Ease Dropping (Starbucks Challenge)

It was my first day on the job and so far within the ten minutes of my shift I found out that this job has much more potential then you think. I breathed in the deep aroma of coffee as I wiped the whip cream off my hands and onto my green apron. A young couple was sitting at a table, the girl looked totally heart broken and even though it was none of my business I couldnt help but ease drop.
“What are you talking about your going morman?” the flowery girl asked.
He rolled his eyes,”No um, Im just saying if I had two girlfriends I’d be uh more responsible.”
“But Im Im Catholic.”she said stuttering. I felt bad for the poor girl.
“Then its over. Your being unreasonable.”the jerk said standing up from the table and heading toward the door. I grabbed a piece of marble cake from the bin and headed toward her.
“I kind of overheard the whole thing. And well Im sorry.” I said handing her the cake.
Within seconds the flowery girl was sitting on my lap hugging me sobbing into my apron and wiping her eyes with the cake.
