Under Attack

Under Attack (8)

We made it to work 10 minutes early which turned out to be a good thing. My boss hadn't set up the chairs and tables, he didn't set up the coffee machines, he didn't wipe off the counters. Jane and I were rushing around trying to get the entire coffee shop into order before it opened. We just barely managed it and were panting as the first customer walked in. I couldn't help but smile when I saw who the first customer was.

"Maxi! It's been a while." I exclaimed. She beamed and hopped over the counter, throwing her arms around me. I hugged her back then scowled.

"Customers don't belong back here and you know it. Get back on the other side." I said sternly and she giggled. Once she was on the other side I asked, "You still drinking the same old coffee?" she nodded and I started putting it together. she paid me then went to claim her normal table as Jane grabbed some disinfectant and cleaned off the counter.

After a fairly long day at work we headed home. We had dinner, pasta, and then went to bed. I snuggled Jane till she fell asleep and then slipped out of bed, heading to the couch to plot out what I'm going to do for Jane's birthday. I debated just staying home and pampering her but I also wanted to take her somewhere nice. I started looking up fancy restaurants nearby. After getting some ideas I decided to wait and poke and prod her to get ideas of what she might want. I crawled back into bed and snuggled up to Jane, it was about three am now and I fell asleep instantly.

Two hours later Jane's phone screamed letting us know it was 5 am and time to get up. I broke the alarm clock yesterday when I smacked it so Jane set the alarm on her phone. I went to throw a pillow at her phone but she stopped me. I groaned and she chuckled then climbed out of bed to take a quick shower. I rolled out of bed and threw on the same clothes as yesterday, too lazy to find clean ones. Not to mention that I only got a couple hours of sleep. I walked into the kitchen and drank a five-hour energy knowing I was going to want it. Jane came into the kitchen and gave me a look when she saw I was wearing the same clothes but she didn't comment.

"So, got any hopes for what will happen on your birthday?" I asked her, I knew it wasn't subtle but I didn't really care. She looked at me and smiled as she grabbed an apple but didn't say anything. I watched her intently as she started to eat her apple. She giggled slightly as I just continued to watch her.

"Maybe we could go to dinner, or we could stay in and spend time together." she said around a mouthful of apple and I sighed. That didn't help me at all, we had spent a lot of time home lately so I almost figured she'd want to go out, then again we were also starting up with work so maybe by the time her birthday came around she'd want to stay in.

I know it's short but I've been having writers block. My plans i have fall further in the future than i thought they did. i'm trying guys.
