Chapter 17: The word is Coffee

                                    

                                          
Sorry I almost forgot to post today's chapter! My school opened back up so I was out celebrating with some friends. But here it is and as always the word is coffee. Because in hand we have a hungover businessman and in the other a full time barista and college student who also seems to be hungover. How may that play out.
                          
Astrid was walking down the street right outside her apartment. She was walking arm in arm with a blond on one arm and a raven haired girl on the other. The three girls didn't walk in a totally straight line since they were laughing, fooling around and talking about last nights events.
                          
"Then Ruff knocked out Tuff with her hair" The three girls laughs fill the street. Not sure if the girls are still a bit drunk from yesterday or maybe it's just their personalities when they're together but they are for sure having fun.
                          
Old memories are coming back like a river. The three girls have known each other for four years. But when you add up all those memories it felt like a lifetime. 
                          
"Ruff it's like that time you bought back those Brazilian cigarettes" Heather begins the story making the other two die laughing since they know the end of the story. 
                          
"How was I supposed to know there was weed in them! It didn't have much of a scent" Ruff defends herself.
                          
"Well it would have been nice to know before we came to English incredible high" Astrid says laughing at the memory of her and Ruff sitting in English class giggling like crazy of their English teacher's bubble butt. 
                          
"You guys were so hilarious though" Heather laughed as she was only a side character in that story. Ruff and Astrid were the ones under the influence. 
                          
"We tried to eat a doughnut that we doddled in Ruff's notes" The three girls died from laughter. Their life was like a talk show crossed with all your favorite vines and YouTube videos . As they were strolling down the street they met Eretson Café. Astrid's destination.
                          
"Thank you girls for walking me to work" Astrid hugs her friends still laughing at their funny moments together. 
                          
"Please, thank you for being the bloopers of my life" Ruff says making Astrid smile and roll her eyes at the same time. The three girls parted, each with a smile on their lips.
                          
Astrid enters her workplace smiling happily and cheerfully. Her work doesn't have that nervous undertone since everyone here knows each other and they're like a little coffee family. 
                          
"Hey Eret!" Astrid greets him as she walks behind the bar. She immediately begins to brew herself a pitch black pot of coffee.
                          
"Well someone was out last night" Eret smiles at his blond coworker but most importantly his friend. 
                          
"It certainly was some night" Astrid admits as she prepares a mug. Eret is leaning on the wall looking at the tried Astrid.
                          
"Drink as much coffee as you want" he says with a smile before turning around and walking into his office.
                          
"I was planning on drinking it all!" Astrid yells after him as she pours herself the first cup of coffee of the day. 
                          
In the meanwhile there's a young man on the same mission as Astrid. He is right now slandering down the street being shadowed by the beautiful trees in streets and his bodyguards. He's just as beaten up as the girls if not even more but still insisted to walk. Last night reminded him how he missed the little things in a normal persons life. He is walking to the only café in town he had sat his heart on: Eretson café. Not sure what is expecting him.
