It was six am. Six. Your professors had all decided to work against you. But what could you do? You had to wake up extremely early, just to make sure that you finished all your assignments. Most of them were due in two days from today. But you had plans. Which of course we’re sitting on your couch for half the day and then waiting for your friends to call and ask if you were free. But they were your plans nonetheless. You finished your quick get ready, which wasn’t much. You were so exhausted and didn’t feel like doing makeup or anything, you threw on your favorite clothes and fixed your hair quickly and grabbed your bag.
You kissed your cat goodbye. Of course after he demanded that you let him stay on your bed and greet him good morning. He looks at you like you just gave him the biggest disservice of his life just because you left.
As you grabbed your key to your apartment you left to your favorite coffee shop. You figured you’d wake up early, finish as many assignments as you could before you had to leave for work. Sighing you plug your phone into your headphones and listen to music on the short walk. You finally reach the cafe and smile at the smell of coffee. The cafe wasn’t too busy, considering it was six thirty, you would assume more people wanted to get their caffeine fix sooner but apparently it was only you.
You go up to the counter and thank your lucky stars, your favorite barista was working. Quickly you check your reflection on your camera and smile when he turns around.
“Picarona!” He cheers when he makes eye contact with you. You blush and smile.
“Hi Perce.”
“What are you doing here so early?” He asked as he typed away on his POS. You didn’t know what he was typing you hadn’t ordered yet.
“To try and get work done. Uhm, shit, can I get a,” he snickers a little before gently cutting you off.
“You can get whatever you want mi picarona, however I think you’ll like what I’m making you.” He winks at you and you go red.
“Uhm, okay, yeah okay.” You stammer out. He nods and flashes you that gorgeous loop sided smile.
“Go find your table preciosa, ahorita le traigo su café mami.” Your heart stopped right there. There was no way you could focus after he said that to you. Everything he said in Spanish made your heart flutter and stomach turn. You go and sit at the furthest corner of the cafe. There were a few vines on the wall next to you. You open your laptop and take out your notebook and begin the work. As you do this you hear footsteps approach you. You look up and see Percy. He’s holding a cup and is no longer in uniform?
“Here is a toasted coconut latte.” He gives you the sweetest look and gently places it on your table. He sits in front of you. You close your computer slightly and look at him.
“Fuck I didn’t pay. Percy how much!” He looks at you and just blinks. A smirk goes on his face and he lets out a low sigh,
“Ay mi amor, cómo cree! It’s on me preciosa. However if you want to really pay me, could I get a kiss?” You’re awake. You’re positive that your heart stopped. You can’t tell if he’s joking much less when he sounds like that.
“A kiss?” You stammer. He nods, but adds,
“But only if you want to of course.” You’re not sure where the surge of confidence came from but you know that you had that feeling that you should kiss him. You sigh and then nod.
“Okay.” Percy’s eyes widen and you want to capture this in a picture you close your computer and lean forward, he does the same. He leans over to meet you half way. Your lips meet and instantly you feel like your heart burst. Butterflies swirled in your stomach. As you pull away, you slowly open your eyes as you lean back in your chair.
“Uh,” you say, unsure about what you’re supposed to say now. Percy looks at you as if he had stars in his eyes.
“Will you go on a date with me?” You blink, look at him, and giggle.
“Obvio que si mi guapo.” Now you rendered him speechless.
