Open Heart: MC X Sienna

Lost In Your Touch

Felix Alexander's POV

I change into a white V-neck and my black sweatpants. Sienna has also changed into her night time clothes. A pale pink t-shirt and white shorts. Now that we both are pretty comfy, I begin with whipping the coffee.

"I really love making coffee. I did not tell ya'll but I used to be a barista as my part time job in med-school" I accept my long-hid secret.

"What? Why didn't you tell us?" she leans against the countertop with her weight on her elbows.

"Guess I didn't want you guys asking me to make coffee all the time" I say very truthfully.

"Well, should've never told me then..." she raises an eyebrow at me in a very mischievous manner.

"Oopsie!" and we laugh in unison.

God! I could get used to this! Just the two of us, in our house, alone and more windy and cool nights like these where I would keep her warm.

"Is that how you made all those arm muscles? By whipping coffee?" she asks.

"Ahh, my secret is exposed" I give an exaggerated sigh. She chuckles.

With coffee mugs in our hands, we stand by the railing of our small, private balcony. The wind that is playing with her is making me so jealous. I wanna be the one to do that.

She sips the coffee and closes her eyes with delight "My God! You are amazing at this, Felix" she squeals happily.

I take a sip too and have a similar reaction.

"You go Felix! Yay!" I cheer for myself. Not a surprise that Sienna joins in, in my childish venture.

"I will make you hot chocolate the next time. I can safely and confidently make this claim that I make the best hot chocolate in town" I boast my barista skill.

"Now don't make me crave hot chocolate, Felix or else you'd have to go and begin working again" she jokes.

We have a hearty laugh.

"It's been so long since I enjoyed this much. The weather, the coffee, the peace... and the company" she stares at a distance. I bow for her "My pleasure, dear lady!"

"You actor!" she brushes me off. I bite my lip to not say anything flirty and go back to my coffee.

"Have you ever wondered what life would have been like if I would have met you sooner? What if I was actually smart enough to get into Princeton and maybe we were classmates?" I have thought about this a lot.

"Maybe never thought about being with you at Princeton but definitely thought about meeting you earlier" she murmurs and my breath catches.

She keeps on drinking the coffee and doesn't continue.

"If we would have met earlier..." I smile, her head immediately turns in my direction. "Then this wouldn't have been your first time getting impressed by my secret Barista skills". She smiles brightly.

"Well, it would have not been a secret then, since I would have known that you worked at a café, since we would have maybe been in college together" she says.

"True that!" I say and drain the last of the contents of my mug. When she's done too, I take a step closer and offer to take the mug from her. This is when we realise that how close we are standing to each other.

I can smell her vanilla and lavender perfume. The wind that blows and messes up her hair brings along the scent of her strawberry and mint shampoo. Every second that I look into her eyes feels like a new revelation to me.
