Y/n - Your name
-----------------------
Y/n POV.
I squirmed in my chair, slightly turning it from side to side. I had a deadline coming up and I had no ideas. I stared at my computer screen that had my small YouTube channel on one of the tabs. I stared right at the plus sign that would let me create a new video to upload. I silently pondered to myself for a second, until I spoke aloud my thoughts,
"What was that thing my mom used to say?" I paused then resumed, " Ah. I remember now. Take a break and procrastinate!" I clapped my hands together and stood up from my small swivel chair and quickly put on some shoes and a hoodie. "Now, where am I going?" I stood at the front door, it looked menacing , it was almost mocking me basically telling me just to turn around and just lay around in bed all day.
I had to admit it sounded tempting. I quickly snapped out of it and reached for the doorknob and turned it, only to be slapped by a cold breeze in my face. "Well then, nice to see you too world." I mumbled. I stepped out of the house and I hurried down to my favorite café place, Claire's. I entered the little Café and I immediately felt the warmth washing over my body, and thought , 'Ah Yes, this is the only reason I leave the house at all.'
I walked up to the cashier and there stood Claire with her short blond hair and warm smile to greet me.
"Your usual?" She said warmly.
"Yep, as always. Got any new pastries for me?" I replied
"Oh you bet I do! I made Tiramisu cake! I made it earlier this morning." She said as she made my usual setting it down on the counter. "I don't know how it tastes yet, so your the first to try it! I couldn't bare to cut into it, it looks too pretty to ruin."
"But you'll ruin it for me?" I contradicted.
"Yeah, but that's because your one of my favorite usual's. Now, I'll bring it to you shortly." She then passed my drink to me then going off to the next person in line.
As soon as I grabbed my drink I turned around to look at my usual spot I sit at, and I see a man there. Well, crap. I know it's just seat, but it's comfy and usually no one sits there because its like a little closed off space from the rest of the Café and it's dimly lit. I mean I could always share the spot with the stranger and not say anything to him. But that's awkward, and I don't do awkward. But me right now staring at him for more than 5 seconds makes me already look weird and I have to make a choice.
Reluctantly, I deicide to walk up to the man. Now getting a better look on him I see that he wears a brownish black hoodie with black jeans and dark green converse with a black mask covering his face. Kind of sus not gonna lie, but we're in a public place and I don't think he'll pull anything too weird. I mean the dude's just chilling on his computer drinking, whatever he's drinking.
"Um, excuse me?" I say in a somewhat confident voice but not really.
He turns his head to me and simply replies "Yes? is there something wrong?"
Holy. Crap. His voice is so smooth and deep, its like I don't know how to describe it but it's amazing. And he must of noticed the shock on my face when I heard him speak, because he snickered a little.
"Oh- Um I was just wondering if I could sit with you, I mean it's totally fine if you say no but like it's my favorite spot and that sounds weird coming out of my mouth and I'm going to stop talking now."
I could see small smile underneath his mask form and he just said, "Sure, go ahead and sit with me. I don't mind."
"Oh. Thank you." I shuffled into the seat across from him and drank my usual. I thought it would be awkward sitting here near him, but he emitted this sort of comfortable atmosphere. It was nice. It had only been a few minutes of this nice silence of me on my phone and him typing away on his computer. Then I heard nearing footsteps near me, Claire. I had forgotten. I whipped my head at the approaching footsteps and I can already see the shit-eating grin on her face. Claire cleared her throat when she arrived at the small booth. This had alerted the man in front of me and he looked at her a slight second and then began to work again.
Claire placed down my slice of cake, "Here is your Tiramisu cake, Ma'am" she said almost sickening sweet.
"Thank you." I replied.
Claire then made a motion with her hand pointing at him while the other hand covered it and mouthed 'who's he?' I wanted to mouth back at her but then he looked up at Claire again confused as to why she just standing there, Claire quickly put her hands down and quickly I mouthed back 'not now'. Then she quickly walked away.
He gave me a questioning look at screamed what was that about?
"Claire's my friend, if you were wondering."
"How did you know I wanted to ask that?"
"Your pretty expressive with your face, did you know that?"
He tilted his head a bit, with a confused face, "Really? I didn't notice. I don't pay attention to my face that much." I giggled a bit, " You don't pay attention to your face? I always am freaking out on my face thinking it's ugly or have too much acne or something along those lines." I take a bite of my cake, it's very refreshing and there's a hint of coffee in there, but its not too strong but not unnoticeable. Claire's outdone herself this time.
"I don't think your ugly, you look nice" He said. I snapped out of judging the cake I was eating and because I wasn't expecting the compliment I blushed, like beet red. Only slightly chocking on my cake, but it was unnoticeable so we are A-Okay in that department!
"Um- Thanks! I would tell you your handsome, but I can't see your face so, uh your eyes are pretty!" Oh god why am I like this.
He smiled and and simply said, "Thanks. Yours are too." Great job Y/n you've officially made a fool of yourself. "Now that's done." he said aloud. He stretched his arms upward earning a small grunt from himself, and closed his computer. Now that he had finished he looked over at me and looked at my half eaten slice of cake. "Hey, that wasn't on the menu? Maybe I'm blind and must have over looked it."
"Huh? This?" I pointed to it, he gave me slight nod. "Oh. Claire always gives me new treats whenever she's trying something new and she almost amazing every time."
He just stared at me.
"D-did you want some?"
"I mean, I would like to try some." I got up, but was quickly interrupted by him,
"You don't need to get up, I don't want to cause you any trouble."
"You let me sit with you and you didn't have to, I can do this to repay you."
He sighed in defeat and nodded.
I walked over to Claire and you can guess she was eavesdropping and already had the slice of cake ready. When I got to her she said, "It's on the house" then slid the slice over to me, "Oh and Y/n, get you some" she said the last part in a whisper. I Blushed and whispered back " I just met him! and I don't even know his name!" she simply gave me a smirk and said
"So?"
I turned my back to her and swiftly back my way back to the table knowing Claire is probably staring and grinning. I gave him the slice and he gave a soft 'thank you' to me and took a few bites. And his face lit up,
"It's good!" I smiled
"Yeah Claire is talented like that."
"How much do I pay for the cake?"
"Oh, uh she said it was on the house. So, don't worry about that." After he finished he thanked me for the meal and stood up.
"Are you leaving now?" I asked slightly disappointed.
"Yeah I am, but I will come back here after all it's close to my home and it's cozy here."
I smiled and we said our goodbyes. He left the booth and heading for the exit
"Oh! Wait! I don't even..." I started but the man had left I sighed "I don't even know your name yet."
Frustrated I sat back down and Claire came skipping over not actually but she practically did.
"Oooh~ mystery man Y/n you think he digs you?" She asks, but I don't pay attention. I huffed and looked up at her, " I didn't even ask his name before he left."
"Hmm. He did say he was going to come back, you just don't know when. It's alright y/n lover boy/mystery man will be back again soon!~" she said in a singsong tone.
" CLAIREEEEE STOPPP!!!!" I groaned " Besides I literally just met him and I'm not looking for a relationship right now."
"Boooo!! Your such a stick in the mud! You never let me have my fun." She pouts.
"Yeah, yeah I know I suck" I roll my eyes.
"I saw that."
"You we're supposed to."
"Your impossible, y/n"
"You too, Claire you too."
