Afternoon Coffee

It was a few minutes past noon, the sun shining through the glass doors of the small cafe as a placid vibe filled the atmosphere. Business was slow and the barista behind the counter was the only one working there. She'd considered leaving work and closing up early a few times due to the lack of customers. But instead decided against it, in case someone actually chose to come in.

She was standing behind the counter, staring at her phone, not paying attention when the doors opened and someone walked into the cafe. The barista looked up from her phone and saw a girl standing in front of the register. She was about to ask the girl for her order, but the barista was at a loss for words at the sight in front of her. The customer had long light-brown hair, beautiful bright blue eyes that reminded the barista of the ocean, and tan skin.

Noticing that the employee was staring, the girl tried to get her attention. "Uh, excuse me....Morgan.", the customer said, reading the name tag on the barista's uniform,"Can I order?"

At the sound of the girl speaking to her, Morgan quickly composed herself and went over to the register. "Sorry about that, I got a bit distracted. How may I help you?", Morgan asked, pen in hand, ready to write her order.

The girl stood there for a moment, thinking. Morgan patiently waited as the girl decided, taking the time to admire her features more. Only to have her thoughts interrupted by a voice speaking to her.

"Surprise me.", the girl told Morgan, smirking as she responded and earning a laugh from the hazel eyed barista.

While shaking her head, a smile still plastered on her face, Morgan asked,"May I get a name for this 'surprise' order?" She looked at the blue-eyed customer, the barista smiling more as the blue-eyed girl tapped her chin with her index finger in thought.

Soon she smiled triumphantly and said excitedly, "Call me Meghan Fox."

Morgan looked at the girl in front of her like she was crazy, "Meghan Fox? That's what you came up with?"

'Meghan Fox' nodded her head, the cute enthusiastic smile on her face. Morgan not really wanting to question the girl, just wrote the name on a cup and went to make the girl's order.  

The barista handed the blue-eyed girl the drink once it was done, and watched as she took a sip. Her face lit up as soon as she tasted it, "This is really good. What's in it?"

Morgan smirked jokingly and leaned towards the other girl, then whispered,"It's a surprise."

Morgan stepped back, still smirking. The two looked each other in the eyes before the blue-eyed girl nodded slowly and smiled,"Well played. I like you, Morgan. Also, I will be back for another one of these 'surprises' someday. See you around."

She walked to the glass doors of the cafe, drink in hand. Just before she walked out, the barista quickly said, while trying to keep from smiling so much, "See you around, 'Meghan Fox'."

The blue-eyed girl then left, leaving Morgan alone, standing behind the counter of the small cafe, waiting for the time 'Meghan Fox' would come back.

She was about to go clean some tables to kill time, when she noticed something on the counter. It was a piece of paper that read, "My name is actually Laura by the way. Until next time, Morgan. ;)"
