17 - Competition

Anya's POV

Jess and I were working our shifts at Starbucks.

For the first time in a while, it was a full house. Most likely because it was the weekend.

I felt the presence of someone step up to the cashier as I said, "Welcome to..."

I trailed off as I faced one of the finest human beings I've ever seen, second to Nola, of course.

She was pretty tall, enough to be a professional basketball player. Her skin was a nice caramel, but still chocolate. She had a nice fade, and a afro that she looked like she maintained.

"May I take your order?" I asked with a polite smile, once I gained my voice.

"Can I get a caffe latte, please?" She asked, giving me a polite smile back.

"Size?" I asked and she responded, "Venti."

"Alright, that'll be $4.28." I told her and she handed me her card as I thanked her.

"Oh... be sure to make it real hot." She said and she leaned forward whispering, "Just like you..."

I laughed slightly as I said, "No problem."

She walked away after to a booth, leaving me flustered as my mind filled with thoughts.

I was not expecting that... at all. That's the first time a stud hit on me. ...I wonder what's in the box?

I saw her carrying one when she walked away.

I shrugged it off and began to tend to other customers as some time went by.

Fifteen minutes had passed when the front entrance came flying open, catching my attention. I saw Nola stride in and she looked mad.

She glanced at me for a second before walking over to the booth that girl was sitting at.

Hold the fuck up. They know each other!?

 They know each other!?

Nola's POV

"Hey. How're you, Nola?" Cheryl smiled in my face while I simply glared at her.

"Cheryl." I responded. (pronounced chè-ray-l)

"Why the fuck you wanted to meet here?"
