"can i have some of your coffee?"

"oh of course"

i handed her the coffee mug. she took it from me and sipped it gently, her eyes dropping every now and then.

"are you okay?"

"yeah"

i knew she was lying but didn't want to press. after a long swig of my coffee, she placed it back on the table. i released a loud laugh.

"what?"

"there's coffee foam on your lip"

she turned a vibrant pink and hurried to remove the foam from where it had formed a little moustache.

i smiled.

"uhm. what are you writing?"

"lyrics"

"can i read?"

"yeah"

i handed her the book hesitantly. as she read, i picked up my coffee and drank a little.

it may have been an indirect kiss but it was good enough for me.
