That’s My Coffee
“One tall black coffee!” One of the baristas calls over the soft music of the coffee shop. You go to grab your addiction but when you’re only half way you notice a man with silver hair moving away from you. Your coffee in his hand.
“Hey!” You cry, “hey wait!” You catch the sleeve of his jacket just outside the door. He swings around quickly, loosing the coffee and his hand going to his hip. You see the butt of his gun before you see the badge. “Fuck!” You yelp stumbling back he reaches out and grabs your arm before you can go off of the curb. “Sorry.” You mumble, you just know that your cheeks are pink with embarrassment.
“What?” He grumbles.
“I didn’t mean to startle you.” You explain, “You just took my coffee and I’m running on empty.”
“Well now it’s on the ground so it’s all yours.” He grouches and your mouth drops open in surprise.
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me.”
“Wooow.” You draw out the word in irritation, “Just because you’re some big bad federal Agent doesn’t mean that you can be a dick.”
“That’s exactly what it means.”
“Fuck you man.” You snap and turn on your heel, if you beat him back to the shop you can take his coffee. It seems he has the same idea, following you back into the shop. The bell chimes as you yank open the door. One of the baristas looks up to greet you and then sees the man behind you.
“Gibbs! There you are.” She goes to pass him his coffee when you snag it out of her hand.
“He took mine then proceeded to dump it on the sidewalk.” You tell her before dodging his hand and taking a drink. The barista stares at you, eyes wide and mouth slightly open in surprise. “Thank you Agent Gibbs. It’s been fun.” You tell him throwing him a wink before you leave the coffee shop.
You’re surprised when he catches up with you half a block later. His own cup of coffee in his hand.
“You didn’t really think I was gonna let you call me a dick and get away with it did you?” He asks evenly, he doesn’t look at you, just takes a sip of his coffee.
“I mean, I was hopeful.” You shoot him a grin and you see a smirk cross his lips. “How about I say sorry with lunch?”
“Deal.” He passes you his card and you tuck it into your pocket.
“Later Gibbs.” You flirt then split off from him toward work.
You guess sacrificing your coffee for a date with him was worth it.
