— Long midday hours were probably the WORST in Curly’s opinion. But did any of his siblings care when he told him that ?? Well, of course not !! They just up and left him with the heaviest workload of the day. Talk about a bunch of lazys. . . Though, in hindsight, Curly probably would’ve mooched off if it weren’t for his mother specifically asking for him to come fill in the schedule.
Augh. . . Whatever. He decided he could deal with it. Besides, for it being a Friday afternoon, it was pretty empty. Usually, hundreds of nearby office workers who were cramming to get all their work done were filling the store with shouts for coffee. With the little foot traffic they were currently getting, he felt rather at ease. The line had even died down, leaving no one but students chilling in the lounging area with their laptops. With a heavy sigh, he decided that he could turn his attention away for just a brief moment. Hands were quick to reach for his phone, leaning casually up against the counter as he didn’t think there would be anyone else coming in anytime soon. But like with most things in his life, he was wrong. . .
Brown eyes momentarily glanced upwards from behind circular frames, catching a single glimpse of the man who now stood in line. Wait. . . Wait, wait, wait. . . Back up just a second. . .
Forget getting a customer out of fucking nowhere. . . This guy looked TOTALLY familiar. A single glance became a full-on stare as Curly stood there, mouth slightly open in pure confusion trying to figure this one out. There was a brief squint given, Curly mentally ignoring whatever had just been said to him by the other. . . Why couldn’t he figure this out !? He definitely had it on the tip of his tongue. . !! And yet, the only words that he could muster were, ❝ Sorry uh. . . What was that ?? ❞
