Here's my first commission, an original idea featuring one of my characters from the 'Lindsay' stories.
Zayn worked at a cafe part time to make money while he attended college his senior year. The barista job itself was a drag, but he enjoyed his coworkers, mostly young people his age. He got along best with Carmen, a local who was two years his senior. They had a similar sense of humor and harbored the same feelings for their job. Zayn had a girlfriend at school, and Carmen lived with her boyfriend, and while an outsider might see their interactions as flirtatious, Zayn only ever viewed their back and forth as friendly banter. Of course, he was attracted to Carmen even if he never intended to act on it. She was petite, only 5 foot 4, which felt like half Zayn's height as he stood at 6 foot 2. Despite her petite frame she was voluptuous, with perky boobs that did their best to stand out from under the apron she wore every day. She had a small waist and wide hips, and Zayn often caught himself eyeing her plump, ample butt filling out her jeans when she was bent over stocking fridges. Zayn figured if their situation were different, he'd have a good chance with Carmen. They got along so well.
Zayn' classes meant he was only free to work in the afternoon, meaning he was often stuck closing up shop. Carmen worked all day, and often closed with him. Zayn usually got stuck with his least favorite job in the store, cleaning the bathroom at the end of the day. It became routine that he'd leave Carmen to hang behind the bar and help any customers while he went about cleaning the cafe, finally ending with the bathroom. He always saved the worst for last, procrastinating like a true collegiate.
One day, the cafe was introducing an iced cappuccino to greet the spring season. It was required that employees try every new beverage introduced by the cafe so that they could properly recommend them to customers. That day Zayn and Carmen tried the new drink together.
They toasted their mugs and tried the drinks. Carmen looked up with a residual foamy mustache on her upper lip.
"Look, I'm one of your hipster art school friends," she said, tapping her chin with a mocking thoughtful look on her face.
"Nice. How do you like the drink?" Zayn asked.
"Eh. It's fine for what it is. It tastes funny."
"Funny how?" The drink had tasted completely normal to Zayn.
"I couldn't really taste the soy milk at all."
Zayn had prepared the drink following the instructions, completely disregarding Carmen's lactose intolerance. He wasn't completely sure of the severity of her condition, and curiosity got the better of him. It was an experiment.
"Oh my god, Carm, I totally forgot," Zayn feigned, "I used normal milk, not soy. Will you be okay?"
"Don't sweat it, I'll be fine, stupid."
"I'm so sorry. What's going to happen?"
"It's cool. It might bother my stomach a little bit. I only had like half."
