5: One Year

~Tyler's point of view~

It was now Monday. It's been four days since I've seen Josh. I miss him greatly, but I'll see him today at work. Maybe since he doesn't have to leave for work he could hang out there.

Then I had the greatest idea as I looked at myself in the mirror. I decided to do it. When he walks in I'll ask. And whatever happens.

Happens.

Josh walked in, his hair a mess just like yesterday. Another buttoned up shirt, and some jeans. He had vans on today instead of his converses from yesterday. "Josh, can I see you in the back room?" I asked and he nodded nervously.

"I would like to invite you to work at my coffee shop." I said when we were alone. "Really?" Josh asked and I nodded. "You're a great inspiration to this place. Plus, I'm thinking of renaming it. I never had a great name. It's nothing special, but ima name it 'Ty's Coffee'."

Josh watched me as I talked. "It's a wonderful name, Ty." He said and then he hugged me. "Thank you so much." He said. "Of course. Now," I started to tell Joshy the inside and outside of the shop. So he knew everything.

Within a week my shop was now called 'Ty's Coffee' instead of just 'Coffee'. It added more bedazzle to the shop and I liked it. "Tyler!" Jenna called. "The machine is over heating!" She yelled. "Turn it off!! Turn it off!" Brendon yelled at her.

The machine caught on fire and I had to blast it with the fire extinguisher before it did anymore damage. There was a huge black line on the wall up to the ceiling. "That'll take lots of money to fix." I said. "Are you going to have to take money out of our paycheck?" Josh asked.

"Never. I would never do that." I replied, I'd probably just end up taking money from my paycheck. It was my business after all. "Is the machine okay?" I asked and Jenna went over to it. "No... it's badly burned." She replied.

I took a deep breath in and sighed. "That's okay. It won't take that much money." I said. "It'll take at least a thousand dollars to fix." Ash said. "I know," I told her. "Let us help you Tyler," Dallon interjected. "No. Please. This is my work- like I started it all."

Jenna put her hand on my shoulder. "Yeah but I started it." She said. "And we all love you. We want you to eat and be able to shower." Josh said putting his hand on my other shoulder. "Okay. I'll take at least a hundred dollars from each of you for like three or four pay checks. If you need more money I'll give it to you. But we need to get this fixed as soon as possible." I told them.

"Done," They all said at the same time. We assumed our positions and went back to our daily work. As if the fire never happened. Josh threw away the broken coffee machine. And within one pay check we had enough money to buy paint to cover the black slash on the wall. Within the next two months we got seven hundred dollars to buy a new coffee machine.

Then we were back on track. The whole process took a span of two months.

Josh was amazing at making whatever coffee I decided to add to the menu. He knew it all by heart. By working together we began to knew more about each other than we ever had. I knew all his favorite Disney movies. Apparently his favorite Disney movie was my favorite too. Tangled!

Eventually Josh's one year anniversary for working at the shop rolled around. "I can't believe it's already been a year since he started." Ash said as she made her daily coffee. I stared at the sign with every drink on it for the month.

"I have an idea Ash," I said and pulled her close. I whispered words in her ear and she squealed right back into mine. Josh walked in at seven thirty a.m., just like he always did. Even though all employees didn't have to be here until eight.

Josh looked at the menu, "The Dun coffee?" He read out loud. "Blueberry creamer and black coffee.." He said to himself. "I'll have a coffee of myself," He winked to me. I blushed before I started to make his coffee.

"One Dun coffee for the inspiration." I winked and handed it to him, leaving on a counter. "Holy- this is amazing." He said. "It's. Why is there a coffee named after me?" He asked me. "It's your one year surprise."

Ash rolled her eyes and walked over to us. "You better like it, Joshua. He didn't give me a coffee." She said with a serious face. "I'm sorry- okay. You know I love him!" I yelled. Josh smirked at me. "W-what?" I asked him. "Oh nothing, I love you too," he said and gave me a kissy face.

Dallon and Brendon arrived a bit later holding hands. "Me and Dal are getting married," Brendon said, grabbing Dallon's hand and showing us the ring. "OH MY GOD DALLON- BRENDON!!!" I squealed. "I love you guys," I ran over to them and hugged them.

The coffee shop was empty right now, but I wouldn't have cared either way. I still would've hugged them and squealed. "So, when's the party getting started?" Ash asked, getting from behind the counter and walking next to me. "Tomorrow." Brendon winked and kissed Dallon's forehead.

"Let's get this party started," Jenna said walking from behind them with a confetti cannon that shot out little confetti dicks. "You guys! I'm gonna have to clean all these up and make sure they're gone!" I complained. Everyone laughed while I pouted. "So many dicks," Ryan added.

"We'll help you Ty," Josh said. "Thank you Joshy," I said, he kissed my forehead and then bent down to pick up the little dicks.
