Turns out they were late. They'd underestimated how long it actually would take to walk. Fortunately for Micheal he had afternoon classes and his co-worker Libby had covered for him; unfortunately for Camille she did not have afternoon classes and was late for her morning lecture, not that she listened to them anyway.
"You piece of ass," Libby protested,
"Am i a nice piece of ass?" Micheal laughed.
"fuck off and get to work" She mumbled as she headed back towards the staff room so she could do minimal work, as usual.
Libby acts cold and harsh but that's because she is cold and harsh, but once you get to know her you start to see a softer side. Most people don't get to see that side, Camille thinks it's because of the eyes; they could pierce the human heart with one glance. Whenever Eve walks in and sees her she pretends that she has been shot and falls to the ground, Miss.Mature.
Despite all of this they often get along well and keep each other company for the long, boring hours of work.
"Leave it all to me it's fine!" Micheal chuckled as he picked up the days schedule and looked around the store.
Work gets quite boring sometimes the only real excitement is when Joseph comes in after his morning run, sweat dripping from his forehead.
His fantasy was brutally interrupted when an elderly woman kept pestering him because she couldn't find the soup isle. Jeez it's not as if it's a big store, but he kept his thoughts to himself.He dragged himself away from the counter to help the woman, he could've missed Joseph walk in so he hurried her up as kindly as he could.
He checked his watch, 7:50 AM Joseph should be walking through the doors any minute..
And just like that there he was, a kind smile painted on his face as he strolled inside the store. Instantly heading towards the fruit isle were he would choose the fresh red apples Micheal had just put out prior this morning
Joseph was smaller than Micheal by a few inches but it didn't feel that way to him. His chocolate brown skin glistened under the electronic light as his hazel eyes won looks off fellow customers.Micheal couldn't help but stare at the sheer white T-shirt Joseph wore.
"Checkin' out the apples i see" A familiar voice whispered far too close to his ear
"JeSuS, Eve???" Micheal gasped, "I thought you were sick!"
"i am, but i wouldn't miss those apples even if i was being killed" Eve said, a little too adventurously.
"Aha, yea." Micheal agreed noticing glee fill Eve's eyes
Her eyes were adverted to something behind him, so curiously he turned around only to be faced with Joseph standing at the cash register smiling as always.
"h-hi, what can i do for you"Micheal stuttered,
"Uhh" Joseph said as he eyed up what he had actually bought to the register.
"O-oh yes sorry about that! Of course you're here for that! AhhAHh" Micheal nervously laughed as his face turned a faint shade of pink.
He quickly scanned the items and timidly waved to say goodbye, Joseph gave him a confident, brief nod as he bit into the apple he had just bought and left the store.
Micheal groaned as he hit his head off of the cash register.
"Man, that was terrible, you really need to up your game" Eve Joked.
Micheal shooed her away assuring her she should go get some more rest, rather than bothering him at work. The rest of his shift went by pretty quickly due to the embarrassment he had given himself earlier.
Soon it was early afternoon, he'd left a note for Libby who was taking a nap in the staff room again, grabbed his stuff and was off to meet up with Camille for Lunch, she'd already made plans to go to Starbucks so she could get some good Instagram worthy photos, quote unquote. It just made him roll his eyes but he was fine with it because they had nice coffee. Coffee that really pulls the heart strings, whether it's too sweet or too bitter.Personally he liked it with a perfect balance of the two.
His thoughts drifted from away from coffee as he went over what happened with Joseph this morning,
"Ugh, i sounded so dumb"He thought as he hung his head low only to be pulled back up again when he saw Camille frantically waving at him to come over.
A/N
in case you didn't get the drift, when Eve talks about "apples" she's referring to Joseph because he was at the fruit isle looking at the apples
