"Mike?" I whispered.
"Yeah?"
"It's already 4 am."
"Oh shit. Sorry."
"It's fine." I replied.
"It's just easy to hang out with you. I get to be myself."
"Yeah. Must be nice."
"When is your next day off?" He asked.
"Um...next Friday I think."
"Wanna hang?"
"Yeah. Sounds good." I replied.
"Cmon. Let's go home."

He walked me to my doorway. "I'll text you later."
"Bye, Mike." I said with a blush.
"Bye, Tony." He replied. I walked in and smiled.
I closed the door. Holy shit. Does that count as a date? He let me cuddle with him, opened doors for me, and gave me his jacket. Shit. I still have his jacket. Oh well. Mine now. We flirted a lot too. I think it counts.

It was now Wednesday. Im working. Ugh. I gave the people their food and left. Two more hours. I got this. I saw Mike come in and I smiled. "Hey." I greeted.
"Hey. Is that my jacket?" He asked.
My cheeks got warm."Yeah. I couldn't find another one so I just threw it on. Sorry." I started taking it off, but he stopped me.
"It's fine. It looks kinda cute on you, anyways." He replied.
"Thanks." I whispered. He chuckled and smiled. He gave me a quick hug.
"What time do you get off?" He asked.
"Seven. Why?"
"I thought we could go to the cliff."
"Yeah. Sure." I replied as I wiped off a table.
"Cool. I'll pick you up."
"Mkay." I replied. He gave me another hug.
"Bye, Tone."
"Bye, Mikey." I replied. He smiled. We talked a lot since Sunday. Like a lot. He knows everything about me, but the secret, and vice versa.
He left and I smiled. I put the stuff away and washed my hands. I went to a table. "How is your meal?" A chorus of praises came.

It was seven. Finally. I went to the back and clocked out. My boss came over. "For Saturday or whatever day you did that shift." She handed me a hundred dollars and some.
"Thanks. Bye."
"Wait. Is that your boyfriend?" She pointed to Mike who was watching me from down the hall.
"Oh, I wish." I replied. I smiled and left. Mike gave me a hug once I reached him. "Hey."
"Hi." He replied with a smiled. He pulled back and we walked to his car. He opened the door and I got in, thanking him.
He got in on his side. "So, I'm gonna tell you tonight."
"Really?!" He exclaimed.
"Yeah. We've known each other for two weeks and we basically know everything about each other."
"You know everything about me." Mike replied as he pulled into the street.
"All you don't know is the secret and the stuff that goes with it." I said.
