(Taylor’s POV)

I’m currently walking to work, headphones in my ears, my phone blasting the American Authors EP. As the song fades to an end I can faintly hear someone calling my name. I pause the new song, pull out the headphones and turn around to find the source. I see Sean directly behind me, who begins waving at me once we make eye contact. I wave back and stop walking, allowing him to catch up to me.

“Hey, Taylor” Sean greets me

“Hi, Sean” I reply

“Where are you headed?”

“Work”

“Work?”

“Work” I nod

“Where is work?” Sean laughs

“Meltdown, the ice cream place”

“I know what Meltdown is. I come here every summer, Tay” Sean nudges my shoulder and I blush at the mention of the nickname only one other boy has used for me, Luke. It sounds different coming from someone else, kind of weird. Almost out of place. I always thought of it as something special between Luke and I but Sean has seemed to take that away. Truthfully, I didn’t mind.

“Tay” Sean waves a hand in my face, snapping me from my thoughts.

“Yeah? Sorry”

“You just passed Meltdown”

I turn around and see that I walked a block past it. I quickly hug Sean and run away, yelling my goodbye as I jog to work. When I reach the door, I turn and see Sean has been watching me the whole way. I wave and he waves back and then I swing open the door and enter the shop.

Brittany and I exchange our hellos as I rush into the back and I throw on my apron and visor since I was a little late.

“You’re 5 minutes late, calm down” Brittany jokes and I stick my tongue out at her

“I accidentally walked past the shop.” I giggled, shaking my head at my stupidity

“How did you manage to do that?”

“I was talking to my friend, Sean” I shrug and help the customer that just walked in

“Is this Sean guy hot?” Brittany wiggles her eyebrows

“Very hot, but it doesn’t matter. I have a boyfriend, Luke, remember?”

“Right, right, the cute, blonde Australian at the end of your leash” she laughs and I give her a confused look

“Luke is whipped” Brittany explains

“Luke isn’t whipped” I protest. And he isn’t, he’s just overprotective and gets jealous because he loves me
