"Ooh, look 'Nej," Nina nudged Inej. "Mr Tall Dark and Handsome with a bad haircut is back. Don't worry though, my type is Big, Dumb and Blonde." she proceeded to bat her eyes at Matthias Helvar, who blushed furiously, then spilled his chamomile tea. 

Inej rolled her eyes "Nina what exactly do you think might happen in the 1.5 minutes I talk to him?"

"Well for starters," Nina responded. "Metaphors."

Inej blinked at her "is that a code word for something?"

Nina simply shrugged. "Well, if you don't get it... second, staring. Like, eyes-bugging-out-of-head level staring, ya get me?"

Inej laughed "so when he asks for the exact same order he does every single day metaphors and staring  will happen? Also he does not stare at me"

Nikolai popped his head up from decorating cupcakes, which they did not sell at the coffee shop . "Yas he does girl."

Nina grinned at Nikolai "see wise words from Nikolai Lantsov am I right Zoya?"

"Well" Zoya said, coming out of the kitchen "I'm not agreeing with Nikolai but you do have a very intense staring into each other's eyes every time he comes."

 "Excuuuuuuuse me!!" Kaz rang the little bell furiously. "I came here for service."

The Darkling asked, "How much of that did you hear?"

"I SHIP IT!" screamed Alina from everywhere.

Inej sighed and went up to the counter "one black coffee to go like usual? Oh and sorry about everyone they're very nosy." She gestured to Nikolai and Nina who were casually eavesdropping.

"Yes," Kaz said with a sharp nod.

As Inej called out his order a few minutes later, Alina giggled maliciously, and a bad feeling settled into her stomach. 

Inej took the coffee from Alina and handed it to Kaz who payed her and left.

Inej turned to Alina. "Ali, what did you do?"

Alina giggled nervously "look it was just a message Nikolai and Aleksender dared me to do it."

Inej nervously peered out the window, where Kaz had opened the lid to mix it when he took a sip and spit it out. His face was red.

Kaz pov

Kaz walked into the coffee shop to see get coffee and see Inej cough cough. But when he came in he heard when of the other baristas commenting "very intense staring into each other's eyes every time he comes." He hoped it wasn't what he thought is was

Inej came up to the counter with a sigh "one black coffee to go like usual? Oh and sorry about everyone they're very nosy." She gestured to a handsome blond boy who was decorating cupcakes and a smirking girl washing plates.

"Yes," he responded, though he wasn't sure if he was saying it to the coffee or nosiness. A few minutes later Inej handed him his coffee and he left. But when he opened it to stir it around and took a sip but spat it out when he saw  handwriting on the bottom side of the lid. ********** ;) ;) thought you might need this.

Kaz spat out his coffee in shock, realizing who's number it probably was. He looked back into the coffee shop and saw Inej staring right at him, which made him turn redder.

Inej pov

She whirled to Nikolai "what did you put on there?!" 

Nikolai put his hands up "chill out Nej we just put your phone number on there."

"What!" Shouted Inej she turned to face the window where Kaz was staring at her pale face red.  She facepalmed "ugh Nikolai this is going to make everything super awkward now. Also what if he texts me?" 

Nina grinned at her "if he texts I want screenshots" 

The blonde boy with the chamomile tea raised his hand nervously. "Ex- excuse me," he said in a heavy accent. "But -- and I just learned this --if someone texts you, you should text back."

Inej turned to him frustrated "no one asked Matthias!" She muttered.

Just then she got a text.

"Text back!" Matthias exclaimed.
