Starbucks Run [Joc]

It's 1 p.m. work starts at 2. It takes a while to get to work from where you live, maybe if you buy everyone in the office some frappes, they'll let you off the hook. You make a quick run to Starbucks and pull out the old order sheet from last time. 

"Okay this sounds about right." you say to yourself. 

You walk into the Starbucks with the order sheet in one hand and your purse in the other. You place your orders and take a seat nearby. The guy in line behind you pulls out a sheet of paper and starts ordering his drinks. He then sits at the table next to you. 

"You're late for work too?" you ask him. 

"Actually no. I voluntarily came to Starbucks to order drinks for everyone." he says. 

"Was that sarcasm?" you say. 

"Nope. Are you late for work?" he says. 

"Yup, but 12 drinks will save me." you say. 

"And 15 drinks will help me win." he says. 

"My name is (y/n)." you finally say, sticking out your hand. 

"Joc. Joc Pederson." he says and shakes your hand. 

"So do you play sports or something?" you ask him. 

"I'm a professional baseball player for the Dodgers." he says. 

"Ohh, nice." you say. 

"Yup, so instead of being late casually and paying the consequences, you thought it'd be okay to be late with Starbucks, so you'd be forgiven?" he asks you. 

"That's what I'm hoping for." you say. The barista calls out your name. 

"Well I think the barista is waiting for you." he says. 

"Joc." the barista calls out. 

"I think the barista is calling you too." you say with a smile. 

"Well here, good luck on your game today, and maybe you can give me a call sometime." you say pulling out a piece of paper and handing him your number. 

"I'll be looking forward to it." he says. You both get up and grab your drinks. 

"Well this is harder than I thought." you say out loud. 

"Agreed, I have 3 more drinks than you do. So you shouldn't be complaining!" Joc says to you. 

The two of you struggle trying to think of ways to take all of your drinks to your cars. 

"I have an idea." you say. 

"What is it?" he says. 

"I'll help you carry some of your drinks, if you help me." you say. 

"It won't hurt to try that." he says. 

With ease, the two of you successfully take your drinks to each other's car. 

"Yay for team work!" you say giving Joc a high five. 

"I think you might be late." he says. 

"You think?" you say. You check the time, it's 1:56, "Yup I'm late." you say. 

"I'll drive with you to your work place and I'll explain to them." he says. 

"No, it's okay, your drinks will be all nasty by the time you return to your teammates." you say to him.

 "Alright, I'll text you later." he says. He embraces you before getting in his car. You get in your car and head to work, you may be super late, but it was completely worth it.
