𝐈𝐕.

THE NEXT MORNING EVERYONE HAD TO GET UP EARLY AND READY FOR our orientation at the gelato shop, that we were going to be working at during our time here. which, I was honestly excited for. I didn't mind getting out of the house, even if that meant scooping ice cream for a few hours.

Putting my hair up in a high ponytail and slipping on my sandals, I was set. and luckily, so was everyone else.

The weather today felt hotter than usual and I couldn't help but frown at the leather chairs that were installed inside the cars as we settled ourselves in.

" The seats are freaking hot." Nicole says, and we all agreed. the sun in Miami really was no joke.

It wasn't long before we finally arrived at Gelato Smoothie. it looked a bit bigger in person with a few green table sets lined up in the front, outside of it. which in a way, brought the shop out more.

" This is a bad look for me." Pauly says as we enter and immediately our boss walks out and greets us.

" My name is Enzo, and I'm going to be your boss." he tells us, looking us all down.

" I'm gonna tell you all how things work in my shop" I nod.

" I'm gonna teach you how to make the ice cream. you are going to have to wear a hat." he explains to us, making a short comment on Pauly's hair and Nicole's glasses considering the obvious.

I pout slightly at Pauly seeing the annoyance in his face at the thought of having to do anything different with his hair. I highly doubted if anything were going to get in the ice cream when it came to that hair of his. it was particularly stuck in place.

Eventually, he showed us how to scoop the ice cream and how many stacks to do. giving me and Mike the free samples, who Mike gave to Nicole.

" Everyone loves our shop, so it will be fun." he happily enlightened us.

Enzo seemed like a rather cool person, he didn't give off the impression that he was going to be a lot to handle and I was grateful for that. he was definitely one of those bosses who doesn't bother you as long as you did what you were needed to do.

After awhile though, we bid our goodbyes and headed back home.

THE SECOND WE ARRIVED HOME I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED BY the kitchen to grab ahold of the bowl of freshly sliced pineapples I prepared and were craving the whole ride.

I watched as Angelina asked Mike if she could tag along with him and the boys to go eat, which I stayed quiet to enjoying my fruit and letting Mike plant a quick kiss on the side of my head before disappearing down the hall.

Just then, the duck phone quacks and I grab the bowl of fruit before heading towards it. making myself comfortable on the red beanbag chair and answering it.

" Hello?"

" Hey, can I speak to Alisa please?" they ask, and I couldn't contain the small smile that spread across my face, already knowing that voice.

Micheal.

" It seems someone finally decided to bless me with their call." I tell him jokingly, a bit of sarcasm leaking through my words.

He chuckles.

" It seems so. no, but, I apologize. work was a bit hectic these days and I'm finally off for a few of 'em." he explains. I hum in response, understanding how busy work can get.
