Hold The Foam

"Next?" The barista called out to the line.
"That would be me!" she said, shuffling her way up to the counter. "I would like a chai latte with extra cinnamon, but could you hold the foam?" she said, smiling and pulling out her credit card. "Of course, your total is 9.05" the barista said, ringing up her order and reaching for her card. The barista hands the card back and off she walks walks off.

The barista calls for the next person in line, and finally, I'm at the counter. "Hello, can i get a chai latte but can you hold the foam?" I said, grabbing a $10 dollar bill from my wallet. "Alright, your total will be—" the barista started to say. "9.05" I said, handing her the $10, "Keep the change". I walked over to wait for my drink and there she was again .. my Cherry Blossom .. and she was even prettier up close. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. The way her facial expressions shifted as she read each line. The slight movements of her hair as she tucked a strand behind her ear. She was perfect.

She had been reading her book when she heard the recent interaction between the barista and the customer. Had he just ordered the same drink as her? She looked up from the book and to her surprise, a pair of hazel-brown eyes were looking directly at hers. How long had he been standing there and was he going to say something? "You obsessed with me or something?" she said to the guy, as she got up walked over, trying to get a read on him. "Only if you want me to be," he said, smiling. She laughed and began to speak, but a loud "Orders for Leo and Angelica!" was uttered by the barista. They both walk over and grab their drinks. "So, you're Leo, huh?" Angelica said. "Yep, and so YOU must be Angelica", Leo said. "So Leo, will I see you again?" Angelica said, smiling at him. "Only time can tell" Leo said as he walked out the shop. "Wait!" Angelica yelled, trying to catch him before he left, but he had already gone.
