Felix's POV

Much to my horror the scent of cedar and whiskey lingered in the back of my mind during my entire heat, I felt like I was going insane the entire time and couldn't be more relieved that it's finally over. I messaged Jisung as soon as it ended last night and we stayed up chatting for a while after Jisung caught me up on everything that happened at the cafe while I was off and I'm a little upset I missed out on Seungmin going off on a customer who had demanded they were given the wrong drink and wanted a refund, the customer had drank the entire coffee before even coming up to make the demand and apparently Seungmin was functioning on red bull and 2 hours of sleep that day.

I pull on a soft pink tee shirt and my light wash skinny jeans for my shift at the cafe, opting to tie my blonde hair back in a half ponytail for the day and throw a couple of pink clips on my bangs for aesthetics. I slip on my pink checkered vans as I gather my handbag and anything else I'll need for my shift.

Locking my apartment behind me I head down to my truck, a dark blue GMC Sierra that I absolutely adore. I roll down my windows and blast my playlist as I make the 15 minute drive to the cafe. Once I arrive I greet Seungmin who's working the register and grab my apron before clocking in for the day.

Jongho comes up to the front having clearly been baking in the back prior based on the chocolate creme on his apron and cheek. I wave to the omega chuckling at the chocolate residue and how fitting it is since chocolate is his scent.

"Hey Felix! Glad you're back, Yeosang and I have been at odds trying to keep the gremlins in check." Jongho pips up as he walks over to us, Seungmin glaring at him and subtly giving him the bird which makes me giggle and shake my head at them.

"Jisung told me about Seungmin's red bull and sleep deprivation induced tantrum so I'm not surprised, And I'm sure Sung wasn't any better." I manage to reply, earning a gentle shove from Seungmin who immediately proceeds to stick his tongue out at me.

"Nope, Anyways Yeosangie wants you working the register as usual. He's doing a grocery run right now but he should be back soon and Jisung comes in to relieve Seungmin in like 2 hours." I nod and give Jongho a thumbs up as I get comfortable behind the register and examine the people passing by our cafe while I wait for customers. I recognize one of our regulars an elderly lady who gives us constant heart attacks when she chugs her caramel latte with 10 shots of espresso completely unfazed.

The first time she came in she had told a worried Jisung "I'm nearing 100 dear, my life motto is fuck it I'll be dead soon anyway." It traumatized Jisung and left me in awe of her ability to not give a fuck. As soon as she gets up to the counter I'm smiling brightly.

"The usual Miss Amy?"

"You know it dear," She replies sweetly as I put in her order and get her payment before going to make the drink. We get busy with customers after that and Seungmin and I both end up doing a lot of speed walking between making drinks and taking orders. It doesn't slow back down until 30 minutes before Jisung is supposed to arrive and both Seungmin and I are grateful for the break in the chaos.

The bell signaling a new customer chimes and I look up to greet them but words get caught in my throat as I come face to face with the owner of the club. Shaking myself out of my stupor I smile at the Alpha and find my voice again.

"Hello, what can I get for you today?"

"Well this is a pleasant surprise, what would you recommend for someone who likes latte's with a bit of a floral taste?" My ears heat up at the mention of flowers and I try not to question if he could smell the lavender that day when giving my recommendation.

"Our Lavender Plum latte is pretty good, we also have a cherry blossom themed latte but it doesn't have as much of a floral taste."

"I'll take a large iced lavender plum latte." Chan replies with a smile and pulls out his card to pay. I try not to think too hard as I make his drink and bring it over to the counter.

"It's nice to see you Felix, you look beautiful today." Chan speaks up as he takes his drink from the counter, the smell of Whiskey flooding my senses as I attempt to stutter out a thank you.

"Damn Lix, he's hot." Seungmin speaks up beside me and I almost choke on air glaring at him as I try to steady my breathing. He did look amazing today though, I hadn't noticed them that night at the club but he had tattoos on his neck and chest that stand out with the red button up he has on. The whole outfit was nice though with the black dress pants and what appeared to be black heeled boots of some kind.

"Earth to Lixie," My friend Jisung pipes up, snapping me out of my thoughts and my cheeks flush knowing I had been so distracted I never even heard him show up.

"Sorry Sungie, I got lost in my thoughts." Jisung gives me a knowing look as I reply and nods his head in Chan's direction.

"You should totally give him your number." Jisung suggests playfully and I smack him on the arm before returning to my task at the register unaware of Chan's amused gaze as he watched the two of us bicker.
