coffee boy

day 1

I set the red rose down on the cold stone slate. I sniffed, pulling my coat on tighter around my body.

Tearing up, I stared at the words carved into the stone.

A cold gush of wind blew through my hair and through the leaves, causing them to fly.

My eyes stung with tears as I remembered all of the memories with her.

Overwhelmed, I turned around and ran to my car as tears streamed down my cheeks.

I sobbed as I started the car and drove out of the cemetery.

Tears blurred my vision as the car slowed down, due to a stoplight. I wiped my tears on my sleeve, sniffing.

Pulling into the parking lot, I wiped my tears, not caring about my red eyes and puffy cheeks.

I exited my car and entered the coffee shop, locking my car doors.

I peered out at the long line. I sniffed, and joined them in the long wait.

I looked down at my phone, and the man in front of me ordered.

"Name?"
"Grayson,"

I locked my phone, preparing to order. She handed him his coffee, and he turned around.

I caught a glimpse of his facial features before he turned around and left.

Beautiful brown eyes.

I stepped forward and told her what I wanted. I handed her ten dollars.

"Name?"
"Morgan,"

She nodded, and wrote my name on the cup.

I waited a couple minutes before she handed me my coffee, and I thanked her.

I left the small shop, once again.
