Tea Leaves.
Daisy was sitting behind the counter reading a book. Today was a slow day, do she didn't have much to do. Her brother was out buying whatever crap he needed. She just read and waited for a customer to come in.
Logan and Vivien walked into the cafe; Vivien took a seat while Logan walked up to the girl behind the register. "Hello," he said the words coming out deeply his voice deep and booming.
Reid made a bubble out of her green gum, letting it expand tell it gave a delicious pop. "What can I get for you?" She asked in a bored tone. She flipped her red hair out her eyes only to have it fall back into them.
Daisy smirked, seeing Reid talkin to the boy. She shook her head, this would be funny. She continued to read but eavesdropped.
Logan's eyes fell on Daisy catching her smile and smiled,"One green tea and one black coffee," he said as he pulled out his wallet.
Daisy frowned, and sighed. Boys. She continued to read, not doing much. Her family owned the store so she mostly just took care of it. She mumbled,"Black coffee isn't organic..."She hope they wouldn't hear, it was the truth though.
She huffed, crossing her arms and looking over to Daisy, annoyed. Now she had to wait just to see what she was going to say.
Daisy looked up and fixed her glasses. She glanced at Reid,"Stop acting huffy." She looked at Logan,"Black coffee is the worse to drink because of it's artificial flavors. I'd recommend black tea. Doesn't taste the same but the name is similar." She shrugged and went back to reading
"Well if you'd stop mumbling under your breath everytime a costumer orders something you don't like, my job would be damn simpler. Don't ya think?" She asked sarcastically. "That what you want or not," she asked the guy.
Logan smiled,"Well I guess I'll take the black tea and don't knocked her she like what she does there's no shame in that." He said as he placed ten bucks on the counter.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever." She snatched the bill up, sliding it into the slot it belonged it and gave him his change. "Hang on while I get it ready."
Daisy rolls her eyes,"It's an organic shop. People should think before ordering." She looked at Logan and smiled,"Thank you." She then went back to reading.
Logan chuckled and took the change before he looked to Daisy,"No problem," he said before he walked over to Vivien and talked with her.
Daisy watched the boy before lookin back at her book.Donald kicked the door in,"Daisy!" He went over to his sister,"Hello! Why are you reading so much? Your already smart." He ruffled her hair and went behind the counter. He looked over at Vivien and then started to flirt with Reid,"Hey beautiful. You look extra feisty today." He winked and then looked around the shop.
Logan and Vivien looked at the fdoor their muscle tensing before they relaxed. Logan smirked and Vivien rose an eyebrow as she watched the new guy walk in and talk. "I'm guessing brother or friend." She said. "Brother, you fan see the family resemblance." Logan said with a chuckle before he got back up to get their drinks.
Reid had them sitting on the counter, getting cool while she leaned against the lip, looking at her nails. "Oh. Yeah. Forgot to tell ya the order's ready," she remarked when she noticed him. To Donald she snapped, "Like you know what fiesty is."
Logan chuckled and grabbed their drinks,"Well thanks anyway," he said before he dropped five into the tip jar and walked back to Vivien.
Daisy looked up and smiled,"Donald be nice to her. She works here." She giggled and shook her head. Her brother was always flirting with Reid. She looked at Logan,"Enjoy your tea."Donald kissed Reid's cheek,"I love it when you snap it me. So, how's your day been?" He smiled sweetly at her. He was always happy and upbeat.
Logan smiled and raised his cup to her,"Well if someone as pretty s you recommended it then it has to be good." He said with a smile before he placed her cup down and sat.
"Dude," she snapped. "Go mack on someone who would actually like it!" She wiped her cheek off, disguted look on her face.
Daisy rolled her eyes, he was almost as bad as her brother. She started to make her own tea creation. She walked over to Logan,"Since you like my suggestions so much, do you mind being a taste tester?"Donald pouted,"I thought you liked it. You keep coming back." He kissed her cheek again, just to make her angry. She looked beautiful when she was angry. To him at least. He smirked and watched her.
Reid's face turned red. "I fuckin' work here!" She exploded. "Of course I'd freakin' come back! You are such a pig." She shoved him away from her, scrubbing hard at her cheek. "Ugh!"
Logan chuckled and nodded,"Sure why not," he said as he got up. He looked at Vic who nodded,"Who am I to stand in the way of a beautiful girl." She teased making him laugh and walk over to Daisy.
Daisy smiled,"Perfect." She set a cup of tea down. She said,"The ingredients are very simple. Cloves, peppermint, and a touch of cayenne pepper." She smiled. Daisy loved making her own tea.Donald said,"I know but you still talk to me." He shrugged and warned her. He asked,"Why don't you like me?"
She looked him up and down. He was too.... So not her type. She dated guys who could give her what she needed in both sex and drugs. Donald wasn't that kind of guy. "I don't have to explain myself to you." She remarked with a snappy tone. Her chin raised a fraction as she stood a little taller, squaring up to him.(I thought he was gonna be with Vivien?)
