I roll around, and rub my eyes open. It's dark from the drawn curtains, and I sit up, the sheet falling to my waist exposing me, just wearing a bra. Oh shit. I look beside me and Easton is sleeping on his side, his bare back revealed, and his muscles relaxed. Did..
Did I sleep with Easton Bernard?
Holy shit.
HOLY SHIT! WORK!
I jump out of bed, and quickly put on my discarded jeans and shirt. I grab my phone that shows 12:43am. "Shit, shit, shit" I brush my fingers through my hair, and sit at the end of the bed, slipping on my shoes. Then run out the bedroom door. I really hope Cynthia doesn't kill me. I run into his bathroom and take a shot of mouthwash, and push it around in my mouth before spitting it out and running out his apartment, and to the Coffee Shop.
I take a deep breath, before walking in and smiling guiltily. "Oh hey Sleepy Head" Cynthia smiles, pouring coffee for a customer as Ivy is working the cash.
"Hey.." I grab an apron and tie it around my waist.
"Stayed up pretty late huh?" she pours apple cider in a cup and hands it to me, then starts wiping down the counters. I watch her, leaning against one counter as I sip on my tea.
"Yeah, I'm sorry I was late" I take another sip, and the liquid burns going down my throat.
"That's okay Hun, you deserve one late morning. You've never been late, I was actually worried, I was going to call you!" Cynthia chuckles, as she throws out some loose coffee beans on the counter.
I chuckle, "Yeah, I got..busy with..chores last night.." I punch myself internally at my excuse.
"No problem, but would you mind taking Ivy's place while she goes on break?"
"Oh yeah, totally" I set my tea down beside the cashier and Ivy smiles, thanking me and leaving for break.
2:58pm arrives and that's when I see Easton, as I look back up from the till. "Oh hi" I smile.
"Hi" he smiles.
I don't ask him what he wants and just hand him the debit machine and grab his coffee and fritter.
"Here you go, Charming"
"Thanks Sweetheart, you know me so well" he grins. "Oh wait, pass me a cup" he writes down something then hands me the empty cup.
"You're gonna use all of our cups you know, writing these" I chuckle.
He stands back up and hands me the cup, "Then I'll buy this place two thousand cups myself, because I am not going to stop making you smile" he winks before leaving.
I smile, and scan over the message;
had a good night last night sweetheart,
meet me at the back doors, real quick.
I tilt down the cup quickly before anyone sees it. "Ivy, could you take cash for a sec?"
"Yeah sure"
"Thanks, I'll be right back. Just going to the washroom" I smile and leave around the back but pass the washrooms and out the back doors.
"Easton" I bite back a smile, as he smiles, spinning me and kissing me passionately.
"Morning"
"Morning" I giggle.
"You left me this morning"
"Awe, poor baby" I peck his coffee tasting lips. I hate coffee, but not so much at the moment.
"What are you doing later?"
