"Ted says he will be late."

Noah turned to look at his coworker, Cooper was leaning on the counter looking at his phone, probably at Ted's text message.

"When is he ever on time ?" answered Noah in a playful tone.
Luckily Tuesday mornings were usually pretty slow and the shop was empty.

Cooper laughed slightly, sliding his phone back in his pocket when the door's bell rang, announcing a new customer. The guy seemed around their age, he was tall, had brown hair and he was cute, very cute. The stranger walked over to the counter.

"Hi" he greeted them.

"Hi welcome to Barry's what can I get you ?" said Cooper in his most polite customer service tone. Usually Noah would have laughed at his attempts to be formal, but today that wasn't even remotely on his mind. His eyes seemed glued on the unknown man.

"Noah !" Cooper called again slightly louder.

Noah's cheeks immediately went red realising that he had completely zoned out and had probably been caught starring at a customer.

"Sorry what ?" he asked.

"Coffee, black, with sugar, size classic." Cooper repeated the order.

"Coming right up" he muttered embarrassed.

From the corner of his eye he noticed the man smiling at him, he seemed amused. That reassured Noah a little, at least he didn't made him feel completely uncomfortable. He quickly made the coffee and handed it to him. His skin tingled where his hand brushed again the other's. The man thanked him, smiling, and left the shop. Noah turned to Cooper.

"i think i'm in love"

"Yeah no shit" cooper laughed "could you have starred any harder ?" 

Noah's cheeks flushed again. Before he could answer the door opened again and Ted rushed in.

"Oh my god I am so sorry I overslept !" 

"No problem dude, you just missed something crazy though." said Cooper after Ted finished putting his stuff in the back.

"What ?" 

"Noah's future husband." smiled Cooper while Noah buried his head his arms, groaning.

"is that why he's smiling like a fifteen years old ?" Ted laughed, quickly joined by Cooper.

After that day the mysterious man came in every morning on week days and ordered the same thing : black coffee with a bit of sugar, regular size. And the more Noah saw him the more he wanted to see him more, to know more about him...

A few weeks after Noah was taking the orders on a saturday afternoon, the shop was crowed and Noah almost didn't notice the man walking in. He greeted Noah with a smile.

"Hi ! What can i get you today ?" asked Noah, smiling back. 

"Can i get the usual please, on-site."

"Alright, that'll be 3,50$, can i a name for the order ?" 

"Schlatt." said the man while getting his wallet out. 

"Schlatt ?" repeated Noah frowning slightly. "How do you spell that ?" 

Schlatt chuckled.
"S-C-H-L-A-T-T" 

"Well that's unusual" laughed Noah, writting it down. 

"I know" he laughed too.
