What kind of a joke is this?

"Ohm and I can help you Earth, all you have to do is say it. It will be done in only minutes" It was the voice of Earth's best friend Fluke. He has been talking like this all the time since coming to Earth's workplace.

"You know I have no other choice for now. Asking you for such a favor was never in my plan Fluke. I don't want to live a life knowing that I will always be in debt to somebody" Earth explained calmly. It was just a routine at this point. He already had a prepared answer.

"But I am not just a "somebody". We have been friends for years. I know you don't like this. Let me help you" Fluke had good intentions. It didn't change the fact that Earth won't accept his help.

"You are taking a pity on me. I hate it" Earth looked around caffe that he worked part time in "Besides, you are talking as if this place is bad".

"You are not used to this. All the work without any rest. Or just work in general" it was a fact. Earth wasn't. He wasn't from a super rich family, but thanks to his parents who always worked hard for him to not feel like he was lacking in something among his classmates, he was living a comfortable life.

"I will be one day, but now" he heard a person behind Ohm and Fluke calling him "I have to go. It was nice chatting with you" he left them afterwards.

Fluke turned to Ohm "Ohmm" Fluke whined "What am I supposed to do? Please help me"

Ohm couldn't help but to smile looking at his boyfriend "Maybe you shouldn't do anything. He seems happy. He is moving on. We should respect that"

Fluke looked at him like he had a horn sticking out of his head "You are no help. Always so hopeless"

"And you are still here, loving me" Ohm couldn't help but to say.

"Right. Why am I still putting up with you again?" Fluke tried to sound irritated, but he truly could never be. Not with Ohm.

"Yes? What would you like to order?" It was some time since the duo left and Earth was working hard, smile never leaving his face.

He was ready to take the order of the pair that was sitting here, after they have been talking for what seemed like ages, at least she was, when the guy's eyes met his. He could sense discomfort in them, like he doesn't want to be here. He threw a quick glance at the girl across. I am not surprised. A girl was dressed as she was at the club, wearing too short dress, showing too much of her skin.

"Earth?" Earth's head whipped to the guy, his face showing surprise. Has he met him before? "You never told me you were working here. I could've helped you a little" Earth wanted to speak. What kind of a joke is this?

"Sir, you must have mist-" a stranger got up, putting his arm around Earth before he could finish, his hand clanching gently on Earth's arm. Help me.

"I will have to leave you now, Miss. I am sorry but I haven't seen this person in a long time. I really want to catch up with him" without waiting for her reply the guy moved them away from the scene.

Earth could hear this stranger letting out a breath he was holding when he let go of him. He took a card from his pocket "You are free to come and search for me if you need something" card was carelessly put on the counter.

Still confused about what happened just now all Earth could do was to say "You are welcome P'" before the guy was out the door. Rude.

Not even a second passed and one of his co-workers, Sammy, was by his side "Ohh, who was that hendsome guy?" she was looking at Earth with what he calls a teasing look in her eyes.

"Soo, what did he give you? His number? Don't even try to lie, I see everything"

"Nothing" Earth answered but he already took the card, putting it in his pocket. Maybe it could come to use.

"Earth" Earth couldn't help but to smile at her tone. From the first moment they met, they knew they will be friends. With Sammy, different from Fluke, he could talk without getting into an arguement. Anyhow he would get what he wanted it's just Fluke was his bij who would put up a fight, and Sammy was easier to handle for sure. All in all, they both want the best for him. Never would he admit it to their faces but he was thankful.

Earth threw a quick glance at the clock. He was done for today "Take care of this for me" he gave her the paper with all of the orders left "I have a date to catch" he left a exitedly screaming Sammy behind himself.
