Barista

The second day.

He barely saw her but then it wasn’t her fault. She couldn’t have know that when he said next time, he actually meant the next day. He tried his best to leave work earlier hoping that if he got there the same time as yesterday, he might see her. Disappointed, he  got his book out and started reading.

While taking a break to drink his Refresher, he saw her in front of him. She was taking a break and eating with a friend. He can only assume that guy was just a friend, he needed to stay optimistic. He would wait till she was by the cashier stand to order his regular (a grande latte with a bread) and then maybe he could ask for her number.

She never went to the cashier. Instead she stayed at the back doing heavens knows what. This made his sad but the bright part was he made great strides in the books he was reading. While he read the books halfheartedly, he made a plan for the next day. He will be victorious tomorrow.
