Alexis POV
So many things that I need to do, so little time. I rub my eyes and yawn, I look around the small familiar coffee shop, business is going really slowly today, I have my head propped up by my hand, if it wasn't for my hand, my head would be laying on the counter right now and I would be passed out. I feel so tired, last night there was a major storm and Luke was out of town, so I couldn't get any sleep as I also thought over and over about Hunter. I hear the bell that's attached to the door start ringing, I look up at the group of people that walk in, they all look like complete snobs, all wearing slutty outfits and WAY too much makeup, the "leader" looking of the group is smacking her gum and I roll my eyes as they approach me.
"Can I help you?" I ask trying to find my perky voice, it is no where to be found.. Too bad.
"Yes. Do you like.. Sell .. Like.. Really good coffee here?" The leader of the group asks.
"Of course we sell coffee. this is a coffee shope. I would say it's good. But everyone has different opinions." I say crossing my arms.
"I'll just take an iced tea." One of the girls standing behind her says. I nod and take a note pad to write the orders down.
"I will take a queen of hearts" another girl coming from behind her says, I write away at my note pad, mostly so I don't have to make eye contact with them.
Soon all 5 of the girls that are in the group have ordered, and now I'm just waiting on the "leader" to order. I see people start to line up behind these girls and they look very mad and impatient.
"I'm sorry, I'll be right with you." I tell the people standing behind the group of snobs, they nod and give me an eye roll, I nod understanding what they're rolling eyes at.
"Please, if you're going to order. Hurry up, there is a long line behind you and I still have to make the drinks" I let out a sigh and she glares at me.
"People like me and my family are what keep this little ugly business of yours open, so why don't you shut your little mouth!" She snaps at me and I usually wouldn't take things like this personally, but I'm running on a broken heart and an hour of sleep. I hold back tears and look down at the notepad.
"I guess I'll go make the drinks" I mumble and look up at them to see them all glaring at me, I turn around and walk back into the machine area, I start to make the drinks and let out a few years, as soon as they fall I wipe them quickly with the back of my hand.
"Hurry it up back there!!" I hear a girl say in a squeaky voice.
I carry out 2/5 of the drinks and sit them on the counter, I go back and carry out the other 3. I start to add up the money but before I can tell them how much it is, they take the drinks and leave the shop. I stare at them dumbfounded and then look at the next people in line, they are two middle aged women.
"Can you believe that..?" I sigh asking them.
"Girls like that should be taught a lesson." One of the women's tell me and I nod.
"Thank you sweetie, for actually being a young adult who takes care of yourself, unlike what I just witnessed" the other one tells me and I smile small at her kind words.
"I take pride in my modesty, I don't understand people like them. So what can I get for you wonderful ladies today?" I ask them with a smile, they order the drinks they want and I go back and make them, I carry them out and sit them on the counter and add up the money.
"How much was the groups before us?" They ask me and I look at them confused.
"20.00$" I say looking at the notepad and then back at them.
"And how much is ours?" They ask.
"8.00$" I say still confused.
"Here you go sweetie." One of the ladies hand me 28.00$, I take it, count it and look at them.
"Thank you.. Thank you so much, you have shown me hope in this society and made me realize there are still amazing people out there.." I smile at them and they smile wide back at me.
"You're very welcome honey, you keep up what you're doing, you're very good at it." They tell me before leaving, I thank them once again and put the money into the cash register.
Finally the end of the day arrives and it's time to go home and see Luke. I've been waiting all day for this moment. I clock out and then take off my apron, I go outside, get into my car and start the drive back to our apartment. The radio starts to play familiar songs which makes it impossible to not jam out to them as I drive.. So of course that's what I do. Like usual. Once I arrive at the apartment I walk inside and greet Luke who's laying on the couch editing a YouTube video.
"Hey baby" I say as he stands up and gives me a hug and kiss.
"How was your day?" He asks me rubbing circles into my back.
"Horrible" I sigh and he frowns looking in my eyes.
"Talk to me about it?" He asks me, genially concerned like always.
"Can I go get changed first?" I ask and he nods letting go of me, I kiss his cheek and scurry back to the bedroom, I pull out comfy clothing and change into it, as well as take my hair out from the bun it is in, and then I put it into a quick, easy, messy braid. After I finish getting comfy I walk back to where Luke is and I sit beside him, I make myself comfy by cuddling into his side, he wraps his arm around me and holds me. I begin to explain the type of day I've had. By the time I'm finished, I'm crying, I feel like I'm always crying lately.
"I think this calls for a lazy night then.." He suggests and I nod in complete agreement. He sits back Into the couch and I situate myself by laying my head in his lap and dangle my feet off the edge of the couch, up on the arm of the couch. We begin to watch some cheesy television show and by the time i know it, I'm asleep.
