Cofee shop AU
Wendy Courderoy hated coffee. She couldn't stand the taste of it. It's bitterness made her want to vomit. This wouldn't have been an important issue if not for the fact that she worked in a coffee shop. Jobs were few and far between and when she had found one with three open applications, she and her best friend Tambry had signed up instantly. They had been working super hard for the last month or so until a week ago when the final application had been filled.
He said his name was Mason, but his friends called him Dipper, and as soon as Wendy saw him she wanted him.
Wendy had never had the most successful of relationships, so when a cute, slightly dorky, intelligent guy walks into her life Wendy was determined to not look a gift horse in the mouth. So they started talking, a lot. Every time they had a free second they'd talk about everything and anything. Wendy knew that he was into conspiracy theories and the world being not as it seems and she knew that he preferred DC to Marvel, a decision she could thoroughly get behind.
Just as Wendy thought she might be getting somewhere with this guy, a pretty blonde problem walked through the door.
Wendy knew who she was, everyone knew who Pacifica Northwest was, only 25 and she'd seized her father's company, completely revolutionised its direction and then taking a back seat to watch her plans come to fruition. So when she walked through the door, saw Dipper and wrapped him in a massive hug, Wendy felt her heart drop to her stomach. Wendy was aware that Pacifica was rumoured to have a secret lover somewhere in the city and the way she'd made a beeline for Dipper, Wendy had a good clue who it was. She shot daggers at the heiress as she felt Tambry's hands gently massage her shoulder blades.
"It's okay girl, you'll get him. That high-society rich girl's got nothing on you." Wendy nodded her head and waited for her competition to leave.
As the days went by Wendy became more and more flirtatious with her colleague, she'd made a few suggestive comments and made little bits of physical contact with him every chance she could. The boy had responded in turn if a bit flustered every time he did. And then one evening, as she'd been heading home, she'd kissed him on the cheek and whispered "goodnight" into his ear. His response was exactly what she wanted, his face flushed crimson and he spluttered a bit when attempting to respond.
Despite all this thoughts of Pacifica Northwest still plagued her mind, she knew that the girl was something to the boy she just wasn't sure what. On his breaks Dipper would sometimes sit down with the girl and share a drink, or they would talk and laugh at in jokes nobody else understood. But Wendy was determined to stake her claim in the new land of Dipper that had presented itself to her and she was determined to give it a go as was her manifest destiny.
As she was leaving one night, having packed her bag, Wendy noticed Dipper once again talking to the blonde Heiress. As she walked past them she leaned in, kissed him on the cheek and whispered her goodnights.
She couldn't help but notice the blondes eyes grow wide as she stared at the herself exchange exchanged. What wendip failed to notice was the broad grin that followed or the hushed conversation they had as she left.
It was another week until Wendy amassed the courage to ask him out for dinner. It was at the end of another shift and Wendy had seen Dipper half heartedly playing something on his phone when she had walked up to him with a pair of tickets in her hands.
"Hey Dipper, I was wondering if you wanted to go to this old movie marathon with me on Saturday"
The boys eyes lit up as he looked up at her "What like a date?" his voice was a mix of jitters and apprehensive joy. Wendy nodded her head before asking "are you sure Pacifica will be okay with that, aren't you two like? You know?" Dipper raised his eyebrows before bursting out laughing. "me and Paz? No no no, she's my sisters fiancé we've just been friends for a really long time." Wendy let our an audible sigh before wrapping him in a hug, "see you tomorrow then Pines."
As she walked away all she could hear was a mumbled, "see you tomorrow."
