"I know, I miss you too Kel." Layla said to her friend who was back in Florida with Layla's other friends. It was 8.30 in the morning and Layla was getting changed for her day job. Working in her local coffee shop called, 'Chicago coffee' basic name, quite catchy to Layla. "Ok kelly, I have no go now but I'll call you later, bye." Layla said as she took her phone from her ear and hung up. She missed her friends but she knew she had to look passed it and focus more on her new life here in Chicago. Layla quickly grabbed her keys and headed out the door. As she entered the cafe Beth, the owner handed her an apron and ordered her to start straight away. She tied her apron around her little waist, tied her hair up and went straight to work.
Layla was starting to like this job. Friendly staff, nice customers, Layla was enjoying her day. She smiled just thinking about it as she handed a man the latte he ordered. She made her way back to the till as she heard the door squeal as someone opened it. She looked up to see two filmier guys standing searching for a free table. One of they guys was Phil. Layla bit her lower lip as she saw how hot he was looking today with his black knee-high shorts and his grey hoodie. She quickly shook out of those thoughts as the other guy headed towards the counter as Phil went and sat at the free table.
"Hi. What would you like?" Layla said trying a little to avoid eye contact with the guy she saw last night.
"Um, I'll have two black coffees plea-." The guy stopped talking as he was starting to remember the woman's face. "Hey, wait a minute, your that pizza girl from last night." The man said smiling like he had won a prize for something. Layla couldn't ignore the fact the guy recognises her.
"Yeah, your the guy who i delivered the pizza too." Layla said smiling nervously.
"Well actually that was my friend, but anyhow, am Colt." Colt said extending his arm out over the counter.
"Hi, am Layla. Nice to know your name." Layla said shaking his hand now realising what she said was a bit weird. "Anyway, two black coffees coming up, I'll take them to your table when there ready." Layla said as she started to make there beverage. Colt nodded and headed back to his table. "Nice to know your name, what?" Layla mumbled to herself as she continued to make the coffee.
She walked nervously to the table holding their very hold drinks. She finally reached the table trying to not make any eye contact with either of them.
"Here's your coffee." Layla said placing the drink on the table.
"Well I wish I could stay but I actually have to leave." Colt said as he stood up from his chair. "See you later Phil and bye Layla." He said as walked away from the table. Layla sent him a small wave as he left the coffee shop.
"When are you on your break?" Phil asked taking a small slip for his coffee. Layla turned around to face him as he waited for an answer.
"Um, *looks to the clock* now actually." Layla said sending Phil an innocent smile.
"You like black coffee?" Phil asked looking down at the drink his friend ordered and then back up at Layla.
"Yeah, I guess. Could I ask why?" Layla said tilting her head a little to the side as she twiddled with her fingers.
"Well I thought it would be nice to chat to a pretty pizza girl for 10 minutes than sit here all alone." Phil said placing down his coffee. Layla's cheeks turned a little red. She liked getting compliments, especially from someone as hot as him. "So will you join me?" Phil asked as curiously wondering what the answer would be.
"Um, ok, why not?" Layla said as she sat down in the chair opposite him
"So how long have you been training wrestlers?" Layla asked as she took a sip out of the coffee Phil gave her.
"A few years now, it's a fun job." Phil said finishing off his coffee.
"I like watching SmackDown and Raw in my free time. Been watching it ever since I can remember." Layla said smiling remembering the times watching it with her family.
"Hey, you free tonight?" Phil asked eagerly.
"Sadly no, I have a shift at Carl's pizza place, but I'll give you my number if you ever want to, you know, hang out or something." Layla said a little nervously. She felt she was flirting with him, which was hard not to do.
"Ok." Phil said quite calmly as he started to get his things together. Layla ran over to the counter with the money he handed her as she collected his receipt for the till and wrote down on the back her number. She knew she was finished for today so she quickly thanked Beth and walked over back to Phil.
"Here is your receipt and three dollars change. Layla said as she handed his the money and piece of paper that was in her hands.
"Than-wait, you gave me five bucks more change?" Phil said a little confused.
"I know." Layla said as backed away smiling at him until she was fully out the doors. Phil now catching on shoved the money in his pocket and the left the cafe heading another direction. Layla felt all tingly inside. She knew she just met the guy but that didn't stop the butterflies she was feeling inside. With her smile attached to her face, Layla entered her apartment.
"Layla, same favour as last night but could you please take this pizza to the house on your way home?" Carl said handing Layla the box as she was ready to leave. Layla looked at the address to see it was Phil's, number 13.
"Would love to, anything for you Carl." Layla said as she left the pizza place. Her face lit up as she walked to his apartment. She tapped on the doors a few times until she heard it rattle. The door opened to Phil and his friend.
"You ordered pizza?" Layla said playfully as she handed him the box.
"You want to come in?" Phil said as his eyes grew wider.
"Thanks but am too tired." Layla said yawning loudly. She counted the change. She saw that Phil gave her the extra five dollars again. She looked up at him as he flashed his smile. "Take of back." Layla said moving her hands closer to him.
"Um, no, bye." Phil said smiling closing the door. Layla giggled away to herself as she walked back to her apartment. She was starting to grow fond of this guy. She like him. A lot.
