Daniel Seavey imagines

Barista

I got up at 6:00 am today because my shift at Starbucks started at 7:00. I dragged myself out of bed after my alarm continuously beeped at me. I got ready and grabbed some breakfast which i ate as i walked to the shop.

I was the first one there today so i opened the store and got everything set up for when we open. ( i dont work at Starbucks by the way so i don't know the processes they do) after everything was ready i put on my apron and badge as well as unlocking the doors so that customers could come in. It wasn't long before Tons of people started to come in and i was getting very stressed because orders started to pile up.

Eventually my co worker came in and we got through all the orders until it got to around 11 when she was on her break and more people started to come in. I was trying my best and actually coping better this time until a group of 5 boys came in and messed up the whole system i had going. As much as i kind of hated those boys for messing up my system and making me more stressed they were all kind of cute especially this one boys, he had the most stunning blue eyes and his hair was really cute. Eventually i got through all the orders while apologising to everyone for the wait. I got to all the boys orders and called them up to get their drinks.

You: here you go, I'm sorry for the wait we have been very busy today

Boy 1: its fine were in no rush

Boy 2: thank you, please take this

He handed me $10 bill

You: thank you but i cant take this

Boy 2: no please i insist

He put the bill back in my hand and closed it around it. I smiled and thanked him once again. It was soon time for my break which i used to freak out about the really cute boy giving me a tip. As much as I shouldn't accept tips i had to because he was just so sweet. As much as i was excited about my interaction with the new boy i knew i wasn't going to see him again which i was kind of sad about.

I did the rest of my shift and went back home and got ready for an early night sleep because I'm working the late shift tomorrow.

Skip to the next day

I spent that day cleaning my house before i had to go to the shop and be there till midnight. I hate doing the late shift because no one is ever there and it just gets so boring. I went anyway and clocked in for my night of being bored to death.

As i expected no one came in for most of my shift until it got to around 10:30 when someone finally came in. I didn't really pay attention to who it was because we quite often get the same people coming in this late so i assumed it was one of them but when i actually looked i was really shocked. It was the same boy that tipped me yesterday but this time he didn't look as happy. He ordered just a plain coffee which i made him and he just sat in the corner and just stared at the table. I felt so bad for him even though i had no idea what was going on but i really wanted to help him. I left it a little while before i decided to go over and see if he just wanted to talk to someone.

You: hey are you ok?

Boy: oh um sort of, thanks for the coffee by the way

You: your welcome but just know if you need someone to talk to I'm all ears

Boy: actually I would really appreciate that

When he said that i smiled and sat across from him. We first both introduced ourselves and i learnt that his name was daniel and that he was the same age as me. He told me why he was so sad and it made me feel really bad. He told me that he was meant to be on a date but she stood him up. I tried my best to get his mind off it by telling him some of my embarrassing date stories which made him laugh. We got along really well actually, we both really got to know each other and spent so long talking about funny stories and how complicated our lives are.
