EMILY'S POV
date- October 6th, 2015

As I get ready, my nerves grow slightly. Will Darla really like me? Will my coworkers like me? What about the customers? Am I going to make a fool of myself? I don't recall ever working a day in my life. This is all so new to me.

As I looked in the mirror one last time, I nodded and told myself that I could do it.

Since I got up a half an hour before Shawn, I made him and I bacon and eggs.

When he came out from his room, he must've just got up. He had shorts on and his hair was all messed up and fluffy, and he wasn't wearing a shirt. His arms looked very nice and I couldn't help but smile. Sorry, I just find arms attractive to an extent. Like, how his arms are muscular kind of, oh, I don't know. But Shawn always looked adorable in the morning, with his sleepy face and his hair everywhere. Plus, his morning voice is also absolutely adorable.

"Good morning Emily," he says, and sat down. I give him his plate and he looked up at me with a smile.

"Thank you, but you know you didn't have to make this?" He says, and I nod.

"I know, but I got up earlier than I should've. Plus I was hungry," I said and laughed, and he laughed as well.

I sat down across from him and ate.

"So are you nervous?" He asks, and I nod.

"Don't be. Everyone's so sweet. Trust me," he says, and I nod again.

He thanked me for the food and went to go get ready in his room. In less than ten minutes, he came out fully ready. His hair was done and he was dressed. I really wish it took me less than ten minutes to get ready, but it takes me anywhere from a half an hour, to an hour and a half, depending on what I'm doing and where I'm going.

It's now around eight thirty, and it takes around fifteen minutes to get there. That leaves us fifteen minutes to check in, and plus I'd rather be earlier today.

When we got there, I stood outside of the door and exhaled deeply.

"Are you still nervous?" he said in a low deep behind me, and I turned around, and nodded.

He walked up close to me and grabbed both of my hands, and squeezed gently. Shawn kissed the top of my forehead, and gently placed his hands on each side of my face. 

"I swear you'll do fine," he whispers and I nod slowly. He hugs me tightly before letting go, and he opens the door to the shop.

The bell rings and a few seconds later, Darla comes out with the biggest smile on her face.

"Hello Shawn! Emily, hello!" She smiles, and comes over to hug me.

I become more relieved after this, and she takes us to the back of the room. Shawn gives me a hug and leaves, so it's just Darla and I.

"Here's your uniform and your name tag. Hm, let's go through the regulations now," she said, and I smiled as she showed me what to do.

It's now almost the end of the day. Work has been okay so far. It will more than likely get easier, it was just a little stressful, learning how to work the coffee machines and the recipes.
