When in London

Movie Night

It's a regular day at the shop I take down orders and Marcus makes them. Marcus is 2 years older than me, born and raised in the U.K. and although he's a little uptight and overprotective i know that i can always trust him.

Today's not such a busy day which is good because i usually can let my mind wander. I stare at the clouds and watch the rain droplets slowly make its way down the glass window. I trace patterns on the countertop with my fingertips out of boredom. Finally a customer walks in.

"Hi, can I have a white chocolate mocha?"

"Yeah sure that's £3.50" I say while writing the order down

"You have a very interesting accent, where are you from?" He said while handing me a 5

"I'm from the U.S."

"Nice" saying this, he took the change from my hand and waited on the other side for his mocha

Wow he's dreamy! Those blue sparkling eyes made me feel like I was staring into the ocean. The way his smile kept getting bigger every time he finished a sentence. Was this what 'love at fist sight' feels like? While daydreaming about the customer I just fell in love with, I didn't realize the line kept building up, I quickly take their orders.

After I finished helping the rest of the customers, Marcus nudged me with his elbow, exhausted I look towards him. His light green eyes were filled with concern.

"Are you okay??" Sounding really worried

"Yeah I'm fine why?" I said unsure of what he was talking about

"Why were you zoning out earlier?"

I could feel my cheeks blushing but like I said before, I can always trust Marcus with anything. I pointed across the room at the guy from before, he was sitting at a table drinking his mocha by himself

"Do u see that guy right there?" I ask still pointing

Marcus seemed unimpressed "Yeah so? What about him??"

"Yeah well I think he's really cute! But never mind, forget it! it's not like I'll ever see him again"

And with that, the gorgeous customer finished his mocha and walked out the shop. And with him went my chance at meeting my soul mate.

As soon as my shift was over I run home. I completely forgot that today was Friday! Every Friday night Jenna comes over and we watch movies and order pizza but I completely forgot that we were doing that again tonight. I reach my apartment and quickly unlock the door and as soon as i walk in I see something quite odd.

"What are you doing in my apartment???" I said while taking off my coat and closing the door behind me

"Remember, it's movie night!!" She said still with her eyes on the tv, flickering through the channels

"Yeah but how did you get in?"

"Easy. You left your door open"

"Oh okay, well I guess that makes sense. So what do you want to watch?" I said while plopping on the couch beside her

She fluttered her eyes as she said "Something romantic!"

"Sure, you chose what movie while I put the popcorn in the microwave and call Pizza Hut"

*2 hours later*

Once the movie ended i looked at Jenna and she was already snoring like usual, she always ends up sleeping halfway through the movie. I had no idea what to do, I wasn't tired at all. I looked at the table and saw that there were still 3 pieces of pizza left, so I decided to take one. When I was almost done, my phone screen lit up, who would be texting me so late?? I check to see ....and no, was I hallucinating?? did my eyes deceive what was really going on? did he really just text me?? The name that was lit up on my phone screen spelt,

Austin.

P.S. there's a picture of marcus(:
