Sugar-Coated || C.H.

III

{a/n: This book takes place in the modern era but of course with the young Corey.}

I woke up as a contraption started vibrating on my chest and made so much noise. It went silent after a while but I think it dropped on the ground..

"Shit," I cursed. I realised it was my phone. Last night I was so happily messaging Corey that I forgot I needed rest. But of course, me being myself, I slept early but it was later than usual. 12:45am.

I feel as if I have a hangover; I had the worst headache today. Maybe a migraine. Why must this happen on a Friday? What happened to 'Thank God It's Friday'?

"Get your ass up," Duckie kicked the door open and pulled the curtains. I started hissing like a vampire and told her to close it. When I was younger, I used to think I was allergic to the sun (still am). Maybe that's why I failed P.E.

"Oh my god. Do you want to run a business or not? Do you want to see Corey? If yes get ready." She pushed me off my head and I landed on my face. Ouch.

"Wh- Corey?" I asked in confusion.

"You have a crush on him. Don't deny it, ass," Beka yelled from outside and walked in the room when she found us sitting inside. She was taking a scoop out of Nutella and shoving the spoon in her mouth. She has her special jar; just for her favourite Nutella.

I love these girls. They're a mixture of weird and wise. They know the right time to joke and to be serious. What can I ask for more? I have my best friends next to me and supporting me (well we support each other).

I was just in time to open the cafe. It was already 8:30am and people were already waiting to get their breakfast and coffees. I saw a couple familiar faces and said 'hi' when I walked past them. A small smile can make someone's day you know. So gather that long face of yours and put it back properly.

Emilio smiled at me and greeted me. He's been here way earlier than me to start all the machines and get the coffees and food ready. He's very attractive for a barista; he gets hit on a lot when serving. I find it really funny. We love exchanging laughs and puns while working. We have tons of inside jokes and I know it's mean but we give the customers nicknames.

I made my way into the kitchen to grab my apron while Duckie and Emilio were already at work. I also had to check the stock for the cafe. I looked back and at the both of them and realised I need more hands. I need to hire another barista.

I was so caught up in my thoughts I didn't realise someone stopped me in my tracks by hugging me from behind. Their breath hit my neck and gave me the chills. They kissed my cheeks and whispered, "boo". I know that voice and scent anywhere it was Corey. I was ready to melt.

"Good morning, princess. Nice sleep huh last night?" He smirked. Right- I fell asleep while we were texting.

"You know I'm a sleeper right?" I chuckled trying to get out of his grip. "Corey, let me go. I need to check the inventory!"

"Not until you give your old man a hug aye?" he quoted those dads in movies that just returned home from work.

"Nah, I don't think so, Old man." I pushed him away gently and stuck my tongue out. He's fun to be with but I just realised how the hell did he manage to get in the inventory?

"It's 10am Corey. You gotta go to work. Let's go, I'll give you your usual order."

"I don't want my regular order today."

"Tell me your order then?"

He pulled me towards him and kissed me (on the lips!!). Of course, being a naive little (not so little) girl I was, I kissed back. I'm probably a bad kisser but Corey didn't stop for at least a 30 seconds. Record!!

"Got it," he pulled away and smirk as he walked out of the inventory. His head popped back in with a cheesy smile on his face. "Actually can I get one of your famous glazed donuts? Hehe."

The rest of the day was a blur maybe because I'm not able to concentrate after he kissed me. Maybe I am hopelessly in love with Corey Ian Haim.

"Girl," Duckie pulled me aside. "You need a break. You acting all crazy and shit. You alright?" She placed her palm on my forehead.

"I'm fine," I chuckled and pushed her hand away.

Waddup guys!

Finally my semestral exams are done and I have little bit more time.

Although, I'll still be pretty busy as this year, I'm taking GCSEs(National Exam).

I swear it's making me go crazy. I am sleep deprived but oh well.

I got the feels writing this chapter oqwkxeqjsokjc

Oh & I apologise for the length of this chapter. It's sorta a filler for the story.

So yeah hehe
