"Come ON! You seriously can not be that stupid." I heard from the front of the shop as I was cleaning up from my shift. My peak was interested as I heard Ashley apologizing about something and squeaking as the voice continued to snap and order to her what to do and how to do it. I heard Josh scoff, I looked over at him and he smirked.

"You got that Bro?" he asked and I nodded, Chris gave me a salute and turned back to his boyfriend of 4 years and whispering about something I couldn't hear, from the way Josh's face went red it was something dirty and definitely not work appropriate, honestly I've been waiting for the two to get married, it was 2015 now, they could get married now, but they both just seem to be waiting. For what I haven't figured out. Hell, Chris didn't even WORK here but he was constantly here because of Josh so it seemed like he did, I even made him help out when things were beginning to get fast paced around the shop, he gladly helped, even if Josh would just stop and stare at him the entire time, as if entranced. Pretty sure Josh gets off to his boyfriend doing work.

That. . .that is not something I want to think about.

I sighed and rolled my eyes as I wandered to the front of shop, I ushered Ashley away, letting her go on her break, as soon as she did she ran over to the blonde that had just walked in, they linked arms and giggled as they walked off, that must have been Sam -if I remember correctly Sam use to date. . . Who was it? Beth Washington I think, Joshua's sister, They were still friends? I think? He seemed happy for Ashley when she told us all the news. I never even knew Ash was a lesbian. Or bi? Maybe Pan? I don't know.- and turned towards the woman standing there scowling at me. She was an attractive girl, dark brown hair that barely touched her shoulders, pale peach skin that had a few prominent freckles here and there and thick, colored red lips. Her dark brown eyes seem to study me in thought before she nodded and sighed. She was wearing a nice dark gray translucent blouse that had a low neck and rolled up sleeves, a black tank top under with tight dark blue jeans and knee high black boots with short heels.

"How may I help you today?" I asked as nicely as I could, "Actually, before you answer, I would like for you to not make my co-workers cry? Like, that's sort of a low thing to do and I really don't want to ban you from my shop. You're an attractive girl and I'd love to see you in here more." when I finished the girl looked at me, seemingly offended. Obviously ignoring the attractive comment.

"Well, I'm sorry. . . " She looked down, "-Matthew. It's just that my order seemed simple enough, and she couldn't do one thing right. It's my right to get good service. I'm a regular here."

"A regular? I've never seen you here before." I said and she looked around, realizing she'd been looked right through and rolled her eyes.

"Okay. Maybe my friends have been here before, not me, the place was recommended. . . . Well, can YOU actually take my order right?"

"Let's see."

"Okay. . .first. I need 3 venti-- large, whatever the hell you have-- cups. Write 'Emily' on one, 'Jessica' on another, and 'Mike' on the last one." I nodded as I did so, humming, "Okay. For Emily; Iced Skinny Hazelnut Macchiato, Sugar-Free Syrup, Extra Shot, Light Ice, No Whip."I looked up in shock as she said it all quickly and went to work, doing it as fast as I could as she continued on, "For Jessica; An orange vanilla italian soda with no cream by whipped cream. And for Mike; well, all he wants is a damn black coffee. . ."

"I like Mike." I said and she looked up, raising an eyebrow and watching me work, "He's easier to make coffee for." I joked, knowing how lame the joke was and already regretting it. I was always pretty terrible at pick up lines. It's not until I really get to know a person that I can be really smooth. The girl, -Emily or Jessica?- gave me a small smile and rolled her eyes. I eventually got all three done and handed them to her. She looked over them and hummed in appreciation.

"How much?"

"For you. . . it's on the house." I winked at her and she looked down, trying to hide a smile as she picked up the pen off of the counter and leaned over, grabbing my hand and quickly writing something down and hurriedly wandered off with all three drinks, meeting a couple outside, the man had an arm draped across the blondes shoulders and both seemed to thank the girl.

I looked down at my hand and in neat handwriting was 'Name's Emily~' She had a small heart above the i. Nice little touch, 'Call me' down below it was a number. When I looked back up I saw her outside the window, she smiled at me and made a call me motion before she ran off, catching up with her friends.

I turned around and got a thumbs up from Josh who winked and made some nasty motions at me and I scowled, ordering him to take the front register as I went to the back where Chris was helping stock. He gave me an equally perverted grin and I glared at him, reminding him I could kick him out of the place at any moment. He immediately stopped and looked back towards the coffee beans.

I looked at my hand again and felt another smile bloom across my face.
