FIND LOVE THROUGH COFFEE SMELL💞💚☕
The smell of coffee and freshly baked pastries were all you could smell and it smelled like heaven, the only thing killing the mood was your open laptop which displayed the unfinished essay that you had to finish by tonight. And the fact that you had time to do it was worse, you just decided that you would be able to do it last minute but now here you were stuck and not knowing how to finish it.
But on the good side is that you got to look at the cute stranger who was always there in the café yet not in the creepy way! Hopefully it didn’t look like that…. It was more of infatuation… he was super cute and had a very great sense of style so of course you wouldn’t stop looking.
He was actually in two of your classes but you have never spoken to him before so with that he was a stranger to me though sometimes you just get the urge to go over and introduce yourself. However, you would never do that knowing yourself as an introvert to a people you just met. So it was better to keep things the way they were, no contact.
It hurt your heart to leave the café now, but it’s best to finish the essay in your dorm. To put in another words, it was kinda like a routine; he was there and you were too. So you two would always see each other or at least that what you think and then both of you would see home.
And like always, the next time you were there so was he except this time you got busted from staring at him, which was definitely shameful incident for me. In spite of that, he shot you a soft smile that was enough to make your day better and make you blushing and then he left like always.
On the next time you were there, he seemed not to be in the café which was really weird but who knows maybe he was probably running late or maybe he got something so there was no reason to dwell. And your hunch was right, he entered the café as soon as you sat down at a table, you saw him get in line and order his coffee but he wasn’t going to another table or anywhere else. He’s strutting his foot towards you.
You started to get super nervous as this had never happened before, what if he told you off because feeling uncomfortable by your gaze on him?? or what if he told you that you look like a weirdo?? But there was not time to overthink since he was right in front of you at this moment.
“Do you mind if I sit with you?” flustered by the questioned, you scratch your neck which wasn’t even have any itchiness. “Uh, g- go ahead.” While taking his seat and putting over his coffee on the table, “Sorry if this was unexpected of me but I usually see you staring at me when I’m here so I’m thinking why not just sit together with you.”
In my head right now all I can think is how to run from this embarrassing moment. But as I know it’s no use of me to run now. With a shameless face, I face him “Oh god, you notice? Like all the time? I thought I was being discreet about it.” He chuckled by my answer “Not really, it’s quite eye-catching.” My face started to flush in pink, “I’m so sorry if it bothering you all this while. I hope I don’t look like creepy person-…”
“No, no at all! It’s quite flattering to be honest.” He says while smiling charmingly which make my heart faltered by that. “Oh, then that’s good that it didn’t look weirdo to you.”
“By the way, my name is Johnny.” “Oh, mine is Riana.” While seeping his coffee, he started to ask, “It’s lovely to meet you Riana, would you mind if I start sitting with you from now on?”
Try to calm my inner-self, I adjusting my way of sit “I wouldn’t mind at all.” “Great, I’ll be happy to see your pretty face regularly.” You chuckled by his remarks, “Aren’t you gonna even ask me if I have a significant other before flirting with me Mr Johnny?” he giggled with my respond and started to show his cheekiness by saying, “I think if you were to have a significant other, you wouldn’t be staring at me all the time.” he twinkled his dark brown eye. “Hmmm I guess you’re right.”
“But who knows, I maybe can be your significant other if you gave me the chance.” You grinned your smile while looking at your laptop. “You sure are an outgoing person, that’s very nice.” While he looking at you into the eyes, “I’ve been told that before, so how about you and me go out on a date?” you could only grin your smile and try not to look into his eyes as you surely blushing right now by his questioned.
Looking you flushed in pink, he knows there’s a chance so he asked, “Great, so how about you give me your contact number.” “Gladly.” You both exchanged smiles, he handed you his phone and you put your contact number there.
“Okay well, it’s done deal. I will contact you for our next date. As right now it’s been considered as our first date. OK?” You still flustered by what just happened, but you smile sweetly by what he’s saying.
After a while and having small talks about ourselves, it’s time like always for our routine which off from the café. And also we both got our own engagement after this. He has to go to his part-time work as a photographer while I’m off to meet my mom for dinner date.
“Alright Riana, sadly I have to go now as my works have been calling me but expect a message from me, OK?” and with a smile, “OK, I will wait.”
“Bye Riana.” “Bye Johnny.” With that he went to his way and left waving goodbye while winked his dark brown eyes and his cute puffy cheeks can be seen from afar.
Who would have known you would have scored a date with a cute and charming stranger, well it’s not now, as we have been exchange name and contact number. Guess the café was the one to thank to.
