I woke up a lot during the night. I was tossing and turning and checking the clock to see how much sleep I could get. I felt rested when I woke up. I was working with Matt for a few hours until Kevin and Ray got there. Matt and I made some sex jokes and just talked. Kevin came and informed us that a cap he had on a tooth had fallen out. The tooth underneath was as small as a child's baby tooth. It was quite adorable, and very hilarious. He joked about it, and smiled so I could see it. Work continued being...well, work. The crowds came inconsistently. As time went on, I checked my phone and saw a text Leo had sent me. He was close. My heart was pounding and I didn't know what to do. I kept myself occupied and working. I looked up and I saw him. He was smiling. I averted my eyes and continued helping my customer. One of my coworkers took his order, and then Leo stepped to the side to wait for me. This was the moment I had been dreading, yet looking forward to. I came from behind the counter once the crowd ceased. I added milk to my tea, and he put a gift bag on the coffee counter. What? I was confused. He remarked how the shop still gets pretty busy. He told me the money is also in the gift bag. I forgot about the money, and went full retard. I asked him why there was money. He smiled, I remembered he owed me money, and he left. The exchange was less than 2 minutes all together. It was more expedited than I had thought it would be. I guess maybe it was a good thing.
I finished my shift and went home. I immediately went upstairs and looked inside the bag. I found these chocolate sticks he knows I like. There was also a wrapped gift, which I have yet to open. There was the money, $10 more than he owed. And finally there was a letter in an envelope. I haven't read it yet. For now I'm going to just sit down, watch Breaking Bad, and eat a stale brownie I stole from work. Part of me wants to rip open the letter and read it. Part of me wants to just throw it away without a second thought.
