"have a great day," i smiled as i handed the coffee off to the older women who'd ordered it.
i turned, grabbing the rag to clean off the counter.
"she looks good in uniform too." i heard as i turned. my eyes landed on justin.
"what do you want foley?" i asked.
"when is your break?" he asked. "i want to talk."
"you can go on break," jack, the manager, said. "it's a pretty slow day."
i nodded and pulled my apron off, setting it under the counter. justin and i took a seat.
"talk," i told him.
"look,i know why you're mad at me." he said. "and i've been giving you space because i felt like you wouldn't believe me if i told you that i was sorry. and i am, it was a dick move and i did you and jess dirty."
"no kidding," i scoffed.
"and you are a beautiful person, inside and out. i'm not asking for another chance at being with you but i miss having you as friend." he said.
i let out an exhale, now that i was doing homeschooling, i really didn't have to be angry. i'd found a way to forgive clay, alex and monty. jessica and i were on fantastic terms, so were hannah and i.
"yeah, i think i can do that." i smiled. i leaned forward and lowered my voice. "but listen here foley, you fuck me over again and you won't have your precision junk. got it?"
i tilted my head with a slight smirk.
"i got it little one." he chuckled.
....
later that evening when i got off, i went straight home. my brother had told me he'd be with piper getting dinner. my dad would be sleeping due to his long shift. my mom was still in new york.
i pulled up to my house, parking my car in the driveway. i got out and walked up the front walkway. when i approached the steps though, i saw monty sat on them. his eyes met mine as i sighed.
"nicolette," he said as he stood.
i let out a scoffish laugh.
"the man of the year," i said sarcatically.
"i've been wanting to talk to you."
"you had a week and a half to talk to me." i said and walked towards him. "you have nothing i want to hear."
"nicolette, i've been trying to figure out what to say. i didn't know how to approach the topic of our...situation."
"situation? monty?" i laughed. "just leave, and never talk to me."
i walked into my house, locking the door and heading up to my room
