Where's the Love
Part 1
"This is so meant to be. I told you I'd get a job." Jessy hollered from the street. "You what?" Chele hollered out the second story window. "I said I got a job. I'm like gainfully employed. You know what that means right?" Jessy hollered back. "You got a job." Chele screamed. "Yeah and now I can stay right here roomie." Jessy hollered as she made her way to the small apartment on the second floor that Chele had been in for almost two years now while attending the local University. "You're really going to do this aren't you?" Chele asked as Jessy entered the apartment. "Most definitely. I told you I was coming as soon as I graduated didn't I?" Jessy replied. "Yeah you did. Man Jessy you put your mind to it and you just do it. I wish I had. I lost so many credits transferring here." Chele complained. "Oh but you got everybody here thinking you're so smart. Man top of your class. Who'd have thought my sister the braniac? Me I thought you were just another dumb blonde but nooooo you gotta go and be a braniac. Man I hope you didn't tell nobody I'm your sister. Maybe we ought to tell them we just met. Huh? What you think oh smart one?" Jessy rattled on and on. "Gawd. I thought you'd never shut up. Since you went and got a job, it is a definite. I told you about the girl I met Liv. Well she called and invited us to a party. I had told her probably not but since you got a job, I think we should celebrate. How about you?" Chele asked. "I think you're right. Let's Par-T!" Jessy squealed turning on music and dancing before asking, "Where? When? What do I wear?" "Not sure. Liv will pick us up in an hour. Wear whatever you want. Me I'm wearing my new monster bells and the baby tee I bought." Chele replied. "Wear whatever huh?" Jessy said heading to her room. "Dibs on the shower." Chele said as she passed her room. "Sure. Age before beauty anyway." Jessy teased. "Who cares about that, I have seniority. I've lived here longer so the bigger bedroom is mine and so is the shower first." Chele teased back. "You're senior all right. Has AARP contacted you yet?" Jessy teased. "Well I never." Chele squealed. "They say the mind is the first to go. They probably did and you've forgotten." Jessy squealed back to the slamming bathroom door. Jessy went through her closet trying to decide what to wear. "Hey Sis. We like going to know anyone at this party? I mean do I have to worry about what impression I make?" Jessy asked rapping on the bathroom door. "I don't think so. If you're asking if you can dress sexy, I say go for it." Chele replied. "Man you still read me like a book. I picked it up at my new job. Oh I never told you that I'm working at Zats. I'm like talking to the store manager about the application I filled out and he goes like "Without experience I really don't think" on me. I interrupted him, untucked my blouse from my skirt, hiked it up then unbuttoned my blouse and tied it. I fluffed my hair a little then headed to a customer who'd just walked in. I talked that poor girl into spending her entire paycheck. Sold her an entire outfit including shoes. Store Manager goes, "I'll ring that up. You start tomorrow morning at 11am. Go pick out an outfit on me as a sales bonus." Can you believe it?" Jessy asked. "Yeah sis I believe it. You can do anything." Chele said coming from the bathroom, adding, "You put your mind to. Oh the shower's all yours." "Not bad timing for the most senior one." Jessy teased making her way past her and into the bathroom "I love you too!" Chele squealed as the door shut.
