The following days blurred together into one tedious cycle. My new boss was a sexist bastard that made all the women wear slutty uniforms and treated us like shit. Meanwhile, the men wore white dress shirts and black dress pants. The skirt barely passed my ass and the shirt showed too much of my cleavage. I'm not saying the outfit itself is bad, but it's not what I want to wear at work when I'm surrounded by a bunch of horny drunk men every night. My first day was a bust with my boss. I didn't get the memo about the uniform, so I just showed up in what I used to wear at the old bar. The fact that I showed up late also didn't make the best impression

It was the last day of party week and I haven't seen Daveed at all. I was kind of hoping to see him again. I left for work in my normal clothes because I learned the hard way not to wear my uniform out in the public streets of New York. I had some time before my shift so I decided to grab some coffee. I hit the coffee shop around the corner from the bar. When I walk in, the air becomes warm and rich with the smell of coffee. I get into line and go onto twitter while I wait.

"Next!"

"Hi-uh I would like a medium black coffee please."

"Alright, is that it for-Y/N?!?"

"Rick? Gosh, it's been so long."

"I know it really has."

"I didn't realize you were in the city."

"Yeah, same here. Listen, I have a break in five minutes, do you want to wait here and then we could talk for a few?"

"Sure."

"Ok, so will the coffee be it?"

"Yes." I hand Rick the money and wait by the pickup area. I grab my coffee and head over to a table by the window. A few minutes pass and then Rick sits down across from me.

"So, how have you been y/n? It's been ages."

"I'm doing ok, how are you?

"Same. Are you still in school?"

"Yes, I'm in med school actually. So it's going to be awhile until I'm done."

"Oh wow. I see you pursued your dream."

"Yeah. How about you, are you still in school?"

"Yeah. I'm studying to become a lawyer."

"Nice. I see you pursued your parent's dream."

"Ha, there's that humor that I've missed."

"It was really nice seeing you again."

"Same here. Hey, we should do this again sometime."

"Yeah, definitely!"

"Here's my number." Rick said as he quickly scribbled numbers onto a napkin.

"Thanks, see you soon."

"You too."

I left the shop with nostalgia filling my head. After seeing an old high school friend, I felt like my shift wouldn't be so bad. Alas, I had spoken too soon. When I got to work, my boss was not in a good mood. He was yelling at everybody in his sight. I quickly ran into the break room and grabbed my uniform out of my locker. I changed in the bathroom and then got ready for an impending headache that would surely come. The last day of party week was always the worst. Last year, the cops had to come because there was a huge bar fight. One man went through the window, another was lying in the middle of the dance floor, and somehow, a guy was hanging on the light fixture!

As people started coming in, I was cautiously planning the quickest escape through one of the exits if things got out of control. So far, the night had been like the previous nights. Rowdy people, loud music, and too much PDA. It was about 1:00 am when this creepy man came up to me.

"Heyyyyy. I'll have a shot of vodka and your number."

"Um, excuse me?"

"You heard me. Damn, that ass fine. And those tits, ooooo"

"I can only get you the vodka."

"C'mon. We can have fun tonight."

"No thank you. Here is your vodka. Now stop harassing me."

"Bitch I ain't harassing you. Let's go back to my place. I can show you wonders." He slurs as he grabs me by the waist from over the counter.

"Let. Me. Go." I say through gritted teeth.

"I'm just trying to have some fun." He says as his hands start wandering. My face gets red because now some people at the bar are staring. His grip becomes tighter and I keep saying to let him go. He starts touching my breasts when I punch him right in the face. He clutches his face and I use that chance to run. I manage to make it outside and I just decide to go home. I'm freezing and this uniform isn't keeping me warm one bit. I hear some footsteps behind me and I prepare myself to attack when they call out my name.

"Y/n!" I look behind me and it's Daveed. "Hey, I saw that. I'm so sorry I couldn't make to you in time. I did some damage to him right after you left though. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I-I'm fine." I stutter. You shiver from the sudden gust of wind that sends your skirt flying further your thigh.

"Jeez y/n, you must be freezing." Daveed says as he takes off his sweater and puts it on you. It basically swallows you. "Is that your uniform for work?"

"Uh, yeah."

"Wow." Daveed exclaims starts to blush.

"Yeah..." 

"So how have you been? Besides tonight."

"I've been ok. How about you?"

"Same."

"Mmm. If I may ask, where were you the past week? I didn't see you at the bar since Monday."

"Oh, I was helping a friend get better. My friend Raf got sick and he was being a baby about it so I had to basically be his mother. Otherwise, I would've been there every night."

I blush at this. 'Y/n you're overthinking this. He's a fun guy so he would just go to the bar to drink and have fun with his friends.' You nod your head at him. The two of you walk in silence the rest of the way to your apartment.

"Thank you again, Daveed. Honestly, thanks for everything."

"No problem."

"Here, let me give you my number. Maybe we could grab coffee sometime. My treat."

"I will take you up on that offer." You exchange numbers and watch him as he disappears into the cities darkness. You get into your apartment and realize that you still have his sweater.You get ready for bed and lay down, still wearing the sweater. You breathe in the scent of his cologne and fall asleep. 

~~~Author's Note~~~

Hey. I hope you like this chapter as well. Ignore the POV changes such as when I say 'I saw him.' and then go to 'You walked over.' Today has been too hectic for me to try to make sense and fix all that. Actually, I'm just too lazy so most if not all my chapters will have something like that. Oh well. Don't forget to vote and I hope you guys likes this chapter.
