Marian looked up at the clock and saw that for the last 15 minutes she's been working over time. She shut down her computer and walked out of her office towards the main entrance. She stopped only once to poke Djaq in the back and tell her to pack up. Djaq did. They picked up their handbags (Marian's being Chanel, Djaq's being Primark) and headed down to Starbucks. Marian looked at the list of coffees trying to pick the one she wanted most.
'After the day I've just had I need more that just caffeine!'
Djaq just laughed, she knew the feeling.
'It's true!' she protested
'Just keep thinking of that holiday'
'I suppose you're right'
A waiter came over to take their order, a very cute waiter Marian noticed.
'What'll you have?' he asked in a bored voice
'Well,' Marian spied his name tag, 'Arron, I'll have a really frothy cappuccino. What about you Djaq?'
'Oh,' Djaq snapped out of her trance with Arron, 'whatever's cheapest' she smiled slightly at Arron
'Nonsense!' cut in Marian, 'have what you want, I'll pay'
'You did that last time, and the time before'
'So? Arron, she'll have the biggest, hottest, frothiest coffee you have please'
Arron nodded, still bored, and took their order back to the counter to make up their drinks.
'Marian!' Djaq squealed
'What?'
'You can't keep paying for my stuff'
'Why not? I can afford it!' she added cheekily
Djaq shoved her friend, somehow the conversation always came down to their pay packets and how much more was in Marian's!
