yay!!! muffins :) // skephalo

Just another shift :/

Zak's POV:

I woke up to my mother's calls, finding out it was already 9am. After the wave of realization hit me, I bolted up from my bed in a distressed state and quickly got ready. I forgot my mom moved my Monday  shifts to Saturday, so I had to rush this morning.

"Welcome to the Ahmed bakery, what would you like today?" I said with my usual soulless customer service voice to the oncoming customer. 

I found out quickly that Saturday morning shifts around this time are a bit busier than the regular Monday shifts, so I was kind of bored with this work. I normally start working on a Minecraft video right about now (or procrastinating on work), but I guess that'll have to wait until 1.

"Welc-", I got caught a bit off guard for some reason at the next customer, maybe because I'm only used to Monday regulars?

"Welcome!" I said a bit flustered, trying to recover.

"Uh hi there!" 

Wow, he has a nice voice.

...

"OH! What can I get for you?" I said, remembering I should probably take his order.

"Um, I'll get a citrus tea and a muffin please." He said with a smile straight from the keyboard :D.

I asked him if he needed anything else and for his payment details, getting ready to make his order.

"Oh right, who's this order for?" I asked, slightly curious.

"Darryl"

"Alright Darryl,(your order will be ready in about 50-60 years)" I joked somewhat quietly to myself.

"Oh come onn    (uhh)   Zaaakk", he jokingly complained back, glancing at my name tag.

I started to laugh not expecting he heard me, or even would play along. We both had a good laugh until I remembered I didn't actually have that long of a due date.

"Alright alright, your order will be ready in about 15-20 minutes. Do you want a notification text for when it's done? " I said with a satisfying end of laughter.

"Sure," He said giving me his number, "now I can know exactly  when my muffin is ready!"

After a bit, finishing up other orders, I absent-mindedly started to heat up a muffin and start on Darryl's tea. 

"I wonder if muffins are his favorite." I pondered, thinking back to what he said last.

-Some Time Passes-

After I finished his order, I remembered to text Darryl it was done:

Zak: Hey Darryl, your order is done. Make sure to get your muffin while it's warm.

Darryl: Ok I'll come get it now :D

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I see Darryl walk back from his car and I hold his order careful not to drop it. 

"Here you go," I said handing him his order.

"Yay, thanks!" He said with a smile.

"No problem, have a good day!" I returned the smile

I watched as he left the store, the ring from the door's bell lingering.

Maybe this wasn't  just another shift.
