- "hey Ellie"

I hear a male voice say cheerfully like it wasn't 8 o'clock in the morning on a Monday. I look up and see a familiar face "Paul!, what's brings you in so early?" I ask knowing Paul usually comes in more towards the afternoon "oh just trying to get a early start, Mr Davison wants reports on his desk and I am way behind on schedule" I laugh inside remembering him telling me he will be fine yesterday after I insisted on him finishing them before the due date "anyway can I please get- " a plain black coffee, yes I know Paul" I cut him off while start making the coffee "you know me so well" he says as he walks off sitting in a near by chair waiting for his coffee. I turn my attention to the person waiting in line looking really stressed and anxious like he was in a rush, I look over at Emma who asks the man "hey can I help you?" In her barrister voice knowing she couldn't give two shits " Can I get a grande caramel frappe in a venti cup of ten pumps of hazelnut, three shots of espresso, no caramel drizzle, with whip on top?" much different to Paul's plain black coffee "sure that will be $5.30" "jeez" the man says rudely like we make the prices then reaches into his pocket collecting the money he owes to Emma, looking at the Tip For A Song sign  reaching out and placing a dollar into the jar immediately saying "hey, I just tipped you" knowing what is coming I call out Paul's name indicating his plain black coffee was ready, trying to block out Emma's sarcasm to the man "thanks Ellie" Paul says taking a long sip of his hot drink " what's her name?" He asks looking at my co-worker that is flipping the man off as he leaves without his drink "that's Emma sorry she's not usually like this" I explain as my boss comes out yelling at her with Zoey glued to her hip "well I should probably hit the road and get those reports done, see you later Ellie" Paul says turning to leave  "see you Paul" I say zoning back into the end of the conversation with my boss and Emma "now move your ass, you've got a line" I hear Emma groan as I approach my boss saying "hey, I was wondering if tommorow I could work the 11am shift since I will be late To my 7am shift?" I ask crossing my fingers "yea yea as long as your there from 11 to 3 then I don't really care" she turns from me going to check on her favourite employee Zoey "thank you so much" I exclaim. " why are you taking the later shift tomorrow?" Emma asks "oh I have my dad's funeral tomorrow morning and I can't really miss it" I say trying to not process what I'm saying so I don't break down like last night. "I'm so sorry I had no idea" Emma says immediately regretting asking "don't be sorry it's not like you killed him" Emma looks at me with sympathy but I refuse to make eye contact looking at the shoes approaching the counter "hello welcome to beanies coffee shop what can I get for you today?""Hey Gorgeous" my head shoots up, my eyes in shock wondering who would say such a thing, as I make eye contact with the stud who said this my eyes soften
