(AN: I don't own Twilight or its characters, they're my puppets)

This is my first day on job in the Restaurant of Great Heights, straight out of college, something that only happens in movies and I'm lucky enough to obtain it.

Think good thoughts, no one knows you and it's a good opportunity to make friends, yeah right, I'm quieter than a mouse.

My coworkers are Isabela and Marcela, they seem nice enough and my boss is called Charlotte, but we can call her Charlie, to me it's not a good idea since first impressions matter. When we are almost done by 4pm, thank God, we've been here 5 hours already and that is when the rest of the crew comes in because I work the day shift, and the night shift is starting. John is the first cook, Hunter is his second in command, later comes Susan and lastly to arrive is Stewart, but more of the team is missing because they alternate work days.

When I'm in the kitchen moving out the door Hunter says: "This isn't a dance floor for you to dance in." He says this because I move like I'm dancing when evading my coworker's bodies when they are dealing with the stove.

I feel anger in my chest and turn in his direction saying: "Look, I do what I want" and keep going my way.

To say that we had a rocky start is an understatement.

Of course months flew by and we ignored each other because he's a dick, although I got along with Norbert, a quiet fellow like myself and David, a prep-cook that was promoted to line cook because Susan was in maternity leave. I miss David sometimes, but see him when he comes to his shift.

I honestly don't know my relationship with Hunter shifted, but it did.

One time while in the stove doing one of the dessert items that requires no spilling so I kept repeating to myself self-confidence and Hunter hears me. David starts to tease me because he can be a goofball/dick sometimes so I ignored him but Hunter started to defend me, I interjected him repeating: "I'm good, I'm good"

He says: "You are good"

I reply: "I know"

One night we, as in Isabela, Marcela and I were done working so we decided to be around Norbert in his station since he wasn't doing anything and started talking.

I ask Norbert: "what does it feel like to be surrounded by women?"

He responded with: "Tiring."

And because he was bored he pointed at Isabella's shirt which was missing a button, she looked down and he said:

"Made you look"

I started to crack up and she was like: "Oh you're going to laugh?"

I replied: "Yeah."

Hunter then came out of nowhere to say to Norbert: "Remember when she was all serious didn't smile, now her smile lights up the place"

I instantly frowned thinking: what the fuck?

Isabella had this expression of what was going on? That was so awkward because I didn't know what to feel so I frowned.

We were finishing up and Hunter bend down to get something and I felt something on my leg so logically looked down and jumped away surprised and walked/ran to the refrigerator,

He said: "I'm not that ugly"

Making my rounds in the refrigerator, as in doing inventory of what we did that day because I tend to be forgetful, Hunter came through the door and I went to the door and he said:

"Don't evade me"

I went to the freezer and saw that the Red Velvet cake had a piece taken out and went to get Isabella, but he was kneeling in front of the door so I had to wait until he was done by leaning against the produce section.

Later I came with her to the refrigerator and I said:

"Permission to pass boy",

"Boy?": he asked, he is older than me, maybe five years or more but didn't let me pass, even though I was pressing the door to pass he kept looking into my eyes, in that moment was when I knew the meaning to feeling in a hurricane while looking into his eyes.

Hunter was in the refrigerator, yet Isabella and I were playing with the air conditioner in the freezer by seeing our breath and I was laughing and she was like:

"Ok I'm done", I laughed harder.

He talked to John about what the girls were up to in freezer and saw my red face and said: "Look at her face!" I told him to shut up.

I was doing the cookies in the kitchen considering that there was time left before the night shift came, and Hunter came through the door, while being polite asked me how I was doing,

I replied: "Good" and asked how he was, he answered:

"With peace, love" and he asked me again how I was, so I answered:

"Exaggeratedly good"

He replied: "Good", all while maintaining eye contact. His eyes are enchanting because sometimes I can't help but look away due to their intensity and in other times I can't look away.

Hunter was singing about hands around her body, my guess is he got laid. He and John were prepping for their shift so I asked if they needed me to move upstairs, they said not yet.

Hunter said: "I'll tell you when we need space",

He never said anything I just did my business painfully aware of the them working around me. Hunter grabbed my shoulder and asked me if I thought him capable of bad things,

I answered: "I think everyone is capable of doing stuff",

He asked me again: "But do you believe me capable?"

