CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: ELICIA

The next day at work was really awkward, I fell a couple of orders.

Treadway was looking at me the whole time.

I was a nervous mess and thank heavens lunch came in a buzz but to my dismay Treadway and I were staying behind because we took turns to go for lunch.

He came to talk to me at the counter as there were no more customers coming in.

"Hey El." He says making me acknowledge his presence.

"Hey." I say and the air becomes very tense, one could literary cut the tension with a knife.

I didn't know what else to say to him, he was quiet as well but he mastered the courage after a couple of minutes somehow.

"Are you still thinking?" he asks awkwardly.

"No, I---, " I am cut by a customer who wanted to order.

From then on-wards the coffee shop was flooded, we barely managed to have our own lunch and we never managed to talk until it was dismissal time.
