"Back to our usual setup, I see?"
"Back to work for me."
"This time, I get to join you behind the counter."
"You do?"
"I'm inviting myself over."
Ethan swung his leg up on top of the counter, almost knocking a box of Godiva chocolate (they sell those at my local Barnes & Noble so shut up if yours doesn't have one) onto the floor.
"Ethan... There's a gate door at the end of the counter."
"Well the end... of the counter... is fourty feet... away..."
"You're going to hurt yourself."
"No I'm— aha!"
Ethan sat on the check-out counter and smiled as Travis sunk below the counter in embarrassment.
"Ethan, my manager is glaring at me..."
"Eh."
Ethan hopped down from the counter and slumped down beside Travis.
"That was fun."
"Kill me."
"Nah, you'll be fine."
"I was almost on his good side though..."
"There's nothing to worry about, I'm sure he'll get over it.
Ethan kissed Travis's forehead and stood up.
"Chin up, gorgeous. We've got books to bag."
