I took a few books downtown and eventually wandered into a small coffee shop. I wasn’t sure what to order, and when I suddenly looked down from the menu into your gorgeous eyes behind those oh - so - effortlessly - cool black rimmed glasses I had no chance. I awkwardly ordered a Naked Juice and commented on the arbitrary Spanish music playing in the shop. “It’s better than the elevator music we’ve had in here for a while” you said with a smile. I sat down at an empty table and did some reading and wrote on quite a few napkins since I was without paper. I caught you looking at me quite a few times. I even asked your co - worker what your name was claiming that you looked “familiar” … “do you know him?” she asked. I shook my head and she playfully said “do you want to?” I wish I had said yes but I could only smile and look away as you moved closer to us and my red cheeks. After an hour and a half I gave up and left … were we both just awkwardly shy or were you simply not interested? I guess I’ll never know. Thanks for making my night much more interesting.
