People fall in love in mysterious ways, maybe just the touch of a hand.

"Janet." Rose called holding the iced coffee in her hand.

A tall, slim blonde girl approached the counter with a bright smile that Rose had no problem returning. "Thank you."

"No problem. Have a great day." Rose smiled, moving to the register where more people lined up.

She took order after order, going through the motions being sure to smile and thank everyone before they left.

"Hi. Welcome to Starbucks, my name is Rose. What can I get for you today?" Rose looked up smiling seeing the cutest guy she'd seen in a while.

"Hi Rose. My name is Karl, what do you suggest?"

Rose giggled. "Um, the iced caramel frappé is good. I'm not a coffee person."

"But you work at Starbucks." Karl inquired smiling.

Rose smiled. "Well I'm a college student, I need money anyway I can get it."

Karl laughed. "I get it. As long as it's legal, right?"

Rose giggled. "Exactly, but what have you decided on?"

"Your number, if you don't mind."

"So, you stood in line just to get my number?"

Karl laughed. "I could use a little refresher, a little energy kick, but your number would do just fine."

Rose smiled. "Well, I'll ask my friend to hook you something up."

"Your number?"

"Be patient." Rose smiled, walking over to her bestfriend Tyler. She told him to make Karl something that'll remind him of her.

Tyler laughed and called her corny before mixing up a Passion Tea for Karl to drink and "remember" Rose.

"Karl, I have your drink." Rose smiled, scribbling her number on the cup.

Karl smiled and took the fruity, pink drink from her. "Thanks Rose. I guess I'm still waiting on your number."

"Maybe if you'd pay more attention you won't have to wait as long." Rose smiled before going to take another customer's order.

Karl was confused and a little upset that he didn't get her number. He got to his car and put his drink on the top of it while digging for his keys. It wasn't until then when he saw the number on the cup.

Karl smiled and grabbed the cup. He didn't even get a change to put on his seatbelt before texting her.

To rose - cute way of giving me your number. should've expected cute things from such a cute girl
