Alex pov
Fuck. This god damn cold is getting on my last damn nerve. Why did I think it was best to move to New York City? I need to get somewhere warm before I catch frost bite or something. I looked around to see if I can spot a restaurant or cafe somewhere around me. And just to my luck I spot a cafe across the street from where I am. I ran over there before I froze to death. Once I walked inside I was hit with the smell of cinnamon and coffee. Hmmm. This day might just turn around for me. I get on line thinking about of I'll have wake up early to go to work.
I work as a web developer for a small company. It pays good and I don't have to go in for work as often since I can work at my house. You can say I'm a work alcoholic, but not one of those boring ones. I can be really silly and funny when I want to be, but only with my friends. People might think consider me as pessimistic or negative. I can be sometimes but sometimes I act like I'm five years old. There really is no in between.
One thing I don't really like about myself is that I can space out easily and not be aware of my surroundings. Just like I'm doing now. Which didn't make me aware of this girl in front of me turn around and bump into me with her hot coffee in her hands. By the time I got out of my day dream it was too late.
"Oh lord, are you okay. I'm so sorry." Butter fingers, aka the girl that spilled her coffee, squeaked as she proceeded to grab napkins and try to clean my shirt.
I wasn't really paying attention since that coffee was fucking HOT as hell. Just I was about to snap at the girl that it was fine, I looked up and saw a pair of the prettiest hazel eyes I've ever seen.
Wow.
This girl was gorgeous. Not the model type of gorgeous you see on tv and magazines. But the type where the girl has a aura of innocence that draws you to her. The type where you can just look at her all day without ever getting bored. She had wavy light brown hair that cascaded down her back, full pink luscious lips,a cute button nose, and hazel eyes that seem to change colors every time you look at them. And don't even get me started with her body. She had a slender body with a flat stomach, curvaceous hips, a pair of perky breasts, and a firm ass. Fuck, she must be some type of dream.
"Are you okay?" mystery girl snapped me out of my day dream again for the second time, but this time with her voice and not hot coffee.
"Yea, umm I'm fine." I nervously said.
Shit, why am I so nervous. Probably because I never been this up close to someone so beautiful. I'm feeling weird too. I'm all sweaty and nervous, I have butterflies in my stomach, and I can't seem to talk in front of her.
"Are you sure. Let me pay for your dry cleaning or something. Please I insist." mystery girl offered. Hmmm. Maybe I can use this to get to know her.
"As long as I get to buy you another cup of coffee."
"No, that wouldn't be fair to you. I'm the one that spilled it."
"It's fine, I was to busy daydreaming to have gotten out of your way in time."
Mystery girl seemed to think about for a few seconds before nodding and turning to give the barista her order.
"Coffee. Three creams and one sugar."
"I'll have the same."
We walked towards a table after getting our orders. This is your chance Alex, don'r screw up.
"So you come here often?"
Shit. What the fuck Alex. Who asks that? I snapped out of my rant with myself when I heard mystery girl giggle. Fuck, that's an amazing sound.
"You know I don't even know your name." She acknowledge.
I blushed as I told her, "My name is Alex."
"My name is Ellie, and yes I do come here often. It's my favorite cafè."
Ellie, huh. Even her name innocent.
"Well it's my first time."
"Oh really. You should try the brownies, they're to die for. Also the their espresso, it really makes you wake up. Hmmm. I really love their chocolate cake too. I just love chocolate in general. Anything with chocolate is amazing. Ice cream, cake, cookies, brownies......"
She blushed as she realized she'll been rambling. She bit her lip and looked down at her coffee. Fuck, she's looks sexy when she does that.
"Please do not stop." I smirked as she blushed.
"Shut up." Ellie mumbled.
I laughed as she keeps blushing. She's just too cute for her own good.
"It's okay really. I'm not much of a talker." I explained.
"Really? A girl like you must have a lot of stories to share." Ellie mumbled to herself but I heard.
"A girl like what?" I smirked.
"You know.."
"No, please do tell me." I secretly laughed as I see I got her all flustered up.
"A girl as beautiful as you." Ellie whispered it so lowly that I almost didn't hear it.
I laughed at Ellie as her whole face turned red. Me? Beautiful? Compared to her I look like a troll.
"You're way more beautiful." I said seriously, making her squirm under my intense stare. I love making her get all fluster up and squirm. I wonder if she'll look like that underneath me, while I'm kissing down her amazing body. Fuck, Alex don't fall for a straight. Last time I did, I ended up with a broken heart. Not again. Ellie's too beautiful to not have a boyfriend, or even a husband. I looked at her hands noticing no rings on the finger. Still, she could still have a boyfriend.
"Really?" Ellie questioned
" Of course. Especially with those beautiful eyes of yours." Staring intently at her eyes. I can feel myself slowing fall for her more, but I didn't stop myself. Not this time. My heart was rapidly beating, my hands were sweaty, my stomach was full of butterflies, and I couldn't even speak at the moment. We were staring at each other like we were priceless art that should be admire for hours.
Ellie cleared her throat, stopping the staring contest, "Your eyes are also beautiful. They're a bluish- grey color that seems have a story behind them." Turning the tables by staring at me intently. I felt like she can stare into my soul, and I didn't like it one bit. I never been so exposed to a person before, I'm definitely not used to it.
"You also have an amazing body." I blurted out.
Shit. Why am I so stupid sometimes?
Ellie smirked and teased, " You were looking at my body?"
I blushed but quickly composed myself, "I mean who wouldn't stare at your body."
And smiled as I saw the smallest blush place on her cheeks. This girl is way to nice and innocent for me. I'll probably end up screwing up and breaking both of our hearts. Considering if she was even gay. I'll better put a stop an end to this flirting before she got the wrong idea.
"So what do you do?"
She beamed at the topic of her job, she must really love it. You can't find many people that still like their jobs.
"I'm an editor at a small publishing company. I read books all the time, and correct their mistakes. I really love it since I've enjoyed reading since I was a child. What do you do?"
A little book worm too, this girl is going to be the death of me.
"I'm an software developer at a small company too." I explained, not really explaining the concept of my job since it's kinda complicated.
"That's so cool! I wish I knew a way around a computer. I have many talents, but computers always seem to be against me." Ellie pouted. Shit, she looks even more yummy when she pouts.
"I can help you if you want. I'll show you the basics to work a computer." I blurted. Fuck, I can't be in the same room as Ellie, I'll end up jumping her before I even teach her how to photo shop. But I realized that it's worth the torture after seeing her smiling so widely, blinding me with her pearly whites.
"Really!? You'll do that for me?" Ellie looked at me with so much hope and admiration, I couldn't say no. I don't think I can ever say no to her, not with that beautiful face.
"Yea really." She squealed, went around the table , and engulfed me into a hug. She had a fruity smell with a hint of mint, she smelled so fucking amazing. I could have hugged her forever, just engulfing myself with her scent until I have it permanently implanted in my mind. I breathed her in deeply thinking how this is going to be harder than I thought.
