Key To My Heart

Chapter 6

Gab’s P.O.V.

      I woke up early for my classes for college, today’s the day they start. My dream job is to major in special education, I love to help others. I quietly get up out of my bed and check my emails. My first shift at my job at Starbucks starts today, so I had to make sure I got the time right for my shift, which is from 1:00 PM to 6:30 PM. I was going to be done with my classes at 11:30 AM so I should be able to have a little time in between. Today is going to be a long day, but I guess it’s worth it in the end if I make a little cash.

I make my way to college and attend all my classes. It was quite boring, it was just like the first day of high school all over again. The teachers introduce the class, what each class will be covering, the teacher’s grading system, and their syllabus. After the last class ends, I take the cab back to the apartment to quickly get dressed in a plain white shirt and dark wash jeans. I would receive my black apron at work and keep it there for future shifts.

I walk into Starbucks after the cab ride and I see my boss. He welcomes me in with a warm smile. I smile back as I walk in his direction.

“Hello Gabrielle, I’m Mr. Johnson, but please call me Steve. I like to keep work on a friendly basis.”

“Hi Mr., I mean Steve. It’s very nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you too Gabrielle! Do you want me to call you Gabbie, Gab?”

“Gab would be great!” I reply.

“Okay Gab, John over there is going to show you how everything works here, how to make certain drinks and such.” Steve points in the direction of a guy who waves.

I can’t help but notice the guy’s brown medium length cut hair. His brown eyes are welcoming, he’s kind of cute. I knew I was always into boys with blonde hair and blue eyes, but this boy isn’t that bad.

I walk over to introduce myself but he starts.

“Hello there! I’m John, I’ve worked here for thirteen years and I’ve been employee of the month for fifty months straight! So you’re new here?”

I just take back everything I just said; this guy is a dork who clearly has nothing better to do than work here and he’s socially awkward. Turn off.

“Yeah, I’m new. I’m Gab. Steve told me that you’re gonna show me the works of the machines and how to make the drinks?”

“Yeah sure!”

John shows me the ropes of ingredients and the machines. It would take me a little while to get everything down but hey, I’ll eventually get there. I check the clock, it reads 3:30 PM. Two and a half hours have passed learning everything with John. Only three more hours left until my first shift is over.

The past two hours have been so slow. Not many people came in, only a few people here and there. John and I would switch on and off on who would take each customer.

All of a sudden, a pair of piercing blue eyes comes in through the door. 

I whisper to John, “This customer is mine.”

Niall’s P.O.V.

      After work ended today at 6:20, I decided to go to Starbucks, I couldn’t help it, I got hungry. I wanted a large coffee and multiple sweets. I walk in and I see a girl behind the counter. She is stunning; her curly brown hair matches her deep brown eyes, my favorite eye color on a girl. I usually don’t fall in love with a girl with my eyes, but man is she gorgeous. I am secretly wishing she would be taking my order instead of that creepy man smiling at me who happens who also happens to be behind the counter. The beautiful girl approaches the register, signaling that she was going to be taking my order. I flash her a smile and she reacts by blushing and looking at the ground.
