"oh shit I'm so sorry!" I said as I cleaned up the shattered glass laying on the floor but a small dark skinned figure walked over and instead cleaned it up, she doesnt even work here the fuck? She thinks she can come in my store and do my job? I don't think so,
"hey uhh-" I stutter forgetting I'm a total Introvert, why did I even bother saying anything? She looked up at me in confusion, does she think I'm being rude? Or is she madly inlove with me? wait why would I think that, I'm straight.
"sorry darling, I thought you needed some help.. I'll go" no no no no, oh shit that was my one chance, I don't know what at but it was, right lily you got this just, speak?
"no, it's okay! im sorry, I didn't mean to sound or.. look rude" I said silently screaming at myself in my head.
"oh, darling sorry I must be overthinking!"
omg.. why is she kind of like, cute? in a platonic way! she's, cute. And her texas accent, so.. sexy. what am i thinking?! im straight. And I have a boyfriend.. but her lips they are so.., "NO!" I screamed OUT LOUD. "I- uh- Im sorry, I'm gonna go to the uh toilet! Yes the toilet." I ran off and immediately ran outside and grabbed a lighter. Trying to hide the tears in my eyes, "why am I so damn dramatic..?" I say quietly, trembling, shaking even. I just, want to, go home. I hate this job so much, like I love the café, but my manager is just so... weird, with me specifically. speak of the devil. My manager walked in, her long blonde hair really says it all and her face expressions, she's a bitch.
"hey girl! Hey mind cleaning this up instead of smoking, thank youuu!" she says snarling as she purposely dropped a glass on the floor, I've had enough with this broken glass. And enough with sheila (manager) like girl your only in that position because your sugar daddy hired you. I should stop talking.

A few days later.

Another so called normal day for me, I was cleaning up Halloween decorations since its November 8th and employees here are soooo lazy. I was just putting the pumpkins to the storage room until a woman came in, a small dark skinned figure. I never realised how beautiful she is before, well I did but.. I'm talking about the chest area, what am i thinking I need to really stop being weird I have a wonderful boyfriend!
"oh! hey lily, get me a white coffee would you darling?" she says, but how does she know my name? Oh my nametag-
"uh-uhm- sure, I'll be right uh- back?" I'm so awkward. I gave her, her white coffee and obviously she appreciated it, as she should that took time the damn machine wasn't working. "£1.35." I say as she places down £10, "uh- change is £9.55"
"Keep it darling" she winks.
I see red. She's messing with me and I hate it but love it, I hate it I hate it I HATE IT. but.. no. I hate her. I hope she never comes back, I stomped off wishing her the worst under my breath, "have a nice day!"
... look, I don't want to get fired I have to be nice. "The name is ophelia" she shouts so the WHOLE WORLD CAN HEAR, just what she wants. As expected.

She actually just wants lily to like her back romantically she doesn't mean to tease her.

Lily is quite the overthinker.
