Theresa rubbed her eyes and started her car heading towards her usual coffee shop looking for a frappé before work. Her light brown hair was in a loose ponytail at the base of her neck and she had on work out clothes for her job as a yoga instructor. She noticed the 'Help Wanted' sign that had been up on the coffee shop door for weeks had been taken down and she figured they'd finally found someone. Stopping the car in an empty space, she entered the coffee shop and caught her breath.

Dawn stood in the coffee shop restroom, checking her short auburn hair in the mirror a sixth time before finally exiting.

"Does it really take that long to wash your hands?" her new boss chuckled as he walked by,

"Hah sorry sir, just nervous for my first day," Dawns voice was deep, but quiet as she spoke.

"Well, we've got customers waiting, best of luck newbie," Newbie? Well that totally didn't remind her that it was her first day, and first real job, but she brushed it off, fixed her shirt and proceeded out to the register attempting to play it off like she knew what she was doing.

Theresa saw the tall, semi-redhead guy working at the counter, fixing his shirt somewhat nervously. Oooooh he was hot. She fixed her hair nervously and suddenly became really nervous about the fact that she wasn't wearing any makeup. Oh crap, she thought looking down at her outfit. She was only wearing yoga pants and a sports bra with a zip-up hoodie over it. Cursing her laziness on this particular morning, she made it up to the deserted counter and smiled at the guy.

"Know what you want?" He asked, his voice sounded odd to her. A sudden thought came into her mind. She flashed her most attractive smile and added a glint to her eye.

"Uh, no," she said even though she got the same thing everyday, "I need a sec,"

She backed away from the counter and looked into her dance bag for her paper pad and when she found it she ripped a small piece of paper from one sheet and wrote her number down on it. Then she looked at the menu, pretending to make a decision, grabbed the right amount of money, and headed to the counter.

The cute guy behind the counter smirked at her and she felt a blush rise to her cheek before she smiled again, "Know what you want now?" He asked her.

"Yes, a large Caramel Frappécino, salted please?" She asked pretending to count the money. As she did so, she made sure the paper was tucked in between the bills.

"$6.75 and that's all?" he said hitting buttons on the register.

"That's all," she said handing him the cash, "Keep the change."

In the middle of Dawn fixing her shirt a beautiful brunette walked in the door; she panicked on the inside, but tried to keep her cool on the outside. The girl walked up to the counter and smiled the most amazing smile Dawn had ever seen. She asked, "Know what you want?" Her voice higher pitched than usual.

"Uh, no," Dawn felt her heart skip a beat in her chest as the girl spoke, "I need a sec."

Dawn tried to say alright, but the words wouldn't come out, luckily the girl was going through her bag looking for something so she didn't see. The girl looked at the menu for a while, then turned back to Dawn, and Dawn asked, "Know what you want now?" Her voice somewhat normal again.

"Yes, a large Caramel Frappécino, salted please?" The brunette answered.

Dawn smirked a bit hearing this because that was her favorite thing on the menu, and then she pressed buttons on the register, "$6.75, and that's all?" She kinda hoped that it wasn't so she could try to talk to the girl a little more.
