Mcchain

I open my eyes it’s my alarm going off. 8:18 AM already? Ugh. What a horrible dream! I yawn and open up swindlze, a dating app, as I begin swiping. I see Bryan, the man from my dream. In my dream, Bryan looked different than he did in his photos. I’ve never physically met Bryan, although he is very attractive with his dark brown hair, olive skin, and brown eyes.
I couldn’t shake the image of him hugging the prettiest female I’ve seen. I don’t understand why Bryan was on a dating site if he was seeing someone. I shook my head. It was just a dream, after all. “Millie, it’s time to get up,” my roommate, Mia, shouted. I look at my phone, still on Bryan’s dating profile, and I swipe right.
“I’m up, unfortunately,” I say to Mia. “Another day, another dollar!” I holler at Mia. I put my feet on the floor, uncovering myself. I stand up and head to the bathroom.
Mia stops me before I enter the bathroom. “I’m off to work, Millie! Have a good day, see you later.” I wave bye, and she heads out the front door. I sat on the toilet and looked at my phone. Bryan and I matched! I smile and finish up in the bathroom. After washing and drying my hands, I decided I should get dressed and message Bryan after.
I grabbed a teal top out of the closet a long with a pair of jeans and socks.
BUZZ
I looked at my phone, and Bryan sent me a message on Swindlze.
‘Heyy, what’s up?’
I smile and text back ‘Heya, not too much here, getting ready for work. I have to train another worker to manage cashier today. U?’
He replied ‘At Mcchains by chance? If so, I’m who ur training!’
My eyes widened as I read his text. No way! I smile, feeling giddy inside. I texted back ‘c u then!’ I quickly put on my outfit and head out the door.
As I enter Mcchains’ I notice a blue car I’ve not seen before in employee parking. I smiled to myself, knowing it was Bryan. I park beside his car and walk inside.
“Will you be training me today?” I hear as I enter the door. I look towards Bryan.
“Yes, I will be training you today,” I said shyly.
Bryan smiled, his eyes lighting up. “Perfect!”
Bryan and I walk through the door and to our cars. I smiled at Bryan, feeling butterflies as I stared in his eyes. “How would you feel about grabbing some lunch with me?” Bryan said, looking me up and down. “After all, we matched. I smiled and had to prevent myself from performing a jig “I’d really like that, Bryan.. Where would you like to go?”
Brian smiles a cheesy grin. “How about Mcchains?”
I nodded in agreement. “Sounds good to me!”
Bryan grabbed my hand.
“Great! I heard Mcchains has the cutest cashier,” said Bryan with a wink.
