TaeTee Cafe - A ForthBeam Fan Fiction

XI. An Apology For A Cup of Coffee

Forth's POV

A day after I have seen Mr. None of Your Business, I decided to go for a visit to the cafe where I last saw him working

Right up ahead, the cafe is in sight, with its royal blue paint glistening in the first golden rays of the day. I can see the rain drops that cling, jewel-like to to the sign, "TaeTee Cafe"  

As I walked through the front door of the café, the familiar smell of filtered coffee rose and dissipated into the crisp air. The smell of caffeine was stirring around the room and the smell of freshly grounded coffee beans stimulated every single feeling of bliss in me. As my nose tingled with the morning flavor, I watched the skilled hand of the barista, my barista, as he mixed just the right amount of ingredients to brew a perfect cup of coffee

I should probably get used to this scent if I plan to go here everyday

I walked towards the counter. The coffee guy seems to have no idea about my presence in his this establishment

With his back facing me, I greeted him..

"Hey Mr. None of Yo.."

In only half a second, he faced me. He was raising an eyebrow that paired with a set of pissed eyes

What the? Do you have a pair of eyes behind your head? How did he even see me?

"Stop calling me by that name" he said irritably

"If you want me to stop you, then tell me yours"

He did not respond, yet, he remained silent and stared at my soul with those creepy yet angelic eyes

"Are you just going to stare at me with those eyes or are you going to tell me your name?" I teased him

He did not move a muscle. His hands were turning to white as he was clenching his fists on the counter. He gritted his teeth as an effort to remain silent. I can clearly hear his teeth grinding with frustration. An obvious look on his face clearly showed that he was resisting himself to throw a punch at me

Persistent huh?

"Let me guess, is it Java? Decaf? Latte? Tea? Or maybe it really is Mr. None of Your Business"

I started to call him names and tried every possible name I can possibly think of just to get his name but it was unsuccessful

This guy is one tough kid, makes me want to tease him a little more

I resorted to calling the shop's manager to report him

Maybe the shop manager will tell his name. Let me give this a shot

"Excuse me, let me speak to the manager of this cafe, perhaps the owner would be better since an employee is disrespecting a customer" I demanded as I leaned on the counter

He raised an eyebrow and then blurted out a little chuckle

What's with the laugh?

"I. Am. The. Owner." He said to my face as he placed his index finger on my forehead

At that very moment, his face moved closer until it was just inches away from mine

With that distance, I was able to carefully admire his facial features. His nose bridge was well formed, the pair of glistening brown eyes perfectly matched his thick eyebrows, his hair was a little bit messy as drops of sweat can be spotted, to wrap up his flawless face, he owns this rosy pink lips that I found very attractive, but there was something missing, 

My lips on his

"Stay still like this and I might eventually be forced to give you a kiss" I teased
