"I love coffee," he shouted excitedly as they entered the quiet Starbucks. She giggled quietly, looking around at the numerous heads that had turned towards them upon their arrival.
"Maybe you don't need any coffee," she joked, putting her right hand on his arm to guide him towards the counter. He wasn't exactly a tall man, but at least a good six inches above her. Handsome and quirky, just like she liked them, but this wasn't like that. It wasn't exactly a "date," althought she kind of wished that it was. Realizing that she was staring, she quickly averted her eyes elsewhere. There was a colorful stack of giftcards arranged neatly in a cute little stand near the edge of the counter. She placed her hand on the edge of it, admiring all the different designs and colors. She rested her thumb on the end of one card, applying just enough pressure to gently lift it up out of the tray, then minutely moved her thumb away, letting it drop back in line with the others with a little "click." She heard laughter next to her and looked up to see that he was staring at her and smirking!
"What?" she smiled innocently, completely embarrassed that she'd been caught.
"You're cute, that's all," he responded, obviously enjoying the light reddish pink shade that her cheeks had turned. He was holding two drinks, extended one to her.
"You ordered for me?" she questioned. "How ambitious."
"Trust me." He offered the drink a second time, she took it, and took a cautious sip. She recognized the familiar flavor right away. It was the same thing that she always ordered. Exactly.
"How in the world..." she started.
"I have my ways," he smiled.
"Uh huh," she said, still staring at him, amazed, "I'm sure you do."
As they walked to an empty table, she couldn't help but stare. He just kept talking, like he always did, the mouth the never quits, and she just stared. Wow, she thought, still completely enthralled by the movement of his lips. Could I be falling for this guy?
