The moment the doors opened, the place flooded with customers. I knew I wouldn't have time for Nick just by looking at the crowded place so I dropped the call, leaving him a text saying I had to work.

It was a Monday morning and Mondays were always our busiest days. Especially in the morning when everyone is in a rush to get their coffees.

Caleb and I decided that I'd take charge of the cashier in the morning then after lunch, I'll take the drinks. We usually just end up bumping each other near the cashier because we didn't know who'd take the customer.

"Good morning! welcome to Starbucks, what can I get for you?"

The day went like usual Mondays did. By the time lunch came, Caleb and I were exhausted. It felt like we'd been doing that forever.

"My hands hurt from mixing and pouring and mixing and then blending" Caleb shook his hands before grabbing the drink he made for himself "I swear, this job is harder than I thought"

"Isn't really hard, we just get a lot of people on Mondays" I sat on the chair breathing heavily. "What do you wanna do for lunch?"

"Wanna sleep for the entire lunch break" Caleb drops his head down on the table, keeping his head down.

"Seriously though, what do you want for lunch?" I stood back up and grabbed my phone from my bag that hung at its usual place see nearby places to eat.

Then I got distracted from Nick's notifications.

"Daphne!" Caleb yelled, catching my attention. "The fuck were you smiling about? Jesus you looked like Spongebob on anti depressants"

I was smiling?

"I saw a funny video" I dismissed it immediately, placing my phone face down onto the table. "So lunch?"

"I'll make us sandwiches, spill. Who are they?" Caleb stands up and walked over to the counter, getting ingredients from the cupboards "Don't stay quiet there D, spill"

"His name is Nick and he's my coder, he codes stuff for me and I pay him for it" I shrugged, walking over to help him "He plays with me sometimes but that's about it"

"Mhm and does he know you have a job?" Caleb hands me some bread and I make my own sandwich. I guess this was our lunch now.

"Yeah, he usually talks to me before I go to work" I finished up my sandwich and walked over to the place we were both seated at.
