I hit 200! This is amazing! You guys are amazing! Thank you all so so much! Let's hope we hit 300 and many more!

"Ma'am, what would you like to order?" The barista asked me. "Umm.. A venti Pumpkin Spice Latte would be amazing." I asked politely. The barista hadn't looked up at me yet, maybe she would know who I am when she does..?I know it seems kind of narcissistic to say that, but I get pure enjoyment when people notice me. It makes me feel amazing, like I'm actually somebody.
"Okay, anything else?" She asked monotonously. "No, thank you." I said as I reached into my purse to grab my wallet. "That'll be $6.00 even. What's the name?" She still hadn't looked up yet. This is where I always get them.
"Y/N L/N." I said politely as I handed her the 6 dollars. Her head shot up and lit up with excitement. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry Ms. L/N! I'm such a big fan of your works!" She exclaimed as she started jumping up and down. I giggled at her and handed her the money, closing my purse with my newly freed hand. "Thank you, that makes my day." I smiled at her as I went to go sit down. I saw a table in a corner that was right next to the windows. I walked over and sat down, waiting for my drink. I pulled out my phone from my jean pocket and started scrolling through my Twitter notifications.
"Here you go, Ms. L/N." the barista scurried over and placed my cup and a straw on the table. I looked up at her and smiled. "Thank you, but please, call me Y/N." The barista blushed and couldn't contain her smile as she nodded frantically, running back to her cash register as more customers came in. I looked back down at my phone, pulling out the straw and putting it into my drink.
"Mind if I sit here?" I heard a familiar voice say. I looked up and saw Tom standing there with his cup of steaming coffee. He was wearing a red flannel with a denim jacket and dark skinny jeans. "Of course! Sit down." I smiled as he sat down opposite from me. "How are you on this fine morning?" He asked as he took a sip of his drink. "I'm fine, how are you?" I put my phone back into my pocket. "Tired." We laughed and I nodded my head in agreement. "So, how did you and Willow's date go, huh?" I smirked and winked at him. He chuckled and smiled, probably reminiscing about how it went. "Good, good. She was a little down about not getting the lead role with me, but I just reassured her that she'd do great at being the second lead." He looked up at me and took another sip of his coffee. "I'm sorry, I didn't think I would get the leading role either. All thanks to Emma and her big mouth, really." I giggled. "I know you'll do amazingly. I'm gonna' be right beside you through the whole thing, anyways, so if you start to freak out, I'll be there for you." Tom smiled as he set down his cup and placed his warm hand on mine. The pad of his thumb stroked the top of my hand soothingly. I nodded and smiled softly at him as he returned the look. "Thank you. I don't know where I'd be if you weren't here for me." I said honestly. "Same." Tom grinned as he leaned back in his seat, his warm hand leaving my now cold one. I frowned internally but kept the smile on my face. "I hope things don't get too awkward though. It's a romance movie, lots of kissing scenes." Tom winked at me. I giggled and covered my tomato red face. "Stooooop! Emma was teasing me about it constantly yesterday!" I exclaimed playfully, my face deepening in color as I thought about the scenes we'd have to do. I suddenly felt a hand on mine, grabbing it and lowering the hand that was covering my face. "Don't cover your face, love. You're embarrassment just makes you cuter." Tom blushed a little as well as he lowered my hand completely. "You know there's a sex scene, right? I hope Willow doesn't kill me." I laughed slightly as I drank my drink through the straw. "She won't. I already reassured her, so there shouldn't be any problems..-" Then Tom mumbled something after that. I couldn't really hear it, but I'm sure he said, 'the only problem we'll have is me trying not to get aroused..'
But I could be wrong, he did mumble it after all. "I think it'll be fun." I smiled, trying to not be nosy as to what he said under his breath. Tom just nodded and sipped at his drink. "Whatever happens, we have to promise each other that we'll always remain friends." My heart hurt just saying that. I had to do it though. It would hurt even more if I lost him. Tom set down his cup and smiled at me. "Always."

The rest of that day was full of Tom and I just talking and laughing at Starbucks. We really didn't mean to spend all that time together, but time flies when you're having fun. He had some stuff to do that day, but with a little persuading, I convinced him to stay. When the day was finally over, and we decided to finally call it quits, the sun had just started to set.
We walked out of the cafe together, looking at the setting sun and all the beautiful reds, oranges, yellows, pinks and purples that were all mixed together in the sky. The stars were just starting to come out as we looked at each other and smiled softly, both of us keeping this memory forever.

Like he said, we're always..
