It's NOT a crush!

I'm head over heels <3

Hello there~

Here is part one of the special. I decided to post it right here and not as an extra story because it relates too much to the other chapters to be a separate story. But it's still a special because it's a different perspective than the main part.

I hope you like it as well. Enjoy reading <3

Special: Rome's smutty secrets – I'm head over heels <3 (Part One)

Rome's life was upside down the moment Pick visited the café for the first time.

He had ordered a coffee with an obvious bad mood and had settled at the counter while grunting at his smartphone. From the start Rome was fascinated by his handsome face and he insisted on starting a conversation. The guy had just responded with an impudent comment and swore a lot but Rome didn't gave up and continued to try cheering him up. When the handsome darted off, Rome thought about him the rest of the day. He had told Emma about their meeting with a dreamy voice and although it had been rather an unpleasant conversation than a sweet one, he only had good feelings about it. Emma had shaken her head in disbelief and pointed out, how bad his taste in men was.

When Mr. Handsome visited the café the next day Rom couldn't believe it. He felt his heart beaten fast, and high on feelings he had asked Good to cover all the early shifts from now on. He hadn't told him why, but Rome desperately wanted to see Mr. Handsome every day and he planned to became friends with him. Somehow.

Rome enjoyed seeing his attractive face and hearing his raspy voice. He managed to engage him more and more in conversations and slowly he opened a little and told Rome some facts about him. Rome found out that he was a medical student at his university and wanted to be a vet. Rome was fascinated by him. He appeared to be a rough and heartless guy but inside his deepest wish was to help vulnerable animals.

He was so sweet in Rome's eyes and he couldn't stop starring at his handsome face and his sharp eyes which seemed to piece right through Rome. His height was a plus too, Rome liked taller guys. Visually he hit his taste in men 100%. He lived in his head rent free and Rome wasn't tired dreaming about him. Even at work he couldn't resist and Good often had to remind him to continue his work. Rome blushed every time Good teared him out of his thoughts. He should probably stop fantasizing about him. At least at work.

He finally knew his name! Yes!

After forever in which Rome desperately tried to get to know his name without being too obvious, he finally succeeded. He had simply asked him, what seemed like no big deal but for Rome it was a big step. Mr. Handsome had been confused for a second but then had introduced himself.

Pick was his name. What a great name. Pick, P'Pick. Rome sighed pleased. He played with the name in his head, and he concluded that the name could be moaned perfectly. Very good.

Rome became bolder and drifted their conversations more and more into more serious topics. Sadly, Pick wasn't very chatty and Rome had trouble to get him to answer, but the effort paid off. Mostly Rome took over the talking and asking and convinced Pick to reply to him eventually. He kept his cold attitude on the outside, but Rome noticed slight changes in his responses and actions. Rome was very proud of that. But at the same time Pick didn't seemed to enjoy their talking. He always pulled faces and it was very hard to get a serious answer out of him. Rome tried to stay optimistic, but it bugged him.

He gained more confidence through the time, and he started flirting more open. He made several passes towards Pick, but his reactions were too reserved and unclear, it bothered Rome.
