Chapter 1: Alex
Today officially sucks. And not in the ‘ Aw man I missed my bus and got stuck in the rain’ kind of suck, i mean the kind of suck that leaves you numbly living your life while the people around you start preparing for christmas and you’re all alone cause your parents live in florida enjoying the warm weather while your in new york city for an Education, and your boyfriend of 2 years dumped you three days before christmas to be with his ‘platinum blond secretary’ for the holidays. Great.
I startle as the bell above the door jingles, pulling me out of my spiral.
‘Hello! welcome to The Wandering Baker’
I say with a fake smile plastered to my hot and sweaty face
‘ Can I get a large latte and a chocolate muffin?’
Seriously? Not even a hello?
I start busying myself and get him his latte. When i turn back he’s already seated and scrolling his phone.
‘Hey, Sir, I’m so sorry, we’re all out of chocolate muffins. Can i get you anything else?’
He looks up and i can clearly see his face now. Damn he’s handsome. High cheekbones and striking blue eyes that look like the atlantic sea was looking right st me, with an annoyed- wait, annoyed? How the fuck can he be annoyed at ME for a dwindling supply of really fucking sought after-
‘Uh yea that’s fine. Do you have anything else that’s chocolate?’
Im taken aback by the neutral expression he now holds.
‘Yep! Would you like a chocolate donut instead?’
‘Uh yes to-go please’
until we get at least one comment I’m not gonna write Nate’s chapter
