Well, you guys probably need an explanation. After 6 months of radio silence, I'm finally posting a new chapter of Anonymous. Between the writers block, busy summer, and school starting and workload increasing, I haven't been able to write as much. This took me three weeks to write. I also have several other story ideas in the works, and they all need to be written. Check out my profile for my ideas!

When we last left off, we found out Kai and Skylor were visiting, Lloyd has a crush on Cole's sister, and our two budding shippers tried to start a plan but couldn't. Now we get to know what Bri does for a living and we see Cole make a huge change in his life. This is kind of a filler because I don't know how to make the main plot work in here. We'll start back up again next time.

"I know that the Brookstones are wealthier than the average middle-classer, but that doesn't explain how Maria owns a Mustang," Jay told Nya as they worked on the car.

"It was her uncle's," Nya responded from under the car. "Lloyd, wrench." She held her arm out for the blond to hand her the tool.

"Uncle Murphy or Uncle Donavon?"

"I think Donavon. He died last year."

"Uncle Donny died?!"

"What are you guys even talking about?" Lloyd asked.

"When you get to know a Brookstone, you get to know the entire family," Nya told him.

"I actually met him a few times myself," Jay added.

"Dude, I've only heard the stories. He sounded like an awesome uncle."

"He was."

"Okay, I'm going to go do something else," Lloyd said as he walked away.

"Sounds like a good idea." Nya rolled out from underneath the car and stood up. "Jay, why don't you get us coffee?"

"What?" Jay asked as he accidentally dropped his tool into the engine of the car.

"There's a coffee shop down the street where we frequent," Lloyd told him. "Just tell them you're from the auto-body shop."

"Do I have to pay from my own pocket?"

"Everything will be explained when you arrive," Nya practically pushed him out the door.

After cleaning up, Jay followed Nya's directions to the coffee shop. It was a quaint little place around the corner from where they worked.

"Winds of Change Coffee." Jay read out loud. The outside area was quiet.

The inside, however, was the opposite.

The place was packed with people. Almost every seat was full and employees were hustling to get everyone their orders. Luckily, the to-go line was empty, so he walked up. A lady with the name 'Naomi' was at the counter.

"Hi, I come from the auto body shop. I was told that you guys know what that means."

Naomi turned around and shouted for a 'Sabrina,' but Jay still wasn't prepared for who came out.

"Oh, hey Jay!" Bri called out as she came from the back room.. She was in her uniform, a black button up shirt with black slacks and black apron. She also wore a cap with the logo for the shop on it.

"Hey." Jay replied. "Bri, right?"

"The one and only. I assume you're coming from the auto body shop?"

"Yeah." Jay said, still confused.

"Great. What'll you be having?" Bri said as she started writing on four to go cups.

"Huh?"

"What's your order? I already know Nya, Lloyd, and Monty's orders, but you're new."

Jay quickly looked over the menu. "I guess an iced caramel macchiato.."

"Perfect." Bri gave two cups to Naomi while she took the other two. "I hope I didn't come off as too overbearing the other night."

"What?" Jay responded, once again confused.

"I tend to overwhelm people with my presence when I first meet them. At least that's what my roommate says."

Jay looked back to the party where Bri hugged him and then threatened him.

"Wh-why would people say that?" He stuttered, trying to seem sincere.

"That's why." Bri finished her work and put the two drinks she prepared into a drink holder while Naomi came up with the other two. "Okay. One iced coffee, one cream, 5 sugars; one vanilla bean Frappuccino with one pump raspberry syrup; one iced caramel macchiato; and one iced mocha latte. There you are." She handed the drink holder to Jay and walked away.

"Uh, I don't need to pay?" Jay asked.

"I practically run the place. And that's my deal with Nya: she pays half my rent, I give her free coffee. See you later." And Bri disappeared into the back again.

Jay stood there shocked for a second before leaving with the drinks.

"Wow. That was quick, even for Bri." Nya grabbed the iced coffee from the drink holder. "I guess it's not that busy."

"No, it was busy," Jay said as he grabbed his macchiato and held the Frappuccino toward Lloyd.

"Uh, that's not mine," the 20 year-old told him as he took the latte.

"Thank you." Monty took the Frappuccino from Jay and then disappeared into the back room.

Jay gave Lloyd a questioning look. Lloyd just shrugged.

"Where do you think I got my sweet tooth from?"

When Nya got home, she found Bri doing something...completely unexpected.

She was giving Cole a haircut.

"What the actual f*ck."

Bri looked up from her work. When Cole tried to do the same, she smacked him, leading to a quick mutter of "sorry."

"What's up?" Bri said as she continued like this was completely normal.

"First, why is Cole getting a haircut in our living room? Second, why is Cole getting a haircut?"

"I felt like I needed a change. The long hair was kinda bumming me out," Cole told her.

"But why in our living room?"

"I offered because he's broke and I love him," Bri gave him a quick cheek kiss before grabbing the electric razor and finishing up.

Nya watched as Bri removed the sheet from around her boyfriend. Cole got up and went to the nearest mirror, observing his hair. Bri gave him an undercut while leaving the top part long. It felt weird, but he liked it.

"I love it, and I love you." He quickly swept her up for a kiss. At least until they both realized that Nya was still in the room.

"Looks good, Cole. She did a good job."

"Thanks." He told both of the girls goodbye, leaving the apartment.

Do I regret? Nope.

Hope you enjoyed. The whole uncle thing actually happened to my family. My sister got his car, and I'm very jealous because my car sucks.

Till next time, this is GMN.
