As i promised, i arrived at work on time. I don't know, i feel like today will be a great day. Or maybe not, because from what I'm seeing it will be a busy day. It is raining and i can see that our three cash registers are now full with line ups.

I've been working here in Tim Hortons (it is a multinational fast casual restaurant known for its coffee and doughnuts, hey don't ask me, it is what it says on wikipedia) for five years now. When i turned 16, i started looking for a job. But only when i was 17 when i got hired in here. I don't feel like quitting this job yet. I don't know, im too comfortable with this job. It helps me have my own allowance and pay for my bills. Yes, being adult is so stressful, too many responsibilities.

When in summer, i work full time hours and when school starts, i work part time hours. Even though they want me to be a full time worker, i declined. I still want to enjoy my youth. They even want to promote me as an assistant manager, but i declined that also. Again, with the excuse of me studying and wanted to have fun also.

As soon as i step into the restaurant, i saw Amanda, the manager, sighed for relief because now they can serve the customer faster but still accurate.

She assigned me to partner up with Lea. She been working here longer than me. She is the one i could say my best friend here in work. She's a bit older than me but we connect instantly. Our minds works in the same thing. The whole crew even tried to match us up but i instantly shut it down when i said that im gay. After that, Lea and I become friends. She even tried to find me dates, but all of them aren't compatible with me. There is no connection.

"Princess, you're working today. I miss working with you" She yelled when she saw me. And yup, she just called me Princess. Since she found out im gay, she given me that nickname. Good thing no one copies her.

"Well im not looking forward to it, i much prefer you as a friend rather than a work partner. Your too slow, and you always mess up order" I replied, even though it is all lie. She is one of the fastest member here and she rarely gets mistakes. Customers love her.

"If im slow, what do you call yourself? You're slower than me Princess", she responded.

"Whatever"

"Hey stop chit chatting and start working" Amanda said to the both of us.

And with that, we stopped talking and started to work. Mitch is in cash and im her backup.

-----

After three hours of non stop working, becaues it was busy and its morning rush. Did i mentioned my work is located near a subway/train station so it was always busy with the commuters? so yeah, we're busy. Good thing the rush hour is finish and the customers decreased.

"How's life? Love life?", Michelle asked?

"Well, its been good. Enjoying the summer weather. Oh and all of my boyfriends are fine." I replied.

She laughed because we all know the last part is a lie. Im single since i was born.

"No, seriously, you're not seeing anyone? What happen to Mason?" She looks serious now.

"Well, he after few days of not messaging me, he texted me that he figured out that he is not gay after all and she have girlfriend now. So basically, he just use me as his experiment. And speaking of him, where did you find him anyway?"

"Aww, im sorry to hear that" she stepped closer to me and hugged me. "And to answer your question in how do i know Mason? Well he is a friend of my cousin, we thought youguys might be good together, but i guess not. And Im sorry for what he did."

She then hugged me tightly, good thing there is no costumer in sight and Amanda is not here.

"Well if you want you could try this new app, its called Badoo." She said after releasing me.

"And what does it work?" I asked.

"Well you it is simple only. You register and choose which gender you are looking for. And then you could just choose if you want to meet the person or not. That simple. Either meet the person or not." She explained.

"But please tell me its not Grindr, that app is just for gay people looking for sex. And no, i don't want to experience what happened before."

"Well that one, i can't guarantee because we don't know what kind of people will be in there. But you never know. Oh and you could also choose if you're looking for a friend, chat, or someone to date. Like what i did, looking for a date."

"Oh really? So you're telling me, you're seeing someone right now? Well i just hope, he is not looking for sex only?"

"And what if thats what i want right now?"

"Whatever! I -" I replied but got interrupted by someone entering our store.

"Good Morning Leah! And good morning to your cute partner." A guy older than me said to us and then looked at me intently. Maybe he is around Leah's age, and yes he is good looking, but i can sense from his posture that he is a cocky bastard. Well that, and he tried to flirt with me. I could say he is hot but something about him doesn't make me attracted to him.

