The Stranger on the Train

Chapter 46: Holiday plans

A/n: I decided to make it a surprise when smut will happen, so no more warning and * because you all like to be surprised ;)

Pov y/n

Since I had to get up early, my alarm went off the next morning and with a groan I turned it off before looking over to the other person in my bed.
Scarlett seemed half asleep and half awake, which I can't blame her for. If I could, I would have stayed in bed longer as well but I couldn't.

We exchanged a few words, mainly saying we'll see each other later at the coffeeshop since she comes there every Wednesday. I gave her my keys, so she could lock up my apartment after leaving it. After a quick kiss on the cheek, I got ready and let her sleep a bit longer.

I can't help the smile on my face as I walk to work and get everything ready. Of course, Jesse notices my smile as well and scans me before smirking.

"You got laid." He states with a smirk and I shush him and feel my cheeks heating up.

"Would you mind not telling the whole city of New York?" I whisper. Not because I'm ashamed but not everyone needs to know. He bites his lip and grins but nods.

"How was it?" He whispers while helping me to stock up the shelfs beneath the counter. I glance around the shop before turning to him and grinning widely.

"It was amazing! And passionate and soft at the same time. It was just perfect." I say with a little sigh, my mind remembering last night. But before I get myself horny, I switch off that part of my brain.

"You surely glow after last night." Jesse observes and gives me a happy smile. I return it and we go back to work, changing the topic to something appropriate.

Around two hours later, Scarlett enters the shop and I chuckle to myself when I see that she's wearing one of my hoodies. She looks amazing in it and adorable at the same time. By the look in her eyes, she know exactly what's running through my mind and smiles happily.

Jesse goes on his round around the shop, seeing if any customer needs something while I wait behind the counter for Scarlett.
I only need to look into her eyes to know that she'll take her usual order and start preparing it.

She leans her hip against the counter and watches me. When I set down the cup in front of her, she puckers her lips and I roll my eyes playfully and give her a quick kiss.

"How are you, angel?" She asks while pulling out her purse to pay. Since no one is in line behind her, she takes her sweet time to be able to talk to me.

"I'm great." I answer and see something flickering in her eyes and a tiny smirk appears on her lips.

"Still able to walk?" She asks silently and I huff out a laugh.

"You think I can't take one round?" I ask back, keeping my voice low as well. Scar looks me in the eyes, a playful sparkle in them.

"Maybe I need to put more effort into it next time." She smirks and winks. I get a little flustered and put her money in the register.

"Touché." I reply and she grins before taking her coffee to her table.

Apparently she didn't go home before coming here because she doesn't have her laptop with her and just sips her coffee while looking out the window. For a few seconds I admire her side profile before going back to work.

Today is an unusually calm day and it's almost boring. We only have a few customers sitting inside and there aren't a lot coming in either.
Jesse and I are done with all our tasks for now and after a short talk, I make myself a coffee and join Scarlett at her table. She looks at me in mild surprise but also happy. I refilled her coffee a few minutes ago, so it's still full and I lean back in the chair a little.
