Dating Site
At work, she was on pizza duty. Yawn. A small child came up to the pizza counter and tore open every pre-made pizza he could find on the display, only to eat the cheese off the crust.
“Stupid kid, why must you be so embarrassing?!” Leanne grumbled.
This child answered back, “Stupid kid, why must you be so embarrassing?!”
Offended, Leanne just jaw-dropped at this kid’s response.
“Leanne, we have a complaint,” the manager stated as he approached the pizza counter. “A couple have complained about you talking rudely to their child.”
“Well, can you see what this kid is doing?!” Leanne pointed at the many torn open pre-made pizzas on the ground and counter. “We’ll run out of business if dimwits like this are allowed to roam free.”
“This talk is just a warning, Leanne,” the manager answered.
What the heck?! They can’t be serious, Leanne mused.
As soon as she arrived home after making several gourmet pizzas for five hours, she stumbled into a time of a nagging mother. Oh no, not again! Leanne walked through the open door to the kitchen, she desperately needed a glass of water after this shift. Making pizzas were stressful, there was always a customer every five minutes typically wanting a pizza made for them.
“When are you going to get a partner, honey? People your age are getting married, and you’re just stuck here being single!”
“But mother, I’m not interested in dating or marriage. I’m already stable, I earn enough money from work as it is,” Leanne stated. She took a sip of ice-cold water she had just poured into a glass from the tap. She loved water, especially after a five-hour pizza shift.
“Make your mother proud and just find someone, I’m sure you’ll have a lovely time with them. You cannot be alone all your life, Leanne. Where’s the fun in being alone?”
“Fine, whatever then,” Leanne groaned as she rolled her eyes in contempt. Why must her mother be this way?
“Dear darling, you’ll thank me when you’ve found someone. Love, children - those are the truest gifts of life,” her mother was certain.
Heading upstairs into her private bedroom, Leanne carefully closed the wooden door and sat at her computer desk... brooding.
“What if I end up with someone that’ll hurt me? Does mother care if I end up with someone that has plans of murdering me?! What will her response be when I end up with a, I don’t know, a female partner?” Leanne questioned with a huff at the end. “Let’s find a partner; I guess.”
Thus, Leanne first thought of a dating website, this website was purely for gay singles. Of course, she first thought this website wouldn’t be beneficial and that she wouldn’t gain anything from it. She thought it’d be best to find a partner at her workplace, but at the same time, she never wanted her workplace to become just like high school.
On this dating website, she took an interest in Evelyn, Anne and Tanitha. However, she was too shy to even send a message to either of them, thus she waited until a girl was interested in her first.
Bing! Upon checking her messages in the morning before heading to work, she found a rather striking message from a girl named Sage.
“Her name’s unique, I’ve never heard of someone called Sage before. Siren Sage - how quirky.”
She smiled when she read this message, Sage thought Leanne looked cute and promptly invited her over to Lily Shore Beach tonight. Lily Shore Beach resided just around the corner from her residence.
“If mother wants me to have a partner so bad, I’ll meet up with this girl.”
The fierce sun was out, it was summer time which meant longer days than winter, and the local beach was the perfect venue to meet people. She never knew, perhaps Leanne would be rewarded with a tan of a bronzed goddess. After all, she never wanted to waste such a hot summer.
