Coffee for the day

Source
"Do you, Claudia take this hot cup of coffee to be your lawfully wedded drink, to stick by it through all the turbulence that may come?".
I smiled at the priest then turned to my coffee, "I do".
"I now pronounce you two as one. You may take a sip"
I stretched my hand forward, carefully carried my cup of coffee and was about to take a sip when I heard.
Beep Beep Beep

I groaned and opened my eyes. Dragging my feet out of bed I got out of bed. I had to be at work by 8:15AM and I still felt so tired but I knew it was nothing a cup of coffee couldn't fix.
In the kitchen, I prepared for my usual morning ritual which was ground the beans, then boil water in the kettle to brew my coffee. I turned the beans into the grinder then pressed the button on my coffee grinder when I heard a strange sound. It couldn't be faculty I thought. It had a three years warranty and I was just on my second year. I tried again but it was thesame thing. I checked the time, 7:07AM.

I opened up the grinder to see if it was something that had a quick fix and saw that one of the blades had snapped off. I cursed under my breath and quickly checked the time again, It was 7:10 AM now and I had to be at work by 8:15 AM. I did some mental calculation in my head, the stores didn't open until 8:30AM. I needed my morning fix so I began to panick.
I started to think of all possible solutions, nothing seemed to work then it hit me, "Jeremy"
I quickly adjusted my robe and ran over to my neighbors house. I pounded on the door. He opened it and if looks could kill I'd be on the floor right now.
"Jesus Christ Dee it's not even 8:00 in the morning. Why are you pounding on my door like that?"
"IwokeupandwantedtomakemymorningcoffeebutthenmygrinderjustwentpuffandnowIhavenocoffeeandI'mgonnacry"
"I didn't understand a single thing you just said"
"Coffee, I need coffee. Your grinder. I need to borrow it" I breathed out.

Without a word he went inside and came back with a really heavy looking grinder, "You have serious issues". He handed it to me, "Oh and one more thing. Never pound on my door if it's not 8 in the morning", he finished with a glare.
"What a grinch" I muted under my breath . I grabbed it and hurried back to my apartment . I plugged in,, transferred my beans and turned it on. Nothing happened. I tried again, still nothing.
My phone started to ring. I picked it up, "Hello"
"I forgot to tell you it doesn't work", Jeremy said with laughter in his voice
"I swear when next I see you I'm going to murder to you Jer-"
"Just use the pre-ground coffee I saw in your cupboard for today"
"Oh my God. I forgot about them. Thank you".
"I know I'm awesome and I guess I have a murder free pass right". I laughed and ended the call.

I quickly ran to the cupboard and grabbed a bag of pre-ground coffee. I had some in the pantry for emergencies, but I had never had to use it before. I filled my cup with the beans, taking the kettle I poured in the water which had cooled a little and was the perfect temperature letting it brew.
The smell of the coffee was different than usual, but it still smelled good. I took a sip and the taste was not as good as my freshly ground coffee, but it was still decent.I added milk and little sugar then took a sip. I closed my my eyes letting it hit all the right spots. I gulped down the rest of the cup and quickly ran to the bathroom to get ready for work.

I was out the door by 7:45 AM and on my way to work. I knew that I had to find a new coffee grinder soon, but I was glad that I had been able to get some coffee in me before I had to go to work because everyone would have felt the impact if I had not.
When I arrived at work, I was still feeling the effects of the coffee. I was able to think clearly and was ready to tackle the day. First things first, I wrote on my to-do list
✓Repair my coffee grinder
✓ Get a backup coffee grinder
That's how important my coffee is and I almost forgot number three.
✓ Kill Jeremy(not literally).
