You were a barista with a simple life of solitude and with no intentions of socializing with mostly anyone that wasn't work related...
One day a handsome young man and his friends entered the cafe, they were lovely and polite as can be, but one stoo...
-- After that fateful early afternoon when you had met Mark, you found yourself thinking about the handsome young man in passing as you readied yourself for a long boring day at work. Little did you know the handsome man would soon visit you once again much sooner than you expected... --

The handsome blonde walked in first thing in the morning, a smile on his face just like before. He seemed sort of arrogant with the way he approached you just like yesterday, but he was quite handsome and surely he knew that... He casually ordered the same thing as yesterday and leaned up against the counter, "Good morning Mc, could I get a coffee and a sweet treat..." He gave you a smoldering gaze then added, "Oh and a muffin with a night out with you."
You could not have rolled your eyes any harder as you rang him up, "You're total is $8.56 this morning." You blew off his comment and he again tried to tip you a ridiculously flashy amount, but still you denied it and went about making his coffee and grabbing a muffin from the display case. Mark look absolutely shocked yet again by the way you ignored his advances so vividly, no ever said no to him, let alone completely ignore his advances.
After you finished making his order you placed it front of him at the pick up area, Mark awkwardly took it and sat down while you went back to sit by the paperwork that was being neglected like always, but with Mark around you needed something to seriously bother your time and thoughts that wasn't his appearance... So completing the paperwork was now your priority whenever he appeared. You tapped your pen vigorously against the countertop as you tried to keep your focus on the numbers and letter of the pages, but his admiring from afar still distracted you tremendously...
From his seat he watched you casually, Mark could not possibly help but to wonder how you did not immediately fall for him like every woman before... The looks, the money, or the flirting did nothing for him like usual. The perplexing thought made him over analyze your interactions from the day before and just now, but at that moment Mark's desires formed from perplexing thoughts into a sort of game to him, what would make you finally crack and fall in love with him?
Mark pat himself on the back and took a deep breath, first he will try to be softer when greeting you... No pick up lines. Tomorrow came and went, but just like before you denied him. Again he decided to promise the same thing he promised himself the day before and will continue doing so until you said yes. But that day never came... Each day that came and went Mark changed one toxic trait of himself that he wished to improve, yet you did not budge...
Another day another chance you could let go of your pride and finally take Mark up on his offer of taking you out on a date, but like every time before you would bite the insides of your cheeks, lock your jaw, and shake your head no. It had been almost two weeks now, since meeting Mark, and you had learned a little bit about him in passing, but surely he would be bored of you soon enough...
