I throw my apron and run out the door. Free at last!
The shop had to close because of a mysterious substance found in the boys' bathroom.
I walk across the street and through the park. I see a familiar man texting on his phone and sipping his iced mocha. I tap him on the shoulder."Mind if I sit here?"
He tenses up a bit and shakes his head."Sure." As I sit, he says, "What about work?"
"They closed it down for the day. Found a 'mysterious substance' in the bathroom." I roll my eyes. I look at him as he texts and smile.
This boy is actually pretty cute.
He looks up to me staring, and I feel the blood rushing to my cheeks. He chuckles. "You're cute when you blush," he mumbles.
I blush even more. "Thanks," I whisper.
His phone vibrates, and he looks sadly at me. "I have to leave." He says.
I shake my head, and as he gets up I say, "Hey, are you busy tomorrow?"
He shakes his head. "I have absolutely nothing to do. Let's meet here."
As he turns to leave, I interrupt him one last time. "What's your name?"
"Shane," he replies. "And you?"
"Scarlett," I smile as he waves and heads off.
