Short Stories of Short Ideas

++1++Songs bring people together.

I open the coffee shop's door and make my way through the small room as the bell chimes behind me. Making my way to the counter I hum "Ruby" by Twenty One Pilots, nodding my head to the beat.            I probably look like a chicken. Oops, I still don't care.

I place my hand on the cold marble counter and look at the large menu. "Hi, can I get, um...pineapple green ice tea please. Thanks." I say looking down at the barrista who gives a short nod and turns to the large machine behind him. I begin tapping the counter and sing quietly to myself.

"Ruby I hope I see you, I've waited all this week
for you to walk my way, your soul will capture me
your momma painted your room a shade of pink, she said
but with your great arrival that shade has turned to red.

Ruby take my hand, please lead me to the promised land
tell me, where am I from, your eyes say, "shada de da dum."
Ruby, you're royalty, in your home land, they all call you "queen"
tell me, where are you from, your eyes say,
""shada de da dum.""

I look up to see the baristas ears and neck turning bright red and chuckle. His voice was a little rough and gritty but it gave me goose bumps for as long as it lasted.

"A clique member?" I ask quietly for to the counter that him. He gives a quick shake of his head. "Nope, they're too troublesome. I'm just a fan" his voice made my knees weak. God I needed  to hear his voice more.

"Um... so what's you're favourite song?"I continued to question. If possible his ears became redder and his voice seemed rougher, sexier than before.

"I'd say Air Catcher  is pretty nice but... I-I really like their cover of cant help falling in love " he stuttered adorably "pretty lame, right? I'm such a huge guy and I'm so mushy with my tastes"

After saying that I realised how tall he really was standing well over 6'3", with broad shoulders, a well build physic and a lumber jack aesthetic.
Casually saying: I drooled.

Compared to him I was tiny. 5'7" with a skinny frame that caused most of my clothes to hang loosely on my body.

I bit my bottom lip and glanced around the empty shop before my eyes fell on the baristas back, staring blankly.

"Wise men say only fools rush in"  I quietly sung causing the barista to freeze for a second.

"But I can't help falling in love with you"  I continue singing slowly raising my volumn.

"Shall I stay? Would it be a sin if I can't help falling in love with you?" gaining confidence as fast as the red was brightening on the baristas neck. Rest my arms on the counter, I hang my upper body over it and continue looking up at the barista.

I go through the chorus and smile more and more at his reaction, which is extremely cute. As I take a breathe to start into verse 2 the barista interrupts me and begins singing himself.

"take my hand, take my whole life too" His voice sends shivers down my spine. I swear I could listen to it on repeat all day forever.

"Cause I can't help falling in love with you" we finish together. He takes a deep breath and turn around to face me, my tea in his hand. I chuckle at his adorable blush and slide my pay on the counter. I take the cup from his hand and feel his warmth where our hand make contact. I take my eyes away from his to scan my cup and frown playfully looking back up into his eyes.

"I think you forgot something very important" I mumble with a small smirk.

"Huh?" He answers confused cocking his head to the side. Adorable.

"Your name and phone number" I continue, biting my bottom lip. He blushes making me want to kiss him. His face up closes is handsomer than anyone else's. His thick lips and his short beard and messy 'man bun' look beatiful but what stands out most for me is his bright green eyes. The green is captivating, making me feel like I was loosing myself in a forrest, and I loved every second.

"A-actually I was just finishing my shift... and I was wondering if you'd like to go on a- a walk or something?" He says shyly, looking at the counter but quickly bringing his head back up to meet my eyes "of course you don't need to, you probably have somewhere you need to go. I'm sorry if I was pushy I didn't mean it" he says quickly, stumbling over his own words. I chuckle and then smile at him brightly.

"I'd love to go on a walk with you" my words cause him to blush for what seems to be the millionth time within the past ten minutes, and let out a breath of relief.  He puts my money in the counter then takes off his apron and grabs his backpack from the staffroom as another barista shows up ringing the bell above the door.

He nodded to me to show that we can go and as he opened the door he mumbled something under his breath.

"Pardon?" I said not hearing him previously.

"Jack. My name is Jack" He answers smiling down at me timidly. I giggle and walk onto the street.

"Nice to meet you Jack. My name's Adam"