I answered: "I don't know you enough to determine that" and

He replied with: "Honest answer". All while looking into my eyes.

Finally finishing my task cleaned my area and went on my 30mnt. break and Hunter was singing again, being in a happy mood. Once while my back was turned, he grazed his fingers on my shoulder blades and I coiled like a scorpion, later my hands couldn't hold onto anything, I kept thinking: "Wtf is going on with me?"

Hunter sang: "She was nervous around him."

When Hunter passed through the door he came and squeezed my arm as a hello, I pretty much ignored him all day because I wanted to act normal and not look at him, as in be obvious of my feelings for him. When he left his apron to go to the bathroom on the second floor Colby, another coworker so to speak because his job is next to ours, came and said he liked us and I was surprised and asked: "What?"

He explained: "Yeah because it is peaceful and there aren't fights" and my facial expression was of surprise, Hunter came back from the bathroom and heard all of it, I knew this because he was in the corner of my eye, he stood there for a while and then left. Hunter came looking for the bench scrapper, since this was one of the tools we share so I went to dish to get it and didn't call him when he got out the door, so I went downstairs and gave it to him and he said: "Thank you". After I finished doing inventory I said goodbye to the guys, punched out and was going towards the door while saying: "I did say good bye to them, "they " don't care for it so..." And when I look back Hunter is next to the bar, I do a double take and go towards him all while Francis, the new guy in the team, wants to talk to you.

Both of you look at me and I ask: "Hunter, are you ok?"

He replied: "Yeah" while smiling

I asked once more: "You sure?"

He repeated: "Yeah", while smiling

I'm leaving and he waves goodbye and I look at his hand and then his face, later I stick out my hand and he mimics me, and give him a firm handshake but notice his hand is soft but firm too and he's smiling during all of this and I walk towards the door. I wave at Francis then a bunch of people start to walk in and I open the door for them and smile and when I leave to close the door both of you look like you were staring at me from the corner of my eye. Did you think I have soft hands?

Once we were done with our daily tasks and the night shift started, naturally asked the guys if they needed help in anything. Norbert needed grated cheese so I did it, of course not without cutting myself with the grater and then since no one needed help I went to Hunter, reluctantly. Hunter needed chopped basil, in which I looked for in the refrigerator and came back down to check where he wanted it, as in a container and heard him speak with Charlotte about the temperature of the oven turned low.

Hunter said: " Its ok for the temperature to be low for the peppers to bake" I honestly thought it was chicken, when he said that it was peppers my face turned into a Christmas tree and walked away. My task was completed; I asked again if needed anything, of course Hunter was a wise ass about it and said:

"Can you cover my shift?"

And I replied being the bad-ass woman I am: "Teach me"

Hunter smiled so big his dimples showed, looked down later up at me and started to point out what he had in the top, the refrigerator, explained what went with what. After the lesson I said:

"Out of all you said to me I grasped around 25% to 50%"

Hunter said: "oh dear."

I pathetically wait for the night shift to arrive, as per usual, Hunter comes through the door, greets my coworkers and when he comes to me he says:

"Hi Tink" only for me to hear, he refers to my hair because I recently cut it from shoulder length to neck length. My heart melted and thought of the time he made an announcement to Isabela and Marcela about my hair being short, I wasn't going to tolerate being embarrassed so I responded with:

"You are just jealous"

Hunter said: "Of course I am, I'll just grab sprouts and put it on my head like pigtails" Later I told him that is his new nickname and he responded with: "You can call me whatever you like."

Back to the moment at hand, my heart melted because I felt special like I was a piece of him no matter how small it was. When the girls left before me and didn't say goodbye to Hunter because he likes to be parted with was surprised by this and when I left saying:

"Bye guys, have a nice shift"

Hunter automatically said: "Yeah, you too"

Puzzled by his response replied with: "I'm already off"

He smiled in embarrassment and shook his head.

Hunter came with a serious face, lately he has been coming with that face and from what I've seen of him, that isn't his normal behavior so I started conversation.

"Hey Hunter, you have something on your face"

He got his phone and looked through his camera, kept looking until I said:

"You have a frown" he didn't get it so I had to explain it using my own facial expression until he got it. When he did, he turned away with 'what an idiot she is' expression.
