Pizza Daddy: The Adventures of Jake Sim and Y/N

Chapter 2: Internet Encounter

Oh my God...if I get blamed for pestering a customer or getting cut from the extra pay-

"Y/N, you and your coworkers have been awfully loud. Care to explain what caused you all to get roused like that?"

I started to crack my knuckles while standing awkwardly at the door of my boss's office. A million answers to his question flashed through my mind, but I said not one of them.

"Um, I was just...I was answering the customer like usual, sir."

"Do you really think I buy that? I didn't even ask about your little side hustle I gave you. I'm assuming you've been texting a customer and showing the messages to your coworkers."

"Yes- I mean it's not like that, though!"

"Y/N, I can't have you wasting time. I'm afraid I'm going to have to take away this task for the time being until I can trust you. You can leave now."

Oh, just wonderful.

Defeated, I nearly ran out of the office to share the bad news. When I did, the most disappointed was Sana.

"I can't believe it! Yeah the guy sounded cute and was funny as hell, but he just cost you your- uh...side hustle!"

"Look, I don't really care that much about the extra pay, but I don't think any of this will be a problem...hopefully," This was true, however the next step would require more tactic and wit.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Sana, "You don't mean that you actually gave him your number! How?"

"Woah, way to jump to conclusions, but ultimately, yes. I did the classic number-on-a-piece-of-paper thing. I'm kinda embarrassed but whatever. It's too late now."

"Damn, that's a bold move for you."

"Hey! Look, it's getting late and I have yet to receive a message," I said with a wink. I sure was in a mischievous mood that day, which was saying a lot.

JAKE'S POV:

Her number. Right there, taped on the top of the box. I swear I never could have been more stupid in my life. I ASSUMED THE PERSON I WAS TEXTING WAS A GUY. I wondered why she didn't correct me.

I sat there for a moment, debating on whether I should text her right away or not. After the few moments I took for consideration, I could not resist the urge. It was too strong. I was reminded of my days of carefree correspondence, (that only happened 30 minutes ago) and set to work.

This message was going to be legendary.

"hey"

Unfortunately, I couldn't muster up the courage to say something daring. Not after what happened at my very own doorstep.

"i knew you'd answer within the hour. so what made you make this move?"

"just bored"

"really?
just bored.
forget about what happened when we met?"

"kinda harsh, but okay, yeah i do
not to sound rude or anything, but i thought you were
um
not female 😃"

"oh
thats ok ig. prolly not the first to assume that
also fyi you cost me my job"

Well, shit.

"wait what??? are you being serious"

"yes, i am. no i do not care though. i just lost auto responding privileges"

"well goddamn thanks for scaring me twice today."

"youre welcome. and by the way, i never got your name. full name, i mean"

"jumping straight to it"

"um, no. isnt it normal for strangers to know each other's names, you douche."

"ouch x2
jake sim
and you?"

"Y/N"

"nice meeting you Y/N"
