Audrey's POV

"I don't understand how they didn't ask more questions?" Jos wipes the counter and by wiping I mean 3 swipes across and calling it clean.

"Maybe the bracelets eased their reactions. They were pretty happy with them." I shrug restocking the containers with freshly cut lettuce and tomatoes.

"Still! You spent the night with a guy and they don't interrogate you!" Her voice raises in pitch. 

At that moment our manager Frankie walks in. Jocelyn's eyes grow wide and I try to hold in both laughter and embarrassment.

"Please keep personal conversations personal." He leaves the box of buns on the counter and walks to the back.

"Why didn't you tell me he was coming!" Jos whispers speed walking closer to me.

"How was I supposed to know? Oh and when you put the spray away can you bring the mop?" I ask her and she gives me a thumbs-up before tiptoeing her way to the back.

I squat down to put away the last containers when I hear the door ring. I sigh and brush off the shirt before getting up.

"Welcome to Subs what can I get for you?" I recite walking over to get a new pair of gloves.

"You got any meatball subs?"

"Yes we do- what are you guys doing here?" I freeze halfway staring at Ricky and Emery leaning against the counter.

"Well, we were hungry." Ricky shrugs analyzing the veggies.

"Alright, so meatball sub for Emery and turkey for you?" I ask reaching for fresh bread. I see Ricky nod and I start prepping the subs how they want it.

Some groaning and pushing noises began and I turn around to see Jocelyn's butt sticking out the window as she shimmers the mop and bucket out the door.

"Jos we only need the mop you can keep the bucket inside..." I say as she wipes away the water that sprinkled on her.

"I already took it out, I don't- Emmy you're here!" She drops the mop and runs to Emery who is waiting for her with his hands wide open.

They start to give each other kisses. I quickly wrap up Emery's sub.

"Your meatball sub is ready? Hello? Emery? Emery!" I wave his food as close to him as I can. I give Ricky a look and he physically places himself in between them.

"Stop being gross and get your sandwich." Ricky nods towards me and Emery snaps out of his trance. He grabs it and continues to boop Jocelyn's nose. 

''I'm glad we're not like that,'' I comment adding the finishing touches on Ricky's sandwich.

''Yea same here,'' he glances at them one more time in amusement. ''Hey I wanted to talk to you about something, when do you get off?'' He asks and I look behind him towards the clock.

''Half an hour, were waiting for the others to take our shift.'' He nods and I remove my gloves. 

''How much will it be?'' Ricky asks with a tomato seed stuck to his lip. 

''Don't worry about it I'll pay for you.'' 

''Thank you,'' he smiles. The tomato seed hangs tight to his lip. 

''By the way, where is Liam?'' I ask following them to one of the tables. 

''On a date.'' Emery wiggles his eyebrows. My mouth drops and a small smile grows. ''And you'll never believe with who."

Ricky groans rolling his eyes. "He's such an idiot.''

''Well, who is it?'' I raise my eyebrows in anticipation.
