"What can I get for you today?"
The words that started every customer interaction you had in the small café you worked at. No matter the season, people would flood in from open to close. Whether ordering an iced refresher or hot chocolate or a frappuccino, people refused to let the little café on the boardwalk go out of business. While you should be grateful for the job security, the repetition of it all got to you some days. Your shifts were filled with the same questions and the same responses in an endless cycle of customer service hell.
"Triple espresso."
"Of course, we'll have that right up for you."
It wasn't all bad, though. You got to meet people and even chat if time allowed. Hearing about people's vacations and plans for the rest of their trip told you a lot about them, and most of them deserved the break from the stress that waited for them back home. Since this spot was quite hot amongst tourists, you even got to learn about many different cultures.
"Just my usual, sweetie."
"Right you are!"
Then there were the regulars - the real gems of your job. They came back day after day, requesting their drinks to be made by you specifically because when it came to the perfect drink, you had mastered that years ago. The excellent conversations were just an added bonus. Your lines were always long but your tip jar was never empty.
What more could you ask for?
A lot, actually, but you would settle for something new.
Something fun.
Something out of the ordinary.
Something like him.
