"Honey Nut Cheerios or Frosted Flakes?" I asked, my phone was balanced between my ear and my shoulder.

"We had Frosted Flakes last week." He said, I heard voices in the background but they were faint, meaning he was in his office at work. I decided to go out during my lunch break.

"True." I reached up on my tippy toes and grabbed the box of cereal, then placed it in my basket.

I turned around and met eyes with a girl who was obviously looking at me. She looked over me it seemed then looked at the shelf.

"Hey Fred, I gotta call you back. If you don't hear anything from me, just know I love you." I whispered.

"What? Bee what are you talking about-" he got cut off by me hanging up.

"Can I help you with something?" I asked in a nice manor. But really, why the hell is she looking at me?!

"Oh my god, sorry. I just really liked your top. I was trying to figure out where you would've gotten it." The girl said with a laugh. "Weird I know."

"It's fine. It's just a one piece." I said with a shrug.

"Where'd you get it?"

"Oh my sh- Rolmants Boutique. It's a little ways down the road." I said.

"I'll have to check it out. Sorry, by the way, didn't mean to creep you out."

"It's okay." I looked down as my phone rang and I saw it was Fred. Better take this. "Okay, I gotta take this..." I trailed off as I took a step back, then walked away as I accepted the call.

"Calling so soon?" I asked.

"Just making sure you're alive. I gotta get those Honey Nut Cheerios." He joked.

"Asshole."

"You can't take the candy." I huffed as I slapped Draco's hand. He grabbed a sucker, took the wrapper off of it, then put it in his mouth, took it out, and gave it back to me.

"Want it?" He asked.

"No. You can have it."

"Good." He put it back in his mouth then walked off from me and to a customer who looked a little lost.

Ellie called me saying she was sick, and Draco offered to help me. Thank god. Lee is still on his honeymoon. I don't think I can run this place by myself. I would be set on fire. Again.

"Hi, are you all ready?" I asked the man who walked up to me. He nodded then placed his items on the counters.

As I began to ring through his clothes, Fred came through the front door with my iced coffee. My fucking saviour. The line was way too long and I was already late for work this morning, plus, Ellie wasn't here to open up like she usually does. She's just accepted the fact that I can't be on time for anything. Blame Fred and his stupid horniness and hotness.

"Your total is $20.75." I said and he pulled out his card, I got the machine ready then pushed it over to him.

Freddie came behind the counter and put the coffee off to the side out of the way, then placed a kiss on my forehead. "George said El has Mono." He sighed.

"Again?" We had in together in sixth year when we were 16. I thought you could only get that once... maybe I'm thinking of something else.

"Yeah, so that means you're gonna get it too."

I passed the man his bag, told him to have a good day, then looked over at Fred. "What does that mean? Why would you assume such a thing?"

"Because you two are always on top of each other."  He said.
