After your encounter with the cute boy who's name you now knew was karl, work seemed blank, and boring. every time a customer walked through the door, you looked straight up to see if he was coming back- you knew it was stupid, of course you knew that. the chance of him coming back was insanely small- why would he come back? for the coffee? of course not. he was gone, and you had to let him go.

you just couldn't.

his little smile was stuck in your brain. you felt bad for your roommate, being berated with constant talking about nothing but this boy. she recommended you googled him, but you knew you wouldn't find anything- plus it just felt weird to google a total stranger, even if he was cute. the main downside to this situation, though, was work. everything felt so boring, so empty. your bus rides home had become insanely relieving, like a pat on the back saying 'good job, you got through minimum wage hell'. If it hadn't already, life felt like a cycle. get up, think about karl and how you'll never see him again, make a quick breakfast while thinking about what breakfast karl had today, then walk to the bus stop thinking about fucking karl and his cute smile, hop on the bus thinking about what he would order if he came in again, walk to work, and sit around all day because guess what, he didn't come in and you got your hopes up.

sitting on the floor of the café, wishing he would just walk through the door, so your day could be made a little better. as you scrolled through instagram, you got a message from deb.

smiling sadly at her words of encouragement, you quickly typed back a response before shutting off your phone and placing it inside your pocket before taking a big sigh.
