Love The Roommate

The day went by and so did the next morning, and I still hadn't seen Alex. After I finished my bath yesterday, I went to put my pajamas in the room and he wasn't there. I got out of the room, and got a walk around the city for almost two hours. It was a beautiful city, I must admit. And when I went back, he still wasn't there. And well, he didn't get home at all.

I got my hopes up that when I turn around like yesterday; I will see him there sleeping peacefully.

But when I turned, he wasn't there. I sighed. Maybe he really didn't mean what he said yesterday. Beside, why am I even that mad? Yeah, I saw before, but it wasn't as sexy as Alex's. But still, he doesn't get to make assumes or be arrogant like that.

I got up and made my routine of going to the stupid public bathrooms and changed my clothes. My shift starts in an hour.

Yes, I work. As a waitress. My dad requested his friend for job for me. And thank God he agreed.

I started walking towards the cafe, enjoying the high sun in the sky. It was a beautiful sight. I know Pullman is famous for its cold weather. But right now, in eight in the morning, it was beautiful.

After ten minutes of walking, I finally arrived at the cafe.

I stepped in, examining the place.

It was like any regular cafe.

The coffee's smell was everywhere; the cafe had its walls in a light brown color, while the tables had it darker. A dark haired boy stood there with another blonde boy as a bestiary. There were two other girls as waitress, one red headed and one dark haired, wearing brown apron with the logo and the name of the place. They were getting the costumers their drinks. All of them looking in their twenties. And all of them wearing brown shirts with a small logo on the side.

I walked to the cashier, who was also in his twenties.

"Hello, I was wondering if the manager is here." I asked with a smile.

The cashier smiled back, "Yeah, he is. Give me a minute; I will get him right away."

The cashier walked to a door in the corner, he knocked then entered, closing the door after him.

I stood there for a second, watching the busy cafe. People were everywhere. Some with phones as there sipped from their drinks. And other who were students, having notebooks and papers all over their table. There was music in the background, light and relaxing. It was a good place to spend some time in.

The cashier then walked out of the room he had gone too, followed by a man in his forties with grey hair and light brown eyes.

"Jasmine, it's so nice to finally see you again. It's been so long. You were just five when I last saw you." The manager greeted as he shook my hand.

"It's nice to meet you too Mr-"

"No, no. Just call me Louise. All employees here do that. Beside you aren't just an employee, you are like my daughter. I remember when I used to lift you for hours and you wouldn't want to leave me when your mum would come to take you." Louise laughed. And I joined him.

"Happy times," Louise said.

"Yeah," I agreed.

"Anyway, when do you want to start?" Louise asked.

"Right now if possible." I said with excitement.

"Good. Jack, please tell one of the girls to show Jessy the place, the staff and how to work." Louise said, directing his words to the cashier, who I assume his name is Jack.

"Sure thing, Louise." Jack replied.

"Okay, I will see you later, Jessy. Take care." Louise said, walking away, back to the door he just came through, I assume it's his office.

"Thank you!" I called after him.

"Don't mention it." Louise called back.

I turned back to Jack to find him staring. I smiled and so did he.

"My name's Jasmine, but you can call me Jessy." I began.

"I'm Jack." He said, smiling. "Yeah, come on." He walked to the back door that was leading to the staff room, I assume.

The staff room wasn't big or small. It was decent, with two couches and some chairs. There were some boxes in the corner. Some backpacks on the chairs. And there was a door in the corner.

Jack went to one of the boxes and pulled out two brown clothes.

"Here. You can go in there to change. One of the girls will be here in a second. I need to go back." Jack said, handing me the brown clothes, and gesturing to the door in the corner for me to go into.

"Thanks," I nodded, walking to the door after putting my bag of the couch.

Once I opened the door, a bathroom was in view.

It wasn't that big of a one, but it was good. It had a mirror on top of the sink and that was good enough.

I closed the door, locked it and unfolded the clothes.

It was one of those brown shirts with the logo, and an apron.

I quickly took off my shirt, folding it. I put on the brown shirt, adjusting it. It was a little loose around me, obviously not my size. Then I put the apron on. Thank God I wore a blue jeans and nothing else.

The apron didn't reveal that the shirt was loose around me, which was good.

I got out of the bathroom, only to be met with the dark haired girl that was serving the costumers.

She smiled, "Hey there, I am Veronica."

"Jessy." I introduced myself, giving her a smile in return.

"Come on; let me show you the place." She walked out of the room.

I put my folded shirt in my backpack and hurried after her.

"Okay, Jessy. First start with our friends. That's Jack, the cashier. I assume you already know that." She pointed to Jack who was taking an order from a someone.
