“Charlie.” I picked up a Sharpie with a smile and wrote his name on the cup.
“And you are?”
“Chase, his best friend.”
“Chase.” I wrote his name on the cup.
Charlie pulled some cash from his wallet and handed it to me.
“Thank you. Your coffees will be up right over there. Have a great day!” I brightly grinned.
“You too.” His eye slightly narrowed at me as the corners of his mouth lifted.
As soon as their coffees were made, they took them to a table and sat down.
“I saw you flirting with that one in the dark suit. He’s delicious looking.” Olivia smiled.
“That’s the man I met at the airport.”
“Oh? The sexy but arrogant one?”
“Yep.” I popped my lips.
“Arrogant or not, I’d totally hit that.” She grinned.
“He thinks I work here.” I glanced at her.
“Did you tell him you don’t and are only filling in?”
“Nah. Why bother? Since the rush is over, I need to leave. You don’t mind, right? I have to get to the florist and order the floral arrangements for the party.”
“Go ahead.”
“Great news!” Penelope walked from the back. “Myron, I’d like you to meet my business partner, Olivia, and our best friend/sister, Marley. Girls, meet our new barista.”
After saying hi, I grabbed my purse and walked over to where Charlie and Chase sat.
“It was nice to see both of you. My shift ended, and I’m leaving.”
Charlie glanced at his watch. “It’s only noon. How is your shift over already?”
“Short shift. Bye.” I smiled, turned around, and walked out the door.
One Week Later
“Hi,Myron. How do you like working here so far?” I asked as I walked into the coffee shop.
“I love it. It’s the perfect part-time job while I’m in college.” He smiled.
“And we love having him here.” Penelope hooked her arm around him.
“Are you going to tell her?” Olivia looked at Penelope.
“Tell me what?” I cocked my head.
“That guy you met at the Chicago airport was in here this morning,” Penelope said.
“He wanted to know if you were working.” Olivia smiled.
