Addison's P.O.V
7:49
"Addison! Can you take over in the cashier? I have to leave, it's an emergency!"
"Yeah, ok!"
"Oh, and the blueberry muffins are on sale today, 25% off!"
"I know!"
I put the broom back in its spot and watched as Brian made his way out the door, he must've really had to beg Greg to let him leave. I pulled the strings of my apron to make it tighter and rushed to the cashier, only to be welcomed by a whole line of customers who were waiting patiently.
7:51
"Sorry for the wait Ms, Brian had to leav-"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. Now get me one of those whole-grain cookies and uh... let's see... an Espresso" she said, cutting me off mid-sentence.
"Sure thing"
I turned around to see that all of the coffee machines were un-available, and to be honest, I should've seen that one coming. It was extremely busy today at 'Mugs Coffee'. I opened one of the cupboards and pulled out the Moka Pot and began to make my one of my specialities. I also grabbed a fresh cookie on the way back to register.
"Here you go Ms, that's $7.45 all together." I said, handing her the brown paper bag with her cookie inside and her Espresso.
She looked at me and started rummaging through her black, leather handbag while trying to keep her elbow on her ear to prevent her phone from falling.
"Yes, yes! Cancel the meeting and move it to Wednesday next week, I don't have time for all of this! No tell him not to, and inform Lidia to send the papers to my office by this afternoon! Yes! I'll be there in about 20 minutes!" I winced at her screaming.
The lady zipped her handbag shut and threw a $50 bill onto the counter.
"Keep the change and use it buy a new pair of shoes please! They're more ripped than the ripped jeans that your wearing right now!", and with that, she walked out of the store leaving me in shock.
Well damn.
I served the next few customers until Sophie came out from the back and flopped down on a spare chair.
"Can we swap duties Adds?" she groaned, while rubbing her stomach.
Sophie's 3 months pregnant with her ex-boyfriend's baby. That little rat left with no contact after she had told him the news, leaving Sophie a single mum with heaps of financial problems and in dilemma with her family.
"Sure Soph! There's not many customers at the moment anyway, so you should be fine!" I replied, not bothering to tell her that I had already swapped duties once with Brian, since she looked really sick.
I got up and grabbed the notepad off the counter and stood by the reception, waiting for someone to raise their hand for assistance or for a customer to walk in.
8:06
Where was he?
I reached out and grabbed a black pen, ink nearly fading, and pulled my top down while dusting off the little bit of flour that was stuck on it.
Ding! Ding!
Finally!
I watched him, like every other day, as he walked into the room, running his fingers through his hair on the way. He stopped in front of a table in the corner and sat down, while I took in his appearance. Today he was wearing tight, black, ripped jeans, and a 'Misfits' t-shirt, exposing the collection of tattoos, which were scattered all over his arms and a few on his chest.
He pulled out his phone, notebook and laptop from his backpack, while looking around the café until his eyes landed on me. He smiled and raised his hand.
"Hey!" he grinned while trying to read my name tag. I would always watch him from the back as he ate or typed away on his computer. I've never actually served him before.
"Hey! It's Addison by the way." I said back.
"Anything on special?" he asked, his hazel eyes scanning the menu but then landing back at me. Oh! So he's British!
"Yeah, the blueberry muffins are on sale today." I replied, clicking the top the top of the pen and getting ready to scribble down his order.
"Ok, I'll have one of those and maybe even a chocolate brownie, and also my regular choice of coffee."
"Oh, ah... yeah, I actually don't know your regular sir, it's normally Sophie who serves you." I replied, cheeks turning pink in embarrassment.
"It's fine love, and yeah, I don't recall a pretty brunette taking my orders." he smirked, causing my cheeks to flush even more.
"I'll have the cappuccino with extra sugar, that's also my regular by the way."
"Yes sir, coming right away."
Just as I was about to turn around, his hand caught my wrist, sending shivers down my spine.
"Just call me Zayn love. The word sir just makes me feel old, I'm still a 22 year old with a lot to live and shit to get into." he chuckled, letting go of my wrist.
Zayn. I've never heard that before, but it doesn't stop me from melting. It just makes me melt even more.
"Ok, sure thing, Zayn"
Moving the bangs from the front of my face out of the way, I hurried back to the kitchen and placed the cup on the first free spot that I saw and began mixing away. I placed one of our mini chocolate brownies on the tray and also a blueberry muffin, just like Zayn had ordered.
"Here you go"
"Thanks love, how much would that be?"
"That's $8.10, after the sale on the blueberry muffin." I replied, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear.
Why can't guys love my face as much as my hair?
"Sure" he replied, pulling out his wallet and handing me a $5 dollar note and the rest in dollars and cents.
"Thank you" I replied politely, before scurrying away back into the kitchen, not bothering to look back since he's probably staring at the screen again.
"Tie your shoelaces up, you're going to trip!" I heard an annoying high- pitched voice say as I came back.
"Yes ma'am ." I replied, knowing better than to talk back to a pregnant woman.
