such a goddamm bastard," she yelled so loudly Isaac was taken aback.
He had no choice but to hold the phone away from his ear, and this allowed everyone to hear Valerie clear as day. "How dare you tell Taylor what we did when we were younger? I gave you a blow job. You were the first guy and that was personal," she yelled.
"Valerie keep your voice down," Isaac said He could see all of the dirty looks he was getting from the crowd.
"I will not keep my voice down. You are a scum bag and I hope you die." She said and then there was silence.
She had hung up. Isaac furrowed his brow and approached the podium for the second time. "Sorry about that," he said.
He cleared his throat once more. "So it's good to be here. I was riding down here with my friends and the whole time I just kept thinking I wonder if there is going to be chicken there," he said.
He looked around waiting for a laugh or smile, but all he received was a stone faced stares from the crowd. "Wow rough crowd eh, moving on. I'd like to say that this has been a wonderful opportunity for me. It has helped me pay for college, develop skills, and meet some wonderful people. At store 132, we care and try to give our customers A plus service, when they want chicken we give them chicken, when they want biscuits, we give them biscuits, and our workers always aim to please by greeting each customer with a smile when they come into KFC. And my dad has said that the responsibility has made me a mature, responsible young man and he's never been more proud. So from my store to yours, we’re the chicken capitol USA, Thank you," Isaac said.
"Thank you Mr. Hanson," MS. West the president of KFC said.
"It's now time for our annual water balloon toss over by the refreshment stand," she said.
She looked kind of grossed out. "What's your name sexy?" he asked.
"Tabitha," she said.
"I'm Jamal," he said as he kissed her hand, "Come on," Jamal said as he lead the three of them behind the counter.
"I got two bags," he said. "That's a lot of weed," Zac said.
"Fuck yeah. Let's get to smoking," Jamal said.
"Mr. Hanson I'd like you and your team members to leave and I'd like to you know that you are now under investigation for sexual harassment," she said.
"SEXUAL HARRASSMENT. WHAT? I would never have sex with you," Isaac said.
MS. West only looked angrier. "I mean I would, but you're the boss it'd be inappropriate," Isaac said.
"Mr. Isaac got pussy last night too," Jeffrey chimed in.
"Jeffrey shut the hell up," Isaac said angrily.
He was enraged. "I'm now adding discrimination to your case as well," she said.
"WHAT? WHY?" he asked.
"Because he has an obvious disability and you're mistreating him," she said.
"THIS IS AN OUTRAGE," he huffed as he headed off to the car.
"Hold on," she said as she quickly dialed Isaac's number.
"No this is her stupid fault. The nerve. I most certainly do not mistreat my employees," Isaac grumbled.
A moment later, his cell rang. "Hello," he said sounding really annoyed.
"Hi Isaac," Monica said.
"Hey baby I'm sorry. I've just had the worst day of my life," Isaac said.
"Isaac I want to break up," Monica said.
"What?" Isaac asked.
"I'm sorry. I just think we make better friends," Monica said.
"Oh ok," Isaac said.
"I'm really sorry, but I have to go bye," Monica said.
"Ok we can make out now," Monica said to Zac.
Tabitha and Jamal were already going at it.
Isaac slammed his cell phone down and the battery flew out. "Your battery flew out of your phone," Ned said.
"I know that. Just leave it," Isaac grumbled.
He was trying not to cry in front of his employees.
"Shit me too," Monica said.
"Yeah I have to close up damm," Jamal said.
"I'll walk the girls home. See you tomorrow," Zac said.
"Aight peace," Jamal said as he locked the door behind them.
"You guys walk I gotta go," Tabitha said.
"Hey it's not safe," Zac said.
"No really I'll be fine. I want to be alone," Tabitha said.
"I can't let a lady walk by herself," Zac said.
"Please this is the safest town in America, I'll be fine," Tabitha said.
"It's against my better judgment, but ok," Zac said.
The car refused to start. Isaac got out of the car and began to kick it. "You stupid piece of shit," Isaac yelled.
He kicked it again. "Isaac is that you?" Tabitha asked as she ran towards the yelling.
"Huh," he said as he spun around.
He looked at her and at that moment she was a woman. She had on a tight baby tee and blue denim capris with white flip flops. Her hair was in a ponytail and her toes were painted red. "Tabitha?" he asked.
Suddenly, he remembered her name. "Hi," she said quietly.
"What are you doing out here by yourself at night? It's not safe," Isaac said.
"I was with Zac and Monica, but I just needed to be alone to think and stuff, it was against Zac's better judgement, but he finally let me go," she said.
"What are you doing screaming your head off this late at night?" she asked.
"Well, let's just say I had a really bad day and my car died," he said.
"That sucks," she said.
Something about Tabitha comforted him. Maybe it was her warm smile or maybe it's the fact that she has the largest breasts that he has ever seen on a sixteen year old girl, or any girl for that matter. "What about you? What are you bummed about?" Isaac asked while taking a quick glance at her breasts.
"Well, I did something very out of character for me tonight and I liked it, and that bothers me, but what really hurts me is that there is this guy that I'm in love with and he doesn't even know I'm alive," Tabitha said.
Her heart was racing. It was the first time Isaac had ever really looked at her and she loved every second of it. "How can that be? They are very noticeable, I mean you are very noticeable," Isaac said.
His face reddened. He was a little embarrassed. Tabitha burst with desire. She wanted to say so many things, but she thought it’d be best to keep quiet. "So who is it?" Isaac asked.
"What?" she asked.
"Who's this guy you have the hots for?" Isaac asked.
"Oh, just some guy. It doesn’t matter," Tabitha said.
"Yes it does. He might be missing out on a really great girl," Isaac said. "I'll give you one hint. It's somebody very close to Taylor, I have to go though. Goodnight," Tabitha said as she ran off leaving a baffled Isaac.
