Devil's Tea

🌺Chap One🌺

Addalynn Pov

I walk into the cafe with my uniform on and smile at my friend who stands at the counter.

I join her behind the counter and smile wider "Hey bestie."

"Hey girl." Lece (Lee-C) states "oh my goodness he came in this morning asking for his tea with two sugars and he actually made eye contact with me." She squeals.

This is Lece she's obsessing over this hot guy that comes in. He's always looking at his phone and has a news paper in between his side and arm. He never looks at us which is honestly annoying. Anyways she says she's in love with this man.

I roll my eyes at this crazy friend of mine and chuckles "You don't even know his name and yet your insane for this strange man.. for all we know he could be a murderer or the devil." I tease.

"Oh trust me he's not a killer and mostly he isn't the devil. He's a god." She's signs with content as she's probably imagining his geek shirtless body holding her. "And if he is a killer. He's a killer to the eyes."

I scoff as I clock in and start my shift as she giggles and walks to the back with a skip in her step.

I spent a few hours taking orders and fixing orders.

I dropped a coffee off at a table and hear the bell ring signing someone walked in.

"I'll be with you in a moment." I call out so the person knew at least someone heard them come in.

I quickly head to the cashier counter. "Hi welcome to New York cafe, how can I help you on this fine New York day?" I ask and look up at the man and noticed it was the devil. I already know his order and type it in as Lece never shuts up about what he orders.
"A regular hot tea..can I have a name for the order."

"Devil" he states in a cold tone as he looks up with crystal blue eyes. He stares at me. His eyes capture me and I'm lost for words as my green eyes stare back.

He frowns "Earth to Cafe lady." He states loudly and waves his hand.

I shake my head and quickly types in devil. I guess I was right. He is the devil. "6.50" I state

He hands me a 10 "keep the change." He then walks away and I put the change into the tip jar.

I'vMe lived in New York for nearly five years now.

I moved here after high school. I fell in love with this place when I came here for a school field trip. What type of school does a New York field trip. Drama club. I was always doing random clubs as I was not allowed to play sports growing up and besides I heard if your in many clubs it looks good on applications as it shows you can work with different types of people and when you work in a cafe or anywhere different people come and some are nice while others are rude like the r. devil that just walked away.

His tea order was ready and called out the name he had used for the order "Devil"

Many people looked at me like I just sinned for speaking the word. I remember someone's order came out to be 6.66 and they freaked out on me.

He came up and took his tea and gave me a smirk. I gave him a weird look as to why he was smirking at me.

My friend walks up to me once he walked away and she starts squealing.

I look at her and laugh cause I knew she was happy that the devil was here.

"He's so hot. I wanna ask him out but I'm terrified… Will you do it for me?" Lece states with hopeful eyes as she clings to my arm shaking my body slightly. "Please please please." She begs dramatically as she knew I would say no.

The devil maybe be a geek looking man with mesmerizing blue eyes but he was still a rude cold man.

I look to the man or so called devil then back at my friend.

"Wasn't he already here earlier?" I ask with a strange look.

"Yes.." Lece states but then her eyes widen as she gasp "IT'S A SIGN!" She screeches

This caught many eyes and maybe a little hearing damage as it was right in my ear.

"I'll do it if you stop screeching like a banshee." I frown at her

She giggles and hugs me tightly. I pull away from her and sign as I head to he table the Devil sat at.

I sat down and look at him.

"Hello Devil." I say not really knowing if that's his real name or not.

Devil signs and looks up from his news paper. "What do I own this great pleasure of being distributed by a woman of your social class?"

I frown "excuse me?"

Devil laughs and sips his tea.

His laugh was oddly beautiful, music to the ears beautiful but he was still rude.

"Now what do you need so I can move on with my life and you can get back to work before your fired." He says and leans back in his chair.

I roll my eyes and place my elbows on the table and weave my fingers together and place my chin on my weaved fingers. "I'm here on behalf my friend. She wants to date you."

"Why didn't your friend come over here." He asks as he leans forward interested in the topic but also looked annoyed.

"She's shy and I owe her a favor." I state which is true as last week she took my painful 10 hour shift as I was ill.

"Was your friend the screaming banshee?" He asks with a smirk on his face

"Sometimes, but she's just a happy person." I stated

We both looked at Lece who was smiling and laughing like a little kid as she helped a family order.

"No" Devils face went to a straight line.

"No?" I ask frowning

"No" he states sternly as he gets up and folds his news paper and leaves the table and cafe all together.

I sign and stand up. Great how the hell am I going to tell her.

I walk back to the counter and smile at my friend as she looks at me with happy eyes. "So by that smile I'm guessing I have a boyfriend."

I bite my lip and think of something quick. "Not quite… he said he'll think about it and get back to you tomorrow." I state.

Oh lord save me from this sin.

She squeals and hugs me and went back to work.

I breath out a sign as I close my eyes for a moment. Shit just went up the creek or say I say up the creek without a paddle.
