“Archimedes! I was reading that!” you scolded the big grey cat sternly. Not that it mattered, as he looked at you with indifference as he lay out across the book you had gotten out. You pushed your small hands against his side and he let out a yawn. You huffed, this had not been the best day. You woke up a bit late, which put you in a sort of rushed and grumpy mood, and now Archie was being a stubborn cat and messing up your reading. You grumbled under your breath as turned and hopped off the windowsill where you had been trying to relax.

The store was fairly busy and you had to stay up high on the shelves where you couldn’t be trampled. You had climbed up to the ‘the walk’ as you and the others in the shop called it. It was a system of wood planks and ropes that were mapped out along the tops of the bookcases and helped you get around the shop quickly. As you sulked on top of a bookcase, you watched the people below you, completely oblivious to the looks of your employees. Ashley, the pretty brunette who worked the front counter and had immediately become one of your closest friends instead of just and employee, noticed you with a soft smile.

“Hey Y/n! Could come here for a sec? I need to ask you something.” She said with a smile, catching your attention. You called back with a yup as you stood up to grab a rope and swing yourself over to the counter, nearly tripping in the process. Large soft hands steadied you and you smiled a bit at her before brushing your apron off.

“Whatcha need Ash?” You asked, trying not to sound as grumpy as you felt.

“Well I had a customer in earlier that had asked about some books in the humor section and I wasn’t sure if we had them or not. Would you mind looking into it? I still have to do inventory.” Her green eyes were full of kindness and you couldn’t help but smile.

“Give me a lift?” you held your arms out as she nodded and held her hand on the counter for you to climb on. You stepped gingerly onto her palm and held onto her thumb. She walked you over to the right bookcase and set you down before handing you a tiny list. It was still big for you but she had tried to make it your size. She giggled and poked you before going back to work. You sighed and went to the task of finding the books, grateful for the distraction.

You worked through the list, growing more and more calm now that you were actually getting some work done. You hadn’t realized that the store had calmed down before you had finished and whistled for Archie. The gray cat came loping up to the bookshelf and let out a sassy meow. You rolled your eyes at him and leapt from your spot on the shelf. Wind rushed by your ears for a split second before landing softly on his back, settling in and grasping his fur.

“Come on Archie let’s take a look through the shop.” You directed him and could feel his purr rumble through him as he carefully started his wander through the store. You waved to people and hopped down from Archie as you neared the fireplace. It was warm and absolutely gigantic compared to you. The fire place had a lovely sitting area in front of it and you noticed one customer in particular reading in the cutest pink dress you had seen. She was a loyal customer and frequently came to read and chat. You grinned and walked up to the small coffee table, climbing up to stand by her mug.

“Jette! You look adorable today!” You grinned as she focused her blue eyes on you and smiled back.

“Hey! Thanks! I was wondering if you were gonna come see me today.” She put her book down and leaned forward and held out her hand. You stepped onto her hand and let her move you to the couch cushion beside her.

“I went shopping for clothes yesterday and this was one of the dresses I bought. Oh! And I got a new purse!” She seemed so excited that you couldn’t help but giggle. She reached down and pulled out a purse with exceptionally cute cactus on it.

“It’s so cute!!!” You squealed excitedly, “It works well with the dress! Very nice hunting you did.” You praised her and she laughed. She really was your favorite customer.

“Thank you!” she laughed, “I knew I should come here to show you guys, this is my favorite place!” A growing pride swelled in your chest. Hearing those words was always the quickest way to form a goofy smile on your face.

“Well you have slowly become family to me and my shop! We should celebrate your excellent shopping prowess! Let’s go grab something from the café!” You through your small arms up and she nodded excitedly before scooping you up to bring you over to the café where Lou was pulling a new sort of cake from the oven. Immediately, your stomach rumbled. As Jette sat you gently on the counter top she reached for her purse.

“Don’t even think about it missy!” Your tiny voice sounding playfully stern as you pointed at her, which caused her and Lou to laugh as Jette held her hands up in surrender. You gave a nod and turned to Lou. She had been working with you for a couple weeks now and fit perfectly into your little family. She placed a delicious smelling cake onto the counter with a napkin and broke off a few small pieces.

“So the boss lady has to try the first one but let me know how it turns out!” Lou said with a bit of pride in her voice. Her light blue eyes twinkled with happiness as you giggled and stuffed a crumb in your mouth.

“Oh my lord….” You groaned out, your expression one of bliss.

“Good eh? I call em caramel cakes” Lou giggled out.

“They’re freakin fantastic!” You mumbled with a mouthful before gulping it back and hollering out for Ashley to join you guys. Her reaction was the same and Lou beamed. The four of you all giggled and talked and ate on the new cakes until it was time to close the shop for the day. Jette went home giggling as you scolded her and Ash for feeding Archimedes, which would make him fat you had said.

In all, the day ended much better than it had started and once again it was due to your friends. As you curled up to sleep next to Archie, the smile never left your face.
