I woke up after my alarm went off. It was my first day of work since i moved to my new house. It felt pretty normal to go to work but this time it's only like ten minute long walk and i don't have to drive all the way to the park.
I get up from my comfy bed with my feet immediately touching my new fluffy carpet. I walk into the small halway towards the kitchen. On the way i looked in the big mirror that was palced near the kitchen entrance and stare for a while. "Wow i look like shit." i say to myselft before entering the kitchen.
I make myself a coffe and shove a toast in my mouth. I walk back to my room grabbing the pack of cigarettes and head to the balcony. The cold autumn wind flashed my face with coldness. I take the blanket George handed my yesterday and wrap it around my shoulders. I light up my cigarette letting the warm smoke fill up my lungs.
Every once in a while i take a sip of my coffe and a bite of my toast. My head is full of thougts of how my work will get going today. As i take another puff from my cigarette George joins my presence. "Good morning neighbour!" he says with a smile. "Good morning. You have to stop calling my neighbour. It's weird." i say with a chuckle. He drops his smile and i feel guilty. "I didn't mean it in a bad way sorry if it sounded like it." i say in an appology tone. He turns to me with a smile back on his face.
We are both just staring in the distance without saying anything. The silence is kinda awkward until he speaks again. "So when are we going for that coffe?". I look at him with a confused look. Oh shit. We were suppossed to go on a coffe toghter today. "Oh um what about right now." i smile hoping he didn't notice i forgot. "Sounds great meet you down in ten minutes." he says and walks back inside his apartment. I sight in relief. "How could i forget?" i laught at myself while getting ready.
I quickly brush my teeth and head downstairs. I put on my red Converse, a jacket and top it with a grey beanie. I walk outside locking the door behind me and see George already waiting for me. "Sorry if you waited for too long." i say as i walk towards him. "I just got here so it's fine." he replies with the same smile he always wears.
Always? What do i mean by always? I don't even know him... yet.

I was waiting outside for Y/n to come out so we can go get coffe in her Coffé shop. I think it's pretty cool to own your own shop at a young age. You can do thing how you like it and you don't have to listen to any manager because YOU are the manager. Maybe i should start a small bussines. It would definitelly help me from not sitting by my setup all day.
My thougts got disturbed by Y/n walking towards me. "Sorry if you waited for too long." she says still walking towards me. "I just got here so it's fine." i say as i smile but the truth is i don't even know for how long i've been waiting but i definitelly didn't just get here.
We start walking in the direction of her Coffe shop. The situation is kinda awkward beacause none of us is talking. "So wha-.." we both say at the same time. It was silent for a second and then we both burst out laughing. "You first." i say still laughing a little. "I was going to ask, what do you do for living?" she sounded really interested. I think for a second. Should i tell her i'm a content creator or is that weird? "Um i a.. a programmer." i finally spit out of myself. She chuckles at my response and i join her picturing myself sounding like an idiot.
"Now you." she said. "What now me?" i ask confused. "What were you going to ask obviously." "Oh. What are you doing at your shop all day?" i asked. "I serve costumers. What else would i be doing?" she answers with a small laugh. I laugh but i feel like an complete idiot. "Are you okay?" she asks but i see the grin forming on her face. "Yeah why?" "You're like a tomate to." she laughs. I try to put a straight face but i fail and eventually join her laughter.
We are walking thru the park for a few minutes before we end up right infront her shop with people already waiting outside. "Hi! Give me a few minutes and i'll be right here." she says to the three people waiting for her. They greet her back and nod. She unlocks the door and waves at me to come in before she shuts the door behind us. "You know these people?" i ask. "Yes. Well no. But they come here every day of the week so i can tell i know them i guess." i just nod at her answer as she starts to get ready.
I watch her as she pulls an apron thru her head and starts quickly cleaning all the counters and tables. She look so peacefull as she fixes all the stuff until it's perfect. I can tell she loves her job just by looking at her as she cleans hums a melody i don't know. "What are you looking at?" she asks with a smirk formed on her face. "Uh nothing i just.. um" i stutter. She just rolls her eyes playfully and opens the door for the costumers to come in. I can see a few new people joind the line.
"George come here. Put this on." she hands me an apron. I look at her in confussion. "You thought you can get coffe for free? In your dreams." she says jokefully and starts serving the costumers. I put on the apron and at what she is doing trying to copy her. I honestly don't care about helping her. I listen to a few conversations she is having with her costumers and take a tine notebook placed behind the counter.
"Um h-hi. What can i get you today?" i ask an old looking lady sitting by a single table by herself. "Good morning dear. I would like this." she shows me her order on the menu and i nod as i write the number in the notebook. I smile at her and turn to walk away towards the counter where all the coffe machines where made. "Wait." she says in a kind voice. I turn to her and smile "Anything else you would like miss?" i ask.
"Are you miss Y/ns new boyfriend?" she asks with a grin. I bet i just turned completely red. I feel my cheeks heeting up. "U-uh no. We are just friends." i say. She grins at me once again "If you say so.". I laugh uncomfortably and walk towards the counter. "What are you doing?" Y/n shows up behind me with raised eyebrows. "Helping you?" i ask ironically. "I though you were a programmer not a waiter but you do you." she giggles as she walk towards the coffe machines.
My mom thought me how to use a coffe machine since we have one at home. These are a bit different but i think i can do this. I put the mashed coffe into a triangle shapped paper and put it inside the machine. As i expected the small drops of coffe start to fall down into a cup. After the coffe is ready i serve it to the lady and she grins at me once again and thanks me for the coffe.

