Chapter Eleven

Kyle sighed as he sank into one of the molded plastic chairs in the cafeteria. He leaned his dustpan and retractable claw against the wall next to the table, and thought briefly about getting up to buy something to eat on the lunch line, but quickly decided it wasn’t worth the effort. Eating was overrated anyway. Resting was much more important, especially since he only had twenty minutes left to his break and another four hours to get through until the end of his shift, and his feet were already killing him. He tried to wiggle his toes and fought the impulse to kick off his shoes.

He hated breaking in new tennis shoes. They were always stiff and made his feet ache and his heels blister for the first two weeks he wore them, probably since he bought the least expensive ones he could find in Wal-Mart instead of a pair from one of the better quality (and pricier) shoe stores in the mall. Plus, his choices were limited by more than budget -- he needed to adhere to Happy World’s Wardrobe policy, which firmly stated that tennis shoes be completely white (or black, depending on the area of the Park you were scheduled in), without any splash of color or visible trademark. No comfortable, stylish Nikes or Adidas for his poor little piggies, even if he could’ve afforded them.

He sighed again and let his mind wander. As usual, at least lately, he thought about Rory. His thoughts went back to the day before last, when he’d gone skinny-dipping with Rory at Rory’s house after the great dinner at Martinique. They’d had sex again, something that was turning into a regular habit with them. Kyle’s lips curved into a smile. A nice habit, to be sure, and one he could get hopelessly used to, very fast. Except of course, they simply had to stop doing it inside the Park. It was too dangerous. If they were caught, they’d be fired on the spot. Danger, though... it made everything just a little more exciting, a little juicier. His smile broadened, thinking about exactly how juicy Rory could be.

“Hope that smile is for me.”

Kyle looked up and his smile instantly fled at the sight of Charlie Taylor’s handsome face grinning down at him. “Oh, hello.”

Charlie was the last person Kyle wanted see. He didn’t trust Charlie, and felt Charlie was up to something, although what it might be, Kyle had no clue. Still, it couldn’t be good. Charlie simply wasn’t that nice a guy and had never found the time to acknowledge Kyle’s existence before. Charlie’s sudden interest in him was a giant red flag. He knew he sounded totally bitchy but didn’t care.

To his chagrin, Charlie slid into the chair next to him. “I heard you went to Martinique without me.”

Kyle felt his mouth pop open. How did Charlie find out? More importantly, why did Charlie care? “Uh... “

“Yeah. I have a buddy who waiters there part-time. You must know him.
