Chapter One: Captivated By You

'Shit, shit, shit. I'm late.' It never fails, I always end up getting to work late on Monday mornings. I guess staying up til two in the morning binging on TV and stuffing my face with chocolate isn't the best idea before an early morning shift. I race into work and rush behind the counter, ignoring Kristoff's disappointed sigh.

"Anna you're late... again."

I rush into the back room to toss an apron around my neck. "I know, I'm so sorry I promise it -"

"Won't happen again." Kristoff finishes, rolling his eyes. "Yeah, right. I've heard that before. Just get over on the espresso bar so we can start shortening this line."

I nod and tie my messy red hair back and secure the apron around my waist before washing my hands quickly and readying the espresso machine. There's a line of grumpy customers, some in suits, some on cell phones, and some with babies attached to their hips. They all look either disgruntled or exhausted, or both. It's a typical morning here. I bump into Kristoff unintentionally, nearly scalding us both with piping hot coffee. "Sorry, so so sorry." I know I'm blushing because whenever I do he winks at me. The line has slowed down and I smile at the exhausted looking mom who is handing me her money.

I can't help but smile at the small girl holding her hand, hiding behind her mother's leg. I wave and she giggles and waves back. "Have a great day." I smile at the mother and she smiles back. Sometimes it's the smallest gesture, a smile, a cheerful good morning that makes someone's day. Kristoff says that's the only reason I'm made for this job - my cheerful personality is infectious.

The line is finally gone and I sigh in relief and wipe up the counter. Kristoff places a heavy hand on my shoulder and tucks a stray strand of hair behind my ear. I feel the heat of a blush rise to my cheeks. "Great job with the rush, Anna. You're really getting the hang of this."

"T-thanks." I swallow hard as he grins at me.

"I'll clean up around the tables, think you can manage the counter?"

I nod. "Of course."

Kristoff nudges me playfully before taking the broom to go clean up. I know I shouldn't feel this way about my boss, but I can't help but respond. He's just so dreamy - tall, broad shoulders, great muscles, floppy blonde hair, and an adorable grin. He's like a big cuddly teddy bear when he isn't in boss mode. I just moved to Seattle a few months ago and don't really know many people. But instantly I was drawn to this little hole in the wall coffee shop. Eventually, after being a regular customer for weeks, Kristoff told me they were hiring and offered me the job. Being out of work and just out of college I couldn't refuse. It seemed like the perfect place, and it definitely has turned out to be.

I head over to the pastry case to change the food over and ready everything for the lunch rush. The front bell dings, indicating the door opening and a rush of cold air makes me shiver.

"Hello." A light feminine voice comes from behind me. I spin around and suddenly forget how to speak. A woman with light blonde hair and dazzling blue eyes is staring at me with a smirk on her rosy lips. She's wearing a low-cut light blue top and the most flattering jeans I've ever seen. She must think I'm an idiot, clearly I've been staring for far too long.

"Uh h-hi, can I oh! You probably want some coffee..."

She laughs and it's like the tinkling of bells. "That would be nice, yes. Tea actually."

"Of course!" I hurry behind the counter and try not to stumble. I shake my head. 'What the hell has gotten into you Anna. Focus.' Clearly she's just caught me by surprise. It's not like I even like women like that.

She's waiting by the counter, still looking amused with my frantic serving. "Uh, h-here, here you go." I hand her the green tea and take her money.

She takes the cup and her delicate fingers brush mine. I try not to stutter again.

"Have a nice day!"

"You too." She glances down at my name tag. "Anna." She winks before turning away and I suddenly have forgotten how to breathe.

Kristoff comes up behind me. "Hey, quit day dreaming Anna and finish setting up the food."

"Right. Will do." That strange woman left my head spinning and my heart pounding and I can only wonder how such a short interaction can have me so shaken up. Regardless, I've got work to do and a boss to impress, and a long twelve hour shift ahead of me.
