A/N: I got this idea from watching the show "Coffee Prince" I only watched a few minutes of it and read the summary so I don't know all about it and I wanted to make this a asorta original spin off of that show if that's possible. Anyways please enjoy!

"Ow!" I cried loudly. Someone had just yanked my hair hard. I rubbed the side of my head and sat up. My alarm was going off and Haru was playing with it. "Oh no!" I gasped, stealing a look at the time. I had overslept again.
I leaped out of my bed and scooped up Haru. I gave her a small kiss on the cheek as a thanks for waking me. "You're such a sweetie." I whispered in her ear.
She giggled and snuggled up against me, burying her head in my chest. I wished I had more time to play around and cuddle with her but I didn't. Today was the second day since I had started my new job and I couldn't lose it already. I set Haru on the toliet as I brushed my teeth and combed my hair. Then I did the same for her. We showered toghther and I dressed myself in my usual kind of a outfit. A plain white shirt that buttoned in the front, a black vest, and black jeans. This time I wore Naruto's shirt. I believed it brought me luck and I would need all the luck I could get today so I wouldn't get fired.
Haru picked out her own clothes, a green mini skirt and a matching green shirt which read "Hug me".
"Alright then." I said, quickly pulling the shirt over her head.
I scooped her up again, grabbed my cellphone, and began turning off all the lights. Haru had packed her own lunch box. She liked to do that sometimes but I always had to make sure she had everything right. After checking out her lunchbox and substituting a few things I scooped her and her diaper bag up and ran out the door.

I was nearly out of breath when I reached my job. I had just dropped Haru off at the daycare a few blocks away and I was already 10 mins late. I pushed the door to the restuarant open and sped inside. I had only taken one step in when someone whisked me behind a statue in the corner. I would have screamed but they covered my mouth with their hand.
"You're late again." Sakura whispered.
I pulled her hand down from my mouth. "I know." I sighed. "I overslept. Has the boss noticed?" I asked.
"Yes, he did but I covered for you." Sakura replied.
"Thank you!" I hugged her.
"Yeah, thank me later." She said, pushing me away. "Get your butt out there now."
I nodded and stood up.
"HInaTA!"
The rough voice of my boss, Satarubi Sensei (we all were made to call him that), made my body stiffen.
"Y-yes." I stammered, looking back to Sakura for help.
"I was just explaining to her Hinata the technic of of flattery." Sakura lied. "It's always important to havesatisfied customers." She added for effect.
Mr. Satarobi frowned and gave me a look. "You almost got strike one." He said before walking away. "Get to work!" He called over his shoulder.
"Right!" I nodded.
"Phew!" Sakura exhaled. "You're lucky, Kite." She said, patting my shoulder.
Sakura called me Kite all the time. She said it was because my mind was always wondering in the clouds like a kite.
I smiled. "I wish." I mummered.

I watched Hinata dump a tray of food into the trash. I saw her frown rub her temples when a girl hit on her. That happened alot. Most girls and guys mistaked her for a guy. I had too the day I first met her. It's because she keeps her hair short and has no sense of fashion whatsoever. When she had set me staright I hadn't believed it. I actually grabbed her chest in the street. It was pretty funny.
I sighed. How badly I wanted her to be happy. I didn't know exactly how to do that yet.
It had been nearly three years since her boyfriend (my bestfriend), Naruto, had died in a car accident. Since then she hasn't been the same. She had met Naruto when she was fifteen and risked everything to be with him. Her father disowned her so she went to live with Naruto who had no family. She became pregnant a few months later and even though I begged her to get an abortion she refused. She and Naruto believed they could handle it, but when Naruto died......
I blew a stray hair out of my face.
Hinata's father still won't have anything to do with her and she's been left to fend for herself and Haru alone. Well, ofcourse I help out when I can. Infact, I just helped her get a new apartment. It wasn't much of a place, but it was going to have to work. I wished she could stay with me, but I still lived with my parents who were skeptical about everything.
I think Hinata had given up on love after Naruto. I wasn't sure, but she hadn't dated or anything. She was only just getting back into reality of life must move on.
"I want her to be happy." I said aloud. "I wish she finds happiness."
"What'd you say?"
I hadn't noticed that Hinata had made her way over to the counter and was standing infront of me.
"Nothing." I said, tapping her nose.

