Who's he?

I pulled up at work and I was a bit early so I sat in my car. I sung along to "DNA" by Lia Marie Johnson. I noticed an unfamiliar car but I thought maybe it was yet another customer who tried to get seated before we opened. After procrastinating about going in long enough, I stepped out of my car and walked in. I greeted everyone and went to the computer to clock in.
"Hey! You ready?" Lucy asked walking to the door to unlock it.
"Yeah," I answered but noticed a different face walking around in the kitchen with my boss, "hey, who's he?" I asked.
"Oh, yeah," she said dragging the y, "I think his name is Ethan. You have to train him." She said walking to a table that had sat down in her section.
I tied my apron and put some straws in it. I walked to Ethan and greeted him.
"Hello, I'm Ember." I said and held my hand out indicating him to shake it.
"I'm Ethan." He shook my hand and his hand was so hot.
"Okay, well you're gonna be following me I'm your trainer." I said walking to my table and him following me.
"Hello! How are you guys today?" I asked the couple with a smile.
"I'll have water no lemon and same for her." The guy said.
"Okay." I faked a smile and walked to the drink machines.
"I hate when people do that. Like, I didn't ask what you wanted to drink yet, I asked how your day was. Damn." I complained to Ethan but he didn't really seem to care. "Alright, well, if they do want lemon, here they are" I said pointing to the container with cut up lemons in it.
"Okay." He answered.
"So, where are you from?" I asked getting two cups from the cup shelf.
"Michigan." He replied. I was a bit confused because it's really cold there but he's really tan.
"Oh nice." I said filling the second cup with water and walking back to the table.

The night was over and we finally had finished closing.
"Okay, Ethan, this is where you hang your aprons at the end of the shift and you come here to clock out." I said walking to the computer. He quickly followed. I bit on the end of my pen as the computer loaded. I noticed Ethan's breathing hitched and he stepped further away from me. I finished clocking out and went to my car. I cranked it and sat in it for a bit counting my tips. I jumped at the sound of knocking on my window. I looked to see Ethan staring at me a bit scary. I rolled down my window.
"Yes?" I asked.
"You left this." He handed me the pen I was biting on.
"Ah. Thanks." I smiled.
"Yeah. I gotta go. See ya." And with that he quickly walked away.

I laid down in my bed after coming home and showering. I opened my drawer and grabbed my journal, I began writing.
"So. This boy. He's a little wierd. He shows very little emotion and he's like freakishly dark complected, with skin so hot. I'm not going to lie he's very good looking and his mysteriousness makes him so much cuter. Ugh. What am I writing? Why am I writing this? I guess I'll just wait and see what tomorrow holds. Goodnight."
I put the journal away and turned my lamp off before rolling onto my side and cuddling with my other pillow. I started to drift to sleep.

Alright. Well. I have nothing to say. Goodnight lovelies ❤🤷🏻‍♀️
