An unexpected love

Chapter 1

Like usually, Priestly went to Beach City Grill, the shop where he worked everyday as cook. His co-worker already were here and was working.

"Always late, Priestley !" A red-haired girl exclaimed. He looked at her. It was Tish, his former girlfriend. They were together for two months before realizing they weren't destined to be together. They were so different and Priestly wasn't the guy for Tish. The fact to have to change for her was against what he thought, what he told a friend in the past and so he had taken back his appearance from before, feeling more at-ease like that. The red-haired girl had understood that and now, in spite of their break-up, they still were good friends.

"It's not my fault my alarm clock didn't ring," he said. A girl sat in front of a computer laughed. It was Jen, another friend.

"Say it actually was you didn't want to wake up and so you threw your alarm clock." It was the truth but Priestly would never say that. It wasn't his fault if the night, he didn't manage to sleep just after going to bed.

"Where are Piper and Trucker ?" he asked after noticing the two he had mentioned weren't here. Trucker was the owner of the shop whereas Piper was a clerk, and another friend. It was infortunate to say that but Tish, Jen, Piper and Trucker were his only friends. It was the only who accepted him for what he was. They hadn't judged him on his appearance and had learnt to know him before having their own idea on him. Unfortunately because of his appearance and what people thought about that, he didn't have somebody to share his life with, somebody who accepted him for what he was and who really loved him. His friends did stop to tell him he'll find somebody but sometimes he had difficults to believe that.

It was Jen who answered. "Trucker has something to do but he'll come back this afternoon, and Piper is with Noah and his daughter. Noah is sick and so she has to take care of Julia (I don't know if it's daughter's name)." Priestly nodded and put his apron. Then he started to cook.

The morning went by, and they already had sold many sandwiches. Jen, Priestly and Tish still were alone with two familiar customers. It was quiet and whereas Jen talked with her boyfriend though the computer, Priestly and Tish played to pass the time. The cook had done a lot of sandwiches before and nobody came for a moment.

"I have to go to the bathroom," Tish said. She left and Priestly found himself alone. He sighed and searched for something to do. Suddenly the door opened and Priestly raised his head to see the new customer. His heart stopped a beat when he saw the person was a young and very beautiful man. The latter had shaggy brown hair and beautiful blue and green eyes. He watched him come closer and raise his head. Unlike many people, the man didn't react to his appearance.

Eventually Priestly found his voice and spoke. "Good afternoon, what can I do for you ?" The young man smiled softly and answered. The cook surprised himself to like this sweet voice.

"Hi. I'd like two sandwiches please."

"What sandwiches ?" The man looked at the list of sandwiches and said the name of those he wanted. Fortunately for Priestly, one of them wasn't prepared yet because it was a sandwich that a few people took. So he put the meat to cook and, while he wrapped the other, he started to talk with his customer. "I'm Priestly and you ?" The man smiled.

"Sam." For a moment, Sam and Priestly talked although the latter noticed the young man was shy. But he really liked that, especially when Sam blushed. He found him adorable. Eventually the last sandwich was ready and Sam had to leave after paying. Priestly looked at him and when the door was closed, he sighed. Jen raised her head from the computer and stared at him.

"You like him," she said teasing. Priestly turned around her and protested.

"What ? No !"

"Yes, you like him." Tish came back at this moment.

"What's happening ?" she asked confused. Whereas Jen told her what it just happened, Priestly watched the door, thinking about this guy named Sam.
