Pairing: Coco Cruz x Isabella Young

Authors Note: Here is Chapter One of my new series! A huge thanks for @johnnyelcococruz for helping me edit this! I haven't decided what day I will be posting each update.

      The sound of a repeating beeping noise awoke Isabella, she smacked the alarm clock off and sighed. She lifts the gray blanket off of her as she rubs her still sleepy eyes. She walks towards her closet where her work uniform hung. She quickly changed and threw some makeup on. She noted the time and went to check on her little brother Max.
     "Max? It's time to get up." Isabella says as she flips the on switch on. Isabella sees Max's bed all made, he was an early bird. Isabella turned the light off before shutting his bedroom door.
     "This apartment is filthy"  Isabella thought to herself. Between working at the gas station, medical school and Max, she could never find time to clean. And it's not like her mother was any help, she was always off doing drugs with strangers. "Why the hell does Maria do this shit to me?"
        Isabella swung the kitchen door open to reveal Max sitting at the table with a big bowl of cereal in front of him. Isabella walks over to Max and places a kiss on his head.
      "Morning bud." Isabella greets him, she walks towards the fridge to get the items to make a sandwich. She always made Max's lunch since he was a kid, even now when is 16 years old.
       "I-Izzzz" Isabella and Max turned their heads to see their mother barley standing, she was clearly using again. Isabella hands Max his lunch.
      "Max, I'll see you tonight alright? Love you bud. Don't miss the bus" Isabella quickly ushered Max out of the house, she had always tried keeping him away.
     "Go the fuck to sleep." Isabella spat at Maria as she moved past her, and out the front door to go to work.
      "Absolutely ridiculous" Isabella said to herself as she started her car, she shook her head as she started driving towards work.
              ••••
       The morning shift was either a hit or miss. Some days it would be completely packed or other days it would be like this, completely dead.
     Isabella was working by herself, she was flipping through a magazine when the door bell rang, signaling someone was here.
       "Hi, welcome." Isabella says in her usual fake customer service voice. She noticed two men, they all wore the same vests that said MAYANS MC.
     Isabella heard around town that Mayans weren't what they seemed and she should always keep her guard up around them. That they were dangerous criminals. She kept her eye on them.
      "Hi ya, pack of non menthol please?" The biker in front of was quite handsome Isabella thought, he had dark features and dark hair. She felt herself blush slightly as she handed him the cigarettes.
     "U-uh would you like uh those things that start fire?" Isabella felt her anxiety come on out of no where, she was silently curing herself as she noticed Coco raising his eyebrow.
      "Uh matches? Sure" The biker had a little smirk on his face, his face grew a light shade of pink.
     "Yes, I'm sorry I'm weird." Isabella anxiously giggled as she brushed hands with the biker when handing him the matches.
      "Aren't we all though?" He adds.
       "True that." Isabella answered, her and the biker were looking each other in the eyes before the other guy awkwardly coughed.
     "Oh sorry sir, will this be all?" Isabella asks the other Mayan as she rung up the feed snack items.
     "Nah, thanks doll." He responded and handed Isabella the money he owed.
       "You ready Coco?" The other guy asked him, Isabella couldn't help but still look at him. He sparked a complete interested in her.
      "Yeah." Coco responded before walking away. "See you soon?" He quickly adds while looking at Isabella who nods in agreement.
       The two left the gas station and left Isabella with all those thoughts. Who was this guy, Coco? Why was she so interested?
     Isabella started flipping through the magazine pages, thinking about how she hopes to see Coco again.
