Donut Love

Chapter 5

I knew I would get the hang of making At least the coffee sooner or later but it was kinda hard especially when people wanted special coffees, like the flavor shots I never knew how much to put in it. I was happy that tommy had so many patients when it came to me because even though it was into my second week of working at the donut shop I still made a lot of mistakes.

There was one big rule every coffee shop, restaurant, ice cream place, "the customer is always right" I knew when I first saw that sign hanging on the wall I was gunna have some trouble with that. I've never been much of a perfectionist but when it came to other people's coffee's you had to be very close to perfect, because "the customer was always right".

I was always nervous when I wen into work because I didn't want to make a big mess of things. In my mind I was focused on mostly two things the first one was learning how to do my job correctly, the second was to win Tommy's heart over. Though I had noticed that we had grown closer over the past couple of weeks, the twinkles in his eyes and his laugh made me smile and I could feel his warmth when he got close to me.

Today was Saturday and me and him were working the morning shift together with a few others who didn't really want to even be awake at that time. Me and tommy would have the same break and during break he seemed a bit strange, or nervous I didn't question him though. Then finally after a few minutes of silence he stood up out of the chair and got a little closer and asked me to dinner that night.

I was so excited I said yes to him and in my head I said to myself "I thought you would never ask me". After work I raced home and almost missed the driveway I was going so fast words couldn't explain how excited I was. I ran up to my room and scared my mother I was going so fast. She came up the stairs after me to make sure I was ok.

That's when I told her about tommy and that he was taking me to dinner and and I really wanted to look nice for him so she helped me pick out and outfit we chose black skinny jeans and a baby blue t-shirt with my black converse, I thought I looked good but I began to get nervous as the day went on and my mother gave me some of her tips like don't eat to fast and don't make yourself look like a fool.

The time came and he showed up at my front door he looked real good he wore a pair of white shorts and a navy blue polo for a top. His eyes were sparkling and his teeth were perfect and white as can be, all I could think about was I want a piece of him at that moment.

I felt like I was looking right at my prey and it was him. We got in his nice car it was a ford f-150 it was a pretty light blue an it had leather grey seating in it. When we were both in the car and ready to get going I turned and asked him where we were gunna go and he told me it was a surprise, that got me excited no one usually would be able to surprise me I was a very good detective about any surprises but I really couldn't figure out where he was taking me we were on the highway for a while, and went by so many different places and were in a whole new town I hadn't been to before.

I grew more nervous as we drove along but he still wouldn't tell me. Finally we pulled into a driveway an he had me get out of the car, he stayed by my side as we walked into the little red house and he called out for his mother and an older woman came to greet us in the living room.

I thought it was cute, him taking me to meet his mother but it was also a bit strange and I wished I wore something better than some old jeans and a t-shirt but I couldn't do much about it. All three of us sat down for dinner and his mom was telling me stories about when he was little and how cute his little bum was, she got me to laugh and all my nervousness out of my system. Tommy kept giving me a look and I couldn't figure out what he was trying to do if he was flirting or what.

Towards the end of the night we grew tired so he was gunna take me home I could barely walk I was so tired. I got out to the truck and opened the door and just stood there leaning against the seat still had my feet on the ground it was near midnight at the time, tommy came over to me and said for me to get up in the car I tried but I fell back and he caught me and picked me up off the ground and gently put me in my seat and buckled me in.

I wasn't very sure but I thought he had kissed my forehead while he buckled me in. Something warm pressed against my head and it was soothing. I woke up fully on the ride home and looked down his hand was close to mine but no touching so I grabbed his hand and entwined our fingers that gave him a smile when we got to my house he walked me to my front door and we talked for a few minutes and before he left he looked at me with him adorable eyes and then, we kissed. That made the night even better and sweeter.