I layed on my bed, tossing bean bags at the ceiling. I had a slight headache from banging my head against the wall a few minutes ago. If I heard one more word about anther suitor for me I was going to go crazy. My grandfather was going insane trying to hook me up with rich girls who happened to be daughters of business men. They were all shallow and boring and it bothered me. Sure, they were beautiful and maybe I could just begin to not hate them so much if I got to know them but I just had a problem with being told what to do. If my grand dad wanted me to like the girl I just couldn't.
Knock knock
There was a small tap on my room door. I was silent.
"Sir," Lilli, one of the maids, said from the other end of the door. "Your grandfather has left you a message."
"Yeah?" I sat up.
"He wants you to me him at Satarubi's restuarant at 7:00pm." She said replied. "He says you won't be disappointed when you see who will be joining you two for dinner."
"That's all he said?" I asked.
"Yes, sir," Lilli, replied.
"Thank you." I said.
I waited until I was sure she was completly gone before I began banging my head against the wall again.

I glanced quickly at the clock. I had only an hour until I could get out of this place. I missed Haru already and I was sure she missed me as well.
"Order 114." Shino said, placing a tray with two plates on the counter. I grabbed the tray and hurrried to the rightful table. There three girls, chatting loudly. The minute they saw me they smiled. "Hey." The brunette girl smiled.
"Hi." I said, setting down the tray. "I hope you enjoy your meal." I bowed.
All three of them giggled.
"He's so cute!" The dark haired one whispered to the blonde.
I forced another smile and walked away. I didn't even feel like telling them I wasn't a guy. I just wanted to get out of here, pick up Haru, go home and watch a movie. No, I could cross out watching a movie. I had homework to do and not to mention I had to study for the exams. And I was really tired. These past few days I had a monsterload of schoolwork to do and then juggling work and Haru along with that was practically impossible. But I was doing it somehow. I was more than counting the days off until the last day of school
I was heading back to the counter when Sakura pointed to a table. I groaned and turned around. A guy with dark hair sat at a table for four. He wore a dark black T-shirt and I couldn't see his pants. I couldn't see his face either since his back was turned to me. For all knew he could be a girl just like me. I made my way over to him, taking out my pad. "Hello." I said, trying to sound cheerful.
He didn't look up.
"Can I take your order?" I asked.
"I'm waiting for someone." He replied.
"Well, do you want to order something while you wait?" I asked.
"No."
I nodded. "Well, I'll be back shortly to check on you." I said, taking a step back. I had only taken four steps when he spoke again. "Wait." He said, lifting his head up for the first time. I could see his face now. His dark eyes looked deep in thought.
"Yes." I said.
"Coffee." He said.
"Excuse me?"
"I want a cup of coffee." He said, alittle louder. This time he looked at me. With one glance he seemed to have sized me up.
"Coffee at 6:59pm?" I asked, not sure of what to think or if I should even be thinking. It wasn't really my business whether he wanted coffee at this time.
"Do I really need to repeat myself?" He asked, a hint of aggravation in his voice.
"No." I shook my head. "Coffee it is."
I began to walk back to the counter when I thought of something. "I'm sorry, but what type of coffee do you want?" I asked.
"Just plain....black....coffee." He replied, holding each word out.
"Yes." I nodded. I began to walk away, when I paused again. Naruto had always said that anyone who drank plain black coffee obviously hadn't tried the good stuff and was seriosuly lacking an imagination. I marched back up to the guy's table.
