Sasha hated when Steve came to interrupt your shift. She is your best friend but it was a bit tiring now, since he always came on his break to either make-out, flirt, or to gossip. Therefore, she’d always say she’s taking her break to leave you in charge of the store and avoid listening to Steve’s rambles.

His sailor outfit was a stark contrast to the high-end fashion you sold in the store you worked at and you thought it was the funniest thing ever. The first week, Steve had been too embarrassed to even leave the ice cream parlor. By now, he couldn’t give two fucks. And knowing Sasha hated it only made him come by twice as often.

”Babe, you were right. Eric wasn’t just cheating on Tessa with Vivian, but also with Brenda! He came into Scoops with her just now, in broad fucking daylight. And guess who also popped up at the mall? Tessa. So they’re sitting there eating their ice cream with two spoons, all gooey and sickeningly adorable if he hadn’t been a dick… when Ben sees Tessa, but she hasn’t seen him yet. So I’m watching, right, and suddenly Ben looks at me and tells me to let him go out the back with Brenda.”

He takes a quick pause only to gesture to you that there’s more.

”So I said that was against company policy and that I unfortunately couldn’t help him. And then I walked forward and accidentally knocked a chair over,” he grinned as he replayed it in his head, “gathered a bit of attention, so weird,” his eyes widened as he spoke, “Tessa’s attention too. You should’ve seen it. I wish you could’ve seen it.”
