"Hi, what can I get for you?" I asked. It was undeniable that he was beautiful, from his curly brown hair to his piercing green eyes. It'd crossed my mind that he might've been a model. I should know, when I was in college I studied for photography, I had enjoyed taking pictures ever since I was a child.
"Just a coffee would be fine, thank you." His voice was deep, yet soothing.
I nodded, he gave me a ten-dollar bill, placing it in my hands while I opened the register to give him his change. "It'll be just a moment, sir."
"I've never been to this cafe, though I've heard it's good." He looked around again, then moved his eyes onto me, "what do you think about it?"
"Well, you've heard right," I gave him a small smile, "honestly it's probably one of the better ones I've been to, our friend opened this cafe, and is crazy about having good quality and precision."
"Really?"
Before I could answer his question, June came out with the coffee, handing it to him. He let out a small thank you, before drinking some.
"It's hot," he spoke, "but it's good."
"Well I'm glad you like it, do you think you're gonna come again? I like talking to you." I said, not realizing until after what I'd said, "well- I- um- You're just fun to talk to, uh, most customers are bland, I guess..." I tried to save myself, though it didn't really work. He just chuckled in response.
"I will, see you tomorrow."
I paused, but he'd already walked out the door.
"See you..."
He has dimples.

OH PROTECTOR OF MINE - A LOVE SO STRONG, ENOUGH TO LAST A HUNDRED LIFETMES
In the realm of fire and blood, where dragons dance and ambition burns bright, two souls entwine in a fate forged by destiny's hand. Sitara Evangeline Potters-Black, mistress of death, lies on the precipice of childbirth, her essence flickering like a candle in the dark. In another life, Alicent Hightower, duty-bound and unfulfilled, faces her own peril in the throes of labor. As the veil between worlds thins, the gods intervene, trading their souls amidst the agony of creation-a rebirth wrapped in shadow.
Awakening as Alicent Hightower, Sitara finds herself entangled in a web of power and rivalry, her heart heavy with the echoes of her past. Married to King Viserys Targaryen, she soon realizes that his love has waned, replaced by a growing affection for his daughter Rhaenyra. As their bond flourishes, Alicent's spirit wilts, suffocated by the weight of duty and a marriage steeped in disinterest. Yet, in the depths of her despair, a flicker of magic ignites within her-a dangerous gift that allows her to whisper the ancient tongues of dragons.
Amidst the court's treachery and whispered betrayals, Alicent's path intertwines with that of Daemon Targaryen, the king's fierce brother. Initially adversaries in a deadly game of ambition, their hearts are drawn together, igniting a slow-burning flame that defies the boundaries of loyalty and duty. In the shadows of the Red Keep, passion blooms like a rose among thorns, a forbidden romance fraught with peril.
In a world where every choice could lead to ruin, the stakes have never been higher. With the specter of death lurking, and alliances shifting like sand, can Alicent rise as a beacon of hope, or will she succumb to the darkness that seeks to claim her? The Dance of the Dragons beckons, and with it, the chance for redemption-or destruction.
