I'm a nervous wreck.

My Shift is almost over and I feel like I am going to vomit.

You're going to be here in a little while.

The door opens and my heart stops as I look up.

Disappointment floods me as I see it is just my co-worker coming in to take over my position for the night.

His friend is with him.

I groan as I realize it is the clumsy friend and shake my head.

I watch as he trips over nothing and lands on the floor face first.

My boss gasps and runs around the counter to the clumsy idiot.

I watch in amusement as my coworker walks past the two as if it is the most normal thing he sees,

I can't do this.

As I start actually considering ditching, my boss comes in.

"He's here."

I freeze and I feel my breathing start to quicken.

I vaguely hear the closing of the door and I am suddenly engulfed into a hug.

My boss gently runs his fingers through my hair.

"Shh...it'll be okay. You're an amazing, beautiful person and that is a lot coming from me, cause let's face it. I'm the most beautiful bitch here."

I can't help but laugh as I pull away from him to look at him.

He smiles as he caresses my cheek with his thumb.

"He likes you a lot, you know? It is quite obvious."

I frown and look down.
