Ava & Brandon

Story- Meet at coffee shop and hit it off.

Ava's POV

It's a cold day here in Chicago. Snow covering the whole city, making it look like I am trapped in a snowglobe.

The only thing I seek is a warm cup of coffee.

I exit my apartment, all bundled up in my scarf that is eating me alive. I lock the door behind me and walk down the streets of Chicago.

After a few minutes of walking and admiring the beauty of the sun rising and slowly melting the snow away, I make it to my favorite coffee joint, Coffee Bean. I open the door, which greets me with a warm gust of wind that thaws my cold nose, and chimes a beautiful bell.

"Hello!" A worker smiles at me and tips her hat.

I smile back and stand behind to look at the menu even though I come here often.

I step forward to the cash register and announce my order.

"Hi welcome to Coffee Bean what will you li-" the man serving me sutters as soon as he takes a glance up.

I peek behind me, confused as to why he stopped mid-sentence.

"-ke to order?" he continues in a slower and compassionate tone

"I would like a salted caramel with chocolate shavings, light whipped cream, and tiny ice chunks," I giggle at him and take out my wallet.

"That'll be $9.99."

I open my wallet and take out a ten dollar bill. I lightly set it down next to the cashier. I turn around and tuck my loose hairs behind my ear to find a seat.

"Ma'am." He clears his throat

"Hmm?" I turn around.

"Do you have a name we can put?" he asks.

"Ava." I turn back around, feeling his eyes burning through the 5 layers of clothes

I seat myself in one of the booths, scrolling on Tumblr and texting my friends occasionally.

"AVA!" a loud voice shouts. I get up from my booth and walk to the pick up.

I wrap my ice cold fingers around the warm cup and take it back to my seat. I sit down on the cushioned seats and take my very first sip.

The hot drink meeting with my tongue. Dancing around my mouth, but stinging to the heat. I take my first gulp and feel the warm drink travel down my throat and dispersing throughout my body. I shiver to the pleasure of the sweetness and enjoyment of my first sip.

I finish my coffee. All cold and too sweet for my liking.

I pick up the cup and turn around to throw it in the trash can. I go back to the booth to get my purse and leave, but a small paper is left on the table.

I unravel the folded tiny paper and notice that there is ink blotches. I make out the words, little by little:

Roses are red,

Violets are blue

Honey is sweet,

And so are you <3

I smile to the sweet poem someone wrote me. I turn my head towards the menu and take one last glance until I catch a person staring in my peripheral vision. My eyes fall to the person who it was and I see him immediately look down as soon as I make I contact.

I feel the corners of my mouths turn up and my heart racing. I squeeze the piece of paper and walk towards the man.

I plant my hands into the marble counter, making him forced to make eye contact.

"So are you going to tell me your name or will I just have to get your number?" I recite to him, earning a smile.

"Nice one," he chuckles writing his number down on a sticky note.

"The name's Brandon, but you can call me anytime." He winks at me and I roll my eyes.

I walk out of the coffee shop with a smile that no one can wipe off of my face. I squeeze the paper that Brandon gave to me again, feeling a wave of warmth hit me, I feel loved.

So I thought I would occasionally write short snippets of stories for you guys to take. If you want it please PM me and I'll follow you to see where the book will go! If you want, you can change the title bc i am not good at coming up with titles. It is up to you to change the characters to different names, or to Youtubers, but this is a thing that I am trying out. If you do use it PLEASE give me credit because it is my idea coming from my tiny noggin. Also don't try to steal it without my permission, that is straight up stupid.

If you guys think I should continue this please do tell me! I enjoy starting off stories for people who want to write, but don't know how to start :D
PEACE BIZNATCHES!.........K BYEBEYEBYE
