Chapter Text
"I do not!' You heard from Max, sitting at the far counter with Judy, defending himself against her array of comments about seeing him at your shop. You turned, hiding the smirk on your face as you began making a chocolate latte, extra special for one of your regulars. "Are you two doing alright over there?!" You yelled out over your shoulder, glancing back for a bit to long, butterflies forming in your stomach as you turned away. Awkwardly close to handing the customer an empty mug, quickly apologizing and turning away with an insincere chuckle that would give anyone second hand embarrassment.
As you actually finished making the latte, you couldn't stop the thoughts racing through your head, up until Judy called back out, "We're doing great sweetie!", when you had looked back up, making you realize she had been watching you. Trying your very hardest to keep your composure and the redness in your face down, you grabbed yourself an ice water and flipped a sign on the counter that said, "On Break! Please Wait!", them began walking to the two with the worst faked smile ever.
"Hey guys!! Wassup..!" Judy shook her head without a response, patting your back as you continued moving forward to stand between the two in a triangle formation. Max simply stared at you with a unreasonably confused expression. "What do you want?" He had made an attempt at a rude tone but came of more sarcastic sounding than anything, which had both you and Judy looking at him weirdly. "They just wanted to check in with you, don't be so rude." Judy, unlike you and Max, held a motherly tone, almost like pushing two kids to be friends.
