"Just don't give me a bruise or anythin'," said Ershey, smirking as she saw the waiter walk towards their table with their food. He set down the plates and immediately made his leave.
"Well, here's to a good sellin' day." Ershey smiled, grabbing her fork.

Mush had already stuffed his turkey sandwich in his mouth. Upon hearing Ershey's little toast, he stopped chewing and looked at her guiltily.

Ershey was about ready to take a bite out of her sandwich but then noticed Mush's change in expression. "Um, what's wrong?" she asked, wondering if she'd done something wrong.

He swallowed the large bite of his sandwich with a loud gulp.
"I- uh- If I'd known you be makin' a toast, I woulda waited." He chuckled nervously.

Ershey stared at him, sandwich still in hand, then began laughing uncontrollably. This guy definitely had a big appetite.
"You looked so worried," she said, still laughing at him in amusement. "It's nothin'. Don't worry about it, I can tell you're hungry. It's cute." Upon realizing what she just said, Ershey immediately stopped laughing and took a bite out of her sandwich, determined to stop talking and just keep on eating.

Mush did the same. He devoured half of his sandwich in only two bites, which actually wasn't a record for him. He was still trying to get it done in one bite. One fine day...
After finishing the whole sandwich, he patted his mostly full stomach (though, truthfully, he could have eaten two more sandwiches). "That was delicious." He muttered, not sure whether to thank Ershey for it...

"You look satisfied," said Ershey, once she finished her sandwich. It was actually rare for her to eat a full meal, since she was always putting away her money. A meal a day usually got the deal done. "Do you always eat here?"

"As much as I can." He answered, taking a sip of his coke.
"Usually, after selling the morning edition, right before the afternoon edition, and a couple hours after the evening edition. If I can swing it."

"It's weird that I haven't seen you since the other night," said Ershey, puzzled. She shrugged, however, putting on smile. "I'm still glad you didn't have the money on you that night."

Mush blushed, biting back a huge smile.
"Yeah... Me too." He cleared his throat, trying to gather up the nerve to do this: "Do you wanna go out sometime?"

Ershey stared at him. "Um, er... like a date?"

It took every ounce of courage within Mush to look back at her.
"...Yeah."

Ershey bit her lip, trying her best not to sound too excited and jump for joy. Deep down inside, she really did like Mush. He was fun and he made her laugh, unlike most people she knew.
"Okay," she grinned, nodding.

Mush let out a huge sigh before smiling at her. He had to think of something really great.
"Do you work here tonight?"

I really don't have to, she thought. Ershey rarely missed work and she thought this would be a good enough reason for her to take a break from serving and listening to other people's orders.
She shook her head, still grinning. "Nope."