"Good Morning Adrian, and meet my friend Princess" Leah happily replied to him.

"It's Prince okay and not Princess, don't embarass me infront of them" I retorded back to her, and i look back to the guy, well Adrian if i heard it right.

"Well nice to meet you Prince and my name is Adrian, at your service" he looked at me, smiled and then bowed to me, as if i was a royalty.

"You don't have to bow to him, he is not a royalty, and right now he is my slave. He'll be doing your order that im guessing will be your regular order of Medium coffee with 2 milks only." She said to him while punching in his order at the regirster and smiling widely to him.

"Make it two coffee, my reguar order and this guy's order" Adrian said while pointing at the back. That is when i notice another guy is with him.

He looks around Adrian's age and it seems like he is serious or busy person. He is focused on his cellphone that i'm pretty sure he doesn't know what is happening here right now, heck where he is right now.

He is a bit taller than me and he is wearing a checkered long sleeve, a dark jeans and i can't see his shoe because of my location right now. He is also wearing a eyeglass. But in him, it doesn't make him a nerd. Oh and he looks fit. Yup, he is my type. (A/N: I'm not good at describing someone's look so im not gonna try. Also, i wanna keep it as a mystery who he is right now)

The customer, Adrian, tries to catch his companion's attention by taking his phone from him. I'm pretty sure this guy will be mad at him.

"Hey! Give it back, im texting Jeanine" They guy yelled to Adrian. And DING DING DING, Adrian's action piss of the guy. Wait, who's Jeanine, is she his girlfriend? Oh men. Another taken hottie. Ugh.

"How could you text her, remember we are at the subway and there is no signal here." Adrian responded back. "But i'm guessing you wont know that because you dont take public transit."

"Fine. Just give me back my phone" the guy said.

"Gave these cuties here" pointing us "your order so we can leave and maybe we wont be late and dont have to message her that we will be late."

So im guessing, Jeanine is their boss. That's a relief.

"Fine" he said and looked at us. And Damn, those eyes are hypnotizing. I'm a sucker for boys with either green or blue eyes. I don't know why?

"Large Black Two Sugars only" the guy said to Leah, who is now stepping on my foot. That is like our signal if the customer is hot. After giving his order he looked at me and smiled. Wait, did i see it right? He smiled to me? Am i just imagining it? Holy Sh-

"Anything else?" Leah replied to him, and thus bringing me back to reality.

"No, that's -" he said but got interrupted by Adrian.

"I think i'll get a blueberr muffin and your name and number for my friend right here" he said while looking at me. What the heck is happening?

"No it's okay, my friend right here is just being an asshole. You don't have to give anything, but i don't mind if you did. I'm Cedric by the way" He playfully punched Adrian then turned to smile at me, again. Seriously, his smile is gonna kill me.

"Sure, Prince will give his number. But you have to pay first. Its 4.80" Leah said to him smiling, while the two guys are laughing. I glared at them. If my looks could kill, im pretty sure there is a mass murder right now.

Adrian paid the amount and that leaves me no choice but make their order. So i went back to my coffee station and made their order. I noticed that Leah indeed write my number on the bag where she put the muffin. Oh, im so gonna kill this lady.

When i made their order, i returned to where they are and gave their two coffees. I tried not to make any eye contacts with the two guys and tried to take the next customer. But with my luck, there is no customer behind them. Where are the people when you need them? So i just said my routine lines when i give the orders.

"Thank you and have a good day."

"Your welcome and im pretty sure you made Drix morning better." Adrian said to me. "And i told you that taking the subway today wil not be a bad thing." He said to his friend while they are walking away.

After they are out of eyesight, i turned to Leah and see her smiling widely.

"Why would you give my number to him? And you memorized my number?" i told her.

"Hey, its kind of obvious you two are checking each other out, so i made the move. Because im pretty sure your not gonna make one. And i know a lot of numbers in mind."

"Fine whatever, just don't give it to anymore customer."
