i drum my fingers on the linoleum
countertop, humming a tune to myself.

it hasn't been busy lately, a few college kids came in.
and some kids with their parents.

its almost my lunch break, a few more minutes..

i look around, there's barley anyone here...

'i could probably head back a few minutes earlier.' i think to myself.

'i mean i might as well'

so i start wiping down the sticky
counter. my plans of leaving early are shattered, when i hear the door open.

and the obnoxious tingle of the bell,
signalling that someone has arrived
or left.

i let out an inaudible groan,
"welcome to paradise smoothie!"
i say through gritted teeth.

i look up from the stick counter, to the door in front of me. i see a guy, probably my age come in.

and behind him, the same boy that i've been fantasizing about.

i quickly do a double take, and let out
a small squeal.

him and the other boy walk towards me, he hasn't recognized me yet.

"hi, what can i gettca?"

i say in a chirpy voice. half it being
real, the other half fake. (because i was being paid.)

the boy with the prettiest eyes and sweet cotton candy hair looked up at me, and smiled.

his friend ordered some gross energy drink before him, saying his name was "l-u-k-a-s".

now it was his turn to order, he smiled brightly.

"uh i'll have the blondie peach nunu. with an almod milk base" he stated.

i nod and type it into the cash register

"that'll be 7.58 dollars."
i say shyly.

lukas takes out his wallet and pays, in exact change. 'thank god' i mumble quietly.

"alright! i'll call y'all when your order is ready"
i say; my southern accent prominent.

both of them nod, and start off, walking to a table by the window.

"hey wait!" i yell loudly.

to which everybody in the store stares at me.

i make dead eye contact with the boy, and ask

"what's your name?"

i say holding up a cup, and a sharpie.

he smiles, and quickly walks over to me.

my heart is beating fast, it feels like it'll jump out of my chest.

"joshua" he says smirking. "but you can call me daddy".
