It's the next day, i woke up to the sun blinding me. My mother opened the curtains, how annoying. I've not missed someone doing that. "Wakey wakey." she sung.

I groaned at her. I pull my duvet over my face. "Go away." i mumbled, "You to get up don't you have a job or something??" She asked. Oh shit i do. I've not been going a lot recently, but it's got alot of staff so.. I'm honestly lucky i haven't been fired.
"Oh yeah, i'll get dressed and go." i rolled my eyes. She smiled at me.

...

She finally left and i got dressed, putting on some normal clothes. My job is a barista so the apron is over there.

I put my shoes on and grab my phone, 10:53 am. I basically do everything then grab my car keys and head out. It's so sunny, when i get into my car it's literally boiling hot. Anyways i suck it up and get driving. I put my music on, the smiths obviously. This charming man comes on and all i can think about is Justin.

I'm almost there, the sun still blinding me. I should've worn shorts or something.

I pull up and park, it's not as busy as usual but then again it's the morning. I walk in and there's Carson, he's the manager. "Oh hey Trent!! long time no see." He's so enthusiastic about everything. I don't know how. "Hi." i reply, i look around and see basically the same staff we've always had, but this girl catches my eye. Who's she? must be new. "Hey Carson, who's that girl?" i point to her. "Oh her name Roxy!! She's new here." he smiles, Roxy? cool. I walk behind the counter and she looks at me. Pretty brown eyes i guess, i just give a faint smile. Don't wanna be rude after all.

Someone makes their way up to the counter and orders, "Can i please have a caramel latte?" she politely asks, i put that through the system and reply with "Yep that all for you?" and she nodded. Roxy is making the drinks but suddenly i hear a shout, "Ouch!! i burned myself." she yelled. I turn around quickly and go and help her, "Shit, run your hand under cold water." i take her hand and run it under the tap in the back. "You okay??" i asked. She nodded, her hand is shaking. I look through to the front and see that there's staff covering us. That's good.

...

She ran her hand under the cold water for a good 5 minutes before taking it out and patting it dry. "Thank you." She whispered, "Yeah of course!" i replied. I go back up front and take a couple more orders.

It's lunch time finally! i go and take food and head to the back, i'm glad im allowed to take food from here. When i sit down Carson sits next to me, "Hey, how's the new girl?" he smirks. I roll my eyes, "Yeah she's okay, she burned her hand. And she's got a name, Roxy." i say. I eat my sandwich, he begins to talk again as soon as my mouths full. Ugh. "Mind closing up tonight? i need to go home early. Wife's wanting help with the nursery.." he sighed. I nodded at him, i don't mind closing up. I mean i don't have anything to do anyways. He gives me a side hug "Thanks!" and skedaddles. I keep munching and then Roxy comes over, i look up at her and she smiles. She's really pretty. "Okay if i sit? i don't really have anywhere else to sit." I swallow my food, "Yeah sure." i answered.

She sits next to me and sighed, i turn and raise my eyebrow. What's up with her? "Thank you again for earlier. I can't believe i burned myself like that." She stuttered. "Oh it's okay! something interesting i guess." I chuckled.

By now it's 20:30 pm it's time to close up.

Since i'm closing up i steal a cookie from behind the counter, it's fine i'll pay tomorrow. "You allowed to do that?" Roxy smiled. I forgot she was here oops. "Oh yeah!!" I chuckled.

We both walk out the shop and i lock up, we're standing underneath the roof. It's raining. Heavily, i make my way to my car hurriedly to avoid getting soaked. When i get in and turn on the window wipers i notice that Roxy doesn't have a car here. Did she walk or something?

I honk my car horn and pull up next to her, "Want a ride?" i can't let her walk in this weather.

I open car door and she runs to get in, once she's in the door shuts. "Thank you." she says with relief. "Yeah no problem! where do you stay?" i question. I mean i need to know so i can drop her off... she tells me where, she lives in an apartment with her roommate. That's cool!

I begin to drive and turn on some music. I catch myself glancing over at her. Maybe if i catch feelings for her i won't think of Justin anymore? Yeah, that should work.

...

We arrive at the apartment and i park in the parking lot that's underground, that's so cool. I offer to walk her up and she agrees. We head to the elevator and she clicks floor 6, we stand there in silence for a bit. It was a little awkward.

The elevator dings and we walk out, as we're walking to her place she strikes conversation, "So, what's your name? i never asked." she asks me, "Trent." i reply, didn't say anything else. We keep walking. We reach her place, "Thank you for driving me here and walking me up!" She smiles, her smile is warm and comforting. I smile back at her as she walks up to her door and begins to open it. "Hey wait! would it be okay for me to get your number? we should hang out at some point!" i nervously ask. Her body shoots up straight as i say that, "Oh yeah of course!" She says before handing me her number. I thank her then we say goodbye.
