I have started a new job. A job at a local coffee shop and one that is busy, 24hrs a day. My shift is 8 till 2 every weekend and it is wearing me out. fussy customers, nauseating smells of coffee and machines constantly breaking was starting to tick me off.
Mituna had gone to visit family in Korea and I was stuck in the autumn back home. The manager of the coffee house had recently changed the colour scheme to a more, rustic pallet. deep reds and maroons now gave a darker feel to the place. I mentioned string lights and jars of lights to add to the warm colours. It led to a promotion.
It was late morning when the sound of motorbikes screamed through the street and three bikers entered the shop. Two were middle aged and the one was a teen. The elder looked up and smiled at me. He was rather handsome and had purple highlights in his hair. His forehead bore a scar in a zigzag shape. His said a polite hello and asked for a caramel macchiato to stay in. I said the usual 'of corse sir! cream and syrup?' and he agreed.
I set a coworker to it and served the other two leather wearers. One had masses of hair and I recognised him at first glance.
'GHB!' I said happily. He smiled and greeted me back. He took off his gloves and looked up a the menu.
'Large latte and a cookie please.' He asked and I set the coworker to it again. I set the cookie down and once his coffee was sorted I sent him off with a faygo gummy sweet on the side. He noticed and winked.
The last guy was Cronus. He stayed solemn and asked for an iced coffee. I asked the size and he said large. I made it myself and asked if he wanted cream and said yes in a low whisper. It was getting to 12 so I took a break and went to talk to GHB. I took off my apron and headed over with my iced mint mocha. He smiled when he saw me approach.
I sat and greeted Cronus with a friendly hello and introduced myself to the other guy. His shook my hand and said his name was dualscar. oh, Cronus's dad. He completed my looks and Cronus slapped his arm to tell him to shut up. I blushed and turned my attention to GHB. He shrugged and laughed. I asked how the boys were doing and he said they missed me a tonne. I smiled sadly and invited myself over.
Cronus stayed quiet the whole time. I wondered if he was sorry about what he said about tuna. maybe but I wasn't sure. Soon enough, my back pocket buzzed and I excused myself from the table.
'Hello?'
'Hey honey!'
'Tuna fish! what's up?'
'I'll bee home tomorrow'
'Great! what time?'
'Around 3?'
'Cool, can't wait!'
'Love you'
'Love you too! bye!'
'Bye!'
And with that I ended the call since it would cost him loads to call me. My tuna was coming home! I was so exited! I went back to the table to find it empty. A few coins were left as a tip and I cleaned up.
