Remember {O2L fan fiction}

First day at work

*Saturday*

I woke up to my alarm at 9:00am. I sighed and made my way to the bathroom. I showered, dried off, brushed my teeth, put on clean clothes, did my hair, put on my makeup and grabbed my phone.

I was out of the house by 10:00am and it took about 20 minutes to get to the café. I drove up to the shop and walked through the glass door.

"Hey Hazel!" My manager Janet called out and I gave her a smile. "You're right on time. Mind cleaning the tables until the customers get here?"

"No problem." I gave her a polite smile and she handed me an apron, windex, and a rag.

I tied the apron around my waist and put a pad of paper and a pen in the pocket. I started to spray the tables and wipe them off when I saw Connor walk in.

"Welcome to the California Cafe, Connor." I gave Connor his order of an Espresso and only about 4 other people came in.

I sat down with Janet and she looked at her watch and sighed. "You did pretty good today, it's only 3:30pm but I'll let you leave early. Doesn't seem like we will get anyone now." I grinned and nodded.

"Thank you." I said and went over to the employee rack and hug up my apron. "See you Monday." I smiled and walked out the door to my car.

I slid into the drivers seat and started it up. I put in my earbuds to my phone and clicked on Ricky's song 'Ordinary' and hummed the tune as I drove back home.

As soon as I parked the car, I saw Dakota run from out of the O2L house to me. "Hazel! Hazel, hi." She said smiling. "I have to go get ready!" She whined and I furrowed my eyebrows.

"If the date is at 8 o'clock you have 4 hours." I chuckled and she sighed. "I know but I was thinking if maybe we could y'know, practice?" She asked and I motioned her inside.

I put a white sheet over the table and lit a candle in the middle. I sat on one end and she sat in the other.

"Now, boys like to keep to themselves. You may have ask questions to get him comfy, alright? Pretend I'm Connor, what would you say to start the conversation?"

She thought for a second. "Sit up straight." I said and she straightened up and I smiled.

She took a deep breath before beginning. "So Connor, how was your day?"

"No, no no." I answered. "You want to keep up a conversation. He could say 'fine' and the conversation in down the drain. Try again."

"What's the plan for your main channels video, Connor?" She asked and I gave her a smile.

"Good job, now, what do you do if the conversation of that matter dies?" I asked raising an eyebrow and she bit her lip.

"Talk more about him?"

"No, you can talk about yourself. Talk about your day or what you did, but make it brief so he can see if he can relate to it." I smiled and she nodded.

"Gosh, I'm so nervous." Dakota put her face in her hands and I sighed. "You've just got to be yourself, Kota. Connor likes you for you." I answered and she smiled.

"Thanks."

"What's going on here?" Sam asked and I smiled. "I'm just helping Miss.Corrins here with her date with Connor tonight." Sam raised an eyebrow and nodded.

"Who knew my sis could do it?" We erupted in laughter and I checked the time, I didn't even realize we were trying to practice for this for over 2 hours.

"C'mon, we've gotta get you ready! Date is in an hour and a half, go get your dress." I smiled and she ran out the door.

"Hey Blue!" I watched the golden puppy bounce over to me and I picked him up and kissed his nose. "You're such a good puppy." I scratched his head and he licked my face.

"He's a good boy." Sam said petting his fur and I nodded. I picked up Blue's ball and rolled it across the floor and watched him run over to get it, slipping on the hardwood.

"C'mon!" I heard the door shut and saw an anxious Dakota standing in front of it. "Alright let's go." I said going to my room and she shut it behind me.

"I can't wait." Dakota squealed as I sat her in a chair.
