Ash POV

It was 7 in the damn morning and once again I was putting out the sign for the coffee shop reminding everyone of our exitance and that we were open. I hate hate HATE getting up at this time like what weirdo gets up at 7 in the morning to have a coffee because I'd love to know. I swear it was a good -160'c as a shiver left my body and as I exhaled a puff of white steam from my mouth. I quickly entered back inside the café and got ready to serve the regular morning customers.

Just as I had finished setting up the bell rung as someone entered

"Welcome to coffee express what can I oh it's just you old man"

"Oh shut up ash you know you sounded so innocent until that last part"

"Oh yeah would you like me to call you old man max then or o-OI HANDS OFF THE HAIR"

I shoved his hand off my hair as I slightly went red out of embarrassment, as much as I hated to admit it I loved it when he did that but I could never let him find that out

"So you want your regular mocha or you gonna do a switcharoo?"

"Haha you know me to well"

"Humpf well you are getting the BEST coffee in town you know so of course I know your order by now"

"Ash a mocha is only part coffee"

"Look at me and see if I give a shit we only serve the BEST coffee the BEST mochas in fact we sell the best EVERYTHING"

"Don't know weather that's you being confident or cocky"

"Old man its both"

(time skip to like 12 so lunch time lets goooooo)

Thank god I had a lunch break in an hour because I was starting to loose my shit. The coffee machie decided to break down so I had to call shorter to fix it, at least 3 people spilt their drinks and I had burnt my hand and that hurt like a bitch, I had a bandage around it which made It a lot harder to work. Just as I was about to take my break the bell rang, I groaned.

"Welcome to coff-"

As I looked up I saw a boy probably younger than me with silky smooth black hair and chocolate brown eyes with a blue shirt red thin jacket and black skinny jeans. He looked nervous but had a pure innocent energy surrounding him as if he was everything right with the world.

He looked at me making eye contact and I felt a small blush creep across my cheeks.

"O-oh um is this a bad time? If so I can always leave."

His voice sounded sweet like honey and I could listen to it on repeat for days. He sounded foreign and was doing his best to speak good English. It took me a second to realize what he said and I quickly snapped back into reality.

"U-um no no it isn't a bad time sorry todays just been....hectic to say the least"

I awkwardly laugh. Damn this boy is cute I swear it shouldn't be legal to have looks as good as those.

"Okay if your sure"

As he walked in I saw he had a camera in his bag and my curiosity took over.