He looked up at me like I was crazy. "You got a problem?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"N-No, I-I....just wanted to say that we have so many different ways to have your coffee here." I smiled. "I personally recommend a scoop of ice cream, a dallop of whipped cream, and french vanilla coffe mate creamer. You should also try frosting at the bottom it's-"
"Stupid." He finished.
I blushed. I hadn't realized until then he was making a face as though I had said the most horrid thing. "Sorry." I laughed, nervously. "Plain black coffee coming right up!" I said, dashing to the counter.
"What was that all about?" Sakura asked, once I made it to the counter.
"I was being silly." I sighed. "That guy wants some plain black coffee." I muttered, pointing to the guy.
"He obviosuly hasn't had the good stuff." Sakura giggled, grabbing the slip of paper. "It'll be two minutes."
"O.k." I said, taking a deep breath. I grabbed a towel and began wiping off the front desk as I waited for the coffee to be done. The music that was playing gave me a headache.
When Sakura finally motioned for me to come back for the coffee I glanced at the clock and frowned. Time seemed to have stopped. Why did today feel so long?
"Whacaha thinking about?" Sakura sang, sliding the coffee to me.
"Going home." I replied, grabbing the coffee.
"You know it's Saturday right?"
I blinked and groaned. How could I have forgotten? I was supposed to be working overtime on the weekends. I would be leaving at 11:00pm.
"It's o.k." Sakura said, rubbing my shoulder. "I'll pick up Haru at Eight and she can spend the night over at my house. I'll even drop her off at daycare tommorow."
"Thanks." I said, half heartidly. I didn't want to spend a night without my daughter but I really had no choice.
I grabbed practically stumped over to the dark haired guys table and nearly slammed the coffe down infront of him. My stupid actions caused me to spill alittle of it on my hand. "Ouch!" I cried, yanking my hand back.
"You o.k?" The guy chuckled.
"Catch, Kite!" Sakura threw a napkin over to me. We were both lucky Mr. Satarubi wasn't around or he would have had a fit.
I had never been really good at aiming or catching and I missed the napkin. The dark haired guy caught it instead.
"You look beat." He said, looking me up and down.
"I'm sorry." I said, reaching for the napkin.
He pulled his hand back and pointed to the seat across from him. "Sit down." He ordered.
"Huh?"
"You must really be deaf." He shook his head. "I said sit."
"I-I'm working." I said, rubbing my sore finger.
"Just sit, o.k. I want to ask you something."
I hesitated, looking around for any sign of Mr. Satarubi, who would yell my head off if he saw me sitting down. I glanced inSakura's direction but she was no longer there. I finally decided it was safe to sit down.
"Is this about spilling your coffee?" I asked, nervously. "Well, sir-"
"Call me Sasuke." He interrupted, waving his hand in what looked like disgust. It was like calling him sir was a bad thing.
I nodded. I really saw no reason in him giving me his when I wouldn't be speaking to him after this.
"Just from looking at you I can guess three things about you." He said, looking at my hands.
I didn't say anythin least this had something to do with my job.
"One, you're not rich." He began, counting on his fingers.
"Good guess." I said, sarcastically. Anyone could tell I wasn't rich. If I was I would be eating here instead of taking orders.
"Two, hmm...." He bit his lower lip. "you need money."
"Don't we all?" I mummured.
He sort of grinned and looked towards the entrance. Then he let out a breath. "I'm guessing your name is Kite."
I blinked, tryng to remember when he possibly could have heard that when I remembered how Sakura had adressed me when she threw the napkin. "That's wr-"
"O.k," He interrupted again. "My grandfather is going to come through that door with some pretty airhead girl any minute now." He said, pointing to the door.
I was completly confused. Was that my cue to leave?
"Maybe my brain is disfunctioning because I'm about to say something entirly insane." He whispered. He was speaking quickly now.
"Uh..huh." I said, confused.
"Pretend to be my boyfriend."
He was right. He did say something completly insane.
