freaking cold

/ Slight mature content /

Kore:
All I wanted was some peace and quiet before I went home

That's all I wanted.

But no the universe decided that today I shall be locked in the back freezer at work.

(To all the workers who know what I'm talking about I used to work at Starbucks and I know how freaking cold that freezer is. For the sake of this story pretend the cold is manageable and your body system
Doesn't shut down the second you walk in there)

You must be thinking ah that sucks.

Well just you wait.

The universe also decided to trap me in the freezer with the boy I've basically been in love with for the past three months I've worked here.

I remember his first day he walked into work. his curly brown hair was in a heaping mess and his eyes were wide with fear as he eyed down the venti cup in his hands.

"Don't worry young padawan I will teach you the ways of the caramel macchiato" I say jokingly.

I can tell he's absolutely lost and that my other coworker did a terrible job training him.

His face broke into a huge smile. probably due to me being his savior and also the small Star Wars reference I made.

You see at first I thought he was cute but nothing else.

That was until our first non work related conversation.

We ended up talking hours at a nearby Panda Express about starwars.

The way his entire body moves in excitability and how he rambles on about the things he's passionate about is just mesmerizing.

I decided that very night that I want nothing other than to spend the rest of my life with this boy, platonically or not he just seemed so bright and inviting.

I was mid sentence in asking him to coffee the next day when his watch went off.

He looked up to me with sad eyes and hastily excused himself from the table.

since then I've taken that as a sign that any romantic gestures would make him uncomfortable and so I halted my flirtatious attitude.

I try hard not to stare at him and day dream about being with him, but it's just so difficult when he's just so perfect.

And that brings us back to the present.

It seems as if Peter and I are trapped in the back freezer with no one to let us out due to us being the closers that night.

I decide to be the first to speak,

"Well this is unfortunate."

He giggles slightly but I can tell he's a bit nervous.

"This is absolutely hilarious." He laughs a bit more and I join him.

"It's pretty damn cold in here." He speaks again surprising me with his slight vulgarity.

I unenthusiastically gasp "Peter! watch your mouth!"

"Kore there's no costumers here were alone!" He giggles again

I blush because it just accrued to me that we were in fact alone and also just hearing my name leave his lips hurts my damn heart!

It was also in the middle of December and today I decided to be brave and wear a short sleeve black shirt today.

I visibly shivered and rubbed my arms.

"Hey are you cold?" He asks already gripping the bottom of his Freddy cougar striped jumper.
