in every relationship, there are milestones.
meeting for the first time
Mitch walked into the restaurant, on a date with someone his good friend Kirstin had set him up with.
His blonde hair and blue eyes really got Mitch's attention, and they were bonding really well.
"You like Beyoncé, too?"
"Of course!"
Except, he had forgotten his date's name.
"You're Mitch, right?" His date asked.
"Yeah. And you are.....?"
"Tyler."
Mitch and Tyler hadn't even realized how long they'd been sitting there, until the waiter came rushing over.
"Hi, I'm sorry about the wait. The host didn't tell me I had a table, even though I should have been watching my section-anyways, what can I get y'all to drink?"
Mitch and Tyler ordered their drinks, and the waiter came back out with them.
This guy is kinda cute. Stop, Mitch, you're on a fucking date.
"Do you guys know what you want or do you need a minute?"

meeting again
Scott had just gone on a run when he decided to grab some coffee. He made his way into Starbucks when he noticed the barista looked a little familiar.
Once he ordered, he asked the barista a question.
"This may sound creepy, but did you eat at La Comida last night?"
"I did, actually." The barista said. "I was on a date."
Scott's heart sank. There goes that.
"But we decided it would be better to stay friends. He was nice and all, just not boyfriend material."
Scott smiled a bit. "I think I was your waiter."
"Oh yeah! I recognize you! Do you come here often?" Mitch said, writing Scott's order on the cup.
"I do. Are you new here?"
"My first day where I'm not training." Mitch smiled. "Your name?"
"Scott."
"S-c-a-w-t." Mitch spelled out loud.
Scott gave him a look.
"I'm kidding." Mitch showed him the cup. "I'm Mitch, by the way."

M: hey! come by Starbucks today? i have a story for you.
S: sure. be there in ten.
M: my shift's almost over. we can go to my place after?
S: yessss.
Scott went to Starbucks, seeing his favorite blonde barista there, as promised.
"Hey, Mitch. What's the story?"
"Okay, gimme a sec." Mitch grabbed two coffee cups, and took his apron off, then grabbed his phone, and walked over to a table, inviting Scott to sit there with him.
"Alex totally has the hots for you." He said.
"Alex is gay?!"
"You thought he was cute!"
