A Cup of Love (Sonnett/Horan)

Emily Sonnett aged 19, Freshman at the University of Portland, barista extraordinaire! Single and ready to mingle.

"Seriously Sonny, you're never going to get any action with a profile like that."

"If you are so good at this stuff, then why are you still single Ellie?"

"Because you Americans are intimidated by my accent."

"That or your resting bitch face!"

"And just for that, I'm not helping you get a girlfriend."

"Ellie, I'm sorry please you know I'm only kidding."

"I do, now let me see your phone."

Ellie takes Emily's phone and returns with it a few minutes later.

"How's this .... Emily Sonnett, 19. Student. Looking for a girl who will laugh at my corny jokes, and who isn't afraid of being embarrassed by my need to randomly break out into song or dance moves. Must love having fun, drinking coffee and soccer. My friends call me Sonny, but you can call me whatever you like provided your hot and available."

"Really Ellie? You can't post that!"

"Too late I already did!" Ellie passes her phone back and laughs as she returns to work.

Emily walks into work a few days later and Ellie comes right over to her, needing to know how her date with Samantha went.

"Well?"

"She was incredibly tall and boring! All she wanted to talk about was how much of an impact the Harry Potter books had on her life."

"So, no second date then?"

"I walked out during our first, so definitely no second."

"We'll keep working on it then."

"Yeah, why can't finding someone to love me be as easy as being your friend?"

"I love you, but I definitely don't want to sleep with you."

"Maybe I should make that Samantha chick my new best friend instead of you?"

"I'm hot, is she?"

Emily shakes her head, "Enough said. Now get to work!"

The next several weeks pass by and Emily continues to go out on dates, she finds a few attractive but there is no butterflies or fireworks with any of them."

A new term begins at UPort and Emily helps provide the student population with their regular dose of caffeine.

One afternoon, just as Emily is reaching the end of her shift, she notices a tall brunette enter the shop. Ellie notices the look her friend gives the customer and moves aside allowing her to take down the order.

"Hi there, what can I get you on this beautiful day?"

"Um, can I please have a tall vanilla latte?"

"Of course, and your name please?"

"Lindsey."

Emily takes the money for the order and offers her back the change, "Your order will be coming up on the side, Lindsey."

"Thank you."

"You're very welcome."

Emily smiles as she passes Lindsey her order, "Enjoy."

"I'm sure I will." Lindsey returns her smile before taking the drink, finding a seat at the corner table at then withdrawing her laptop from her bag and starting to type away.
