"y/n got a couple boxes of delivery upstairs can you go hang them for me" your manager radios you

"on it" you radio back through the small earpiece

you take the lift to the stock room and pile up some totes onto the wheels to bring down to the back of store. loading them into the lift you wheel them to the delivery bay where you start unpacking some of it and hanging them on the correct hangers. security tagging as you went along. your manager shortly comes out to take the stock and place it on the shop floor. an hour into that your colleague comes and takes over leaving you to man the fitting rooms.

it was a quiet day, being middle of the week around 10am. the rush won't pick up until lunch time when everyone's on their breaks. a few customers come in and ask your opinion on outfits of other options and styles but other than that there wasn't much going on.

after two hours on the fitting rooms you get to go back to the shop floor which you preferred most, you could chat to other colleagues whilst tidying rather than being stood alone in the fitting rooms. as you were chatting to your closest friend working in the store you see her laughing at something behind you.

"what" you turn to see what she was so interested by

"oh nothing just some silly customers again" she spins you back around quickly

"let's go get a drink quickly" she says walking out the back

"hydration is key" she laughs

"i need to check my break actually, i'm starving" you respond

"hey same let's go do that" she rushes

"slow down girl" you laugh

you follow her out the back room past tills to get the biggest surprise so far this year

"ahhh what the fuck" you jump away as someone jumps out from round the corner

"a hello would be nice" a familiar voice speaks

"a regular heartbeat would be nice" you sarcastically reply noticing who it was

"sorry" he laughs pulling you in for a hug

"i missed you too much to wait until tonight so here i am" he grins

"loser" you lowkey smile into his chest

"hey we've missed you too" reece and blake chime in

"aren't you all meant to be at the studio?" you ask

"lunch break, speaking of do you fancy wagas or pizza?" george replies

"uh i'm at work babe" you furrow your brows

"uh lunch break babe" he copies your actions

"lemme go speak to y/managers/n" you roll your eyes at his needy-ness

before you even start your sentence she's telling you to go with them and get lunch but to be back in an hour. you leave her your radio and go grab your phone and purse from your locker out back.

"i'm thinking wagas" you find the boys looking in the mens section

"can you buy this for me later if i pay for lunch?" g asks

"sure" you take it off him to hold behind the tills until you finish your shift later

"thanks" he smiles

you leave urban outfitters and walk to wagamamas which was literally two buildings down and right across from their studio. this was also how you and george met, on your lunch breaks in wagas with work mates. so it wasn't unusual for him to turn up sometimes and get lunch together.