Donald leaned close,"If a guy likes a girl but she hates him. He deserves to know why." He shrugged. It was simple logic. He waited for an answer.[I thought about it and though it would be way more fun with Reid. Haha. They are like fire and water!]
(Haha very interesting.... >:D)She quirked a brow. "Really," she questioned. "Welp sorry babycheeks. You don't get a reason from this girl." She brushed past him. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have work to do." But she really didn't. It was a slow day of all days and she cursed fate for it. Now she'd be stuck trying to get Donald Duck off her back. "Sheesh," she grumbled, snatching up the bottle to clean the counters with and found a fresh rag. She began to wipe them down, keeping her undivided attention on her task only. Maybe he'd leave her alone. Maybe.
Donald pouted,"Fine. I'll get an answer soon, babygirl. Just watch." He turned he around and kissed her, full on the mouth. He then pulled away, smirking and left the shop. He walked down the street whistiling.
Logan chuckled and sat at the bar and took a sip of the tea,"Not bad, it has a nice kick." He complemented before he took another sip of the drink. Vivien smiled and rose to her feet, she winked at Logan before she left the shop.
Reid nearly screamed in surprise. She chunked the bottle at him, missing and watching as it smacked into the wall instead as he smoothly walked out the door. "I'm pressing charges on your bro, Daisy! That's the last damn time he puts those grimey lips on me!" She tossed the rag to the floor, furious at him.
"That's probably the pepper. Makes it more...flavorful." She nodded and then sighed,"Excuse me for one sec." She walked over to Reid and slapped her. She said,"Shut. Up. My brother has liked you ever since you applied for the job, he' the only reason you have this job. Be tried vein nice, you treated him like crap. Now he's acting like those assholes you think are cute. Look, if you truly don't like him then quit. That's the only way he knows you really don't want to see him. Otherwise, your just a hitch in denial." She walked away and went to Logan. She smiled,"Wanna try another?"
(That just made my day! She smiled, "Wanna try another?" Bahahahahaha!)The slap came unexpectedly. It didn't really hurt other than the little tingling sensations starting where flesh met flesh. But what she said stunned her. For once Reid Salinas had absolutely no snappy remark to return. She realized Daisy was right, but if she quit she wouldn't have a job to pay her bills and if she couldn't do that she'd be kicked out of her apartment. She snapped her jaw shut, clenching it tight. She'd just have to tell Donald that she was strictly here to survive - not play tongue war with anyone.
Silenly she bent and picked up the rag. Moving around the counter she grabbed the bottle, wiping away the mess. She checked the clock. Her shift wasn't over for a while. She sighed. In the back of her mind she found she held respect for the girl. She was tougher than she appeared.
Logan chuckled and nodded,"Sure, what else do you have?" HR asked her as he placed the cup on the bar and waited.
[Thanks Skitz :) I like my new charrie]Daisy nodded and started to make a new tea. She set it down,"That...pepper, sage, and lemon." She smiled and watched him. She said,"It's supposed to taste peppery and sour."
(Never mind!)"I'm gonna go ahead and put my two weeks notice in, Daisy," she called over to her. "Gives me enough time to hopefully find another job." She wiped the machines down good. "I'll tell your brother myself when I see him that I'm quiting."
Logan chuckled and nodded,"So tell me how does someone get into the tea business?" He asked as he took a sip. "Whoa, you were right sour, maybe just a little sugar." He suggested as he took another sip.
Daisy nodded at Reid,"He may be at th bookstore or somewhere else." She shrugged and then looked at Logan. She grabbed the sugar shaker and put a little bit in his tea. She said,"Try it now!"
"That mean I'm free to leave early?" She spared a glance at the clock again. "It's slow tonight anyways."
Logan chuckled and nodded,"Yea its great," he said before he set the cup down. "But you didn't answer my question." B
She grabbed her leather coat, making a face at Daisy's back. Shrugging into it she gave the birdy as a goodbye wave. "See ya." With that she headed out to go get stoned. It was about that time already. She checked her cell. Three missed calls from Mitch and one text from James. Tonight was gonna be good.
Daisy ignored Reid and smiled,"Thanks and sorry. My parents own the store and they loved to make healthy foods. So, they come up with the shop idea. The name was my idea, though." She shrugged
"Quit original, and better then what I would have picked for the name," he said with a chuckle. "So now I have another question for you." He said as he rested his elbows on the counter and leaned in. "Would I be to forward if I told you you we very pretty?"
Daisy smiled,"Thank you. I pride myself in being creative." She then frowned slowly and bit her lip. She said,"I wouldn't mind you saying I'm pretty..."
Logan looked at her,"Really, cause your face and body say something different." H said as he looked her over. "Do I make you uncomfortable?" He asked her wanting her honest opinion.
Daisy said,"No it's just that..." She adjusted her glasses and then shrugged,"I don't know. Your the first guy to call me pretty and it's wierd."



Daisy and Donald Duc work here, their family owns the shop. :)
