A Fortunate Accident
This is a Carlos drabble for my girl, McKenna, whose birthday is today. Carlos is here favorite, I think:P haha, enjoy, I hope you like it! :)
You were sitting in your usual corner at your favorite coffee shop looking over some notes for class today. You look at your watch; you still had an entire hour plus before class and you were completely bored.
"Hey Misty!" You call to the waitress, who was also your best friend. "Wake up me up in about an hour, okay?
"Yea, yea sure, M!" She said to you as she rung up the numerous customers coming and going.
You close your eyes and begin drifting. What seems like a few moments later, you were awaken. "McKenna! Wake up!"
You open your eyes and see Misty. "What? I'm sleeping!"
"You're going to be late for class! I didn't realize what time it was, you've got like five minutes!"
You look at your watch! "Crap!" You gather your things quickly, not bothering to throw them into your bag because you're going to be late if you do. You start pacing towards the door, and as you're almost there, you end up running into someone.
"Ouch! Fuck! That's hot!" The person you run into curses.
"I am so incredibly sorry!" You say to the person. You grab a bunch of napkins and offer it to the stranger who you realize is a guy.
He takes it from your hands, "Thanks," he says looking up slightly.
You get a brief glimmer of his face. He has soft brown eyes and a round face. Because he's concentrating so hard on getting the stain out of shirt, his face is crunched together. He has the cutest nose.
Finally, he looks up at you and smiles, "Not in a hurry, anymore?"
You realize that you're still running late. You look at your watch which tells you that you're now five minutes late for class. "Actually yes, I am! I really am sorry about that." You say to him, pointing to the now faded coffee stain on his shirt. "Ay-yo Misty!" you call.
Your best friend looks at you confused.
"Can you give this guy another drink? It's on me, okay? I'll take care of it later!" You turn back to the guy and smile, "It's been my experience that coffee is better when you drink it, not wear it. I'll see you around." You say to him before you run out the door.
XxX
You return two hours later when class was over. You see your best friend as you enter the coffee shop.
"Hey M!" Misty says. "You look tired."
"I am," you tell her. "My professor hadn't gotten there, so I wasn't late. But when he did get there, he was lecturing so fast and it difficult to keep up with him most of the time."
"Bummer," she says to you.
"Definitely."
"So what happened between you and that cutie from this morning?"
You raised your eyebrows in confusion, but then remembered what she was talking about. "Nothing, I just bumped into him and spilled his coffee. You took care of him for me, right?"
She shook her head, "Nope, he wouldn't give me the chance."
"What do you mean?"
"She means that I refused to be served," someone says from behind you.
You recognize the voice; it was the stranger from this morning. You turn to face him. "And why is that?" You ask him.
He smiles at you, "Because I figured I would get to see you again if I didn't get the coffee."
You blush wildly, "No, I'm sure you would have."
He offers you his hand, "My name is Carlos. I didn't really get a chance to introduce myself this morning since you rushed out."
You smile, "McKenna. Sorry about that, I was late for class."
"It's alright, it was an accident. Maybe you can make up to me by joining me for a coffee?"
"I would love too."
Happy Birthday, girl! I love you soo much! I'm so thankful to have found your tumblr way back when I did! Now we're like best friends! Thank you for always being there for me when I need you! I hope that you have an amazing year and that 14 treats you well. Don't forget to have fun while you can! :) Love you a ton, girly *heart*
