Her Name Wasn't Chloe

(Lauren's POV)

I wake up to the alarm on my phone. Turning it off I get out of bed and then search my dresser drawer for some clothes. I grab my favorite sweater, a pair of leggings, a pair of underwear, and a bra before walking to the bathroom I share with Abby.

I knock on the door and Abby sneers "I'm busy!"

I keep walking down the hall until I get to Brady's bathroom. I get a towel and lay it on the floor before turning the shower on. I start to sing my favorite song 'Chloe' by Emblem3 while showering. When I finish I dry off before getting dressed. Once I'm dressed I hang my damp towel then continue down the hallway and down the stairs to the coffee shop where Brady is already behind the counter.

"Well good morning sleeping beauty" he coos.

Smiling I reply "Morning to you too Prince Charming" while I grab my apron and join him behind the counter.

I start to brew a pot of coffee and the bells attached to the front door jingle as it opens. Brady insists we have ridiculous Christmas bells hanging all year long so that we know when a customer is coming in if were out back.

Corey greets us with a smile before grabbing his apron and joining us behind the counter. As he walks in my direction he makes a joke about Abby and continuing towards Brady he starts talking about something but I don't really pay attention.

The bells ring again and an unfamiliar face walks through the door.

Offering my assistance I say "Excuse me sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

He looks quite worried and replies "Well uh actually yes. The bus I'm driving has broken down right in front of your little coffee shop"

Just as expected Brady and Corey cut into the conversation "We can help." They offer their assistance the the guy that introduced himself as Jack.

Brady turns before leaving through the front door "Lauren watch the store while we try to fix this."

I nod and laugh at the thought of Brady and Corey actually fixing something.
