Chapter 24

“Nicky can you please cover the rest of my shift. My mom just called and Scarlet is very sick,” Bethy said to me as I cleaned what I thought would be the last table of my shift.

“Sure does this mean I have to close?” I asked.

I have never closed before. Bethy was usually the one to close, but since she will be leaving early I guess it meant I have to close now.

“Yea. You've never closed before,” she said reminding herself.

I shook my head and finished cleaning the table. I have been working in the cafe for the past two weeks and at first it was hectic because of the numerous of students that came in to cram their finals. Now that finals are over all students are out and waiting for the next semester to start. Which is in about three weeks and I still don't know if I got that journalism class I wanted.

“Nicky,” Bethy called me from the back room and I immediately made my way towards her.

She was standing with Keaton when I walked in and they were staring at me as I walked in. I wasn't sure if I should be scared or thankful that they called me in.

“Yes,” I said slowly as I made my way towards them.

“Keaton is staying with you and he is going to be showing you how to close,” Bethy said.

“They why are you guys staring at me that way,” I asked confused. They were still staring at me awkwardly. I looked over at Keaton and he was blushing looking down at the ground and hiding his face. Bethy was laughing and then Keaton pushed her causing her to stumble back against the sink. She squealed and turned around letting us see that she completely wet her back with the water that was along the sink.

“Look what you did Keat,” she yelled at Keaton showing her back to him.

We both laughed and she rolled her eyes at us.

“Nicky come with me,” she said and I followed her out to the back of the counter.

“What happened,” I asked her once we reached the register.

She took off her apron placing it under the register and began to gather her things.

“So Keaton and you will be here alone and trust me I am doing him a favor,” she said, “just be careful because his dad is the owner of the cafe and if things end wrong you might lose your job.”

“What are you talking about, Beth,” I asked confused.

She laughed rolling her eyes then stared at my confused expression. She cocked her head to the side furrowing her eyebrows down, “you really don't know do you?”

“Know what?” I asked. What the hell was she talking about. I was so confused. Why would I lose my job? And since when is Keaton the owner's son?

“Nicky,” she said placing a hand on my shoulder, “Keaton has a huge crush on you.”

“What?”

She laughed then walked out of the cafe with out saying a thing.

What the hell? Why would she tell me something like that? How does she even know this? Ugh. Now things are going to be so awkward for me here at work. This was the one place I get to distract myself from my already complicated life. Now my life is more complicated then it already is. I don't want to give Keaton the wrong impression. I mean he is really cute, but we are just friends. I have been able to hang out with him ever since I started working here and he has been asking me out to the movies and.....oh. Maybe he was asking me out on a date? Oh no.
