You're helping an older customer put her bags into the cart when Nat walks in the door. You try not to smile so big when you make eye contact with her as she passes, but you feel yourself blush like a little kid who has a crush. The older lady thanks you for helping and you barely mumble back a "you're welcome" before you're rushing to the back where Nat's clocking in. It's early in the morning, so there's no one really here besides you, your manager and 2 other co-workers not including Nat. So, when you enter the breakroom and find only her in it, you sigh with relief and give her a quick kiss on the cheek before sitting on the counter next to her.

"God, I've only been here an hour and I've missed you so much." you groan, throwing your head back and cracking your back. "Thank Jesus I'm only doing go-backs today..."

"Yeah, well, you're lucky. Boss has me working on the register alone until what's his face gets here at 12. That's 2 fuckin' hours of working alone." she mumbles, putting her phone in her back pocket and adjusting her nametag.
