“Here you go” I handed the coffee to the handsome young man, he was in here every day and ordered the same thing a coffee no extras just coffee. I always offered different drinks and food but he only wanted the same thing. I turned to leave but I stopped when he started to talk “excuse me but I haven’t ordered yet” I turned to him and smiled at his confused face. “Well, you have been here… for over a month now… I just assumed… I I im sorry” I held my head down and stuttered, I felt so stupid. “Oh I guess I have silly me but thank you, don’t be sorry you don’t need to be” I glanced at his face and realised he was blushing. “Is there anything else you would like?” I asked him curious of if he actually wanted something new. “I’m a little peckish. What do you recommend?” he asked, he was so polite. “Well I really enjoy chocolate which in that case the chocolate cake is yummy, so is the apple pie and the donuts and” I stopped when I realised he was chuckling at me; I blushed bright red realising I had started rambling over different sweet treats. “Sorry” I mumbled out. “Don’t be its nice to know that people are still passionate about food” he laughed as he said it “but apple pie does sound great.” I quickly hurried off to grab him a slice. After I gave him a slice, I had to go serve other people. I was almost finished my shift when Trevor came in, I was behind the counter and let out a groan. “I would help but he is in your section” Taylor said to me. Taylor was the sweetest guy you ever could meet, he was a waiter and he was always nice but I knew he could hold his self in a fight. He had tattoos up one arm but he always was nice to people even when they assumed he was up to no good. Trevor was my ex and was a huge mistake, sucking it up I walked over with a fake smile on my face while walking over I saw the guy I severed early watching me. “Hi, welcome to mumma’s bakery what can I get for you?” I asked Trevor acting like I had never seen him before. “I want you” was all he said. I looked up at him and when I made eye contact I could see he was sincere but those eyes had lied before and I knew they were lying now. “Sorry that’s not for offer anything else” I said has sickly sweet as possible. “I am being polite, nice and sending flowers, why are you being such a bitch?” he said angrily to me. “Well if you haven’t decided yet then I will give you some time” I turned to walk back into the bakery but he roughly grabbed my arm and spun me around. He tried to forcefully kiss me and I was trying to push him back.
