Chapter 2 - Roomie/Smoothies

Song of the week: At my worst -Pink sweat$

Leon 3:15am

What an eventful night, I snickered rooming the demon falling on that poor man's head.

I slept so soundly reassured that the next mouse that dares to show it's self will be at the mercy of Keith who isn't very merciful when it comes to them.

Leon 10:30am

I woke up to the light of the sun pouring through my window.

"Dude, it's almost 11 get up already."

I groaned grabbing a pillow and throwing it. I didn't have to look I already knew who it was and where his was.

Of course it was Tim, short for Timothy. My unofficial roomie. By that I means he comes daily to eat all my food and take over my room.

I didn't even know why I give him a keycard, I must have been in my dumbest mindset.

"For someone whose rich, you sure spend a lot time in my apartment eating of all of my food." I said grouchy since I had been woken up by him opening the curtains.

I don't know why I've always been sensitive to light when sleeping.

"Woah there, looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the couch."

Have I told you he's one of the most annoying people you'll ever meet. But he's one of my best buds he has his pros and his cons.

"Is Sierra coming over today?" He asked eagerly

"No. You know she doesn't like you right." I said in a monotone I hoped one day he would just give up, but he's so fricking persistent.

Don't tell him i said this but it's low key funny watching him being rejected.

"One day." He said sighing dramatically and shaking his head slowly looking up.

Keith 3:00pm

I put my apron on, which marked the beginning of my shift. I worked a drink shop.

It wasn't anything big but I liked it, the environment was very cozy and the pay was nice to.

"Welcome to our shop, what would you like?"

" Two Strawberry smoothies please."

They sounded familiar, I looked up to see Leon standing in front of me. His smile a mile wide.

A smile too crept upon my face.

"Fancy seeing you here." I said

"I didn't know you work here, I come all the time." He replied pointing to the window seat. Then it clicked he was the regular.

Unlike most other customers he was very well known and popular among the staff. For reasons I won't disclose.

I guess I never paid much attention to him.

"I've worked here for awhile, I guess I never looked up much."

He chucking before answering.

"I know. Other customers call you slouchy."

I gasped dramatically pretending to be very offended. Which earned a chuckle from the both of us.

I turned around handing him handing him the smoothies.

"Did you come with someone?" I asked

He shook his head taking out a black marker and writing something on the cup of a smoothie.

We talked for a bit and  before customers began coming it was lunch time so it was our busiest time.

I waved him off I hadn't noticed until he had gone that he's forgotten one of his smoothies on the counter.

I picked it up slightly curious I realized it had "Enjoy Keith" and a number written on it. I smiled that sly fellow.
