Jude looked up to see her apartment mate, Pasty Sewer, a twenty one year old junior.
"It's okay Pats," Jude told her girl best friend. "I covered for ya."
"Thanks, Blondie. Jamie can just get so apprehensive about being late."
Jude smirked, "he's totally crushing on you. You are aware of that."
"But he's such a dork!" Patsy protested.
"A hot one nonetheless," Jude pointed out.
"Not unless he'd ditch those glasses!"
"So you admit it!" Jude exclaimed.
"You do understand how totally awkward this is, talking about it with the girl who's known him since she was four, right?"
"Eh-hem!" Tommy fake-coughed, trying to remind the girls of his presence. "Coffee?"
"Oh, oh yes! Sorry Pats, but I gotta finish making Tommy's coffee. You owe me for this!"
Patsy rolled her eyes at her friend.
"You know Mr. Ego's name?? Wow, you're sadder than I thought."
"Thanks, Pats," Jude said sarcastically, as Patsy went into the back to set her things down and get her burgundy colored apron.
"So, errr, what's your major then?" Jude asked, as he stuck the thermometer in Tommy's drink.
"I'm a graduated student, for law."
Graduate student? Okay, that was a shock to Jude.
"Surprised?"
"Uh, no. Just didn't expect someone like you to be a lawyer."
Tommy raised an eyebrow.
"Like me? Oh, you mean as sexy looking as me?"
"Wow, Pats is right. You do have a big ego."
"Well then," Tommy said flirtatiously, "Let's see how you do on the spot."
"Are you flirting with me?"
"Well just have to see, now won't we?"
Jude rolled her eyes, and tried to suppress a grin.
"What's your major?"
"Architecture," Jude told him truthfully.
Now it was Tommy's turn to look surprised.
"My friend Jamie and I always use to make up house drawing when we were little. Next thing we knew, we were students at Yale."
"Somehow I think that you left out a bunch of information," Tommy said.
"What, and you didn't?"
"No."
Jude gave Tommy a clearly confused look.
"I gave you all of the information that you asked for. I had no need to say more."
"Lawyers," Jude mumbled, rolling her eyes.
"Damn straight," Tommy grinned cockily, in response to Jude's comment that he obviously heard.
Jude gave the coffee one final stir, before putting a lid on the cup, and then putting it in a holder.
"Here's your coffee," Jude handed Tommy the cup. She smiled the smile that she was supposed to give to customers, but something about this smile seemed a little more personal. Perhaps because of a certain Tommy Quincy...?
"Thanks. Keep the change," Tommy tossed a five-dollar bill on the counter near the register.
"Night, Tommy."
