*Jessa*

"Morning Greg," I said catching just before he got in the elevator. "So how was your fight last night?"

"Fine," he grunts, "Heard you actually went out last night."

"What...No," I laughed, "I was working at the bar. Vince was sick."

"More like he probably went to a party," He growled.

"Probably," I laugh pushing his shoulder, "Anyway, you still driving me home tonight?"

"Yes, don't be late or I will leave without you." he says.

"Yeah right, You wouldn't leave me." I call over my shoulder. "You love me."

"Not really." Greg said and I glanced back to see him smiling at me. I rolled my eyes and skipped into he café.

"How do you do that?" Jack asked as I walk behind the counter. "He only ever smiles at you."

"Maybe because I treat him like a normal person. He's not that bad." I laugh.

"He's scary." Jack sighs.

"No he isn't." I shake my head, "See you later."

"Good morning, Mr. Colby. What can I get you?" I smile at my boss when I see him walk out of the office.

"Nothing, and I thought I told you to call me by my name." he playfully glares at me. "Was that Greg I saw you talking too?"

"Sorry, Lance," I chuckle. "Yeah, he's on his way to work."

"I need to talk to him." Lance says.

"He'll come by later," I chuckle, "He's my ride home."

"Alright, you girls get to work." Lance playfully growls at us before walking back into his office.

"He's so weird." Jack mumbles before ringing up at customer. I roll my eyes before tying my aporn and checking the tables.

"Jack!" Camron yells running into the shop.

"Wha-ahh!" Jack starts before Camron picks her up. "Let me go, you crazy man." she yells.

"Never." Camron playfully growls but puts her down. "Hey Jessa."

"Hi Cammy," I smile and hand him his coffee as Jack walks off grumbling.

"I'll get her." Camron grins, "You take care of your customers." and runs to the back.

"Welcome to ANGEL'S COFFEE," I smile a man in a black hoodie. "What can I get you?"

"Black coffee," the man says.

"Anything else?" I asked.

"No," and slides a ten across the counter.

"Alright, hears your change and your coffee." I say handing them to him. He nods and walks off. "Rude much." I grumble before turning to the next customer.

"Jessa, take your break." Lance says walking up behind me.

"Finally, my feet are killing me." I exclaim playfully walk past him.

-----

"Jessa," Jack sighs as we head to the gym, "I was wondering if you would want to go out tonight."

"Nope," I say, "I was working all night last night and all of today. I'm going home and going to bed."

"What? Nevermind," Jack sighs, "Vince is such a lazy butt."

"Hey Greg," I walking over to his car. "We have to drop Jack off. Camron had a friend emergency."

"Get in." he growls. After dropping Jack off we stop and got takeout. "You gonna need a ride to work?"

"Nope," I smile as we walk up to my apartment. "I'm off tomorrow. Thanks for asking though."

"Later." Greg says before running down the hall to his apartment.

"Grumpy," I huff.

"Sissy," I thought I heard someone say. Looking around and when I don't see anyone I hurry into my apartment.
