Never in a Million Years ✔️

37- Can you stab me?

"Look at you go bestfriend" I smile at Jordan as I sit on my usual stool at the bar

"You technically aren't supposed to be sitting at the bar" he chimes

"And you technically aren't supposed to be behind it" I smirk at him. He's been working at Kanes for a while and quickly became a manager. He was also a pretty good cook. Usually he worked in the kitchen but it was thirty minutes before they opened and he was the only one in so he was just everywhere. He was just relaxing behing the bar as he wiped it down

"Besides I've been sitting at the bar since I was like ten" I shrug

"Yeah fair enough" He grins "What are you doing here?"

"Well I'm glad you asked! I'm currently bleeding and can feel my uterus convulsing producing excruciating pain in my abdomen. SO I decided to come here and eat the best period food known to man" It was part of the reason I wanted to go to Janie's last night to study, solely so I could get ice cream.

"And I assume I'm the one that has to make it?" My best friend grins at me

"Please?" I smile sweetly as he rolls his eyes at me

"You're lucky you're my best friend" he calls behind him before disappearing into the kitchen

I rest my arms on the bar as I pull my phone out. It usually took a little while for the burgers to cool. My cramps weren't horrible right now but I could just tell they were going to get worse. My period was the bane of my existence. Yeah I know, the whole 'yay no pregnancy' thing but at the same time it's useless when you haven had sex in over a year. My period makes me want to die. And unlike most, mine lasts for about nine days, the cramps last for three of those days. It's always a fun fucking time.

"Ew what are you doing here?" I hear the annoying voice that I have come to extremely dislike, sound from behind me.

"Hi Lexi nice to see you too" I grumble not looking up from my phone

"Seriously why are you here? I thought it was closed this early?" She says again, majority of her usual hostility lost

"My best friend is a manager and I've known the owner since birth, I'm allowed here really whenever" I shrug

"You look like trash" she comments

"I don't care, I'm currently dying and need a greasy ass burger" I mumble still holding my lower stomach to try and relive the oncoming cramps. I was too tired to be a sarcastic bitch today.

Out of the corner of my eye I see her roll her eyes as she takes a seat two down from me.

"Belle you want pickles?" Jordan yells from the kitchen

"Yes please!" I yell back to him with a small smile, I couldn't exactly figure out what I had been craving but I think I just did.

Minutes later Jordan comes back out of the kitchen with a paper bag full of my favorite food.

"Oh uh hey Lexi" Jordan says awkwardly

"I need a job" she sates bluntly "I'm bored and have nothing better to do, and as dingy and dusty as this place is, y'all have really good food. So I wanna work here" she states. I gotta say I admire her bluntbess. There are very few people in the world who are as bold and blunt as she is.

"Have fun with this one, I'm gonna walk home and die" I bid goodbye to Jordan as I start walking out

"Oh-Um- Kalanski ?" Lexi says quietly "You've probably tried this already but herbal or chamomile tea usually helps," she says as I look at her. I actually hadn't tried it before.
