Coffee Boy ~ Nick

I'm a book addict and a coffee addict. I'm currently in a coffee shop reading 'where the crawdads sing' a beautiful story about a lonely outsider.

That reminds me of someone, but I can't quite place who.

Who am I kidding, I'm gonna die alone.

"hey y/n! The usual?" hope asks me with a kind smile. Hope is a nice lady in her mid 60s, she has worked here longer than I have lived.

"yes please, thank you" i say and lay down my book. It's five years since I first entered this shop. I was born and raised in Scotland before moving to America with my mom and my brother Thomas. I had a hard time understanding English so that sucked.

Two weeks after moving here I entered this lovely shop and asked for a black coffee. Everybody seemed to stop what they were doing and gasped. A short lady behind the counter asked why i wanted back coffee.

"cause I like it that way?" the lady shook her head and placed a hand over heart. "never in the thirty years that I've worked here did a customer ask for a 'black coffee'" she tried to copy my thick Scottish accent.

I just laughed and handed her a twenty. She stared at me in disbelieve but gave me my black coffee. "have a nice day" she said still shocked. "I will"

She still tries to persuade me into ordering anything but black coffee but I like to keep my coffee simple. "I can't believe you rejected him after he wrote you a poem" I laugh and sip my coffee.

"he doesn't understand love does not rhyme with life, that's says enough" the bell above the door rinkels and a very handsome man steps inside. His blue eyes scan over the menu twice before he makes his decision. Hope has left my table and is now standing behind the counter. "can I have a caramel latte and a chocolate muffin please?"

"excellent choice!" says hope and gives me a pointed look. The man turns around and sends me a smile. I smile back cause I don't want to be a jerk. After the man collected his order, he comes over to my table. "is this seat taken?" I shake my head not really trusting my voice and pick up my book.

"oh I've seen the movie! I love the storyline" I look up and see him happily eating his muffin. "my name's Nick" he holds out his right hand waiting for me to shake it. "Aiden"

"why did the nice lady behind the counter give you that look earlier?" he looks really confused, it's super cute. "I like my coffee black, and some people are against it" Nick laughs and shakes his head.

+ a month later +

"but what if a bird grabs you?" i'm dying of laughter while he just continues his rant about birds being 'dangerous creatures' "we're in the coffee shop soaked after having jumped in puddles. It had rained all day today and we decided to go grab a warm cup of coffee.

Nick and I grew closer over the last month, he had given me his number after we first met and we now are the bestest of friends.

"are you flying to safety? I think the fuck not!!" hope is giving me the 'marry him please' look. She's standing behind her pink counter acting like she isn't dropping obvious hints here and there. She knows when I like someone, and that 'someone' is Nick.

One time Nick and I were having a conversation about our future and hope suddenly changed the song coming out of the speakers to 'I think I'm gonna marry you' by bruno Mars. It was humiliating to say the least.

She was so happy when I finally got my shit together and asked him out on a date. She's like an over excited mom.

We've been dating for over 2 weeks now. And he's all I could ever ask for.
