chamberlain

     Looking outside the window, she took a sip of her coffee before her eyes landed back at the other. “Oh, about that.” She said, placing back her cup on the table. She arched one brow up at her. “Why did you have three venti? Are you trying to kill yourself? That’s too much.” She chuckled quietly.

   Bailey chuckled. “That’s a pretty easy question.” She replied, sipping the last of her macchiato. “School is just pissing me of entirely. So I just decided to treat myself with unlimited caffeine. How ‘bout you? You look like you could use unlimited caffeine as well.”

    Hazel brown hues fluttered shut as she breathed out, relieved that the girl was actually kind enough to lend her the extra seat. “Thank you so much.” She released at the other girl. Lucette took a seat and set her bag aside next to her, on the floor. She placed her coffee on the table together with her cell. A soft smile escaped her lips with her hands holding out for the other to shake. “You’re such an angel, Bailey. This place is packed and you’re the only one alone who’s willing to give out their seat.” She chuckled. “My name’s Lucette. A real pleasure to meet you.”

   She shook the other girl’s hand. “It’s nothing. I tend to help out whenever I can.” Bailey returned Lucette’s smile. It’s always so satisfying for her whenever she helps out other people, even if some took her for granted. “Likewise, Lucette. Besides, I’ve been here for almost four hours and have had three venti macchiatos. I’d really like some company.” 

   “Yeah, of course. Unless you’re gonna run of with it because in that case, can I have my sim card back first.” Bailey let the girl borrow her phone for awhile. She was half kidding about the sim card because she’s been in this situation before but the other time, the stranger took off with her important contacts. She was just being a bit cautious.

east smiled to himself as he finished his tenth flower crown of the morning before he noticed someone walking by. “ hiii, would you like a flower crown? i’ve been making them like all morning and they’re totally F R E E. ” 

   “Don’t mind if I do.” She replied, taking the flower crown the boy was giving her. “This is beautiful! Where did you learn to do this?” Bailey asked as she put the crown on her head. “And why are you giving them away for free?” 

   Bailey just finished buying a few bath bombs when her mom texted her to grab a few things from the supermarket. On her way out, she almost hit someone with the store’s door. “Shit i’m sorry, are you alright?” She asked.

“yeah. yeah, yeah. i’ll be with you in a second. it’s just, it’s just that, that–” she didn’t even bother to conceal it anymore — heather was all arched gaze and abstracted mind when she looked ahead, eyes landing one on particular costumer before them. “that ass.”

   Bailey was getting a little bored queuing. She brought out her phone and scrolled through her twitter account retweeting stuff she thought is interesting or lovely. When she was almost in front of the line, she heard someone talking behind her. She wasn’t really sure if the girl was talking to her in particular but she asked anyway. “Excuse me?”

           alexia stepped outside of the vet’s office, a squirming baby golden retriever in her arms. the pup had a cast on one leg but was still eager to get to the ground. she clipped a leash to his collar then set him down, letting him wander a few feet excitedly. she heard the jingle behind her that indicated that someone was opening the door. turning around, she faced the customer. “the vet’s out for another fifteen minutes. what d'you need?”

   Bailey was studying for a test the next morning when she noticed her alaskan malmute didn’t even touch his food. Her dog was lying on the sofa when she found him, his eyes looked like energy was drained from them. “Magnus, are you alright?” She said rubbing her dog’s head gently. Magnus was never like this. He wouldn’t lie down on the sofa unless she was sitting beside him and never will he lie down until he finishes his food. Without wasting another minute, Bailey rushed her dog to the vet but turns out the doctor was out. “My dog’s not feeling well.” She replied because it was all she could manage at the time. 

    Today’s been a hard day for Lucette. Not only did she accidentally dropped a cup of coffee, but she also spilled one one on a customer’s uniform. Starbucks was packed with employees and college students. Everything was too much for her. Her manager told her to take the day off, but she didn’t want to go anywhere just yet. So she looked for an empty seat and sat next to the girl. Her coffee on her hand, her bag on the other. She approached the girl with a smile on her lips. “Hi. Is this seat taken?”

   As much as Bailey wanted to be left alone for awhile, she didn’t like ignoring people or making them feel like she wasn’t approachable so instead she smiled at the girl and offered her a seat. Besides, the girl look like she’s been having a tough day as well. Maybe they could talk it out somehow. “No, no. Please, take a seat. I’m Bailey.”
