I completely forgot that Lyria_WR requested this, so let's get to it!!!!! Enjoy!!!
You hummed a sweet tune as you wiped down the tables of the local coffee shop you worked at. You kept the place spic and span, you took orders, made the drinks, and served them to the customers. You had no problem with anyone who came in grumpy. You were part of that population of people who can't be bothered before they had their coffee. Your job was perfect. Well, almost perfect. You often daydreamt of the day when a man would come and sweep you off your feet. A tall, blond haired man, with total authority of his own life. A man who knows what he wants, and will stop at nothing to make sure he gets it. A man who's the boss of his own company, and very successful. You let out a tired sigh. If only a man like that existed........
Towards the mid afternoon, you were finally getting to sit down, when a man in a suit, with long ebony hair walked in with another with blond hair, blue eyes, a white suit, and walked like he was in charge of the place. You jumped to your feet, and rushed to the counter, your eyes on the blond. Why can't you stop staring at him?!
"Hi! Welcome! What can I get started for you?!" You asked as politely as possible. The blond scanned the menu, as if deciding what he wants. The way his eyes darted across the menu made you look away from him.
"Sir, you've got a meeting soon. I'd advise you speed up the process." The well dressed man put a gloved hand up, and smirked.
"Calm down Tseng. They can wait. Now, tell the girl what you want." He said calmly. Tseng sighed, and gave you a smile.
"I'll have a large caramel latte, with an extra shot of espresso, add whipped cream to that, and then I'll take one of those ham and cheese sandwiches please." You wrote down the order, and put a fresh ham and cheese sandwich in the toaster oven to heat up.
"You got it! And for you, sir?" You directed you attention to the blond. He simply stared at you.
"It's hard to choose just one. What would you recommend?" You gave him a warm smile and pointed to (favorite coffee/tea/refresher).
"Oh! That would be it! It's to die for!" The man let out a hearty laugh.
"Excellent, I think I'll take just that. And everything is going to be for Shinra." You wrote that down, and nodded. You copied the order down on the payment screen, and told them the total. The blond took out a wallet with the Shinra company logo on the front, and pulled out a shiny gold card. After handing them the receipt, you smiled sweetly.
"Perfect! I'll call you when it's ready!" You got to work, preparing the order for them, making sure everything is perfect. When you were done, you slid the drinks and food their way.
"Thank you very much miss. Here." The blond took out a few hundred gill and slipped it into your apron, winking.
"Sir, i-" you called out to him, but soon realized he, and Tseng were gone. You didn't mind the tip, but it was more than you were used to! How does that man have so much money? When you got home, you decided to look up anything related to the Shinra name. Let's see.... Turks, company........ You backed away from your computer when you saw the same blond man in many articles and magazines! Does that mean.......? He's THE Rufus Shinra, the CEO of the largest company in the world! This man matches the one in your day dreams!
"Fuck...... I had no idea he was the boss of a major company....." You talked to yourself when you went to bed that night. The next morning, the moment you opened was the moment you saw him again. Rufus stood alone, a cup of coffee in his hand. He leaned against the counter, waiting for you to begin your shift.
"Hey, it's you. What are you doing here?" You tied your apron around your waist, and filling the atmosphere with grounds of coffee beans.
"Listen, I'm a very busy man, and everyone knows I get what I want. And I'll stop at nothing to make sure I get it. So, how about it? Can I get your number?" You blushed mad hard at his question.
"I know who you are. And, let me start by asking why you're here all alone? Where's that bodyguard of yours?" You took a wet rag, and wiped the counter.
"Playing hard to get, huh? Well, to answer your question, he had orders to wait for me at one of the shops nearby. I wanted to get to know you better, and hopefully keep you as my personal barista." You scoffed, and shook your head.
"I'm sorry, but I like my job here. Besides, how come a guy as rich, handsome, and successful as you want to get to know a girl like me? I'm just like everyone else." You shrugged.
"I like the way you make coffee. None of my assistants have ever come close to making what I want. But you.... You get it. Besides, I think you're really cute. I don't want your recipes, or secrets to getting the perfect cup of coffee. I want you in my life." You bit your lower lip. This man was really gonna work his pretty ass off to have you.
"Um, I.... I....." He took out a pen from his coat pocket, and grabbed your hand to open the palm to write down his number.
"Here's my number if you ever change your mind beautiful." He slowly let go and walked out after giving you one last glance. For the next few weeks, your job shut down to economic issues, and left you jobless. You sat on your porch one day, thinking about what Rufus had said. You pulled out your phone to text him, but decided to pay him a visit instead. When Tseng escorted you to Rufus's office, you were left to confront him. You knocked twice, and opened the door slightly. Rufus stood up from his chair, but stopped when you sniffled. You stared at the carpet, tears falling from your face.
"I lost my job........ And I know what you're thinking, and you're right. I'm sorry..... I thought my job was going to be around for awhile, but I guess you can say that's bullshit. If it's possible, I would like to work for you, giving you anything you need, as long as it's coffee related." You looked up to see Rufus holding your chin up.
"Then, if that's the case, then.... I would like a cup of love, with extra kindness and add a little sprinkle of loyalty." You laughed at his comment, and you were lost in his kiss.
"Oh Rufus......" You laid your head on his shoulder.
Sorry y'all, I love Starbucks, and I thought, why not make this one shot about being a barista? By the way, that ending😫😫😍😍😍😍 I hope you liked that, and stick around for a Vincent x reader!!!
