Breakfast at Starbucks

     

ALIS P.O.V

When we got out of our cab, Mark and I waited in line to order our food. Sadly there are eight people in front of us. Meaning we're going to have to wait for a while in line.

I hope I wont be late for work.  

"So what do you do for a living?" said Mark as we waited in line. 

"Im a P.A for the CEO of Lexon Corp." I said. 

"Wow. Thats great." said Mark

"Thanks. Today is my first day and the guy that I was arguing with this morning, is my boss." I said with a small laugh. 

He laughed and said "You've got guts, if your're going to argue with your boss." 

"Thank you, I guess. I've only known him for almost two whole days and so far, the only thing I've learned about him is that sometimes he can be a complete asshole." 

He laughed and said " Whats so bad about him?" 

"Well he —-"

"Excuse me miss, are you ready to take your order?" said the Starbucks cashier, interrupting my conversation with Mark. 

"Yes, I would like to take a pumpkin spice latte and a toasted bagel with cream cheese." I said with a smile.

"And you sir?" said the cashier turning towards Mark.

"I'll have what she's having." said Mark.

"Alright that will be $19.56." said the cashier.

I took out my wallet and am about to pay for our food when Mark stops me. I turned towards Mark and said "I'll pay for it. Think of it as a 'Thank you' for sharing your cab with me." 

Mark shook his head and said "No, it's alright. Think of this as a 'Thank you' for having breakfast with me."

"Mark..." i said with a small laugh

"Ali..." he said mimicking me.

"Just let him pay for it miss. Your boyfriend is trying to do something sweet for you." said the cashier. 

"Yeah, here that Ali? Im trying to do something sweet. So let ME pay." said an amused Mark.

"I'll pay for both of them." said a familiar deep voice.

NO WAY. This guy is everywhere. 

We both turned around and came face to face with a smirking Matthew.

After Matthew paid for our food, Mark and I grabbed our meal and walked away from Matthew after saying 'Thank you.' I made sure to pick a table with only two seats, that way Matthew can't come and join us. 

I sat on one seat and Mark sat in the seat across from me. Two seconds later, Matthew came back with food and two extra chairs. 

What does this man think he's doing? 

Since our table was shaped like a square, Matthew sat the two chairs on the empty sides of the table. One chair on my right and the other chair on my left. 

"Mr. Day, what are you doing here? I thought you were going straight to work? And why do you have two extra chairs?" I said with an exasperated tone. 

"I was, but then a friend called me and asked if I wanted to join her for breakfast. These two extra chairs are for me and her." Said Matthew with a smirk. 

When he said 'her' for some reason my heart dropped a little. 

"A friend? Where is she?" I said looking around. 

He left and came back with an old familiar lady who looks like she's sixty years old.

"Mrs. Finkleston?" I said shocked.

"You know her? Said Matthew and Mark in unison. 

"Yeah, she's my next door neighbor. How do you know her?" I asked in an amused tone.

"She's my.. She's my..." said Matthew stuttering a little.

"She's your what?" I asked. 

"She's my grandma. Yeah, thats it! She's my grandma." Said Matthew with a smirk. 

"I am?" said Mrs. Finkleston

"She is?" I said at the same time Mrs. Finkleston spoke.

"Yes. Yes she is." Said Matthew with a triumphant smile. 

For some reason, I have a feeling he's lying.

Mark laughed and said "Wow. Small world."

"Would it be alright if me and my grandma joined you both for breakfast?" asked Matthew with a smile. 

"Yes, Of course" said Mark. 

Matthew sat on my right and Mrs. Finkleston sat on my left. 

"So Mrs. Finkleston, do you have any embarrassing stories to tell about Matthew?" I asked with a laugh.

She smirked at Matthew, then turned to me and said in the most sweetest tone "Why yes dear. Yes I do." 

Oh this is gonna be good.
