What it takes to be wanted

What it takes to be wanted - 1

So first story on here ever.  Um kinda nervous about the response because it's not like most on here.  Tell me what you think and feedback would be appreciated :)

"Lib, hey Lib.  Libby!"

"Huh?"  I startled back in surprise. 

"Could you make me a Tazo Chai tea latte?" My co worker Alex asked me with a preoccupied look on her face.  "I'm kind of tied up here at the register and Tanner has his hands full with his orders."

"Yeah sure." I replied.  I didn't even realize all of the people that started to line up as the day progressed towards lunchtime. 

Recently I was feeling tired all the time and not really knowing what I was doing with my life.  I mean come on senior year of high school right?  Best days of your life?  Yeah right.  I felt I was ready to crack under all of the pressure I was getting from my teachers.  The classic where do you want to go to college?  Have you applied for scholarships or financial aid?  What are you majoring in?

If I heard that one more time I would probably scream.  But of course I wouldn't because I knew too well that I didn't want to be sent to some insane program recommended by the guidance counselor.  Instead I just smile back and tell them some white lie. 

I stopped thinking about all of the worries for now and continued to work.  The barista position at Starbucks could be hectic at times but overall I am glad that it gave my hands something to do and it also pays money. 

I finished up with the tea almost absent minded and passed it to the man waiting, like a robot replying, "Venti Tazo Chai tea latte for Scott?  Have a nice day."

My shift ended in about an hour and after that I was going to go home and take a much needed nap. I just had to push through. 

My shift was almost over and I had two more orders to go.  Alex had written on the cup a Grande Mocha Frappuccino which I always find it funny when customers order my favorite drink.  I whizzed through making the drink and right as I'm ready to place it out and say the customer’s name a warm rough hand comes and snatches the drink away.

Shocked by the sudden grabbing I yelped, "Hey!" in surprise. 

I look up and I see one of the best looking guys I have ever seen.  He has dark brown to almost black hair that is straight yet curly at the same time.  He also had the unnaturally blue eyes that glared out at me.  He had this smirking frown on his face as he walked away back to his laptop.  I didn't even get to catch his name before he grabbed the drink away so fast. 

I sneaked a glance back to where he was sitting.  He has his head buried within his laptop busy focusing on some type of work. I decided to look away fast in case someone caught me staring.  I quickly rushed through making the Carmel macchiato.  I was going so fast I didn't even realize that I forgot to add the Carmel and I quickly rushed to get it.  It was slippery and it ended up falling all over my shirt and part of my apron.  Shit I thought.  This was one of my better shirts too. 

I swear I could hear a little snickering in the corner where the good looking guy was sitting.  Whatever I thought I just want to change out of this shirt. 

"Alex I'm done after this right?"

"Yeah." she responded "Kathy is coming in to take over."

Thank god I thought.  I’m ready to get out of here.  I quickly finished off the macchiato and gave it to the customer.  I then ripped off my apron and told Alex and Tanner I would see them tomorrow. 

I stepped out of the Starbucks and into the sun.  It felt kind of comforting as it warmed my skin.    I hopped in my car and started the engine.  As I pulled out I saw the good looking stranger's blue eyes staring straight at me.
