Third person POV :
It was a dull,rainy day like any other. Rey woke up around 6 in the morning, sat up on his bed with eyes still not fully open. So early, too early, but a job is a job. He slowly got up and prepared for the day. It never took him that long, but the walk to the cafe took some time. That never seemed to bother Rey, since he very much enjoyed walks, daydreaming and planning the rest of his day.
He got to the place at around 7, perfectly on time. There were not many people there, mostly students and adults, both wondering if one coffee is enough for their day, or if they should buy more. Deciding its about time to start working, Rey went to the back room to change and say hi. Tom, one of his co-workers waved at him, too busy with chatting on his phone to properly greet him but, Claris as always, welcomed him with a soft smile.
,,Good Morning Rey, dont mind that idiot over there,, she patted Rey on his shoulder ,,you know how he is, probably flirting with w girl on his phone right now,, Tom send her a glare but she just rolled her eyes. Rey giggled and changed intoo the clothes he was usually wearing, gladly representing the cafe he worked at.Rey's POV:
The day was rather boring, not many people showed up in the morning. Started off with some orders and small talk with Claris on the side and now patiently waiting for poeole. ,,I wonder if I spot anyone interesting today,, I thought as I leaned against the counter waiting for someone to come in.
It was fun looking at people that came in, wondering what their life is like, their personalities, its all so fascinating. My life was never really interesting, so its much more fun thinking about other's.
Dozing off a little bit, I started doodling a mammillaria on my small notepad.A cactus for those who dont know for whatever reason. Drawing was fun, its frustrating when you cant get something right but in general I would say its pretty relaxing, its so easy to get lost in though, might not be the best thing to do at work.
,,Nice plant,, I hear a voice above me say. Shooting my head up I notice a pair of maroon eyes was looking intoo mine for a second before we slightly move away from each other. ,,You scared me! Thanks!,, I say, trying to keep calm. When did he get here? I didnt hear anything at all.
,,Well, for scaring you? Or that the drawing is nice,, he asks
,,Both, I guess?" I say, then realized ,, Wait, no- I mean-,, I try to explain but cant quite do it. I quickly hear him giggle slightly.
,,Its okay, I think I know what you mean,, He sends me a small smile. Doesnt look like hes social, but theres something about him that interests me.
I dozed off a little again, but quickly reminded myself that Im at work and he probably wants to order something.
,,Oh, right. Do you want to order anything?,, I ask quickly.
,,I would love some Black tea, with an extra pack of sugar if you may, please,,
A sugar type I see, well he looks like he needs the extra pack of energy. I laugh a little to myself, a small smile apearing on my face.
,,What, cant a guy have some sugar, or are the big amounts for girls?,, He asks in a sarcastic tone.
,,Od course not, why though? Want to be more sweet?,, I ask jokingly.
,,Maybe, cant imagine you needing that so its understandable you would laugh at that,, A smirk apears on his face as he looks at me confidently. He walks away after paying and finds a place to sit by the window. I smile to myself and then realize. ,,Was that flirting, did he just call me sweet?,, I think to myself, feeling a small blush apear on my face.
Turning around I bump into Claris not noticing her standing right beside me. ,,Woaah, Claris, w-what's up?,, She looks at me with a smile that says she has something on her mind.
,,Well, definietely the lvl of your interest in that guy over there,, she says looking directly intoo my eyes. ,,Whaat, no way. Who told you that,, I desparately try to avoid eye contact and awkwardly run my hand through my hair. ,,The blush on your face, maybe... but just maybe,, I sighn, and look at her ,,Claris, I know Im gay, that doesnt mean everyone is and that I'm gonna like the first guy that walks intoo the cafe,, She pouted a little
,,Would that be so bad, he seems like your type and I see him here very often. Im sure he would like a redhead like you,, she points to my Crimson red hair ,,Yeh with freakish eyes like mine, who wouldnt, right?,, I say as I move past her to prepare the tea. I never liked that she always tries to find me someone, I'm okay by myself, and I can cuddle with my pillow if I need to. I pout at that slightly. Thinking its not the best time to continue, as another person was coming to order, she just moves back to her place.
I finished the tea and some other orders, my shift was ending soon so an idea strikes me. I should talk to the guy and bring him his tea, its a perfect oportunity. I take a couple of drinks and a few cakes and give them to the customers that orderd them. The thought acompanies me the whole time, why do I want to talk to him? Why is he so interesting to me.. It wont let me sleep unless I talk to him so, I grab his tea, an extra pack of sugar and go to the place he chose to sit in. Placing the tea down I sit in the place next to him.
,,Hey, can I sit here?,,
He looks at me and smiles lightly
,,Sure,,
Well, here we go...-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
And a clifhanger I guess. Its just the begining is this interesting so far? I dont know if Im good at writing, I mostly just read a lot. Feel free to give some advice and let me know if you like the story! I probably wont updated regularly but please deal with me.
