Lams coffee shop au
John's POV:
It was just another day at the café,I checked the clock it was 5:22 pm.
Lafayette's shift ended about an hour ago, and here I am in this empty shop,by myself wishing I owned more than 1 turtle. That's when I heard the wind chime ring startling me a little.
"Good Afternoon" I say trying to somewhat fix the mess that I call hair. He looked at me for a second then turned his head to the menu. I could feel my cheeks burn hot when I saw those beautiful brown eyes,his peach fuzz and the bags under his eyes making him look... well tired.
"Cute" I mumbled to myself ,waiting for him to choose whatever he wanted.After about 2 minutes he looked at me "Black with no sugar or milk please." He said not blinking once. "Black..? Ok anything else?" I asked bewildered. "Three cups."
"Three cups?!" I exclaim. He looked at me like a deer in front of headlights. "Do you not have enough? I'm so-"
"No we have enough,it's just..." I trail off not wanting to be rude.
"It's just..?" I take in a breath and continue my unfinished sentence
"Isn't that too much caffeine?"
He looks at me a little shocked but changed it into a mesmerising smile. "No not at all i have to do an assignment, also call me Alexander" he said rubbing his neck sheepishly. "The name's John so when is it for?" I ask my back turned so I could make the coffee. " In 7 months."
I stopped everything and turned to look at him "7 months." I repeat.
" uh yeah.." "wow you're determined,I can barely finish an assignment that's due in 1 week."
"Really? What's your major?" I hand him his coffees flashing him a small smile. "Marine Biology. You?"
I say feeling myself blush at the eye contact.
"Law." He says proudly taking his coffees and giving me a toothy smile. He was about to hand me the money before I stopped him. "It's on the house" I say. There is no way I can charge him I'd go to hell.
"I have to pay you!" "Nope!" I say with a smile. He looks at me and sighs. "Let me at least pay for one then."
"Well, fine.." He pays and leaves but not before saying thank you. I smile at thought of him he made my day. I go to put the money in the cash register, but realise something else with it.
I notice that it's a piece of paper. I unfold it to see a number.
XXX-XXX-XXXX Call me?
-Alexander
I look at the paper and squeal and scream. "Yes!"
