“Does anyone want to go to Beanies with me?” Paul asked. It’s not like he couldn’t go by himself, he just preferred to have someone with him so it wouldn’t be too awkward between him and Emma. Ted stood up,  “Sure, I don’t mind going with you to see your cute little barista.” Ted said with a smirk as he saw Paul’s reaction. Even though he was flustered, he still rolled his eyes at him. “Does anyone else…?” He asked, hoping it wouldn’t be just him and Ted. Bill and Charlotte shook their heads. Paul lowered his head, “Okay…”, “Looks like it’s just you and me pal.” Ted grinned. Paul made an inaudible groan as Ted pretended to be buddy-buddy with him. After a bit of bickering as they went out of the building, they made their way to Beanies.

The bell chimed as someone opened the door, making you look up from cleaning the counter. “Hello, welcome to Beanies. How may I help you?” You asked politely as two men walked up to the counter. The two stopped their conversation and the guy in the black suit looked at you with a questioned look, “um, is… is Emma here?” You nodded, “yeah, she’s in the back. Emma! Someone wants you!” You yelled, not caring if you were disrupting the peace. Emma opened the door and gave you a grumpy look, “Is it Nora? Cause if it is, I swear to god-” , her eyes made her way to the guy who wanted her and lit up. “Paul!” She grinned, her mood instantly lightened. She made her way to the counter and they started to talk. “Lovebirds.” the other guy commented with a joking grimace. You would’ve felt the same but you knew Emma for a long time so you know how awkward she is with other people and how hard it is for her to connect with someone so you were glad she found someone she could talk and relate with.

“So, what would you like?” You ask, turning to the man who was with Paul. He looked back at you and squinted, making you tilt your head. “Are you new here?” You nodded your head, “Yeah, just started work yesterday.” The guy grinned, “should’ve come here yesterday too then.” You lifted an eyebrow and he shook his head in response, as if laughing on the inside. “So… what would you like, sir?” You asked again. His face tinted pink but he covered it up with a smirk, “well, normally I’m a coffee guy but you’re definitely my cup of tea.” You blushed at his response, “s-so.. a t-tea?” You stuttered, trying to ignore the pick up line he just used. “Yeah, I like my tea iced but I wouldn’t mind drinking it hot if you’re the one who made it.” It was as if he was telling his order through pick-up lines but you still couldn’t stop yourself from being flustered, they were your weakness. “Chai-know you’re thinking about me”, he said, still smirking at you as you stood there with mildly shaking hands. After making that last pick up line, you knew what he wanted. “A chai-iced tea, g-got it”, you said quickly as you went to make it. 

He watched you - mainly your ass - as you worked. “Hey Ted, you ready?” Paul asked, breaking him out of his trance. He then looked at Paul and he saw that Paul had a cup of coffee in his hand. He then assumed that meant ‘are you ready to go’. He shook his head, “just a moment”, he said as he went back to stare at you again. He didn’t see it but Paul nodded as he realized that he didn’t get his drink yet. He continued talking with Emma. You finished making the drink and returned to the counter with your face still flushed. "H-here you g-go, sir", you said as you handed him his drink. "Oh, you can call me coffee because I can grind so fine." He said with a wink. "Ted, stop torturing the poor girl with your lame pick up lines." Emma said as she rolled her eyes. "Alright alright, you caught me", he said, putting his arms up slowly - as to not spill the drink - as if he was defending himself. "The name's Ted, and you are…?", "(Y- y/n), n-nice to… nice to m-meet you…", "mmm, (y/n)..." he said, repeating your name. Your face heated up as you shook his hand. 

"Now are you ready, Ted?" Paul asked him. "Yeah, I'm good to go." Ted said to him. "See you ladies later~" He said, winking and doing finger guns at the two of you. Emma groaned however you just stayed silent with a blush still on your face. After the two left Beanies, Emma suddenly said, "he likes you." You gave her a confused look, "wh-what?", "I said Ted likes you." You shook your head, "N-no, he's p-probably just a- just a f-flirt…" She rolled her eyes at your doubt, "he was only staring at you and your ass as you worked." You blushed profusely again.

As the two left Beanies, Ted realized something. "Dammit, I forgot to ask for her number." Paul shrugged, "we can go back there tomorrow…", "okay."
