XXV: Christmas Coffee

You stand at the tables, wiping every single one of it as you hummed along to the Christmas music playing through the sound system. You had decided to take the Christmas shift, the increase in pay was enough to convince you to take the shift. Especially when there aren't as many customers as on usual days.

You had already planned on meeting with you friends after you closedthe coffee shop, so it wasn't like you missed the whole Christmas day. At first you got bored but it was better than having to work so hard on the normal busy days.

You heard the bell of the door jingle, and still busy with the tables you answered, " Welcome, I'll be with you in a moment. "

" It's okay, take as long as you need. " the customer responded, his voice low.

You looked up, seeing a handsome young man brushing snow off his jeans in the entryway while carrying a guitar case on his shoulder. You cocked your head slightly, confused at the sudden appearance of him.

" I haven't seen you around here before. " you commented, going behind the counter to serve him. " So what brings you to this small town? "

" Yeah, I just moved here, needed a small town to start fresh. " he says, then he looks through the menu written on the blackboard behind you.

You smile, " So what would it be? "

" Uh, " he stares at the menu then looks back at me. " I don't really know, what would you suggest? "

" Hmm, well my favorite is ( your favorite drink ). "

" That does sound yummy. " he smiles at you. " Then I'll have that. "

" Great choice. " you teased.  " So, seriously what brings you to this small town. " you ask as you prepare the drink.

" Well, I just want a quite place to write songs. " he explains as he takes out his wallet to pay it.

You came back with his drink and shake your head, " here's one ( your favorite drink ), and you don't have to pay, it is Christmas after all. " you smile, handing him his drink.

" Thank you. " he gladly takes it and sits at the table in the corner, finally taking out his guitar.

You continue cleaning and hum a Christmas song, but only softer this time. You notice him strum a few chords on his guitar and finally it turns into a melody. After you're done, you sat behind the counter tapping your fingers on it.

" Sorry to bother but, can you hear me play for a moment? " he asks. " I mean, we are the only two people here and you're obviously not busy. " he chuckles.

" Okay then. " you laugh and you approach the handsome young man and sit across of him.

He adjusts the tune of the guitar for a few seconds and strums the whole thing in a G chord, making sure it sounds right. He then clears his throat before playing a song.

You were stunned and already in love with his voice, it was amazing, you didn't know if words could express how much you loved hearing him sing. The way he plays his guitar is also intriguing to you.

Even you didn't realize it, but you were staring at him, taking in his features as he sings and plays his acoustic guitar. When he finishes, he looks at you and you were still staring at him.

" So? " he smiles.

You finally snapback into your senses. " Huh? I'm sorry, what? "

He laughs at how cute and silly you were. " So how was the song? "

" Oh, " you blush. " it was wonderful. What was the title of it? "

" I Don't Even Know Your Name. "

" My name's (Y/N). "

He stares at you for a second before he cracks up. " That was the title of the song silly. " That was probably the most embarrassing moment of your life, you just look down with your face red of embarrassment.

" I knew that. " you lie.

" My name's Shawn by the way. " he laughs then takes his hand out which you shyly shake back.

Your phone vibrates and you check the time, it's closing time. But the funny thing is, you didn't want to leave. You still wanted to spend time with this handsome stranger that just saw you embarrassed yourself.

" It's closing time. " you say softly.

" It's okay, " he smiles at you. He packs up his guitar and slings it on his shoulder, with his drink in his hand. You both stand up, ready to say your good byes. " I guess I'll see you around. " he shots you a sweet smile, then heads out and on his way to enjoy the rest of Christmas day.

You sigh, but then a note on the table caught your eye which made you smile again.

' I would love to spend time with you again (Y/N) '

Don't forget to spend time with your family okay :)
