Coffee - Prinxiety AU Fanfic

Part 2 - Virgil

VIRGIL POV

I could feel my hands getting sweaty. I shut my eyes tight, trying to block out the tears.

'Excuse me. Aren't you going to tell me why he got his food before me?'

I tried to keep my voice steady as I spoke.

'I-I'm sorry miss, but he only o-ordered a coffee and-'

'I DON'T CARE! I ORDERED BEFORE HIM!'

'B-but, miss your food w-will be coming soon.' my voice trailed off. I tried to speak, but my body wouldn't let me.

'WELL? SPEAK UP!'

I felt a hand on my shoulder.

'Leave him alone. You heard what he said, your food will be coming soon. Until then, please go sit down at your table.'

Roman. Thank god.

I heard a scoff, followed by footsteps. She was gone.

'Hey, hey. Virgil, are you ok?'

I tried again to answer, but only managed to cry more.

'Shhh, ssshhh, it's ok Virgil, she's gone, it's ok.'

I finally managed to regain my voice

'Th-thanks Roman.'

'It's ok buddy.'

We stood in silence for a few more moments.

'Hey, Virgil?'

'....Yeah..'

'What, um, what happened?'

'Oh.' I felt my throat closing up.'Oh, I, I uh, I had an anxiety attack.'

'Oh.'

The silence was interrupted by a phone ringing.

'Jesus Remy, not again.' Roman mumbled under his breath. 'I have to take this, sorry.'

'It's ok, I should get back to work.' I replied. And with that, I turned away and went back to the cashier. Behind me I heard Roman speaking to his phone.

'I'm just having a coffee Remy, what do you want? No I didn't get you one? Did you ask me to? Arrggghhhh. Fine. I'll get you Starbucks on my way back. Bye.'

I smiled. Wiping my tears on my hoodie, I started serving the next customer.

Maybe I had a slight crush on Roman.
