I pulled my jacket around me tighter and continued walking through the cold streets of New York, my breath visible each time I exhaled. I regretted not bringing my scarf with me.
I went into the nearest coffee shop and in an effort to warm myself up a bit, I bought myself a cup of brew, roasting hot and sitting on a saucer, almost screaming "drink me".
I gratefully sipped on the coffee, letting the heat travel through my body.
I was gulping my last mouthful down when she walked in, causing me to nearly spit the coffee back out again, in amazement. Cliché, but she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.
She caught me staring and heat instantly rose to my cheeks. I turned away and stared into my empty cup. I wanted to join the end of the queue to buy another but I was too afraid of looking stupid in front of the beautiful girl.
I fiddled with the sugar packets until someone stood beside me with two cups of coffee. It was her.
"Is this seat free?" She asked, cheerfully.
I couldn't formulate words so I just smiled and gestured towards the seat.
She laughed a little "It would've been awkward if you said no, I bought the other coffee for you" she pushed the other cup towards me.
My smile dominated my face as I took the cup gently in my hands "Thank you, that was incredibly sweet of you! Why would you do that though?" I took a sip of the coffee, almost moaning at the feeling of it running down my throat.
She shrugged "I caught you staring and I saw you looking into the empty cup. I wasn't going to just ignore a pretty girl like yourself so I took an opportunity"
I blushed "I'm not pretty at all, have you seen yourself? You're beautiful" I bit my lip at my forwardness and sipped on my coffee again to shut myself up.
She giggled "Thanks! I'm Ashley"
"I'm y/n"
