-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jo walks into the local cafe while her crush and his brother are doing some research back in the motel room. She's been stressing the entire walk over to the cafe because she doesn't know the drink the man she likes loves. She's been crushing on him for a few months, and she doesn't even know his drink order.

Thankfully, there is a line which gives Jo time to think about what she's going to give him. Her nervous energy is what makes you look up from the book you're reading. You're sitting in the corner away from everyone else because you hate big crowds. You'd rather stay in and read than be out in public with a bunch of people around you.

Jo fiddles with her fingers the closer she gets to the front, and you decide she'll be the person you help today. You put your book back into your bag and head over to her.

"Can't decide what to get someone?" you ask, startling her.

"How did you...?"

"Honey, I've been there one too many times. I've tried ordering for someone when I didn't know their preferences." you laugh. "Whoever he is, get him a caramel macchiato. It's sweet and sugary. My man really likes that stuff. He drinks it like it's water."

"How do you know it's for a man?"

"You wouldn't be acting this way for a woman, would you?"

"No, I guess not," she chuckles.

"I'm Y/N."

"Joanna but my friends call me Jo."

Jo's up next, so you let her order her drinks. The barista gives her a weird look but doesn't comment on why she's giving her that look. You and Jo move off to the side when she pays, and you two chat while she waits for the drinks to be ready.

"So, what do you do?" you ask.

"I own a bar with my mom. That's more of a side gig at the moment. I travel the country helping people who need it," Jo keeps it vague. "What about you?"

"I was kind of doing that before, but I'm really into helping others in the way a guidance counselor is."

"Oh, you work at a school?"

"Sure," you nod once. Jo wants to comment on your strange answer, but then she thinks about her crush and becomes nervous again. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm just about to meet up with the guy I really like. Him and his brother are doing some research for something they're working on. I just know nothing about him. I want to get to know him but he won't let me."

"What's his name?"

"Dean Winchester. He's super nice and funny, but he can be a hard ass that doesn't like to show his emotions half the time."

"Yeah, my husband is like that sometimes. It can be a bit of a pain and it can seem like you're putting in more work into the relationship than he is, but don't give up on him. It's so worth it in the end. I promise, he'll warm up to you when he's ready."

"He does the same job as me so I get to travel with him and his brother, but it seems like whenever I try to get close to him, all he does is push me away."

You're about to answer when one of the baristas calls Jo's name. She called her twice, but it's like Jo didn't hear her.

"Ma'am? Your drinks are ready."
