Hosuhs POV:
I walk to the cafe a bit more happy than usual. It's been 3 weeks ever since I started talking to that "jay" guy. He seems really sweet. He always orders the same thing everyday and he always, always talks to me with respect. I love that so much About him
My face flushes slightly just thinking of the way he treats me with such care. He had even given me his number! This are going great!
The let down is... he calls me his friend. That's great but... I kinda wanna be more than that. Sigh. Can't do anything about it. I'm still happy with what I've got
Daniel still teases me but fan girls every time he sees us together. I'm so lucky to have a best friend like him. He sure makes me feel more confident
I finally take a quick breath right before entering the cafe. i walk in and hang my coat and walk behind the counter grabbing my apron and put it on
I turn around and head for that cashiers but notice that somethings off. For starters it seems like a really slow day. Second there aren't a lot of employees. Only like 4 other than me. And finally, it hits me. Daniel not here.
I look around a bit and confirm Daniels absence. I wipe out my phone and text him
Me: hey, ur late for work
Bud: oooo yeah, about that...
I roll my eyes. "Typical dan" and I text back
Me:So ur skipping?
Bud: hey remember about.. what, 3weeks ago when I took u home
Me:yeah...
Bud: well I said u owe me one. And I wanna use that now. Plus, it's a Wednesday, how busy can it be? Just take my shift this one time ok? ok. Welp gtg I'm busy with friends. Bye!
He texts. I sigh and put my phone back in my back pocket. I'd usually be pissed but I really don't mind since it is a Wednesday and it's not busy
I put on my smile and order the person in line. I hope I see jay again I think to myself
*insert time skip here*
Hosuhs POV:
I don't get it. I've been working for almost 4 hours yet jay hasnt showed up. No one has walked into the store since 2 hours ago. The drive thru is slightly busy but barely anything.
I sigh and lean on the counter my boredom growing. I begin to tap on the counter and hum some song I heard on my phone this morning. I shut my eyes and rest my head on my hand.
Something taps me on the arm and I gasp. I rub my eyes and look up at who has tapped me "wake up and take my order" I hear a familiar voice say.
My eyesight finally adjusts and its jay! I gasp "jay!" 'Oh shit I sound too excited' I clear my throat "oh, h-hey jay" I say trying to play it cool but ultimately failing
He notices and chuckles "u seem tense. Can I have the usual please?" He asks shooting me his bright smile. My heart clenches and I hesitate "well of course a hot coffee for a hot g- I-I mean... nvm" I say as my face flushes just realizing what I was about to say
Jays eyes widen slightly and a blush settles on his face before he starts to crack up. My face is flushed and I scurry off to give the order the the other employees. I go back to the counter and jay is still there.
We act as if I had said nothing and we chat normally. It's really fun. He tells me a silly story of this one time that he was at school and some guy just started barfing everywhere
I chuckle "ewww. That's so embarrassing!" I say covering my mouth as I laugh. He giggles "I know right? Poor man" he says. I go and fetch his coffee and bring it to him.
He drinks it and smiles. We continue talking. I finally decide to ask "so... u were later than usual today. R u ok?" I ask sweating slightly waiting for his response
He puts on a smooth grin and looks at me "uve been keeping track on what time I'm usually here? Creepy" he says taking another sip of his coffee looking away. I panic "n-no it's... it's just t-that u usual-" I slurr out but he cuts me out with a laugh "I'm kidding I'm kidding. I just think it's kinda cute how u worry over little things" he says as he drinks some more
I blush like crazy but shake my head still waiting for his response. He sighs and shoves his hand in his satchel "I was late," he says struggling as if looking for something "because I decided to run off to the store and get u... this" he says pulling out a cute grey pen with a cats head as the lid (👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻)
I look at it and gasp "aww jay it's adorable!" I say as I take it since he hands it to me. I examine it. It's so cute and smooth
I giggle like a little kid on Christmas "how'd u know I like this sort of stuff?" I ask not taking my eye away from the pen. He chuckles and says "well, I notice that ur always scribbling away in ur note pad and the pen u use is so bland so... I dunno. I decided to get u that. Besides, it suits u" he says
I look up at him finally and say "wow u observe a lot. And, how does it suit me?" I ask puzzled. He rolls his eyes and says "well, for one it's grey and it matches ur silky smooth hair" he says as he runs a hand through my hair "plus, it's cute"
I physically tense up and look down trying to calm my blush down. "Ah ok" I say. I'm not looking but I know that he must be smiling wide again
I finally calm down and we chat some more. Before we know it, it's closing time. Luckily it's not my turn to clean so me and jay decide to walk out the shop. We make it outside in the cold and jay offers to walk me home. I gladly accept
We walk and talk, me trying to act calm but keep accidentally shooting out unintentional flirts. Example: we were talking about how gentle the snow can get up here in Canada and I had to open my big fat mouth and said "yeah. Almost as gentle as ur eyes". I realized my mistake but it was too late. Luckily I don't think jay noticed since he only hummed in response. Thank god
Halfway on our walk to my home it began to snow. I got all excited. I laughed and danced "look jay! Snow!" I said twirling on my heel. Jay laughed and follows. He grabs me by the hands and right there in the middle of the sidewalk, we are dancing. We dance and laugh twirling and running out of breath
After a while of that we continue our journey. When we make it to my house and I unlock my front door. Jay stands there on my porch just staring at me. "Thank u" I say bowing slightly as a sign of respect. He nods and pats my head "goodnight hosuh" he says gently and he walks down my steps, and into the sidewalk again.
I think and think as I see him step down the road. I finally blurt out my thought "w-wait!" I say running down the steps. He stops in his tracks and he truns slightly with his hands in his coat pocket.
"Yeah?" He asks as he cocks an eyebrow ' I love u' I wanna say. 'Please be mine' I wish I could spit out " I-I..." I stutter. "I.... wouldn't u like to come in?" SHIT
He smiles gently and turns around fully now facing me "but it's quite late don't u think?" He says. He's right but I still desperately want him to stay. I think of an excuse but then it hits me "b-but it's snowing. Far too cold, right? Please stay over the night. I insist" I say trying not to sound like I'm begging when I slightly am
He smiles and places a hand on his chin as if he were thinking. He finally gives in "alright. Just this once" he says stepping closer to me.my heart jumps and I run up to him and hug him tightly without thinking "thank u!" I say realizing what I'm doing and I let go
To my surprise tho, he wraps his long arms around me embracing me with another hug "no, I should be the one thanking u" he says so tenderly. I freeze but melt into the hug and wrap my arms around him too
We stay like that for a bit not wanting to let go but we soon do considering it's pretty late and dark and might I add, freezing. We walk into my house and we start the night. I'm so excited
