"miles! can you pick up the—" rio, miles' mother, called from the kitchen, she was currently on the phone with someone as she was cooking.
"the cake? yeah i got it!" he unintentionally interrupted his mom while he walked downstairs putting his jacket on. his footsteps on the stairs making a squeaking sound as he traveled down.
"aye, this boy. be quick, your father will be home soon!" she ushered miles out the door, father's day was today and they wanted to do something special for him.
just before he exits his apartment he grabs his bag, waving 'bye' to his mom. he runs as quickly as he can down the stairs so he can reach the bakery faster. he contemplates putting his suit on and swinging to the location instead but he didn't feel like changing.
miles puts his headphones on and saunters hurriedly through the crowds of people that seemed to come out of nowhere. he sees some people he knows and waves to them, making small conversations with some. just as he reaches the bakery door, he checks himself out in one of the windows.
'i got this,' he thinks as he fixes his outfit and hair in the mirror. his thoughts stop as one of the workers sprays cleaner on the window, wiping the area where his face was. they looked at him confused with an eyebrow raised and all he could respond with was an awkward smile, before walking in.
he shoves his hands in his pocket and walks towards the register where you were working, you looked up from the cash you were counting and instead, at him. he looks at you with lidded eyes as he leaned on the counter, smiling at you. not sure what the hell he was doing you asked,
"uh miles, do you need something?"
his expression changes and his normal happy expression was back, "oh, yeah! i'm here to pick up a cake for rio morales?"
"alright!" you proceeded into the back to look for a cake with the label rio morales, who you recognized to be miles' mom, who came in every once in while
as he saw you walk away he face palmed. 'what am i doing!? i can't do this.' he was sweating so bad, he just really liked you, if that wasn't obvious already. the other worker saw how nervous he was and walked up to him.
"huh—? how do you know my name?" he questioned.
"same physics class? i sit next to you. . . ?" the worker said, slightly annoyed.
"oh yeah, yeah, i remember."
"you're trying too hard."
"you like (name) right?" worker dude, miles' forgotten classmate, states in an as-a-matter-of-fact tone. "they like you too, trust, just be you, man."
"okay, i got the cake, sorry it took kinda long, we have a ton of other orders." you laughed a bit at the end of your sentence as miles turned away from worker dude, who went back to cleaning.
"nah it's good, uh, totally random question…but are you free next sunday?" he says, taking the dessert from your hands.
"yeah," you said rather quietly before clearing your throat, "yeah, yeah i am, uh, why?"
"there's this movie i've been wanting to see for awhile, i got two tickets but ganke couldn't go, said something about working on a final." he smiles, holding the cake with one arm and fiddling with the zipper of his jacket with his other.
"oh! yeah i'd like to go." you responded, big smile plastered across your face.
"great, that's good, i'll text you the time, i could go over to your place! and we can walk there together." miles exclaims, an even bigger smile on his face.
"that sounds nice, can't wait." you giggled.
miles smiles, "well i got to go now, my mom's probably waiting for me." he begins to walk backwards confidently, before bumping into a table, almost knocking a napkin holder over, however he quickly grabbed it before it fell. he shoots you an awkward smile as he runs out the door.
"y'all are so corny." the worker rolls their eyes, putting the cleaning supplies away.
"you're just mad no one's asked you out yet." you shot back.
miles finally got back to his apartment, closing and locking the door behind him.
he sighed, looking up at the ceiling before turning around and facing both his parents.
"hi mamí, dad." he proceeds towards the table they sat at and put the cake down. "happy father's day!"
"why were you home so late? the bakery's what? ten minutes away? it's been an hour." rio asked, concerned.
"what's going on with you miles?" his father, jeff, said, backing up his wife.
"nothing! i was just, you know, talking with people!"
his mother gasped, both miles and jeff looked at her nervously.
"you were talking to that bakery worker, weren't you!"
"what–? miles, what's she talking about?" his father asks, confused.
"our little boy's got a crush on that nice worker at the bakery! i always see his eyes turn into hearts when they walk by."
they both laugh aside from miles, who frowns and takes a seat, arms crossed.
