I got out of my car and walked into the coffee shop realizing it was my last day of work until my two week break for the Fourth of July.
I go to a Lake Fourth of July week, my best friend, Lacy, owns a lake house there, right on the water. I always came to South Carolina for that weekend, ever since I got my license. Now, I don't have to drive as far because it's only 2 1/2 hours for my apartment complex.
"Hello Peyton." Harry says nodding as I walk behind the counter. I smile and get in my cashier position.
There weren't any costumers in line. I look over at Harry who just put a frappe in the blender. To my surprise, he works really fast as he pours the pink concoction into a clear plastic cup an tops it with whipped cream. I concentrate on his hands and arms moving rapidly as he brews coffee, blends frappes, and warms pastries. I see tattoos peeking out from his black sleeve of his dark tshirt.

I ignore the sound as I keep watching Harry, smiling at his pink lips feeding on his expressionless face.
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding
My eyes break off from Harry's lips as I realize who is standing in front of me.
Louis stifles a laugh as he digs in his pocket for money. "Hi... Louis." I say looking down at the register.
"Hello." He says looking up at me, smiling.
"What can I get you?"

I throw my purse on the couch and walk into my bedrooms kneeling on the floor beside my bed. I pull out my suitcase from under the bed and start packing according to my packing list.
I finally check off all my clothing and toiletries items. I throw a tube of sun tan lotion into my bag and my stomach growls.
I'm almost finished packing my things for the Lake, I just needed to finish my toiletries bag and pack my other things.
I fix myself a turkey sandwich in a Ciabatta roll and sit down to eat while I watch Friends.(aka the best part of any day.) I nestle into the couch and clap along with the theme song.
I leave for the Lake tomorrow so I needed to finish packing tonight before I shower.
Once I finish eating, I pack the rest of my stuff, shower, and go to bed to get ready for the long car ride tomorrow.
Note: Sorry for the short chapter!!
