Kiss me, Not

The Tutor Part 2

"Hey!"

Lexa turned around and saw Echo grinning at her happily, "Hey." she greeted back, slamming the locker door softly.

"I didn't see you last Monday," the girl with brown eyes complimenting her brown-blonde hair, mentioned casually taking out her uniform from her locker. Lexa smiled and tugged her uniform properly.

"Yeah, Nyko told me they didn't need anymore staff on that day, so here I am,"

Lexa watched Echo nodded thoughtfully as she pulled out her shirt over her head, making the brunette turn right away, she heard a chuckle, "you don't have to turn away, it's pretty normal here. You're a soccer player right? I heard from Nyko, you probably have seen more half naked bodies than I do."

The girl wheeled around facing Lexa, "Come on. I'll have to teach you a lot of things," linking her arm around the girl's.

As they exited out of the door behind the counter, Lexa watched Echo strode to the right side and picked up a bus tray and handed it over at the girl's lengthy arms.

"Come on," pulling the counter top and let Lexa out first. "First thing that you're gonna do is to clear all the dirty side plates and coffee cups. Here," she casually walked up to the table by the corner and picked up a teaspoon and an empty coffee cup and placed it in an organised fashion on the tray. "Understood?" Lexa nodded and gripped the tray tighter, "Good. Off you go."

After spending almost half of her time clearing plates and coffee cups, Lexa found herself actually enjoying her time. Talking here and there with customers who made a casual conversation with her. She even recognised some of her schoolmates giving her the looks and whispering to each other but she couldn't careless, as she strolled over by the counter and placed the full bus tray filled with empty wrappers, utensils, cups and mugs.

"Hey, Lexa!"

The brunette turned around and found the familiar girl sitting at table 4, came walking towards her.

"Hey," she nodded back, giving back a small smile.

"Here," handing over a piece of paper with a line of numbers on it, Lexa raised her eyebrows at the girl, "Call me maybe...," the girl smirked and winked at her, as she exited out of the cafe.

The girl just shook her head and stowed it inside her from apron pocket, "Well! I didn't know you were so good at picking up girls. You should teach me!" Echo jested, giving the brunette a sly smile.

Lexa rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not interested," pulling up the counter top and went inside the kitchen. When she reemerged, Echo pulled her into a huge complicated machine.

"Well that's sad that you're not interested in girls?" Her colleague suddenly blurted, she couldn't help but noticed that her brain suddenly popped a familiar girl's image.

"Nope. Not interested in romance or what kind," she uttered, trying to swat the thought out of her head.

Echo hummed, as she pulled out a scoop and placed it on the brunette's hand, pulling her over a tall machine with fresh coffee bean on a funnel like compartment and into a smaller cylinder compartment filled with powdery texture, "This is the coffee grinder. Place the scoop over here," pointing at the circular tube tube jutting out, helping at the same time to secure the scoop in place, "then we flick the switch. Why is that?"

When Lexa pulled the scoop out it was already filled with powdered coffee, she was amazed by this little things, "I just want to focus in school, graduate and get out of this hell hole."

Echo hummed in agreement, "Well I hope to change your mind," watching the brunette looking back at her intently, Echo gave a warm smile and ushered her, "Now, come here. This is the coffee maker. You placed the scoop here again, secure it and press this button," Lexa did what she was asked and soon enough the coffee cup was filled with black coffee. She smelled it and smiled, "That's espresso. There's more complicated things to learn besides from the basic... But hey!" Echo shrugged, "We've got time," letting out a wink.