I watch as George walkes towards one of the coffe machines. I'm about to tell him i'll do it but then he starts pouring the coffe pouder in the right place. He acts like he knows what he is doing and that's pretty unexpected. I serve my other costumers while i watch him serving coffe to miss Anderson. I see her grining at George and i already know what is she talking about with him.
I quckily hand the order to a couple sitting in one of the bigger tables and walk my way towards George who is now standing by the counter. "What were you guys talking about?" i ask looking at miss Anderson while she drinks her coffe. "Oh it's nothing." he says. "And that nothing made your face looking burned?" i ask with a grin. I don't wait for his answer and just walk away to serve other costumers with a smile stuck on my face.
The rest of the day new people are comming and those who drank their coffe are leaving. I wave everytime a familiar costumer walks in. With George helping me we are done pretty quickly. I'm surprised how quickly he got into work without spilling anything or ruining an order. "I guess some people are born with having a talent of being a waiter." i say to myself as i smoke at the back of the small building.
And as i finish my sentence a loud crash comes from the inside. "Shit." i curse and walk inside. Only a few people are still finishing their coffe and all of their stares are following George in the middle of the place with spilled order and broken pieces of glass around him.
"I'm so sorry i didn't mean to." he says as i walk towards him helping him to clean the mess. All the people left where back into doing their own stuff again. "It's okay. Shit happens and you don't even want to know how many times this happened to me." i say trying to make him feel better. He just smiles and continues cleaning up the mess.

I didn't know i would be spending my whole day working in Y/ns shope but it was pretty fun. Sometimes i caught her staring at me as if she was surprised by my experience. That was until a spilled one order and i felt pretty guilty. I'm glad she didn't think much of it.
Around 5pm we finished cleaning up the whole place and now we are walking home together. "Oh shit." she suddently says. "What? What happened?" i ask. "I completely forgot about our coffe for which you came here for in the first place."
"It's not a big deal. I really enjoyed this day anyways. If i wasn't with you working i would probably sit home all day." i say with a chuckle. She let's out a small laugh but i can feel she feel guilty. "I'll make it up to you." she suddently says. "Oh no you don't have to i'm fine honest-.." she stops me.
"But i want to. What about a dinner at my place tonight. You worked all day you deserve it." she says with a smile. "You worked all day too. That's not fair." "Yeah but i'm payed for my work so i think it's pretty fair." "Yeah i guess you're right. You should pay for my work." i say jokingly. She slaps my shoulder and we both laugh.
"So at 7pm tonight?" she asks before she walks in her apartment. "Sounds great see you then." i smile and head inside. "Wait. Don't forget you can just knock at my balcony door so you won't have to walk down here for no reason." she says with a smile as she shuts the door.
