Brooks POV

My alarm went off at 6am on a Tuesday morning. I dragged myself out of bed and to the kitchen of my flat to make some breakfast before work. I put some eggo waffles in the toaster and got a cup of coffee ready. I turned on the news and ate my waffles. After I was done eating I went to go get dressed. once I had my uniform on and my hair and makeup done it was now around 7am. I started to make my way to work, it was only about 2 blocks away from my flat. The busy new York streets were filled with people as usual. When I got to the shop I punched in and got to work in the kitchen.

"Any orders ready?" I asked.

"Table 5!"someone yelled from back behind the stove.

I grabbed the plate of food and the cup of coffee and put them on my tray. I walked out of the kitchen and went over to table 5, it was one of our regulars named Andrea.

"Hi Andrea,  nice to see you this morning" I said while handing her her order.

"Hi Brook, nice to see you too" she said

"Enjoy your meal and have a nice day, I'll see you around" I smiled

"Thanks, see you later" she said

I went back to the kitchen and saw my boss Gary standing there.

"Hey brook I need you to take the truck and go get some more coffee grains from the department on 4th street." He said

"Alright. Be back shortly" I said grabbing the keys from the rack. I took some back roads to avoid the traffic. Once I got there I parked the truck and popped open the back hatch. I went in the building and saw my friend Jimmy sitting on some boxes

"Sup Jimmy" I said

"Oh hey brook, didn't expect to see you today" he said

"I didn't know I was coming here honestly, I would've texted you" I said

"We haven't talked in a while, we should hang out this weekend." He suggested. 

"Yep definitely,  it's a plan" I said

I grabbed 3 boxes which semi blocked my vision. I walked out of the building and headed in the direction of the truck when I bumped in to someone and the boxes and my self fell to the ground. I ended up cutting my face a little bit, I didn't know how bad it was but I was bleeding a little. I got up and quickly apologized

"I am so incredibly sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking" I said while collecting my boxes not really looking at whom I had just ran into.

"No it was entirely my fault, I was trying to text one of my friends and wasn't watching where I was going" he said.

His voice, I've heard that voice many times before.

I looked up and there he was, my idol, Lin-Manuel Miranda. 

"Would you like some help, I assume there's more boxes you need to load up" he smiled.

"Uh yeah that'd be great" I said

"Oh I almost forgot, my name is Lin-Manuel Miranda, but you can call me Lin, it's easier to remember.  What's your name?" He smiled

"Brook Williams" I said

"Nice to meet you Brook" he said

"Nice to meet you too Lin" I smiled.

We walked back into the warehouse and grabbed some more boxes and loaded up the truck.

"Thank you so much for your help Lin,  it would've taken ages for me to do it all by myself." I said
