"Yeah, I got that," Aubry chuckled. "Brooke did say your name. Speaking of Brooke… Girl, your shift starts in, like, two minutes. You'd better get over here!"
Brooke frowned at her friend. Turning back to Jake, she apologized, "I'm sorry, I've got to go. Feel free to get something for yourself, though."
"It's alright," he assured her. "…Kiss?"
group
"Sure," Brooke agreed with a smile. She reached up to give Jacob a quick peck on his lips, and the smile remained when she pulled away. "I'll see you in a few hours, okay?"
Jake grinned like a lovesick dork. "You bet."
group
(Sorry, I was eating supper!)
"Don't forget to eat something!" Brooke told him as she walked into the back room to change into her work clothes.
(It's alright!)
He nodded and turned to to Aubry, still beaming. "I will have a iced chai and blueberry muffin, if I may."
group
"Of course," Aubry said as she started to get his order ready. Once it was finished, she handed it to him. "I'm assuming you'll be wanting Brooke's discount?"
"I suppose so…" he shrugged.
group
Aubry tapped a few things into the iPad they used as a computer screen. "Okay, your total will be $5.47," she declared. "So. How long have you two been dating? I haven't heard her say anything about a boyfriend before. Though she has talked about her best friend a lot. And by 'a lot' I mean, like, she mentions you almost every day."
"R-Really?" He flushed. "We uh… just started recently. It's still pretty new…" As in, they just started yesterday.
He took his order and have her the needed money. "Thanks."
group
"Oh, that's cool," Aubry replied as she stuffed the cash in the register and dug out his change. "Here you go. Enjoy!"
Brooke walked out, now wearing a black shirt with a pale pink, purple, and blue logo spread across her chest reading "Coffee Island". Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and a hat matching her shirt sat atop her head. A black apron bearing the same logo as her shirt was tied around her waist.
She smiled at Jake as she walked out. "What'd you get?"
He swallowed thickly. "I uh… got a iced mocha and muffin.."
group
(Didn't he get an iced chai?)
"Sweet! The muffins here are the best, I'm sure you'll love it," Brooke exclaimed, beaming at him.
(Shoot he did.. Sorry I'm multitasking so)
group
(Lol. He did. We could just say he was too flustered to remember or something…)
(Yeah I guess lol)
"It certainly looks delicious…" He gave her a shy smile. "You look nice."
group
Brooke scrunched her nose up. "I do not. I'm wearing my work clothes," she argued.
"You look nice in anything, Brooke," he insisted. "Also, I'd be a bad boyfriend if I thought you looked nice at your best but not at your worst."
group
"Oh… Well, thanks…" Brooke said quietly, blushing. She reached back to absentmindedly comb her fingers through her ponytail.
He coughed. "Yeah. Um. So… I'll pick you up when you're shifts done I guess."
group
Brooke nodded. "I get off at two, so any time around then should work," she said, giving him a small smile. "Thanks for driving me."
Jake moved his arm behind his head, embarrassed. "What was I supposed to do? I couldn't have just left you to find other means of transportation…"
group
"But you still didn't have to drive me," Brooke argued, almost playfully. "I'm glad you did, though. Which is why I thanked you."
"Anytime," he promised, sincerity showing clear.
group
(Shoot, I thought I posted my response, like, 12 minutes ago…)
Brooke smiled, simply looking at him for a moment. She really loved him, and she was so glad they had moved forward with their relationship. A sharp pain in her side made her look to her left, glaring at Aubry.
"What?" she clipped.
Aubry chuckled. "You've gotta work, sweetheart."
"Right…"
(AHHHH I'M SORRY
Went to go eat
Also these two are so cute like)
Jacob cleared his throat. "Right. I don't want to prevent you from working so… I'll see you later."
group
(Lol, that's fine. I literally just got back from washing dishes.
And that is so true! They're adorable and fluffy!!!)
"Oh, yeah. Well, bye, Jake. See you later, I guess," Brooke said with a small wave and a smile.
(Do you want to skip until later, or just let them go through Brooke's whole shift?)
group
group
(Bumping.)
(Ahhh
Okie I'm here and maybe
Skip until later?)
