"Arabella" I hear Martha call
I open my eyes and realized that I had fallen asleep
The whole night
"Sorry sweetie I didn't mean to wake you up"
"It's fine I shouldn't be sleeping in"
I have no clue why I'm so tired
"It was a very long drive down here"
"You don't have to feel bad for resting"
I look up at Martha and smile
Martha is a very beautiful women with the dark brown hair and blue eyes
I've always liked her
She gets me
"I didn't want to bother you on your second day but your shift at the bakery starts today and we are very understaffed"
"It's okay can I have a few minutes?" I ask still adjusting to the light of the room
My room hadn't changed much since I'd last been here
it was very much a beach house room with the anchor wallpaper and a view of the water
"Of course sweetie I'll be In kitchen come find me
when you're ready"
I nod and slump back on the bed

After I get ready I make my way into the kitchen where I find my dad bickering with Martha
I cough into my fist because I really don't feel like speaking
"Arabella" Martha says abruptly
"Ready?"
"Yeah"
"Bye dad" I say while I'm turning to leave
"Bye" he huffs under his breath
The car ride with Martha is silent
"He'll come around" Martha says
"Hm?" I say confused
"Your dad he's just in a bad mood cause of work so I wouldn't mind his rude behaviour"
"Nothing I haven't dealt with before"
"Right" she says turning into the bakery and I couldn't be more relieved that this conversation is over
I walk into the bakery and the smell of fresh bread and pastries fills my nose
Martha leads me behind the counter and shows me where everything thing is
How to work the cash and just shows me all the basics on how to run the place
I put my apron on and it has an apple pie on it
"Do you think you'll be okay for a little bit?"
"I have to run some errands"
I nod
"Hey this is great practice for when you open a restaurant" Martha says with a cheerful smile
I smile back and nod
The door dings and I look up and see a man with light brown hair and green eyes so green they could be emerald
He was wearing a tight black t shirt so tight you see his muscles
He has a lot of muscles
"Oh Arabella darling before I forget this is Noah"
"Your co-worker"
Of course I look like I just got hit by a truck now I have to work with this beautiful man everyday
"Nice to meet you" I say awkwardly from behind the counter
He nods
"Have fun!" Martha calls before she's out the door
Me and Noah hold eye contact for a moment before he's behind the counter with me
"So how long have you worked here for Noah?"I say trying to make conversation
"A while so please don't get in my way" he says with a cold tone
Get in your way what?
"Dude this is literally my bakery" I say folding my arms
"Sure it is bells"
"It's Arabella" I say pointedly
He hums and puts on his apron that has a cupcake on it
I laugh and he glares at me
Great it's the first day and this guy already hates my guts
It really was going to be a long summer
