Starbucks.

The third destination for Adam, Aria, Ashley, and Lavender's day out. It's a Saturday, which is a day they had dedicated for their small friend group to hang out wherever they want - in each other's houses or exploring around the city.

The four sat on a four-seat table, their chatters blending in well with the café's bustlings. Laughter emerges in their spot as they gossiped about this new boy that Ashley seemed to have taken an interest on. Lavender pouting here and there, her being the group's hopeless romantic.

"You'll find yours, soon," Adam snorts. Yet no words of affirmation coming from them did she believe, and she just sighed thinking it was her fate to be forever lonely.

"We're in the same situation, Lav. Wait, no. You, me, and Adam. Ashley is the only one having heart eyes towards someone right now." Aria flashes a sarcastic grimace towards the said lover girl, to which she scoffs and stuck her tounge out in response.

"It's not my fault! Kurt is handsome as hell," Ashley defended herself.

"He is, I will admit. That guy has looks," the only guy nods his head in agreement.

Ashley smiles widely. "I know right."

The conversation continues, having momentary bickerings every once in a while. The four were all laughing, having fun lightheartedly teasing Lavender about being the only one whose name doesn't start with the letter a. The three jokingly made a unit name for themselves as The Aces, the excluded rolling her eyes and putting her attention elsewhere, obviously so done with her friends.

The smile on Lavender's face suddenly faded as she looked somewhere, the aces quickly picking up with the sudden frown on her face, and all immediately got struck with guilt and apologized, thinking that their friend has taken the joke too seriously or they took it a little too far.

But that wasn't the reason why she suddenly stopped smiling.

It was because of a mere barista, who she noticed is momentarily sneaking glances at their table. Or rather, someone in their table. She has a bad eyesight, thus why she is frowning right now; she is trying to get a better view of the barista clearly looking at them, as she didn't want to assume too much.

He could be looking anywhere else past us.

But he did it again. He looked, and this time, the girl saw it. Her eyes averted towards what or who the stranger's eyes landed on, and she pursed her lips to stop herself from smiling or smirking.

Ignoring her friends' bickering which she have absolutely no idea about - they are arguing about who even brought up the our names start with a except Lavender topic.

She pulls out her phone and decided to tell them in the groupchat, as she didn't want to look like they are gossiping about the barista; she knows her friends will be returning looks at him, and she didn't want to make anything obvious.

BITCH MF I TOLD YOU NOT TO LOOK

Curious and confused about his friend's message, he looked up, his eyes averting towards the busy counter where the employees hurriedly bustled, taking orders and preparing coffees. He noticed something peculiar among the staffs, and it happened. His gaze connecting with warm brown ones. The purple-haired barista Lavender must be talking about.

He notices the way the stranger suddenly stiffened on his position for a brief second, before pulling away from the millisecond lasting eye-contact. Adam blushes profusely, knowing he might have caught the good-looking guy's attention.

Instantly, he was intrigued.

Instantly, he wondered,

"Blonde Caramel Brulée Latte for Lav, Strawberry Crème Frappuccino for Ashley, Iced Caramel Macchiato for Aria, and Cookies and Cream Macchiato for Adam!" Their names with their orders rang through the speakers, and all of them looked at each other.

Well, more like the three girls looking at Adam, the stares they gave said he should go and get the beverages. He shook his head vigorously, but after being pushed out of his seat, he had no choice but to walk over there.

And just perfect, it was the purple-hair who was serving their drinks. Hesitantly, he reached for the iced drinks, muttering an awkward and quiet "Thank you" towards the cute barista. The stranger smiles softly at him, "My– our pleasure. Enjoy your drinks."

Shit, that smile...

He cleared his throat, trying to calm his rapidly palpitating heart in his chest. As he was about to turn around, his eyes landed on the name tag on the guy's uniform. And just then, his question was answered,

His name is Justin.
