Work was slow. I washed the five dogs I needed to bathe before daycare started and no one was coming i to drop off or pick up yet. I was filing papers when someone finally came in. I looked up to see a blonde woman. The woman from the pizzeria with Lucas; Maggie. She was carrying her dog, a little dachshund, up to the table.

"Hi, how may I help you?" I greeted, pretending not to recognize her.

"I need to drop off my dog, Missy." She put the dog down, letting it run around the store front.

"Okay, can you fill this out?" I handed her a piece of paper for her contact information and some things about her dog. The little pup came up to me while Maggie filled out the paperwork. Missy looked up at me and jumped up on my lap. She was a small dapple gray color. She looked a lot like my childhood dog, Sweetie Pie. I was petting Missy while Maggie finished up.

"Oh God, I'm sorry." Maggie apologized. "She's very friendly around people."

"Well I'm not complaining, I like her."

"She isn't so nice with other dogs though."

"That's fine, she can go out separately and spend one on one time with someone."

"Okay, good. I'll pick her up next week. I'm going on a cruise with my boyfriend." I almost raised an eyebrow wondering how Lucas got that money.

"I'm jealous." I laughed politely.

"Yeah, you should be." Maggie's tone changed. "Don't ever flirt with Lucas again, you slut. And I don't want you near my dog while she's here." I widened my eyes at her and was going to ask what she meant when Kelsie stepped in from the back.

"Ah, Kelsie, can you please take Missy to the back and set her up?" I handed Missy to Kelsie, turned back to Maggie, and plastered on my customer service smile.

"Thank you for stopping by, we'll make sure she's comfortable. Have fun on your trip!" Maggie knocked on the top of the counter that separated us, glared at me, and walked out.

"I don't like her." Kelsie said. "Gave me a bad feeling."

"She's fucking crazy." I muttered, thinking of the stories Lucas used to tell me about her. Kelsie snorted and took Missy to the back. My phone buzzed in my pocket, so I took it out. It was a text from Sean. I forgot that I gave him my number last night.

Sean: I hope works going okay. I heard knocking on your door earlier. I don't know who it was. Sorry for being a creep.

Me: Thanks for being a creep, you creep

Sean: Says the girl who probably knew every detail about me back in the day

Me: I think you subject yourself to that when you become a famous Youtuber. That's your fault not mine

Sean: It's my good looks

Me: Well yeah, why else would I have a MASSIVE crush on you?

Sean: Glad I'm not the only one

Me: You have a crush on yourself?

Sean: I meant having a crush on you

I put my phone down for a second. I was teasing in that text. Flirting, yes, but also teasing. Did he know that I was kidding? Is he joking around as well? Ah fucking hell.

Me: We are adults, we do not have "crushes"

Sean: Okay, so I have a MASSIVE like on you

Me: What the fuck, shut up

Sean: Like a boss

Me: thanks for bringing me back to 2009

Sean: Anything for you bb

Once I got home, I took a shower and started to sort of regret not telling Sean that he kissed me. I wanted to be honest and I'm sure he'd make some sort of joke or apologize. But there's also a chance he'd be embarrassed and not want to talk to me again. Should I text him about it? I should tell him to his face.

Not thinking straight, really just wanting to get this off my mind, I got out of the shower, wrapped my hair in a towel and a towel around my body and ran to Sean's door. He opened up quickly and his blue eyes widened.

"Callie, come in!" He pulled me in and shut the door.

"Seanyoukissedmebutitwasn'treallyakissandyouweredrunkandI'msorryIdidn'ttellyousooner." I said really fast. We stood in the small hallway and he was very confused by the look on his face.

"What happened?" I also realized he was slightly blushing. Which reminded me I am dripping wet and in a towel that went to my mid thigh.

"I, um, sorry." I shook my head, feeling the towel around my hair heavy and almost fall over. "That night you threw up, you kissed me right before." His mouth was still slightly open as he was processing what I said.

"Was it like this?" He grabbed my face before I could react and kissed me. An actual kiss this time. He was gentle and soft, just lightly sucking on my bottom lip. And it was over before I could kiss him back.

"I think this time was better."
