This chapter is a little short but I hope you can still enjoy it.
I have a small announcement to make but it can wait until the end 😁😁😈
I only own the plot guys.
——————————————————————————————
You forgot how painful the silence could be. The day the straw hat crew left, you ended up staying on the beach all day. Most of your time there was spent thinking. Thinking on how far you'd come, and how much further you needed to go. The rest of the time you were wiping the stray tears that would occasionally slip past your watery banks. When night shrouded the sky, you took it as a sign to return home. Guided with the sympathetic glow of the stars.
'Please come back home safely' was your final thought before you left for home.
—————————————————————
Sadly, you hadn't left yourself much time to sulk around. Big mom was going to collect her order next week, which meant you were going to have to work like a machine. You were gonna need all the energy you could muster so sulking around wasn't gonna be of any use to you. There was no time to waste, even serving customers was put on hold unless you were placing an order.
*Ding-a-ling*
'Or not...'
"Sorry but unless your here to pick up an order, or place an order for a later date, I'm afraid the bakery isn't open" you recited as you continued to carefully knead the dough in front of you.
"And what about good friends checking in" A sweet voice inquired.
"Alivia! You're back!" your head, shot up as your eyes landed on the smiling woman in front of you.
"Did you miss me? I mean I know you did, because who wouldn't? But I wanna hear you say it" She laughed
You quickly washed and dried your hands so that you could embrace her in a bear hug.
"I did miss you but you definitely missed me more!" You laughed.
"Oh really?" She teased
"Yes, really!" You pouted.
A few seconds of silence passed before you both erupted into a fit of giggles. Liv had been on another long business trip doing business things, trying to get her name out there. You pulled out a stool so she could sit and vent about her travels to you, while you worked. Likewise, you filled her in on everything she'd missed over a blueberry muffin.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED LUFFY!?" She wailed.
"Yeah, you just missed him, Liv" You smiled.
"I can't believe all that happened while I was gone" she complained.
'As much as I wanted you to meet Luffy, putting you and Nami together would spell doom a.k.a bankruptcy for the whole island'
"Are you taking it ok? I remember how you were when Ace left" Liv sighed.
"Ace didn't give me a chance to prepare myself on the idea of him leaving so soon, Luffy's crew gave me a heads up. So I'm taking it in stride" You smiled. "But I do miss him"
Liv watched you as your eyes became distracted by the memories of your friends.
*Slam*
"Well now's not the time to be moping (Y/n)!" Liv slammed her hand on the counter making you jump out of your skin "Don't think I forgot about your next big delivery"
