(y/n)'s POV
I was in a dreamless sleep when I felt someone lightly pushing against my shoulder and uttering my name. I opened my eyes to meet the brown gaze of my father who was kneeling next to my bed, "What is it?" I asked in a sleepy tone.

My eyes were burning, begging to be closed again. I worked at my summer job this morning and now I am completely exhausted. It's an easy job, and I do love it, but working at a bakery can get tiresome; especially being around hot ovens all day when we're currently burning in the summer heat.

My father gave me a sheepish smile before slowly holding up our wired house phone to me, "It's the bakery."

I groaned heavily, sitting up in my bed and grabbing a hold of the heavy phone. I placed the receiver up to my ear with a low sigh, "Hello?"

"Hey (y/n)," My boss spoke with a little too much enthusiasm. I already had a feeling of where this was going, and I was dreading it, "The closer called out for tonight."

I lifted my head up to stare at the ceiling, "Please don't say it Rick."

He sighed sympathetically, "I'm so sorry, but can you please come in and close with Bella tonight? I would do it, but my son is sick." He pleaded, his tone filled with desperation.

I remained silent and bit the inside of my cheek; debating on what response to give him. I could say no, I wanted to say no. I was incredibly worn out, I already worked eight hours this morning and I had plans with my boyfriend tonight. But I was thinking about the money, which was the main reason I work this job every summer. I was saving up for an out of state college next year. Not to mention he's a single father, just like mine, so I held sympathy for him.

I felt torn, until he spoke his next words and made my decision much easier for me, "I'll give you double pay for this morning's shift, and tonight's." He bargained.

I smiled into the phone while I twisted the coiled cord around my finger, "Okay you've convinced me, but I also get unlimited coffee for the week."

He chuckled, "Anything for my life saver."

💛

I walked into the bakery and the bell on the door rang upon my entry. I stopped and stretched with a heavy yawn. I'm definitely going to have a coffee in my hand for this entire shift. But with double pay, I'd happily do this every day.

I told my boyfriend, Clovis, about my call-in, and I was worried he'd be upset, but he was actually fine with it. He even offered to pick me up afterwards. Which I thought was sweet, but he's always been a sweet guy, it's one of the reasons I fell in love with him. We met freshman year of high school as lab partners and we've been together since then. Now we'll be going into our senior year together in a few months and hopefully college together.

He's the star football player at our school and he's been getting a lot of out-of-state scouts that are interested in giving him a scholarship. That's one of the reasons I want the money, so I'm prepared to go with him wherever he goes. It was him who convinced me to do this. He says he loves me, and wants to spend the rest of our lives together; and I, of course, want nothing more.

I stepped around the counter and greeted my co-worker Bella with a smile, she's fairly new which is why she can't close alone just yet. I don't know her well since she's only been here maybe a week or two, and we tend to work opposites, but she comes off as sweet, and shy, "Are you ready to do this." I sighed, placing on my apron and tying it behind me.
