(AN: double update wooo)
"A babe, eh?" Ashton laughed, deep indents forming in his cheeks as he smiled.
"Yeah! I mean, look at you." I giggled, waving my hand at him. "Now go drink your coffee, Irwin. I have customers to attend to." I shooed him away from the counter, and he grinned, waving at me.
"Same time tomorrow, Nicole?" he smirked, obviously thinking he was clever for knowing my name.
"You're so smooth, Ashton." I snickered, pointing at my name tag. "Same time tomorrow."
The rest of my shift dragged on, the analog clock hanging above the door mocking me as the seconds ticked by. Ashton had left, and the last customers were slowly leaving.
"Would you mind closing?" Misa called, yawning.
"Oh sure! Go get some rest, Misa. I'll see you tomorrow."
"I'll be out tomorrow, but Mark is covering my shift. Have fun darling." The woman smiled and left the shop quietly.
I sighed, grabbing a washcloth and beginning to wipe down the counter as fast as I could. I just wanted to get home and sleep. Hanging up my apron, I flipped the sign from "open" to "closed" and locked the heavy oak door behind me.

"NICK!" Melissa yelled, dashing through the hall to tackle me as I walked through the door.
"Whoa there, Liss! Calm yourself." I laughed, untangling myself from her. I slipped off my shoes, revealing blue polka dot socks. "How was your day, little one?"
"Stop calling me that, I'm only a year younger than you!"
"Yeah, but I'm 18, and you're 17. I'm an adult! You are the child!" I chuckled.
"I AM 21, SUCK IT!" Michael screamed from the kitchen.
"Oh shut up Mikey!" I shouted, "Anyway! I What's got you so happy?"
"I met.." she trailed off for dramatic effect, earning an eye roll from me. "a boy!" she squealed.
"Whoa, whoa. calm yourself." I reached in my purse to grab my phone, but my fingers met a soft paper surface. I pulled it out, revealing a napkin with a number and a name scribbled on it.
Ashton Irwin
