ONCE BEAU GOT TO WORK, he had to immediately go to the counter, the place was packed, and they were understaffed. He barely had time to eat his sandwich before the manager urged him to get to work. LoveStruck is one of the café’s  close to the university right around the corner and because of that it's very popular with the students and teachers. The owners of the cafe themselves don't work with them and lets the manager handle several jobs for them as they spend time together. It's super romantic when Beau sees them together.

"Beau, make an espresso and a caramel latte." Beau's coworker and manager Tommy said as he passed him. Nodding his head, he went to work quickly so they could serve the customers faster. It took a whole two hours before the rush hour passed, and things got calmer.

Tommy was the first to sit down tiredly, he must've been working since morning. Beau sat down next to him biting into a cookie. "Hey kid." Beau glanced at the brunet. Tommy looked pale and had messy brown hair that never seem to want to be tamed. "Go do your schoolwork; I can handle things from here."

"Are you sure?" Beau watched outside the big window as some people walked by some stopping to look inside and some coming inside. Betty was at the cashier taking orders and making them since it was calmer.

"Yes, just go." Tommy shooed him away and with no other choice Beau walked back to the changing and break room pulling out his homework from his bag pack. The sight of the never-ending work from school made him sigh, he stared helplessly at all the unfinished homework of this week and an essay he was supposed to finish by tomorrow and he hasn't written even half of it yet. Confused by half of the homework, he managed to finish as much as he could. He knew he was behind in several of his classes, and he might fail the next tests. He should get a tutor or stop working so much.

"What's up?" Betty, the redhead coworker of his sat down next to him while she pulled out her phone, typing quickly on it. "What's gotten you down?" She asked Beau, she raised an eyebrow questioning. Beau shrugged, he gave her a pointed look and motioned to all the papers and books in front of him. Betty Johnson nodded and gave him a look of pity but didn't say anything else.

Beau got fed up with his homework and he packed it away deciding to finish them when he gets home. Probably going to regret procrastinating again but he pushed away the thoughts. Just in time Tommy's head popped out of the door telling him he needed his help again, so he was back to work for the next few hours left of his shift.

Standing at the cashier Beau doodled with a bored expression on a piece of paper. He made sure to draw as many caricatures as he could remember. The coffee shop's empty after rush hour and currently he was the only one at the counter. Tommy was finally sitting down and resting, and Betty was cleaning the tables with an annoyed expression.

Tommy was doing some inventory but looking at him now, Beau is pretty sure the man's almost falling asleep. Beau opened the cookie jar for the workers taking another cookie. He was hungry and tired, and he wanted to go home but he still has about an hour left on his shift now. Turning back to his doodles he noticed Betty's eyes on him. "You had five cookies, B." She pointed it out. "Save some for me too."

"Sorry. I'm hungry.” Beau smiled slightly. She rolled her eyes but smiled. She walked back to the counter, taking the whole jar away and started eating her share. Beau grinned at their childishness.

Beau raised his head when he heard the door chime, his eyes widened slightly at the sight of the customer. A’Ran walked in looking as mesmerizing  as ever, and he wasn’t alone. The guy with him was smiling softly listening to whatever A’Ran was saying to him.

Beau froze in his spot; He stared with anticipation waiting for A’Ran to approach.

"Hi, welcome to LoveStruck." With a polite smile on his face, Beau quickly got to work.

Work now, admire later. Giving the duo his signature costumer smile he waited for them to order.

"Hello, Beau.” A’Ran smiled at him. “I'll have a large sized Cinnamon iced coffee with extra cinnamon and a cinnamon roll and he'll have a medium sized nonfat iced caramel macchiato." A’Ran said that smile made Beau almost drop the large cup he grabbed for their order. “Alright, is that all? Can I have your names?"

" It’s A’Ran and Ivan.” A’Ran pulled out his card and paid. “Yes, thanks, Beau.”

Beau smiled nodding, writing the names down on the cups. Beau paused writing, looking up at the duo, he noticed they were distracted. Beau noticed a piece of paper fall on the counter from A’Ran’s bag.  Beau grabbed it and he smiled, getting an idea. After serving them their drinks and clocking out for the day Beau made it back home.
