WELCOME BACK TO STRAWBERRY CIGARETTES MY WHOREIONS AND MY BITCHLETS, LETS MOTHERYFKCING GOOOO
"Have a nice day!" Venus waved to a customer walking out the door, their smile immediately dropped after they left and went back grinding the coffee beans. "You're so fake, you know that right?" A coworker peeped on them, Venus started grinding more aggressively "Shut up, Zach." They gritted their teeth, Zach rolled his eyes and smoothed his apron as he walked towards the counter with the cash register. The cafe's manager was sick so only 6 employees were in charge and were gonna close early. 3 employees were in the kitchen and the rest were in the cafe area. "One Chocolate Cat crepe and two sunset shakes!" Zach yelled, placing the bagged items on the counter. "The Chocolate Cat crepes seem popular today!" A fluffy spilt dyed haired coworker said, "and the Sherbet Meringues" Venus shouted, pouring the grinder coffee beans into a cup.
"Whoever came up with those deserves an Oscar." Venus smirked, "The merengues came from mee~" the fluffy coworker gleamed, "Venus came up with the Moonshine Milk Tea and Waffle Cat Wafers right?" Zach questioned, Venus nodded. The other coworker twirled around the cafe area, sliding past Venus at the coffee counter. "Any new customers this week?" She snooped up between them, Venus picked up a marker and looked at a white board with a title 'famous and new', famous being tallied with 16 strikes and new having 2 strikes. "Two new ones, a deranged softie and a lovely bookworm." She eyed them slowly "Oh." Venus sighed, "How about you, Makayla?" Makayla stood and thought for a few minutes, "There was this pink haired girl with a cyber goth outfit"
"Why do we always attract hot people?" Venus groaned, "Is that a good thing? You always said you needed a boyfriend." Makayla replied, "I know but like- I don't think I even have the time to care for other people because I have a lot to focus and rely on! I might even have to find a boyfriend at 40! I've been so busy working a 4-10 job and studying during my job!" Makayla, having nothing to say- shaped her lips into a line and waited a couple of minutes to pull Venus out of their misery and back to work. "C'mon now, you have a ton of Latte Kittens and Classic Coffees to work on" Makayla yelled, yanking their collar from the counter. "Fine." Venus groaned, picking up a cup of crushed coffee beans and walking over towards a hot kettle.
The cafe seemed at peace with the overfilling customers arriving, and the setting seemed surprisingly calm. A sound of music and the chattering sounds combined along with fresh aromas of steamed coffee. Venus laid their head down at a counter and sighed, "What's the matter?" Zach said as he passed by Venus, "hm, nothing." "You're avoiding eye contact from me- what's the matter now?" Venus eyed him a bit then jolted away quickly, "work." "Ah, same." Zach nodded, fixing his glasses "it's your turn at the cash register by the way." "I'll be there in a bit." Ending with a sigh then proceeding to walk over to the cash register.
Venus looked at their apron and fixed their pins and apron before getting interrupted by a sound of a small bell and the door opening, "Hello, welcome to-" there awaited a tall figure with a few face piercings, looking EXACTLY like what Venus described when they saw him at the art room. "- the Coffee Club." Venus trailed off slowly, the two made awkward eye contact, "W-What could I get you?" Venus smiled and clenched their fist slightly, "what do you recommend?" Venus bit their lip and thought, "T-The Marina Macchiato, Coldest Brew and Captain Cappuccino ... for coffee." Sean chuckled slightly as Venus gritted their teeth, "Coldest Brew and 3 Sherbet Meringues" Venus added the digits up and looked up, "Is that all?" Sean eyed the menu again, "And a honey waffle." Venus grinned, "13.49$ is your total, sir." Sean pulled out his wallet and inserted the card in the card reader, then pulled it out after a few seconds.
"Your order will be with you shortly." Venus kept grinning, "Nice to know, Vee." Sean smiled and walked over to a small table near a window, "Woah, he called you Vee. You two close?" Makayla popped out behind them, "Absolutely fucking NOT." Makayla blinked and stepped back, "Then who is he?" Venus grunted and crossed their arms, "His name is Sean and he is a dick." Makayla eyed Sean then to Venus, "don't seem like it." "I don't know who the fuck he is but he goes to my university and safe to say, I don't have ANY classes with him." Venus snarled, "You sure?" A voice crept behind them, behind the counter and there he was, Sean. "The fuck do you mean?" "Your friend, Gabe was babbling then I told him my classes, we have the same sculptures class together" "wait you mean-" "I'm also an art, not a photography major. Not sure who made that up."
"Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw!" Venus whispered to Makayla, "Ew, I'm not into the same shit as you." Makayla said, disgustingly. "Why the fuck are you here at the front counter anyways?" Asked Venus, "I wanted to know more about you, other than the feisty trait like at the art room." Makayla stared blankly at them, "Yeah, Venus is like that when you first meet them." " I am not!" "You threaten to smash my skull with a rock after your interview." ...a couple minutes of silence went by and Sean was the first to chuckle again, "what's so funny?" Sean took a deep breath, "Vee reminds me of a small cat I used to own." Makayla perked up excitingly, "tell me more!" "His name was Toffee, he would always hiss and scratch everyone and everything"
"Oh yeah, that's Venus." Makayla agreed, Venus being right next to them- offended. Makayla perked up and suddenly remembered about orders, "Venus, orders" Makayla scattered off to the other counter, followed by a "I'll be there in a bit" Venus shouted, Sean still standing behind them "What?" Venus questioned. "I'm interested about joining your art club." Sean replied, Venus seemed quite excited but pretended to play it cool, "meetings in the art room, 4-6PM Thursday afternoon." They announced, "got that? Your one and only chance to join the cool people." Sean smiled amusingly, "What is the art club benefits?"- "We get offered to work at the theaters and decorate campus for events." Venus said proudly, "I'm joining" Venus did a cheeky smile after hearing Sean reply with that, "Welcome to your free ticket of the coolest people ever." They gave their hand out and Sean shook it.
"Oh yeah, your order." Venus completely forgot about his order and sprinted toward the kitchen immediately, kicking the door open and revealing a bunch of chefs in distress.
"DROP YOUR PLACENTAS AND GIVE ME 3 SHERBET MERINGUES, STAT" Venus said, marching toward one chef holding a burnt placenta, "I'm talking about you, Tanner." The chef seemed defeated, as he was always called out for his burning skills, "Stop calling me out!" Venus slapped a hand across his face and one on his left shoulder, "Shut your trap and work on the sweets. Peach can you work on the waffles while I go work on the coldest brew?" A snicker came from afar, "You just realized about this man's order cause you spent 5 minutes talking to him" says a soft pink haired chef, Venus shushed them in embarrassment and walked out the kitchen to work the brew.
Opening a miniature fridge and pulling out a kettle of cold coffee, setting it on a messy counter. Prepping up the plastic cup and placing it down, pouring it's famous star-shaped ice into the cup, clinking as it was poured. Adding in the sweeten milk and finally, the cold coffee into the cup. Shaking it a minimum around in a circle then being placed down at the pick up counter, along with two bags of freshly baked waffles and meringues. "One Coldest Brew, a Honey Waffle and 3 Sherbet Meringues?" Venus shouted, there arrived the man himself- Sean Rosaine of course. "See you at Thursday." He said under his breath, picking up his stuff and leaving.
"Is it a date?"
"What date?"
"You guys have something planned on Thursday, right?"
"It's a art club, Makayla."
