I run into the coffee shop throwing on my apron and hat. I sigh looking at the clock this is my third time being late this week. One more time I'm fired.
Luckily my boss wasn't here when I came in so I'm safe for now. I grab my notebook out of my back-pack and start doodling when the bell above the door rings. I look up and see a boy with brownish hair and hazel eyes walk in. I'd be lying if I said he wasn't attractive.
He walks up to the counter and smirks at me as I put my notebook away. "Hi, welcome to Charlie's Coffee. What can I get for you?" I ask the boy who still has a smirk plastered on his face. "How about..... you?" He says looking at me. I look at him unamused with his attempt to flirt with me. "Sorry we don't sell that." I say sarcastically. "Now what can I get you to DRINK?" I ask the boy. "Caramel frappe. Hold the cream." He says still looking at me in a flirtatious way. (I don't drink coffee so I have no idea if that's a real drink.😂)
"Can I get a name for that?" I ask writing his order down on the cup. "Grayson." He says. This time with an actual genuine smile. A wonderful smile might I add. I blush while writing
his name down. "Mind finding room to put your number on there?" He asks with yet another smirk. I sigh and set the cup down. "No thank you." I say giving him a sarcastic smile. He just winks in return. I make the drink and give it to him. "Thank you gorgeous." He says. Butterflies exploded in my stomach when he called me that. "That will be $4.15" I say anxious for this boy to leave me alone. He hands me the money and leaves mumbling something I couldn't hear under his breathe.
The next day
I walk into work on time today And put on my apron grabbing my notebook and doodling in it. I hear the bell to the door ring but I don't look up. I suddenly feel a shadow above me so I start to look up. I see Grayson shyly smiling with a single rose in his hand. "Hi." He mumbles.
I push my notebook away and start to stand up. "Same as yesterday?" I ask him trying my hardest to be polite. "Um......yes please" he says in a small voice. This is not the Grayson I met yesterday. I actually kinda like this Grayson. I make the coffee and the whole time he stays quite. I give him the coffee and tell him the total. He gives me the money but instead of walking away he stays.
"I just wanted to apologize for the way I acted yesterday. I'm not usually like that. I just....you make me nervous....and I'm not sure how to act around you." He says avoiding eye contact "th-this is for you he says handing me the rose.
"Why do I make you nervous?" I ask him. He finally looks up at me. "I just tend to get nervous around beautiful girls I guess." He says slightly smiling. I take the cup out of his hand and write my number on it.
"I managed to find some room this time."
