A/N: I only own the OC.
This is my first attempt at writing, so please be gentle with any criticism. Thanks.
I yawned as I looked at the time... it was 5 am. I had to open the shop in an hour. I loved my job, but being the owner didn't mean much free time or days off. I poured my coffee as Benny nudged my arm. I looked at him and petted him; he had become the cafe cat. He wondered in one night and just never left. I found a dead mouse ever now and then so I just took that as his rent payment.
I set to work on the pastries, brewing the coffee, chilling certain foods, and making sure that I was ready for the day. I heard thunder in outside and knew that today could go either way. I had become a sensation in Clearwater and I was grateful for that. I knew that my father, much to his dismay, was proud of me. He wanted me to take a position in the family firm and make money that way, but I couldn't... it wasn't me. I was happy to be the chairman for the charity foundation and own my own coffee shop.
I heard the door open and it was a few minutes til 6. I wasn't open yet, but I walked out there anyways. I found two men drenched from a downpour standing in the doorway and Benny glaring at them from the bar.
"Morning, You guy alright?" I greeted them and one let out a frustrated sigh, but the other nodded with a smile.
"Sorry to barge in." he said with a deep accent. He was scruffy and had messy reddish hair.
"It just started pouring." the other one said and I gave a small smile. The other one had brown hair pulled back in a ponytail.
"Can I offer you coffee?" I asked them and they looked at each other with a shrug before walking up to the bar and sitting down. I poured them coffee as my speakers started playing Slipknot and I groaned.
"I'm sorry, I haven't set the playlist for today." I said as they chuckled.
"I'm sure this is better than any of the playlist you have." the scruff one with reddish hair said.
"Thanks." I said and they smiled at me as they sipped coffee. Benny came over to investigate and laid down next to the one with red hair.
"You can move him if he's bothering you." I said as I walked out from the kitchen with some dishes, but I looked up to see him petting Benny.
"He's not bothering me." he said and I smiled. The other guy was on his phone and sounded like he was in trouble for not being somewhere else.
"I'm Dean." he said as I looked up at him and I smiled.
"I'm Jodi." I said and he smiled.
"This is Roman." he said and I smiled at him. He smiled at me and continued on his phone call.
"Why are you all out so early?" I asked him and he smirked.
"We went to the gym." he said and I nodded.
We continued to make small talk and the rain continued to pour outside. Roman seemed to be annoyed with it, but Dean kept our conversation going. He was a nice guy and seemed very interesting.
"I called a cab to go back." Roman said and Dean nodded.
"How much for the coffee?" Dean asked me and I waved it off.
"It's on me... you paid with a good conversation." I said he smirked. He took out money and put it in the tip jar and they stood up to leave.
"You should come tonight." Roman said to me and I looked at him confused.
"It's the least we can do for barging in before you actually opened. I will put your name on the list for the show tonight." he said and I nodded. He hadn't talked to me much but he was making a nice gesture.
"What kind of show?" I asked and they both chuckled.
"We are wrestlers with the WWE." Roman said and I nodded.
"I already have tickets." I admitted and they smirked.
"You knew who we were?" Dean asked me and now his mood had shifted to slightly annoyed.
"Actually no, I am going to see a friend. He works for the WWE and sent me tickets. I have never watched wrestling." I admitted and they both looked less suspicious. Dean seemed to relax more and Roman was smirking.
"Still, I will put it on so you can get backstage." Roman said and I nodded.
"My name is Jodi Rengel." I said and they both nodded.
"See you tonight, Jodi." Roman said and headed to the door.
"Tonight." Dean said and kissed my hand. He petted Benny and quickly left after Roman. I must have stood there for a few minutes after they left and smiled like an idiot. Dean was cute, but I knew that it wasn't something I could entertain right now. I put them out of my mind as I started to get busy.
"Why are you so happy?" Hunter asked me as I washed up dishes. We finally had a lull in the afternoon, but it wouldn't last long. I was the only real coffee shop on the beach.
"Tonight." I said and he smiled at me. Hunter was my best friend, and he had great fashion sense. He claimed it he got it from his boyfriend, but I just rolled my eyes when he said that. He was a closet diva.
"What are you wearing? You haven't seen him in years!" he said and I smirked. I knew that it was time to make a good impression and dress up, but I was lazy. I didn't want to do any of that.
"You don't have anything?!" he said after I refused to answer him. I chuckled as he started to think instead of wash dishes.
"I am leaving in an hour to get ready." I said and he nodded, but I could tell that he was still thinking.
"Oh, wear the dress I got you for your birthday." he said and I sighed. He and Tim had meant well, but it was never going to be my style.
"Hunter..." I was saying, but he stopped me.
"Just do it, bitch." he said and I chuckled at him. He was one of the few people I could stand to call me that.
A few hours later...
I had already gotten text to make sure that I was going to be there. I got my tickets, got my backstage passes, and found my seat. I had chosen a vintage t-shirt, some boyfriend jeans, and wedges. I wanted to look good, but be comfortable. Hunter would be upset, but he would move on once I told him I needed a new hairstyle.
I wasn't sure who I would end up seeing first. I hadn't expect for Dean and Roman to follow through, but security guard told me I was lucky when three different superstars had left me backstage passes. I wasn't really sure what to expect at all. I had never been to a WWE event. I just hoped that it wasn't as boring as it looked flipping through the channels.
