Stresses I blow a strand of my brown hair out of my face as I enter a Starbucks with my suutcase. I'm sure I will annoy everyone in here, but c'mon! It's not even that much going on here so suck it up. I just need something to drink. The past few days were pretty exhausting for me and there is no sign of it getting better soon, so I really don't fucking care if I annoy someone in here with my stuff. We will all survive it anyways. I'm pretty sure of it.

I luckily don't have to wait long until I can order my hot chocolate. My usual Starbucks order. I'm not a big coffe fan and a friend of mine used to drag me to a Starbucks now and again so I always ordered a hot chocolate. And no, it's never too hot for hot chocolate.


After I ordered I step aside, my suitcase behind me and I check my phone. I got a new contract and have a fsew struggle with it, but sooner or later I'll get it. Hopefully sooner. Even though there is no one who would want to call me.

"Classic Hot Chocolate for Elisabeth!"

   "Classic Hot Chocolate for Elisabeth!" I put my phone away and grab my cup with the hot liquid. The moment I am about to take my stuff, someone runs into me and I spill the hot drink over my thin jacket. My mouth is slightly open in shock as I stare at the now nearly empty cup.

   "I am so sorry!" A hand tries to clean my jacket and I look up. Some of the employees gives me a wet towel and I just try to get the liquid off of my jacket. The stain won't go away soon anyways. I won't have a washing mashine for a while.

   "It's okay. I'm sorry for my drink." I say with a pout and try to be funny. He sighs and looks at me. 'He' is a guy, probably around my age, with brown hair and amazing blue eyes. Shit. He is really good looking.

   "I'm so so sorry. My friends," He looks over his shoulder to a group of four guys. As I look to them, they immediatly pretend like they have nothing to do with this. But they try to stop laughing amused. That gives them away. "they thought it's fun to push me around." I smile and put the towel at the counter.

   "It's okay. I know this kind of friends. Had some too."

"Colby! You're coming?" a asian-looking guy with snapback says loudly. Colby ignores him gracefully.

   "You should go. Your friends need someone to push around." I say smiling while I take off my jacket and lay it over my luggage.

   "No, they can wait. And I at least wanna buy you a new one. Hot chocolate, right?" He points at the paper cup that's nearly empty.

   "Yes, but no, you don't need to. It's fine." I protest, but he's on his way and can already order. I blush a bit. He really shouldn't do this.

   And a few moments later he gives me the cup with hot chocolate. "Thank you." I say smiling, but still blushed.


   "You're very welcome."

"Come on, Colby! Stop flirting around! You have a girlfriend." I look at him a bit amused. He doesn't look amused at all.

   "You should go now. Thanks for the hot chocolate." I say smiling and lift the cup a little. He smiles slightly than goes to his friends. I watch how they leave and shake my head amused. A great first day in LA. A great first day...
