He Cared

13

I slowly stirred awake, and opened my eyes. Carefully, I grabbed my phone off of my side table, and looked at the time. 5:04 a.m. I usually wake up around at 5:30, but there's no use going back to asleep because it's simply not going to happen.

Brendon's hand was still around me, so I slowly moved it off of my side, and pushed myself off of the bed. He immediately readjusted his position, and fell back asleep.  I looked down at him. He's so adorable. I pushed some hair that was in his face out of the way, cupped his face, and kissed his forehead.

"I love you." I whispered.

I went into my closet and searched for something to wear. I decided on a really pretty multicolored flower dress that I think i've only worn maybe once. Or maybe never. But it's really pretty nonetheless. So, I grabbed that and my phone, and went into the bathroom.

Quickly, I peeled my pj's off and hopped into the shower. At the end of my hot shower, I heard my phone ding. Nobody really has my phone number other than Brendon, right? I carefully got out of my shower, and dried myself off. I secured a towel around my body, and grabbed my phone. I turned it on to reveal a text message from a number that I didn't know. But the text told me who. 

Josh~ Hey, it's Josh! Sorry it's really early, Brendon gave me your number, so I thought I would text you anyway, haha 

Me~ Lol, it's fine, I wake up this early anyway for work. I'm actually getting ready rn

Josh~ Where do you work?

Me~ The Starbucks a few blocks from our house

Josh~ Well, I know where i'm getting coffee from now on

Me~ Well in that case, see you later on this morning then :)

Josh~ Yup! 

I set my phone down and started getting dressed and ready. Slowly, I put on the dress, and started blow drying my hair. I brushed it out, and curled it. 5:56a.m. I did my makeup, and put a nude color on my eyelid, and made a wing with eyeliner. 

6:15a.m. I walked out of the bathroom, and threw on my white flats. I grabbed my keys, walked outside, and got into my white Toyota. Yes, I have my own car, and yes, I pay for it myself. Thanks to this job. Quickly, I started my car, and drove a few blocks to Starbucks.

I got out of my car, and locked it, twirling my keys on my finger while walking up to the entrance. Slowly, I opened the door and walked inside, the cold air conditioning immediately cooling me down.

"Hey girl! How's it going?" My best friend, Hailey ran up and hugged me. I hugged back.

"Great! You?"

"Same" We pulled away, and smiled.

I met Hailey when I first started this job. She was originally assigned to help me get to know how to do my job, and to not fuck up everything I was doing. She is the sweetest and kindest best friend i've ever had.

Ever since then, we've been best friends. I clocked in at the exact time I was supposed to be at work. 6:30a.m. We both went to work. I'm a cashier, and Hailey is the one actually making the drinks. We kept up our jobs for a couple hours.

"Hello, I'd like a vanilla iced coffee please" I wrote the order down without looking up, and handed it to Hailey. 

"That would be $3.95, thank yo- Oh hey! How's it going?" I smiled, looking into a pair of brown eyes that belonged to no other than Josh.

"It's good, how about you?" He gave me the money, and smiled.

"Pretty good." I smiled back, and put it into the register, giving him his change back.
