Butterflies ||a.i

part 3

When I got home that night I ate dinner that consisted of the last bit of cereal in my pantry and gushers. i'm an adult and i have adult meals while i watch a murder show don't judge me. The whole night my head was everywhere i kept thinking about how he looked at me the way he talked and walked i don't know why he had such an effect on me considering i could just never see him again.
*next day*
I pulled up to work like normal just a little earlier because I was opening. I walked in and locked the door behind me so no one would walk in before i was ready. Also no one walks in and kills me or something you know ether or. I was putting out pastry's, getting the milk, refilling cups then my alarm to actually open went off. the other two people opening with me showed up then my friend josh and a newer worker Alice. We all made our morning coffees and divided the work up.
"okay josh you wanna do drive through then we can switch around 12?" i asked
he sighed dramatically "yeah fine but you get it until we're off" i laughed at him
"yeah okay whatever" i turned to alice
"so alice you wanna help me go between making and register?" i asked
"yeah sounds good" she walked to the espresso machine as a couple people came up to the register.
*time skip 11:30*
"order for jenn!" i called out as they walked up to grab their drink
"have a good day" i said and they smiled and walked away. There were a couple people doing work on their computers in the lobby but no line now at the register. As soon as i took a breath the door opened and i sighed putting my head down as Alice greeted them.
"ceil? someone is here for you. " alice said from the register. I walked up to the register and looked up at the person there he was i immediately got butterflies "hi ceil hope you don't mind me asking for you personally." he said with a smile. He looked even better today i didn't think that was possible
"not a problem ashton how can i help you?" i tried to sound like i was unbothered by him being there to play it cool of course.
he looked in my eyes for a second like he was reading me "hm i'm not sure today got any recommendations for anything with caramel in it?" is he making me talk to him longer? i liked at him for a second
"well what you got yesterday was caramel. if your looking for something sweet we have a caramel frappe though!" he studied me again i don't know what he's looking for
"mm what did i get yesterday" he asked i think he was playing dumb but i wasn't completely sure.
"carmel soy latte." i responded
"wow you remembered that's impressive." he smirked
knowing this was going on to long i asked him
"how about a real dealers choice i pick a drink and some food for you and hopefully you like it" i didn't want to stop talking to him but josh was definitely starting to stare
"trying to get rid of me so fast?" he asked me and my face got red he must think this is hilarious
he started again "full dealers choice sounds good" he said
"awesome $10 even" i said quickly. He paid with his card and put it back in his wallet i went to go start making his things because luckily no line formed but not before he called back at me
"thank you ceil" everyone looked up from there computers for a moment. Awesome so he is trying to embarrass me. I ended up making him an iced caramel macchiato and getting him a tiger cake pop on the wrapper i wrote "if i get in trouble it's on you -ceil" with my number written under my name
"order for ashton!" i called out. He walked up to me and i handed him the coffee and as i handed him the bag our hands touched for the slightest of moments as we had full eye contact. This is some high school like bullshit. He looked down at the bag and chuckled.
"have a good day ashton" i said still trying to play it cool
"i will now" he said his face had a slight blush to it i'm glad i'm not the only one he turned and i watched him walk out.
"hey" i turned to look at josh still almost in a daze after that as he started again and walked over to me putting the headset in my hand
"your turn loser" i put it on and jokingly imitated him as i walked to the window.
"hey you better watch it" he said typing his code into the register.
*6:00*
i looked at the clock it was finally time to close i haven't gotten the chance to look at my phone yet and i still had stuff to do for closing. Josh stayed back to help me Alice had to get somewhere.
Josh and I were wiping things down putting things away after an hour everything was clean and ready for the next openers. Josh said bye and left i got my things and looked at my phone
*one new message*
unknown: "hopefully i didn't get you in to much trouble😌"
Me: "i got lucky this time thanks" i responded smiling down at my phone
Ashton☕️: "i was wondering if it's not to late if we could hangout? drinks or dinner maybe??"
i looked down at that message for a second i got those same butterflies in my stomach
Me: "drinks sound great it's been a long day lol"
Ashton☕️: "how about 8:30-9ish give you some time to get home?"
Me: "that's perfect i also wouldn't be opposed to food at some point btw"
Ashton☕️: "i definitely agree been at practice all day 🙄 send me ur address get home safe!"
I rushed out locking the door behind me while still trying to drive without flipping my shit possibly the cutest guy i've ever seen asked me for drinks. Shit i didn't ask him where we were going i hope it's no where fancy i have nothing like that.
