Where It All Begins

Chapter 1

Millie's POV
*Beep Beep Beep* I hit my alarm clock off and rolled out of bed slowly. "Why do I have to work at 6:00 am" I said to myself. I went into the bathroom and turned the shower on. I turned on the radio to 102.5 then got in the shower. After I took a shower I got dressed and dried my hair. I never put makeup on when I have work so I went downstairs and got a bowl of cereal. I have to be at work at 7:30 and it's 6:45 now. 7:20 rolled around so I grabbed my keys and left for work. The shop was only five minutes from my house. The shop is owned by my family so I actually enjoy going to work every morning. I pulled into work and as always my aunt had just gotten there. "Hey Millie" my aunt called out. I waved to her and walked to the door to unlock it. I love the smell of coffee but I never was a fan of drinking it. I went to the back and put my stuff away, grabbed my work clothes and threw them on. Minutes later my aunt walked in. "Where Cassidy" I asked her referring to my 17 year old cousin. "At home sick. She has the flu or something, I'm having her go to the doctor today to see what it is though" my aunt told me. "Oh jeez" I answered. Other people from my family who work here showed up and we opened the coffee shop for the day. I'm basically a waiter and cashier for take out. "How's our usuals doing this morning?" I said to our usual customers who come in every morning they can and have for 4 years now. I took there order then went back to the counter to help take out. I grabbed the coffee pot to make my usual way around to every table. I turned and a young guy bumped right into me causing me to drop the pot of coffe. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry" I said. "No no, it was my fault so I'm sorry" he said. "I should have looked where I was going" I told him kneeling down to wipe up the coffe. "Here let me help you" he offered. "Oh no please don't help I got it" I said. "It's my pleasure" he said as we finished cleaning up the mess. "Since I bumped into I'll get you whatever you want free" I told him throwing the paper towels away. "I'm still paying but can I get a regular coffee please" he said moving to the counter. "Sure thing" I said turning to make his coffee. I handed him his coffee and he trued handing me money but I refused. "I said whatever you want is free" I told him adding a little laugh. "I know thats why it's a tip for such a beautiful girl. See ya around" he said putting the money in front of me smiling and turned and left. I smiled and watched him as he walked out the door. What just happened? That guy was pretty attractive but I don't even know his name. I grabbed the money and shook my head and got back to work. What did he mean by "see ya around" I kept questioning myself all morning. Work went by fast and it was soon the end of my shift. I said bye to family then took off my work clothes, grabbed my stuff and went to my car to drive home. I got home and took a shower then ate dinner and went to bed thinking about what that guy meant.
