*ring ring*

"Dammit." I snoozed my alarm. Might as well get up. Heres another long day of taking orders..

I quickly changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and ate breakfast. After eatting breakfast, I drove to Starbucks. Once I arrived, I walked in and a warm wave of heat brushed against my face. Starbucks is always so lively and warm.

"MADDIE!!!!" Grace smiled.

"Morning." I laughed.

"Good morning to you too!!!" She went back to making the drinks.

"Tapping you in Madison." Cheryl said and went to the back. I quickly tied the apron around my body and began to take orders.

After taking 6 orders, a tall figure came in. I looked up and recognized him. It was Luke Hemmings. He was pretty cute and came in almost every day for a cup of coffee. Its nice seeing him. He's 6'4, handsome, blonde quiff, and a black lip piercing.

"Hey Maddie." He smiled showing his dimples. He looked at me and I began to blush.

"Hey.... Luke. Uhhh what can I get cha?" I stuttered.

"Can I have a grande iced coffee, sweetened and with milk?"

"Offff course. You betcha." I was shaking while I tapped the buttons. He payed and I gave him change. I grabbed his cup and wrote Luke and drew a penguin next to it.

"Smoooooth." Grace laughed as I handed her Luke's cup. She went back to make his drink.

"Shutup." I whispered while laughing.

"I have a grande iced coffee, sweetened and with milk for Luke the Penguin." Grace yelled.

"Grace!" I scolded. She stuck out her tongue and I quickly looked at Luke. He looked surprised and a little embarrassed while grabbing his drink.

"Sorry! I drew a penguin, I didn't actually write "the penguin." I half smiled.

"Its cute. Thanks." He smiled and walked away. Maddie get yourself together. I blame my hormones.

"Cuttteee." Grace smiled and continued making drinks. I swear she's always embarrassing me in front of Luke. But sometimes it's okay.

"Hi. So sorry for the wait. What can I get for you?" I blushed it off.

Why do I have to blush at everything?

After work I talked to Grace for a little bit and asked her to come over for dinner. "You should come over for dinner!" I smiled.

"Oh no thankyou. It would be too much of a bother." She replied.

"No it wouldn't! My parents love you. Yesterday my mom yelled at me and if it wasn't for the reason that I was with you, I would've been in big trouble. So thankyou. And besides, you should sleep over. We're off tomorrow."

"Fine fine. How about you get home first and let me go grab my stuff." She walked to her car and jumped up and down. Grace loves sleepovers and I love having them with her because she's always so fun. She knows all the activities and how to make it flow. If I ever threw one it would probaly be so awkward.

"Sounds like a plan." I grinned and skipped to my car. I love it when Grace sleeps over because we talk a lot about many things.

I got in my car and drove home. I walked in and asked my parents for permission to have Grace over for dinner and if she could sleep over tonight. I guess you can call me unplanned and all about the last minute asking but who am I kidding? It's Grace we're talking about.

"Are you kidding? Of course! We love Grace! She's like family. She is welcomed over anytime." Dad said and mom nodded, agreeing.

"Alright! Sounds like a plan! I'm gonna quickly make sure my room is cleaned and she'll be over soon. She just has to grab her clothes."

++++++++++++++++++++

*ding dong*

"Gracieee." I cheered like a little baby. I welcomed her in, grabbed her suitcases, and went upstairs to my room. After, I came back down and she was taking off her shoes, settling in.

"Grace!! Lovely to see you again." Mom and Dad hugged and greeted her.

"You too Mr. and Mrs. Joyce! I missed you guys." She hugged them back. Talk about that one friend that every parent wants you to have.

"Make yourself at home. Dinner will be ready in an hour." They disappeared back into the kitchen.

"So? What do you want to do?" I asked Grace as we walked to the living room and sat on the couch.

"Its up to you." She smiled and played with her hair. "Oh yeah! Lets talk about your boyfriend, Luke."

"Whaaaat? He's not my boyfriend. And hush! I don't want mom and dad to hear. I just find him attractive."

"Uhhh... Talk about you today when you saw him! You were shaking like crazy and you couldn't even say your usual line." She laughed while mocking me.

"Oh shut up. I was nervous! How can you talk to him when he looks so damn hot!" I blurted out. Gracie had a point. When it comes to work I say the same lines over and over again (well I sometime change it up so it doesn't get boring) and still, I manage to mess up when it comes to taking Luke's order.

"Madison Joyce! Would you look at that. You are officially in love." Grace announced.

"I'm not in love. He's just so hot, but nice, and cute, and has a boopable nose." I giggle over the image of his nose. There has been so many times where I image myself booping his nose and if I wad ever his girlfriend, I would have an advantage.

"Thats being in love genius." Grace flicked my forhead.

"DINNERS READY!" Mom yelled. We quickly stood up and raced to the kitchen. Gracie loves my mom's cooking.

++++++++++++++++++

"Oh my god. I am so full." I said after collasping back on the couch. We finished eating dinner and now we look like hot air balloons. We literally stuffed our mouths.

"Me too." Grace agreed in pain.

"Oooh! Lets do makeovers and paint our nails!" I suggested for the first time. Is that what everyone still do? Or is it just me?

"We're not 10 Maddie!" She laughed. Guess not...

"Hey! You are never to old to do makeovers and paint your nails." I smiled, standing up and pulling her upstairs.

We went to my bedroom and I brought out the supplies. I'm one of those people who never have naked nails. Well except once when my 3rd teacher called me too young to have my nails painted and nearly scared me half to death by telling me that my nails will fall off. For god's sake I was in 3rd grade! Thank you Ms.Greene. "What color are you painting your nails?"

"Probaly black you?"

"I'm gonna do white." I picked out the white bottle and did a few coats on my nails.

+++++++++++++++++++

"Grace, I'm tired. Lets just watch movies and go to bed." I yawned and rubbed my eyes. It was a long day and I had so much fun with Grace but I still need my beauty sleep.

"I agree." Grace helped me put all the supplies away and clean up. After that, we changed, brushed our teeth, and got comfy in bed. We watched netflix until both of us passed out.
