Coffee With My... Mia (Charlie & Mia.)

Another typical day at The Holey Place. Charlie had no complaints, but it had been a bit slow and she was a little bored, so she had found herself flipping through job interview notes. Other than Callie, none of the people she had interviewed quite fit what she was looking for, so she was at a bit of a loss at what to do. Tapping her chin, she grabbed a piece of paper and wrote on it in her neatest handwriting - JOB OPENINGS AVAILABLE.

She probably should have done this before now.

Hearing the chime that went off signaling customers, she grabbed the paper and some tape and strode up to the front counter. "G'day!" she chirped, seeing the two young people standing before her. Her eyes instantly went to the girl's hair. "Ohhh. That color looks brilliant on you. Good choice." She reached over the counter and taped the sign against the side, humming briefly before glancing back up and catching the boy's eye, and his wink. A smirk touched her mouth. "And what can I do for you lovebirds today?" she asked, giving the guy a quick up-and-down, as she usually did. Sure their arms were linked, but that didn't mean she wasn't going to play.

Mia blushed, she was never the kind to blush often and doing it so often today was starting to make her feel vulnerable. He was only teasing her right? Or was it that she was being that obvious about it? She rolled her eyes and smiled “You are so full of yourself.” She tried to act cool, like the question didn’t faze her at all in anyway.

If he was a mind reader it would make both their lives so much easier. Might piss Mia off to no end but it would be easier. Mia thought Cameron was the most expensive thing on any menu. She stood on her tippy toes “So get something you usually have.” There were so many choices to choice from, but she usually just went with the things she usually gets, the same thing every time, it made life easier.

Mia blushed at the compliment the woman gave her and scratched the back of her head as Cam chimed in. She was really starting to dislike blushing. “Oh thank you. Hair dye is really expensive though. I like your hair too. Do you dye your roots or your hair?” It was a valid question, depending on the answer she was either a blonde or a brunette. Her blush depended as the woman called them love birds, did they really seem like a couple? She rolled her eyes at Cameron “We aren’t even arguing.. So your point before isn’t valid.” She bit her lip, she wouldn’t admit it but she liked the boy leaning on her shoulder. She saw the sign and moved to pinch Cameron in the side and then pointed at the sign. Wanting to move pass the whole couple thing, though she did pick up that he hadn’t denied that they were a couple; she tried not to think about it. “Are you really hiring?” Stupid question right? Yeah but it would start the conversation to them needing a job.

“I’ll get a Carmel Frappuccino please.” She shook her head at the boy. She gave a sheepish smile to the woman. She moved to look at the doughnuts. “You really want to get the one that looks moldy?” She looked at the raspberry Romeo one, she liked dunkin doughnut’s jelly filled “How good is the raspberry Romeo doughnut?” She usually sticked with the original kinds, like the chocolate glaze but she felt she should start trying to get out of her comfort zone.

The blushing really just blended in with her hair, and honestly, Cam was doing his best to try and not look at her very often. Otherwise, he’d be doing a lot of his own blushing. He could only smile – he was only as full of himself as people allowed him to be. No one was complaining about the confident blonde, other than pointing it out.

Life was meant to be lived, not easy. He laughed again and shook his head. “I don’t usually go out for coffee you know, I don’t have a usual.” Some people had their coffee black, some had decaf macchiato espresso frappucino campino, it was all coffee in the end, with or without milk or sugar of some kind. Tea was also good in his opinion. Oh, this was going to be difficult deciding.

“We have to argue to be a couple?” He asked, his expression amused. “Well we argue all the time, according to you it make things fun.” Oh now Cameron was just milking it. But he would milk it for all it was worth. Mia had set herself up for this one. He glanced at where she gestured. Cam had been a bit preoccupied to notice. “Aw, no way!” His eyes beamed, a little light added to them. “Do you have any applications to fill out?” He was definitely looking. Hey, two birds with one stone! Not bad, they were going to go job hunting together anyways. He winked at Mia before smiling brightly at the clerk. He’d totally work here.

Cam shrugged. “Sure, looks fine to me.” If Mia wanted to get out of her comfort zone she was definitely with the right guy. He’d never tried a green tea donut before, and now he wanted to. “One of those green tea donuts, and Romeo’s for my Mia. As if she doesn’t get enough romance from me.” He caught both of their drinks, and held Mia’s just out of her reach for a couple seconds, smirking at her. He couldn’t do it for long though, and eventually quit teasing her and handed it back to her.

He raised an eyebrow at Charlie. Not one for tradition? Hmm, well this would be interesting. “I don’t see why you’d want to hire me,” he said, taking a sip of his drink and looking at Charlie. “Mmm! Wow, this is delicious! What's it called again?” He paused. “Anyways, I’m so shy, you think I’d fit in here?” He asked, leaning over the counter at her. He sent a sideways glance at Mia and winked at them. Both of them were going to get hired.
