Cafe of coincidences

Chapter 26

Avery~

After beginning work Zack comes up and ask me "we're is Emily? Didn't she stay the night at your place?"

I nod and say "yeah she's comi-"

Before I could finish my sentence a happy Emily comes jumping in the cafe singing "i... got....blackmail.....on..you......"

I hesitated and ask "wh-what do you mean black mail."

She walks up to the counter and leans on it and says " I found Poems about a person under the name coffee knight."

I flinch and she goes to recite one of the embarrassing poems I have written. I muffle her mouth and embarrassingly ask "ok, ok, ok what do you want so you can shut up?"

She removes my hand and says "I'll take a rain check on that"

She than skips to the back and in to the kitchen. I glare at the kitchen door and the day starts. The day is quite and It goes slowly, not getting as many people as we would normally would, do to the rain. We get a couple incounters with people who think they know coffee better than me and saying that I should be fired. Other than that they bay going smooth. I notice that James hasn't come to get his coffee like he normally dose. An hour goes by and still no James. I go to the back to take my lunch brake and check my phone there's a message from games

  Coffee knight☕️

James: Hey I'm gonna be doing some over time today so I won't be able to walk home with you, sorry I'll make it up to you though I promise.

Avery: It's cool thanks for the heads up I'll see you tomorrow morning than, I can do a special coffee delivery if you would like

James: Heh, no I'm ok I'm drinking the crappy office coffee today

Avery: All right than see you tomorrow

I sigh and put my phone back in my pocket and head back out to work. After I was finished with that I clean the place up. After I finish I look out the window seeing that it's still pouring rain. I lift my head to the roof and grown, I still don't have an umbrella. With a little hesitation I take a step outside and begin walking home. The rain is ice cold and in the slush faze before it begins to snow. As I walk I look around and there is not another person outside walking. I am now completely drenched and soaked to the bone. My fingers are completely numb and I can't feel my face, my hair and cloths are heavy marking the walk home seem even longer. After the long walk home I enter my building getting some glares from people who also live here which I've never have met. I make my way to my floor and to my apartment. It takes me a good three minutes to try and unlock my apartment door cus I can't feel my fingers. I walk in and lock the door behind me I take my wet clothes off as I make my way over to the couch. I lay face first on it and after a few moments end up falling asleep.

After taking a 15/20 minute nap I wake up feeling just as cold as I did before maybe even colder. I and I see that my apartment is 60 digress. I shiver and turn on the heater and make my way to the shower. After washing up I feel light headed. I put my hand on my forehead and feel that it feels kind of warm. I brush is off and try to cook a little some thing. After cooking some eggs I realize that I'm not hungry. I start to walk to my room feeling even more lightheaded. I change in to pajamas and get under the covers thanking fast breaths. I didn't really realize before but I don't really feel good. I fall asleep again a short spam of time goes by and I hear a nook at the door. I go to the door and before I open it I hear James say "hey I picked up a pizza. Want some?"

Without opening the door I say " oh thank you but I'm not hungry."

James says "all right, goodnight,see you tomorrow"

I say good night and I hear him go into his apartment. I walk bake to my room feeling almost faint and lay back down and fall asleep again. I'm awake by my alarm for work I get
Up and start to get ready my body feels heavy and I feel like crap. I button up fore out of five buttons and zip up my skirt and forget to tuck in my shirt I stumble to the door and put one sock on and my shoes without even realizing that I need another sock. I don't put in any contacts in and I don't even brush my hair. I open the front door and stumble out of my apartment in to James he chuckles and says jokingly  "you gotta stop flying out of you're apartment."

I look up to James but I don't make eye contact with him I say faintly "ohh I'm sorry."

James went from a smile to a serious face and he puts his hand on my forehead and says "oh my god you're burning up"
