Just My Cup of Tea

Lionel sat in front of Teavana, a very popular tea store as he gazed inside, clearly disinterested in Neymar's conversation as he sipped his coffee

"And then- wait, are you even listening to me?" Neymar asked, staring at Leo as he didn't even notice

"Leo! Dude, are you paying attention?" Ney asked, as Leo shook his head

"I'm gonna be completely honest, I really wasn't listening, sorry, just say that last part again? Something about?" Leo made a face, trying to pick out a word that he heard Neymar say but he was too distracted by a Lovely looking female working inside the store behind the cash register

"It was about my girlfriend cheating on me you dick, but I see your too distracted by sweater girl over there, so why don't you save me the agony and say hi" Neymar said sarcastically

She girl and her hair tied up in a ponytail as she held tightly onto her ash grey "sweater paws" she had the perfect tint of red lipstick the made her lips look so kissable- Leo caught himself staring again

They both stood up as Leo stuck his hand nervously in his pocket as he grasped his coffee cup so hard he feared he would crush it, Neymar grabbed his shoulder

"Wait- you're not gonna walk in there with a coffee cup right?" He asked as Leo searched for he nearest trash can to his right, tossing it in softly

"What coffee cup?" He said smirking as they continued walking in, Neymar waited on the side, and Leo questioned him

"I'll let you have your moment" he said, patting Lionel on the back harshly as he strolled in

The store had an interesting collection of smells. The aroma of fall diffused throughout the small store which couldn't have been any bigger than like 3 bathrooms pushed together. Free samples were everywhere as at least 50 cans of different colored labeled teas lined he walls. There were cast iron tea pots and ceramic neon tea cups that popped out against the dull burnt orange walls. The lights were dimly lit as thermoses and tea canisters lined the wall to his right with clear Windows to see outside the store.

The girl had her back turned away from the counter as he saw her tap her pen to her chin as she scribbled on a clip board checking inventory.

Lionel cleared his throat to get her attention as he rocked back and forth on his heels. He looked back to see that Neymar was giving Lionel his approval with a wink and two thumbs up

The girl turned around and gave a dazzling, an almost sickening, bright "Customer service" smile grin

Trust me, you know what that looks like

"Hi! Welcome to Teavana, how may I help you?" She still grinned as Leo stared at her, completely drawing a blank, he was in a loss of words

She was just so-

Perfect

Like, Lionel thought she was so perfect to the point where it was a tad odd. She looked like a precious fragile little doll.

She smirked and rested her clipboard and pen down on the countertop, resting both hands on her hips

"Ah, I see. First time coming in here? I could understand, it was overwhelming for me too" she shook her head and grabbed a large silver canister of the shelf and carried it into the back while she put her finger up, motioning that it'll be a minute.

As she did that, Leo quickly turned around to give him the 'What the fuck is happening, please help me you dearest friend I will love you forever' look
