I was getting ready for my job at the coffee shop around the corner; I know not the best job. It's not Starbucks, but Benny's is a really decent place. I mean whatever helps pays the bills, I'm completely fine with where I work. I put on a black shirt, my black jeans, with my black converses. I look in the hallway and fix my hair into the perfect blonde quiff, I dye my hair when I'm bored of the color. I'll probably be bored of this color soon.  I grabbed my leather jacket and my keys off the coffee table and headed out.

It was a brisk winter morning but the cold usually doesn't phase me so anything I wear isn't really a problem. I walk down the street and around the corner towards my job. I walk inside smelling the new fresh batch of coffee and the smell of muffins. Something I love about this place is the heavenly smell is gives out.

" Hey, Zayn. Can you work the cash register ? " My co-worker Lilly asked I nod and headed behind the counter. Taking off my jacket to begin my day.

" Thanks I need to make these other orders. " She seemed stressed. I wonder where Niall is? He's supposed to be here.

" If you're wondering where Niall is he called in saying he had a hangover, so it's just us and the boss today. " It's like she's a mind reader!

I nod in understanding and focus on the customers that are standing in front of the register. " Hello, how may I help ? " I ask nicely even though deep I don't care about there orders.

The lady Sarah to orders her coffee and steps to the side a waits at the pick up station. This morning is definitely going to be slow.

...

" You only get a fifteen minute break Zayn, don't take long ! " My manager Ben yells as I walk outside and stand in front of the shop taking out my pack of cigarettes. It's a quarter past three and I'm stressed out of my mind! All morning people have been yelling out there orders and get mad when it's taking to long to be made. Like there's only two people working here! What the fuck, give us a break. Well to bad for them there's no refund policy. I should suggest to Ben in hiring a forth person.

I lite the stick and placed it to my lips. A couple of people walked past me and into the store. Some girls giving flirtatious gestures, in which I completely ignored, like the didn't peek my interest. I was just to annoyed to care. After a couple more drags I felt myself relax, when I finished I threw it on the ground and stomped on it. I was about to walk back in just as a customer was walking out, as we bumped into each other causing her coffee to slip on her clothes.

" Ow ! Hot ! Hot ! " She said stepping back an examining the stain.

" Oh shit ! I'm sorry, please don't tell my manager I'll buy you another coffee. " I offer. That's when she looks up and smiles lightly. Her creamy skin looking flawless the way the sun reflected on her, her brown eyes shinning ever so brightly, and her long dark chocolate lovely hair looking ever so bountiful and voluminous.

" It's okay, I'll just take up that offer another time. Right now I should go home and change. " She said.

" Ugh, wait, let me give you my jacket. " I say rushing past her and grabbing my jacket from the back. I quickly make my way to her and gave her my jacket, emptying my pockets out as I do so.
