Tyler woke up feeling excited to see Peyton again. They ate dinner last night with Peyton's best friend, Kimberly, at a restaurant near the mall. The place was not very luxurious, but the food was great. After they ate their dinner, Kimberly left earlier and thanked Tyler for the food. 

After a few hours of chatting with Tyler, Peyton finally decided that she wanted to go home and wanted to take a rest for tomorrow will be another day for her at the coffee shop. Tyler agreed because he has to be early for work too.

Tyler walked her home safely and kissed her cheek before letting her hand go. Tyler walked home alone, feeling happy and tired at the same time.

They're not yet official though, but for Tyler, they seem to have a mutual undertsanding about their feelings for each other. Peyton is busy working at their coffee shop every morning because they gain more customers everyday, which doesn't give them opportunity to talk about their relationship.

"Well, I'll try to ask her about that later." Tyler told himself.

Usually, they open around 7:30 in the morning. But it changed since more customers prefered to have breakfast earlier for work or for school.

Now, employees go to their work at 6:45 in the morning to prepare some things for the customers and then they'll open at 7:00, that's why Tyler has to be early.

Tyler got up form his bed and took a shower. He now has a lot of new clothes since he is now working. Tyler get into his clothes and brushed his teeth and combed his hair.

He eats his breakfast at the coffee shop, like any other employees from the coffee shop, for free because Peyton's father thinks that it is a way of saying thank you to them.

Tyler left his apartment and waved goodbye to Adam on the way out.

While walking his way to the coffee shop, he waved to some people whom he met at the coffee shop. They're either employees or customers. 

Tyler thought whether he like this life. Sometimes he does, but sometimes he feels like it's too difficult compared to the life he had at home.But then again, he constantly reminds himself that everything that he's doing will bear something good.

Sometimes it's enough to make him stay, but sometimes it's not.

Peyton just opened the door when she heard someone shout her name. Peyton glanced at the man and it was Tyler. 

"Hey," Tyler breathed heavily. "Am I late?" Tyler smirked.

"Of course not," Peyton replied with a smirk.

Tyler chuckled and opened the door for her.

5 minutes before opening the shop, most of the employees were already there.

Tyler took the chance to ask her about their relationship. Whether they're more than friends or are they official or what.

Tyler walked close to Peyton. Forming some right words and questions inside his mind. Worried whether he'll hear something from Peyton that will break his heart.

He was about to call for her name when someone knocked from their glass door. It was Mary. Mary signaled Peyton to come to her because it seems like she was going to tell Peyton something.

Peyton rushed towards Mary and opened the door for her.

"Hey Peyton," Mary said and looked at everyone else. "I know I'm too early, but can you open like right now? Never mind the 5 minutes. I mean, you know, it's just 5 minutes. Plus, I'm kinda late for work and my boss wants your coffee and I want your coffee too." Mary looked hopeful.

"Sure," Peyton replied delightedly.

"Guys, we'll open 5 minutes earlier." She shouted to everyone else.

"Your usual order?" Mike, one of the employees, asked.

Mary nodded.

Mike left Peyton and Mary. Peyton told Mary to have a seat.

"Why are you earlier today?" Peyton asked.

"My boss wanted us to work earlier so that we'll be able to accomplish more. The business is just booming and all, so my boss decided that we needed more time inside the office."

Peyton nodded and asked, "So this will be your regular time?"

"Yup, that's why I'm worrying whether where can I buy some decent coffee around this town. I mean, I know you can't open 5 minutes earlier for me all the time."

"Why not." Peyton quickly replied.

"Excuse me?" Mary asked.

"You know, we want to please all of our customers and our customers mean so much to us. So we'll open earlier from now on." Peyton explained with a smile.

"Really? Thank you so much! I thought that I'll have to explain to my boss that he'll have a different taste of coffee from now on because of the adjustment of our time."

"No problem,"

Mike has the two coffees on his hand and gave it to Mary. Mary payed for the coffee and left the shop.

Tyler was close enough to hear their conversation.

What guy wouldn't fall for that kindess and sweetness. She's so nice and so caring to others. Tyler thought.
