The last thing I heard was my mate, David scream: “Tim!” Before blacking out.

I wonder if anything serious happened, I mean I feel fine. Completely unaware of the time, I decided to sit down on the red leather sofa and turn on the television. I was greeted with an old familiar voice: “Good morning my fellow Americans.” Said Obama.

Is this a re run? Or like a special occasion? Is he speaking on behalf of Biden?

“Today as your president, I’d like to make a few announcements.” Wait no. That can’t be.

He’s not the president.

I looked at the date on my phone, it read: Saturday 3rd July. However the time read:

12:46pm. Oh no, I’m late for work! I’ll catch up on the news later I guess.

Fortunately my work was just down the road.

My Boss, Sam greeted me. “Hi, Tim.”

“Sam? Is that you?” I said puzzled. My boss never greeted me. He never even liked me.

“Keep up the good work Tim, all goods about being late today.” Said Sam cheerfully.

I walked over to the Starbucks counter and walked over to my co worker, Kate. I whispered: “ Is Sam being nice today?”

“Sam’s normally nice.” She whispered back

“not to me...” I said puzzled again.

“What do you mean? You’re his favourite employee!.”

“I am!?”

“Did you go through Amnesia?.” Asked Kate as she pointed to the wall.

I couldn’t believe my eyes.

There I was Employee of the month.

Not once, not twice but for 5 months straight. I blinked in disbelief.

Wait it’s only me and Kate?

“Kate, is it just us two working together today?.” I asked.

“Yeah the others are busy and our rival coffeeshop across the street, CoffeeGo has a special limited time edition promotion of a desert, so we expected less customers today. So far We’ve been right.”

“I see, but Was CoffeeGo always there?”

“CoffeeGo was There! You worked at CoffeeGo before working here!”

I decided to ‘Google’ CoffeeGo. However My web search engine was replaced by Bing. Strange, although Bing works too I guess.

It read “Coffee on the Go was the original name for the Coffee shop, however it was shortened to CoffeeGo.”

“Oh by the way Tim, happy birthday!.”

“Thanks!”

“I’ll give you my gift later today, I don’t have it on me at the moment.”

“Oh sure, Thanks!”

The work shift finished and we closed up the shop. I was about to head home when I saw Kate suddenly text someone and then my friend Tristan suddenly called me.

“Hello my man!”

“Sup bro? Wasn’t expecting a call from you.”

I said. I mean last time we spoke, we weren’t on the best of terms and we hadn’t yet really reconciled. I was glad none the less though.

“Do you wanna have a quick catch up.?”

“Sure.”

“Hold up, I’ll drive over to your work.”

“Sure thing, I’ll talk to you when you get here.”

“Cya soon mate.”

Kate then left and waved bye as she exited the shop. I waved back.

A few minutes later, Tristan pulled up in his red Ferrari. “Yo Tristan!”

“Yo Tim!”

“Wasn’t your car a blue Porsche?”

“That’s currently at home, I’m felt like taking this for a spin instead.”

“When did you acquire these wheels?”

“Their actually my brother’s. He works for a car testing company.”

“How fast can this go?”

“Fast.”

“Can I join you?”

“Sure man. Hop on in.”

We began to chat about our lives however he kept asking questions I couldn’t exactly answer. Such as:

“How’s your niece, does she still remember Uncle Tristan?”

“I think so.” I said. I just straight up told a white Lie. I have a niece? What did he mean by Uncle Tristan? we’re not related at all...

We kept awkwardly chatting until we found an empty basket court. “Wanna shoot some shots before I take you home?”

“You’re on mate.”

Unfortunately I lost, 25 to 18.

“Man, no wonder you were our shooting guard back then in high school.”

“Haha, Yes sirrrr, still got it. Time to go home aye, I’ll pop by to say hi to your parents to if you don’t mind.”

“Sure thing, man.” I said as we hoped back into the red Ferrari.

I opened the house door and was greeted by my niece? “Uncle Tim and Uncle Tristan have come!”

“Hello!” I said as I embraced her gentle hug.

She guided. (Unfortunately At this moment, I wrote too much)
