sorry I would've updated earlier but I'm obsessed by 'The Vampire Diaries' (only at season 2 though) but here you go sorry for the typos
"you're not Barbara?!" i looked at the guy behind the counter. who the hell is he? I've never seen him before, he must be new in town.
"no I'm Harry" he smile showing of his awfully cute dimples. where the hell is she? I need her, she knows my orders, she knows what I usually get. my heart starts pounding faster. let's just say I'm not very good at dealing with changes, not even the small ones. "what can I get you?"
"where is she? she's always the one who stands behind the desk, she knows what to get me." I unintended raise my voice a little. like I said I'm not very good at dealing with changes.
"she's in the back baking, I'll have to take your orders today. Are you all right?"
"I'm fine I just need Barbara" I say through gritted teeth.
"I'm sorry but she can't, she's the one baking today, Margeret called in sick so Barbera had to take over her shift." he looks at me like I'm some kind of freak, what is up with him talking back to me anyway, how rude can one posibbly be?
"well I pretict that you're not going to do the serving right, and as you say, 'the cosumer is always right' so now call Barbera in here so she can give me what I need."
"geez relax it sounds like she's your pusher or something" he murmels, but not quiet enough for me not to overhear.
"excuse me?" I speed-walk to the counter and grasp the collar of his shirt. a little dramatic I know, but no-one and I repeat no-one talks back to me! "who the hell do you think you are? you don't know shit about me, so just get the fuck down your high hoars and go get Barbera" I let go of his shirt, giving him a slight push. he rub his hands over his chest to smuithe out the rinckles.
"Barbera! there's a very insisting costumer out here who needs you!" he yells giving me what I asume was supposed to be a deathglare, but with his poppydog face the world might never know.
"Oh my. Mandy you're back from America. how are you dear?" she ask her voice all high pintdhed, it always gets really high when she ask me that; 'how are you?' I have no idea why she always ask she kows everything in my life is shit. she pul me into a bearhug.
"I'm good" I smile. When my mouth reach her ear I whisper "as long as he's standing there I'm fine" I let out a little sigh berrible noticable.
"Harry? will you be a sweetheart and take the bread out of the oven, I'm pretty sure they're done. and pack two for Mandy here please." she smile like nothing's wrong. she always does, but I know it will never be, just like me something bad happened to someone close to her, that is pretty much why we are so close, she's like the grandmother I always wanted amd needed. Now you might ask 'why don't you just talk to your mother about your pain' well my mother hasn't really been the easiest to talk to efter what happened to Adam, butI'll get back to that later.
Harry walked out into the kitchen. "so how are you really?" she ask this time with a little more pain in her look, of course only enough that I would know.
"how do you think I am? I just came home from visiting my paralyzed best friend and cousin, oh yeah did I remember to tell you that I'm the reson why he's like that. so yeah I'm just great" i threw my hands in the air shooting her a sarcastic smile too. I know I'm rude and that she was just trying to be nice but it hurts knowing you are the reason why your best friend -who's also the only person who can stand to be in the same room with you- are in pain every day for the rest of his life. I sigh rubbing my head with my hands "I'm sorry".
"it's okay love I know it's hard, but you can aways talk to me you know that" she lightly rubbed my back.
"I... I just think I need some sleep, you know jetlack and stuff"I give her a half hearted smile. "I need to say 'hi' to Josh he don't know I'm back" Babra gnors "barba will you cut him some slack" I chuckle.
"I will, when he cuts you some" i shake my head and giggle. She truly hates him.
"why do you hate him so much?" okay I know the answer to that I might have asked her that before. but I truly love him and he's loads of fun, and really good at making me forget about Adam.
"you know why Mandy... he treat you like dirt, he should be allowed to near you or any woman for that matter" i give her goodbye hug and she rush back to the kitchen, I'm adout to exit the door when I hear someone clearing their voice. i turn and see the new guy holding up a bag and I nearly smack myself.
"you forgot your order" he smiles showing off his dimbles. I walk up to him and snatch the bag from his hand.
"yeah 'cours I'm so stupid" I giggle.
"you have nice smile" wait what did he just tell me? I have a cute smile? who tells a girl they just met that 'they have a cute smile'.
"oh I do? you know what I also have? a boyfriend."
"who is a dick acording to Barbra" he cross his arms over his chest. is he challanging me for something? God he's a weird kid.
"don't judges you have never even met him"
"but barbra has and she's never wrong. you should know you've known her longer than me" he fires back, why am I even disgussing this with a complete stranger?
"she just got a bad first impression- why am I even disgussing this with you? I gotta go" I turn on my heels and walk tworads the door.
"do you wanna have lunch with me tomorrow?"
"no! I have a boyfriend for christ sake"what is wrong with him?!
"who's a dick"
"goodbye! I hope you have a bad day" i walk closer to the door.
"oh! burned!" he laughs but I just flick him off giving him my middle finger.
