Is This Love?

2|| Are you okay?

Y/n POV

Recap

Hailee in a panic thinking she hurt the oddly adorable stranger after taking in a breath, she stays, "Are—" pausing for a moment, ''Are you okay?"

''Are you okay?''

"Erm yeah—yeah I think so," taking a second to sit up, I looked down to see the mess of cold coffee everywhere. "But uh, I don't think your latte is though,'' I remarked, smiling a little at the obvious observation.

The pretty brunette laughed and held her hand out for me to take. "Are you okay?" I asked, while taking her soft hand and helping myself up.

The girl grabbed a handful of napkins and basically pushed them at me as she nervously rambled on, fidgeting with her hands. "Shit I'm sorry. I got your shirt all...um coffee...y?''

"Oh you're good it was an old one it'll wash out. Happens more often than you'd think actually," I say as a take the napkins and try to dry the mess on my shirt.

"Here, take my blazer," the brunette said as she took it off.

I continued my losing battle of drying my shirt, "Oh no I'm good it's no problem really,"

"No I insist!" She held out her jacket for me to grab.

"I'm not taking your blazer," I shifted on my feet looking at the jacket, "It looks really nice and I honestly have a million of these shirts I've got one in the back here actua-"

She stopped my ramble of protests by shoving her jacket into my hands. "It's really not a problem. This thing is like, it cost like nothing. Please take it i feel bad for getting your shirt wet with coffee even if you have so many it still sucks. So, take it,"

I sighed sensing a stubbornness in her tone, ''Fine," I started and saw her face soften, losing the tension it had before, "BUT only if I can make you another coffee. Because right now it's on the floor and I don't think you want to drink floor coffee. Unless you do which is totally your choice but definitely a questionable one,"

A soft laugh comes from the brunette, "No floor coffee sounds gross, but I will take you up on the new coffee! Uh..." she paused and took a moment to look at my name tag "Y/n" she said with a smile.

I returned her smile with a nod and put the blazer on over my ruined work shirt. I walked to the counter with the girl on my trail to remake the coffee. She watched me from the other side and I could see her smiling as her eyes followed me in my periphery.

"Here you go, I hope you enjoy your day and sorry for ramming into the first coffee", I said, handing her the new coffee with a kind smile.

"Thank you! And I'm so sorry for spilling my coffee all over your clothes and the shop," She made her way to the door rambling an apology once again as I cleaned off the counter. She paused at the door, almost lingering or waiting for something else. I looked up from the counter and noticed her still standing there, hazel eyes watching me before quickly checking her watch.

"And uhm, thank you for the blazer uh—" I tilted my head in question for the girl's name.

"Its Hailee,'' she said as she looked back up at me.

"Well, thank you Hailee for the blazer,"

"No problem Y/n. I hope I bump into you again soon," Hailee said with a smile as she walked out of the, now, lonely Café onto the busy streets of early morning New York City.

At around 4pm, I decide its time to head out. I leave Sara and some new employees for the rest of the day and make my way home.

After about a 25 minute walk back to the apartment, I put in the security code and walk up the stairs with my keys, knowing that since Jen is at work the door will probably be locked. I sigh as I unlock the door and walk forward into my apartment. I take off my black combat boots and walk into the kitchen, tired looking for a quick snack.

"Who's jacket is that?"

"AhHhHh WHAT THE DUCKING DUCK ARE YOU DOING MY gOd". I held my chest as it felt like a power tool was trying to break through my rib cage, "Jesus I thought you were at work Jen!! What the hell!?"

"I took a personal day," she said with a shrug while sitting down. "Now who's blazer is that?'' She raised her eyebrows and pointed at the jacket around my shoulders with a smirk.

"Its— its just Sara's, I uh spilt coffee on me," I said, grabbing a banana and turning to her.

"Mhm yeah sure it is,'' She looked at me with the 'tell me now' eyes.

"Damn it FINE!" I took my banana and walked off into the small living room area with a happy Jen on my trail.

"Yay," Jen said as she jumped on the couch.

"There was a girl-"

"A GIRL? OH MY GOD FINALLY-"

"Jen I didn't even FINISH. AND NOT LIKE THAT. I mean she was pretty but that's not the point. ANYWAY. There was this girl that ran into in me in the café when I went to hand her the coffee," Jen nodded, "And she felt really bad so she gave me the blazer she was wearing. And I tried to say no but it was like turning away a wet dog,"

"Sooo she gave you the jacket and you definitely got her number and have date?"

"No! I didn't want the jacket in the first place. I remade her coffee and she left, so don't go thinking I have a new girlfriend Jen. I might never see that beautiful stranger again,"

Jen smirked, "Alright, you are free to go from my questioning Y/n,"

"Egh finally. I love you but I'm tired and going to take a nap," I got up and walked to my room.

"Yeah, yeah I will see you tomorrow," Jen said as I closed the door and flopped on the bed. I realized I was still in coffee covered clothes and hauled myself up to change. I put the ruined shirt in the hamper and looked at the jacket, now sitting on a chair at my desk, and wondered how I was ever getting it back to Hailee. But that made my brain hurt So I decided to walk back to the bed and close my eyes. "Maybe it'll come to me in a dream, or at work tomorrow,"
