"Dalia! The machines broken again" I called, bashing the side of the coffee machine in hopes of fixing it. It was the fourth time it had jammed this week but the boss lady wouldn't buy another one. I let out a sigh as I scanned the small coffee shop, watching the customers sipping on their drinks and chatting heartily. I was snapped out of my daze by an angry whisper behind me.
"fucking piece of shit" "Woahhh language" I teased, watching Dalia fiddling with the machine's settings. "It's not my fault - you were the one that bought this bloody machine" she quipped, glaring in concentration. A sputtering noise shortly followed, and the coffee finally started pouring. "Thank Jesus" "Jesus has nothing to do with it - that was all me" she grinned, pouring milk into the cup. I snorted, rolling my eyes as I walked over to clear one of the empty tables.
"Excuse me?" "Oh yes hi" I smiled, walking back to the counter "what can I get ya" "Just a black coffee please" "To go?" "Yes ma'am" I let out an amused smile at this, looking up at the customer properly. His face seemed stoic, but his eyes shone with humour. "Well someone was taught their manners" I chuckled, turning on the machine "Oh - and that will be $2.20" The man fished some change out his pocket and placed it on the counter, a small smile gracing his features. When the coffee had finished pouring, I placed the lid on and turned back around, handing him his cup. "Keep the change" he winked, before looking at my nametag "Grace" A faint blush spread across my cheeks and I gave a little awkward wave as he walked out of the door.
"What was that" Dalia snorted. "What was what" "That" "Oh shut up"
