Coffee dates and COTA

Naomis POV

Walking down the street, I step over crackling leaves, signs of the coming Autumn. Music played in my ears completing the scene, distracting me from the constant stream of worries that occupy my mind. I do this everyday, walk to the same coffee shop on the same corner and order the same thing, and today will be no different. I crave something new, some adventure that will take me away from my mundane life that's been the same since I moved to America two years ago. The door opens, bell chiming above my head announcing my arrival. I grab my coffee and sit at the only open table, the empty chair infront of me a painful reminder of my current loneliness. I shake my head, snapping myself out of that thought and put my headphones back on, The Smiths playing softly in my ears. I open my tote bag and pull out my copy of Icebreaker, running my fingers along the tattered spine, creased from use. I begin reading, the minutes fading or perhaps hours, I was no longer sure which. Suddenly, a voice clears infront of me attracting my attention. I look up, my hazel orbs meeting green.
"Sorry, is this chair free"
My orbs gaze upon his face. He was handsome I guess.
"yeah sure" I respond
"oh, you're not American?"  the mystery man questions, his eyes scanning my form.
"I'm from England, I moved here 3 years ago. why are you here?" I ask, curious about the strange man I'd just met.
" I'm here for the formula 1 race" he replies, as if it was obvious.
"Oh, are you a fan?"
"I guess you could say that"
He chuckles to himself and I'm unsure why.
He sits down infront of me, placing his coffee on the table but his eyes not leaving me.
"A black coffee drinker huh?" He asks, seemingly surprised.
"Yeah, it keeps me awake. And I hate those pumpkin spice lattes, they're not real coffee."
"a woman after my own heart, I like that"
My cheeks flush and he smirks, clearly liking my reaction to his flirty comment.
"where are you from? I'm guessing you're not American based on the accent"
"I'm from Monaco, I've lived there my whole life" He replied, the French accent coating his words.
"Woah, and you came all this way to watch an F1 race?"
