    "Hey."

I turned around from what I was doing and saw Daniel standing at the other side of the cash register... and it was only him.

"Oh hey." I said with a smile before walking up to him.
"You busy?" Asked Daniel as he looked around. I followed where his eyes went and smiled before responding with a "no".

Daniel and I sat outside in one of the two seated tables with two coffees in our hands. I looked at his hand that laid next to his cup. The quote I wrote, sitting on the side of his cup. It read the words...

You are artwork. I could admire you forever.

Daniel noticed my eyes laying upon his hands. He smiled before twisting the cup around. The quote now facing him. I watched as he read it.

"You write poems or something?" Asked Daniel

I giggled a little before responding.
"I expected something better than that."

"Sorry... I love it though." Said Daniel with his sweet smile.

"Good to know." I added.

"So, tell me about yourself." Said, Daniel.

I gave him a look...
"Well... I don't know where to start on that one."

"How about... your everyday life."

"Well, I work here" I said as I gave him hand gestures to the building we were "sitting in".
"I uh, go to college... just started going to UCLA about two months ago. I am an 18-year-old girl living in a Beverly Hills condo with three other friends. And well... oh ya, there's this boy that I get to see about every day... and I hope I get to continue to see this boy. His eyes are like Ocean Eyes and I can't stop staring into them." I told Daniel as I looked into his ocean eyes.

He just smiled with his tooth gap that seems like a part of him.

"How about you?" I kindly asked.

"Well, I am also 18, I don't go to school, I live with four other guys in a house in the beautiful Beverly Hills and my career just started. Also, I've met this girl who seems to be a writer of some sort cause I receive these quotes on my coffee that I can't stop smiling about."

"That girl must write poems for a living." I Said with a giggle. Daniel laughed back.

"Now what is this career that "'just started'?"

"Now Autumn... that must stay as a secret."

"Mysterious." I Said with a nod

We just continued to talk and talk and talk until my break was over.

"Would you like a refill on that coffee before you leave?" I asked.

"Sure."

I smiled as I got up and grabbed his cup before heading back behind the counter. I shook his cup to see how much was left and there was only very little. I looked behind me to see Daniel still sitting in his chair, on his phone. I turned back to his cup with a smile as I pulled the sharpie out from my pocket. I wrote my phone number on a visible side of the cup before I continued to refill his coffee.

The whole day flew by, and now I am just laying in my bed, about ready to go to sleep. As the usual, I go through all my social medias and such just to catch up on things I missed. I then received an Instagram message from one of my roommates named Ally. I opened it to see a picture of a guy. I resumed by clicking on the photo which then brought me to a post. Now that I can see the picture closer, I realized it was Daniel.

Suddenly my phone vibrated in my hands which frightened me. My eyes moved to the top of the screen to see an iMessage from a random number. It said,

*** *** ****
    "You are artwork, I could admire you forever"

I instantly got the vibe it was Daniel.

Me: I see you found my digits

It didn't take too long for him to respond back.

Daniel: Couldn't miss it...

Me: So what's up?

Daniel: Just laying in bed... The girl I mentioned to you today, just kept popping into my mind.

Me: I've been experiencing the same thing with the guy with ocean eyes.

Daniel: I can't stop thinking about her beautiful brown hair, her hazel/green eyes complimented with mascara. 

Me: Eyes... well not to have competition, but this guy's eyes are just absolutely stunning.

Daniel: Seems like a tight competition... Well, Autumn, It's getting late. Sweet dreams.

Me: Good night :)

I smiled before adding his number as a contact. Now the random numbers are titled with "Ocean Eyes".... can't get even more cheesy?
