Jaden's POV

The beeping of the alarm woke me up from my short nap. I sloppily wake up as I hit the stop button, to stop the annoying noise from getting louder. I quickly changed into my work outfit. I rushed downstairs and rushed to my workplace.

The doorbell chimed, as I walked through the door. I rushed to the staffroom, wore my work apron. I was greeted by Mrs. Margaret, who is the owner of the cafe. She smiles at me and gives me a list of the chores that I had to do.

I completed them and it was now my turn to be at the counter. The girl, who had the shift before me was packing her things, getting ready to leave.

Her gray eyes were hidden behind her thick glasses, short brown hair with bangs that were covering her forehead she also had had freckles on her face. Her name was Ivy, she was around my age but she was very shy and didn't speak much.

Today was one of those days where a few customers entered the bakery, so I sat in a corner reading a book.

I was intensely reading my book and the doorbell chimed. I turn to look at the customer to greet them.

"Welcome, Sir how may I help you... wait a minute- What are you doing here!?"

What the hell is this guy doing over here? Did he manage to follow me? What the-! Out of all the people in this world why him? I sighed in frustration.

"Chill dude, I just wanted to grab something to eat."

He said and I crossed my hands over my chest and said.

"What do you want to eat?"

I questioned him. He seemed to be thinking about something and smirked.

"What can you offer me?"

I passed him the menu. He glanced through it, as he smirked looking at me.

"Can I have an ur-apple pie?"

He raised one of his eyebrows, smirking proudly. I frowned and avoided asking any further questions and continued.

"What the...It's apple purée pie dumbass... anything else?"

I sighed and rolled my eyes

"Hmm, you're such a turn-off."

He pouts and continues.

"And a Chocolate with a lot of whipped cream."

He pays the bill and walks away and sits on one of the empty tables as he pulls his phone out of his pocket. I could feel his eyes scanning me as I did my job.

•••••••••

"Hear it is mister and please finish it fast and leave ."

I was about to go back to my counter. When he stopped me.

"It's Eric and thanks for the meal."

He said with a bright smile. I looked away and said.

"Eat and leave."

"What, that's it? I was trying to be nice and you're telling me to leave? You're so mean."

"Stop talking and eat."

I looked at him in the eyes one last time and left him alone. He seemed disappointed.

It was almost closing hour, so I started cleaning the showcase and the counter. Wiping the windows and tables.

This Eric guy was still sitting there busy with his phone and checking me out every few seconds which was kind of weird like... why me? I feel he is trying to annoy me and I ain't gonna fall for that. I will just ignore him like I always do

He was done with his shift. The only work that was left was to close the cafe. I went to that idiot's table.

Jaden:
"It's closing time, get out, or are you planning to sleep here?"

Eric:
"I would if you plan to stay back and sleep with me ."

He winks and I just roll my eyes.

Jaden:
"If you don't leave right now I am calling the police."

Eric:
"Fine, fine. And you're leaving too right, so do you wanna ride?"

He shakes his eyebrows.

Jaden:
"No, just leave."

Eric:
"You're so boring."

Jaden:
"I know, now leave."

Eric gets in his car and leaves the driveway. I wait for him to leave.
And when I was sure that he left for good. I started locking everything and started walking on the streets. The atmosphere was surprisingly pleasant and calming. Although I have so many questions that are clouding my mind.

How did this guy find me?

Am I just overthinking?

I can't seem to think straight. What worst could happen? I am so tired, I seriously need some rest. Let's not think about tomorrow for today...
