Devin's POV

The bakery door chimes just as I was about to place the cookie into my mouth. The colorful sprinkles baked into the cookie gives me nothing but happiness.

I fold the cookie back into the napkin "Welcome to Honey's Bakery what can I get you?" I greet the customer.

I look up and Matty's walking up to the counter. "Your usual?" I ask.

His eyebrows furrowed "I've been here once how can I have a usual?" He questions.

"A black coffee and 2 sugar cookies."

"Oh thanks, but I just wanted to stop by." He stuffs his hands in the pockets of his sweats.

"That's cool. I have a my lunch break in few minutes you if wanna go to the sandwich shop across the street." I offer biting into my cookie.

Hie eyes widen a bit before nodding "Yea. I'll just wait over there." He points to a table with only two chairs by the windows.

10 minutes isn't that long so times flys to my lunch break, and me and Matty walks through the doors of the sandwich shop.

We sit down after giving our orders, and I don't think I'd ever heard such a plain order in my life. Dude practically ordered a lunch you take to school, but toasted.

"Are you okay?" I ask Matty as I pour the salt and pepper out of the packet onto a napkin, so I can play with the seasoning while we wait.

"Yea. Why?" He looks at me skeptically as I use the a spoon to grind down the salt and pepper.

"Because you order was just.....sad." I shake my head in disappointment "It's like if I ordered a salad with nothing but lettuce."

"Idk I just like to keep things simple." He shrugs fiddling with a straw.

I nod my head "So.... where does getting arrested play in this 'simple' you seem to like?" I pour a tiny drop of hot sauce on the ground seasoning, mixing it.

"You're not wrong." He nods his head.

I was going to say something smart, but the guy called use to get our sandwiches and drinks.

"Did you know the 'frankly' was based off two very honest brothers named Frank and Lee?" I say sipping strawberry lemonade.

"Really?" He raises his eyebrows.

"Yea, goes all the way to the 17th century." I lie straight through me teeth.

He hums absorbing the information I just gave him "I didn't know that."

"You learn something new everyday." I say wisely.

"I'm more into Greek mythology and stuff, but that's good to know " He bites into his sandwich.

"You mean the one with the dude who ate his children, so he didn't have to give up his throne?"

I remember looking it up 6th grade. Clicking from one Greek god to the next, connecting the dots, and let me tell you them motherfuckers up there have no boundaries whatsoever.
