For weeks young Novae admired the pretty barista who worked at the local coffee shop on her college campus. Shed come in half an hour before her lecture, order her usual of a chocolate croissant and a large black coffee, be completely engrossed in the barista who she didn't know the name of, and tip $5 before leaving. While she wasn't there every day, it was a routine Novae looked forward to. Novae was completely captivated by this young lady. Novae decided she would soon have to devise a plan to capture the beautiful baristas attention. It was obvious her quiet admiring from afar wouldn't cut it and she needed to at least find out this girls name.
On the other side of our viewpoint, we meet young Faith, who works afternoons at a coffee shop on her college campus most days of the week. The highlight of her day is when the pretty lady who'd order black coffee and a chocolate croissant would come in and pretend she wasn't staring at Faith. Behind Faiths back, her coworkers were secretly betting on whether or not they would get together. Faith knew she had to have a dexterous plan to get her attention.
The net day, Faith wasn't there, it threw off Novae's habituate schedule. When she asked one of the other workers where the short, red-headed barista was, all she was given was a quick scoff and the curt words that she wasn't there. Novae just smiled and nodded, she didn't want to vex anyone by trying to weasel out information. This continued for a few days before Faith returned, Novae stopped asking because she didn't want to entail anyone, but she sure was happy when Faith returned. Novae didn't know the veritable reason why the pretty barista wasnt there but she just assumed that she was just taken off the schedule for the week.
When Faith took Novae's order the next day, she wrote on a napkin Ill barter my number for your name and a date, I get off at 6 if you want to take my offer, and handed it to Novae with a smile. Novae smiled with a small blush and agreed to meet her then.
The End.
