IM SORRY IM OTWYou rush out of your apartment, the door slamming shut behind you as you fumble to grab your bag. Your phone buzzes with another message—definitely from Mualani. You glance at it briefly as you dart down the stairs, skipping two at a time. "We're waiting downstairs!" the message reads. Your heart pounds, partly from the sprint and partly because you know Citlali is going to be super annoyed.
As you reach the lobby, there they are—Mualani, all smiles, Chasca quietly leaning against the wall, and Citlali standing with her arms crossed, a scowl on her face. "Finally!" Citlali groans, "Took you long enough." You grin sheepishly, catching your breath. "Sorry, sorry! Let's go to this amazing café already." The moment you step out of the building, Mualani hooks her arm through yours, her energy infectious. "Come on, it's just down the street! I've been dying to try their drinks."
Citlali walks slightly ahead, her steps brisk and impatient. "We better be getting something good after all this," she grumbles, shooting you a look that's part teasing, part annoyed. You catch up to her, nudging her playfully. "Relax, it'll be worth it!"
Chasca quietly trails beside you, her gaze wandering to the nearby shops and people passing by. You can tell she's enjoying the little walk despite her silence, taking in the ambiance of the town. As you walk down the street, the warm breeze tousling your hair, a tune pops into your head. Without thinking, you hum the melody of Espresso under your breath. "Now he's thinkin' 'bout me every night, oh..." You sing softly, feeling the playful energy in the air.
Mualani instantly catches on, her grin widening as she joins in, "Is it that sweet? I guess so."
You two share a look, already giggling before the next line. Mualani leans in, singing even softer, "Say you can't sleep, baby, I know... That's that me espresso."
Both of you burst into laughter, the sound of your giggles filling the summer air. Citlali rolls her eyes, letting out an exaggerated sigh. "You two are ridiculous," she mutters, though the small twitch of her lips gives her away. Chasca, always the quiet one, can't help but smile at the scene, and a soft chuckle escapes her. The playful teasing, the lighthearted laughter, it all blends perfectly with the warm, easygoing vibe of the day. With your hearts lighter, the four of you make your way to Estrella Espresso, humming the song as you go.
As you round the corner, the soft glow of the café's star-shaped lights comes into view. Estrella Espresso looks even cuter than the pictures Mualani showed you, tucked between boutiques and flower shops. The moment Citlali sees it, she tries to act nonchalant but fails to hide the small smile tugging at her lips.
"Admit it, Citlali, you're excited," Mualani teases.
"Not really," Citlali mutters, but the pink in her cheeks says otherwise. You giggle as you all walk toward the entrance. The adventure is just beginning.
˖°.₊˚☕⊹♡
As you step into Estrella Espresso with Mualani, Citlali, and Chasca, the warm glow of star-shaped lights gives the café a magical feel. The air is filled with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee and pastries, wrapping you in comfort.
"This place is adorable," Mualani remarks, looking around with a smile.
Citlali crosses her arms, trying to hide her approval. "It's... alright, I guess."
Mualani grins, nudging her. "Oh, come on, you like it."
Citlali blushes lightly, turning away. "Whatever."
As you approach the counter, your eyes land on the barista. His light tan skin glows faintly under the café's soft lights, and his messy blueish-black hair, streaked with green, falls across his face as he concentrates. His greenish-yellow eyes remain focused on his task, his expression cool and distant. Without even looking up, he greets you.
"Welcome to Estrella Espresso. What can I get you?" His voice is smooth, like the foam of the cappuccino he's crafting, a sharp contrast to his cold demeanor.
Citlali shifts beside you, muttering, "He's not that great," even as her eyes flicker back to him. Mualani chuckles, clearly enjoying her friend's reaction. Chasca stays quiet, observing everything with her usual calm, thoughtful gaze."I'll have a hot espresso," you say, your voice cutting through the soft sounds of the café.
Without missing a beat, he looks up from his work. The sunlight catches him at just the right angle, bathing his features in a soft, ethereal glow. His greenish-yellow eyes meet yours, and for a moment, time feels like it slows down. There's something captivating in his gaze, despite the coolness of his expression—like a distant star shining in the morning light. His eyes linger on you, just long enough for you to feel your heartbeat quicken, before he breaks the connection and turns back to the task at hand.
"Cappuccino for me!" Mualani chimes in brightly, unaware of the brief, charged moment.
Citlali steps forward with her usual unimpressed air, "Latte."
Chasca, quiet and steady, places her order next. "Cappuccino, please."The barista nods, his focus already shifting back to the drinks, his expression cold and unreadable once again. But the way the light had touched his face, the brief flicker of connection—it leaves you feeling like you've just witnessed something you can't quite explain.
"You sure you're alright?" Mualani whispers, nudging you gently.
You blink, pulling yourself back into reality. "Yeah, I'm good," you say, though you can't shake the feeling that something about this encounter was different.
After placing your orders, the four of you head over to a cozy round table by the window, the sunlight casting a warm glow across the surface. As you sit down, your mind is still racing from the brief moment with the barista.
Leaning in toward the girls, you whisper, "Omg, he look cute."
Mualani's eyes light up with amusement as she smirks at you. "Go get his number if you dare!" she challenges, nudging you under the table with her foot.
You feel your face heat up, glancing quickly toward the counter where he's focused on finishing the drinks. "I can't just ask for his number!" you protest, your voice hushed but flustered.
Citlali rolls her eyes, crossing her arms. "He's just a guy," she mutters, but the slight twitch of her lips betrays her usual nonchalance. Chasca remains quiet, but the small smile on her face tells you she's enjoying the teasing as much as anyone else.
Mualani leans in with a playful glint in her eyes. "Who knows? Maybe he'll slip his number on your coffee cup."
You laugh, the idea both thrilling and terrifying, but the spark of possibility stays with you as you wait for your drinks.Just as you're about to respond, the barista appears at your table, holding a tray with all your drinks. The soft clink of cups and saucers echoes as he gently places the tray on the table, his movements smooth and precise. Without a word, he begins setting each cup down in front of you and your friends, his cool gaze barely lifting from the task. A hot espresso for you, cappuccinos for Mualani and Chasca, and a latte for Citlali. His fingers brush against the saucer for the briefest second as he sets yours down, and then, just as silently as he arrived, he turns and walks back to the counter.
You take a breath, your eyes following him for a moment, but something catches your attention—a small piece of paper tucked discreetly between your cup and the saucer. Your heart skips a beat.
Mualani notices your sudden stillness and raises an eyebrow. "What is it?"
You hesitate, then slowly slide the paper out from under your cup. Could it really be...?
You stare at the note for a second longer before slipping it back in place, deciding to keep the moment to yourself. "I think I'll check this later... at home," you whisper, biting back a smile. "Too many eyes here."
Mualani smirks knowingly. "Ooooh, mysterious."
Citlali raises an eyebrow but doesn't comment, while Chasca nods in agreement, her quiet smile letting you know she's just as curious.
The girls share a look, and Mualani leans in with a grin. "Yeah, probably better that way. The suspense will be worth it."
