KING FAN FIC

Part 2

Kaden's POV:

I woke up before my alarm today. Like it's literally 4:17 am. I don't know how these things happen to me but they do. I went to the gym for a half hour today and even know that doesn't seem like a lot, it is when all you do is cardio.. After that I came back home to shower and got ready for work. I work at this little Starbucks about 20 minuets east of my house. I guess I'm like a janitor? I just mop and sweep and clean tables. I don't make much money but that's fine. At least it's something right?

My name is Kaden. @kardashiankendoll I'm 16 years old and live in Bountiful, Utah. One thing about me is I literally LIVE off of Mac n cheese. Like breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 2nd dinner. I warmed up a plate in the microwave to have for breakfast. Keep in mind its literally only 5:45 am. It's my obsession.

My parents were still sleeping and I usually don't see them until I get home from work. I put my Mac n cheese in a tubberware container cause I was running a little behind. I sped to work really quick, taking bites at every stoplight. I'm kind of a crazy driver and I'm surprised that I haven't been pulled over yet... knock on wood. When I get to work, I try to quietly enter so my boss, Bruce, wont get mad at me again. He has a temper. A bad one.. Even though I didn't let the door slam behind me, he still heard me come in and started shouting at me which startled me.

"Kaden.. why are you 15 minuets late! Like 3 minuets.. that's okay. 7 minuets.. that's pushing it. But 15? Come on!"
See? Hot tempered if I've ever seen one. I just kept my head down until he started talking again.
"Just go get your mop and start cleaning. We open in 20 minuets."
I quickly throw on my apron and my hat and start spraying tables and whiping them down. I just felt out of it today.

Some time passed and I've just mopped up spilt lattes and swept crumbs. It's now about 8:25 am. A habit of mine is looking up at the door anytime someone walks in. You never know who I could meet.. Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift.. the possibilities are endless. Today was kind of a surprise though. A cute boy walked in. He was wearing an oversized sweatshirt that I love and his narwhal slippers were dorky but cute! I watched him order his drink and step back. I was kind of disappointed that he didn't notice me though. Just as I was pushing my small cleaning cart with my mop, I tripped over a table leg. Flat. On. My. Face! Right in front of him! Sending the whole cart hurdling towards him. 'Nice one Kaden..' I thought. My whole face was like tingling and I was too embarrassed to move. Suddenly a shadow moved over me.

"Are you okay?", He said.
"Ye.. yeah.", I said kinda shaken.

He put his hand to me and I used it to help myself up. As I stood up, our eyes met. It felt so perfect and like it was meant to be. He was so cute but I don't think he felt the same way about me. Or he's just really good at hiding his feelings. I then realized that I just hit him with a mop so I probably should apologize.

"Can I make it up to you? I just pelted you in the side with a mop..", I asked him instantly.
"Oh you don't have to do that! It was no big deal.", He smiled.
I smiled too just as he ran over to the counter to get his drink.
"Kyle?", the barista shouted.
'His name is Kyle?.. I love that' , I thought.
When he came back over, I said,"No I have to do something to make it up to you."
I grabbed a napkin from the shelf and pulled a pen out of my pocket. I started jotting down my phone number.
"Here, its my number. Text me when you need me to bring you a coffee or something.", I said with a wink.

I was so nervous that he would think it was weird of me to offer my number before we even properly introduced ourselves but he didn't even think twice about it. He grabbed it and put it in his pocket.

"I will take you up on that.", He said. I was relieved.
We both smiled at each other and I felt happy. That perfect moment was interrupted by a tap on my shoulder. I spun around to see Bruce towering over me.

"Lunch break isn't until one, am I right?", he said.
"You are right, I was just thanking him for helping me up after I fell.", I replied softly.
"A thank you only requires two words, not an entire conversation.", he snapped as he shoved the cleaning bucket into my shin. I didn't want to cry, even though I easily could have. I squinted my eyes to hide the tears and it kinda worked. He huffed at me to get back to work and stormed off.
"Who was that? He's pretty rude.",  Kyle said, trying to make me smile. It didn't work.
"My boss. He has a bit of a temper but as long as I stick to my mopping job, he usually leaves me alone.", I said rubbing his leg.
I quickly added," You'd better leave. Ill text you at my break, okay?"
"It's a date!", he said with a wink. That made me smile.

He shook my hand. It was pretty awkward. I would have preferred a hug but that's okay. I waved goodbye and so did he. I watched him start his car and drove off. I just prayed that he would text me so we could see each other again.
I couldn't wait for lunch.
