Allison's Desire

Chapter Seven

I woke up the next morning, early as I could and found out that he had already gone.

I dressed and made my way to work.

"Sorry I'm late" I said to Stella as I saw her smile at me.

"don't worry about it." She smiled like she knew something was up.

I went into the dressing room to put on my apron when Stella walked in.

"Ben told me of you accepting to be his girlfriend. Thank you for loving him"

Thank you for loving him.... that was the first time it was said out loud. It felt so surreal making it as real as it could get.

"I do love him" I said trying to hide a blush.

She hugged me.

"he looked like a child on Christmas when he entered. He couldn't shut up about you telling him yes."

I blushed harder.

Stella acted more like his big sister than his worker most times and it was funny to me since she looked barely older than he was. Maybe 27 at most while he was 25.

"call me anytime he fucks up and I would kick his ass" she whispered making me laugh.

"You'll just get fired"

"I'll love to see him try "

I got dressed in my apron and walked out to take over my shift.

I walked out and got busy immediately as the customers did not seem to be reducing

At some point, even Ben had to come help out.

I couldn't keep the kiss out of my mind and ended up ruining a person's order.

"Sorry, did you put sugar in this?" the customer said looking at me with horror.

"Yes, you said two cubes of sugar and one cupcake" I looked at her confirming what she thought she had said.

"I said no sugar! Are you stupid?" the customer yelled.

"I'm sorry, I'll give you another, free on the house and an extra day if you decide to come back another time" I said trying to compensate.

"forget it, you are so stupid you might get it wrong again" she said sizing me up and down.

"You know, you got that part wrong" someone said from behind me, it was Grace.
