It's been about a month or so since you moved to Hurricane, luckily you were able to just transfer to a new location for work. Your alarm when off at 4:30am to wake you up for you shift at Starbucks. You groaned and got out of bed, getting ready for the day ahead of you. Before you left your apartment and made sure you had the store keys and your apron, leaving soon after. You pulled up to the Starbucks and got out, locking the door to the car and stepping inside, locking the door behind you. You were about 10 minutes early still and your coworkers wouldn't be there till 5. You put on some music and stocked some things up before the others arrive.

You heard a knock on the glass door, causing you to look up. It was your coworker Kat. You unlocked the door letting her in.

"Ugh I don't wanna be here" she said with a sigh. You chuckled a little and locked the door behind her since you had another 30 minutes before you opened.

Kat wasn't very tall, maybe 4'9" on a good day. Her hair went down to her collar bones and it was yellow with a chunk in the front dyed black, a couple tattoos and piercing scattered around. She was nice, she was the one to set up your partner numbers and what not when you transferred.

Time passes as you both get the store ready to open, unlocking the door for the last time during your shift. You were usually on bar but you decided to be on the register today.  Your shift when pretty normal, the regulars came in like they did every day. Nothing was different. You heard the bell on the door chime and you looked up to greet whoever just walked in.

He was tall, if you had to guess he was at least 6'2". He walked up to the counter and looked at you for a moment, then looked up to see what kind of coffee you had brewed at the moment.

"What can I get you?" You looked up at him, nervously, but why? He's no different then anyone else who comes in here. He adjusted his tie a little before looking back down at you.

"Just a venti black coffee dear" was he British? Sure sounded like it. You nod and look back up at him after typing in his order.

"And what the name for the order?" You asked, trying to avoid eye contact.

"William" he said with a smile that made you stomach do a cartwheel. You nod again and send it through.

"Hey Kat? I'm going on my 10" you looked at her as she was making his drink for him. She just nods at you and continues what she was doing. You take off your apron and put on your jacket, stepping outside for a cigarette.

You sat on the curb, taking long drags as you try to calm yourself down. Why did he make you nervous? Was it the accent? Maybe it was because he was just attractive? The grey streaks in his hair brought out his cold eyes but that smile seemed warm. You finished your cigarette and lit another one. Looking at your shoes, you heard the door open. Paying no mind to it, you looked up at the sunrise, taking in its beautiful colors.

"It's pretty, isn't it dear?" You heard that English accent again, you looked in the direction the voice came from just to see William sat in the chair next to you, lighting a cigarette of his own"

"Yeah it is" you say just above a whisper, your heart thumbing out of your chest. He looks at you and smiles.

"Are you always so quite? He says, leaning forward to get a better view of you. You felt your face heat up. Just as you opened your mouth to say something your timer when off, signaling that your break was over. Putting out your cigarette, you stood up and walked up to the door.

"I'd love to sit and chat but I've gotta get back to work" he simply nods at you as you said this.

"It was lovely meeting you"  he says taking a sip of his coffee, looking back at the sky.

You rushed inside, face still flushed. Putting back on your apron you walked up to Kat.

"Hey I know you wanted to bar today but do you think we could trade?" She lets out a laugh when she saw your face.

"He makes you nervous, doesn't he?" She said, placing a hand on your shoulder. You just sigh and nod.

"I get it, he's fucking HOT" she chuckles and walks to the register so you can have the bar.

Time flies by relatively quickly and before you knew it, your shift was over. Once you clocked out Kat practically skipped up to you.

"Hey y/n! Wanna go get lunch? It's on me." You accepted, knowing you haven't eating today and why would you pass up free food.

"Wanna try Fredbears family diner?" She asked walking up to her car.

"Yeah sure, why not." You said getting in, it wasn't to far away but Kat still but on music for the two of you to listen to.

Coming to a stop in the parking lot, you both got out and walked up to the door.

"Ladies first." She said, chucking as she held to door open for you. You laugh as a thank you and walked inside.

"How many?" The hostess asked, look at you both.

"Just two." You said calmly. The hostess nods, grabbing some menus and walking you both to your table.

"Someone will be with your shortly." She said, playing the menus down in front of you. You and Kat sit looking at the menu for a little it trying to figure out what to get. Eventually you decide to split a (pizza or your choice). Kat had a stupid grin on her face like she was planning something but you had no idea what it was.

"Lovely seeing you both here, what can I get you?" There it was again, what same English voice you heard this morning. You felt a lump form in your throat, finding yourself unable to speak. Kat chuckled and looked up at William with that same shit eating grin she had on earlier.

"Just two waters and a (pizza of choice)" he nods writing down your order and walking to the back. Kat let's out a laugh looking at your red face.

"You bitch" you say with a sigh. "Did you know that he works here?" You asked with a shaking voice.

"Of course I did. He's my dad's friend, ya know? He co-owns this place with him." She said with a chuckle, nudging you.

"He's single by the way" she says, fixing her hair as William comes back with the water.

"Who is?" He says, tilting his head a little and he places the cups down in front of you both. Your face burning hotter by the second.

"Oh no one, Will. Just some guy she has a thing for."  Kat says looking at him with a smile. His smile seemed to fade a little at that, but it quickly returns when he looks back at you.

"Well any guy would be lucky to have someone as pretty as you" he says, his voice is so smooth it makes you feel like jelly.

"T-thank you" you stutter out, looking down at your hands. You felt him lightly pat your back.

"You're food will be here shortly" he said with a smile, eyeing you before he walks away.

"God I hate you so much" you said, looking back at Kat you just laughed at you.

"Oh come on! You know you love me. And have you not seen how he looks at you? There's no way he's not into you" you sigh, calming down a bit. Once your food got there, you both ate and talked about whatever. When it came time to pay the bill, William walked out and placed a piece of paper in the table in front of you before speaking up.

"Henry had it comped for you both" he said with a smile, leaning close to your ear before he walked away.

"Don't let Kat see that" he whispers, walking off somewhere in the diner. You quickly put the paper in your pockets before she noticed. Getting back into the car, she turned the music back on dropping you back off at your car. You thanked her for lunch and made you drive home. Unlocking your door and kicking your shoes off, you walked into you room. Plopping down on you bed, you pulled out the paper and looked over it.

' If you need anything, don't hesitate to call or text me, love. (XXX)XXX-XXXX
                  -William'
