I was daydreaming at my part-time job while practicing latte art. The buzz in the coffee shop died down around 3:00-4:00pm and I used that time as a break. My lips broke out into a smile as I made a heart in the latte while thinking about my future partner. Ahh...How nice would it be to fall in love? The thought brought a rush of pink to my cheeks as my right hand cupped my cheek. I sighed contentedly, my heart racing in excitement.
The sound of the bell ringing got me out of my trance. I looked up to see the door closing while a guy wearing a black mask and a hood over his head entered the store. Strange choice of clothing when the afternoon sun was frying everything that it could get his hands on, outside. I put my latte at the back of the counter, placing the milk jug back in its place. I went to the ordering station to get his order. The guy pulled down his mask to state his order. And that was when I felt my heart go wild.
His face was simply...ASTOUNDING. His eyes were charismatic and his snowy skin was perfectly clear. He had pinkish lips that sat below a perfectly carved nose. His brown hair was swept to the right, in a messy but pretty way. I stood there admiring his beauty as the world around me drained of all colour except him. I could feel my heart fluttering and I felt like I was floating in mid air.
"Hello-Miss, can I have a latte and a muffin" he repeated his order while waving in front of my face. I regained my consciousness and nodded rigidly. I could feel butterflies in the pit of my stomach as I made my way to the coffee machine. What jut happened? I gripped on the handle of the cup while trying my best to control my shaking. I was still wondering my weird behaviour and surprised that I couldn't calm myself down. I made a latte and picked a saucer to serve the latte in when my boss barged in. I placed the latte at the back counter, alongside the latte I had made earlier.
"We've a emergency order. Finish checking it while I take over you" she commanded.
"Y-Yes. Oh, and the order for him is over there. He also asked for a muffin," I pointed to the lattes at the back counter after pointing to the guy waiting near the counter. I took the bill from the telephone and checked the drinks inside the plastic bag. After checking, I picked them up and handed them to the delivery boy and headed back to the counter.
"I'm done checking and sent the delivery," I acknowledged my boss.
"Oh, thanks. By the way, don't give him too much special treatment" she replied, winking at me. She grabbed my hand and pressed a letter inside. Wait. WHAT? Give WHO special treatment? I asked myself while opening the letter.
Hey there,
Thanks for the special heart in my latte. You're a pretty girl and I am interested in you! Let's meet up sometime yah?
Love,
Junnwei
P.S. XXX XXX XXX > My number ;)
My eyes widened in shock at those words on the paper. I rushed to the back counter to see a plain latte sitting there, staring back at me. OMG,SHE GAVE HIM THE WRONG ONE! I internally screamed. I face palmed myself to hear snickering behind me. I turned around to see Junwei looking at me, mouthing 'cute'.
I blushed and looked down, hugging the paper to my chest. I smiled to myself as he got up to leave. Before he left the shop he turned to look at me, his hand on the handle.
'Call me' he mouthed towards me, making a phone sign with his hand and placing it near his ears. I nodded enthusiastically as he smiled at me and left the store, leaving me with a racing heart and wild mind.
