Hey guys! I was reading some prompts and this was jumped out at me and I thought it was cute and I wanted to write it. It came out as Suspian even though I don't really ship them much but hey.
Prompt: "okay i get that there are no seats left in this cafe but like i am trying to read here no you cannot have this chair my feet are using it thank you very much please get out of my face now" au
She wasn't trying to be rude, really, she wasn't. It's just that after her roommate announced that she was going to spend the 4th straight day in a row skyping all day with her boyfriend, Susan had to get out of there. That's how she ended up in a crowded cafe on a Sunday morning, purse on the table, leaning back in one chair with her feet on another. Honestly there are so many places she would rather be right now but everything else is closed and she'd strangle someone if she had to spend 2 more minutes listening to the never ending I love you, I miss you, I really love you, I really miss you conversations that her roommate keeps having.
Coffee on the table, headphones in, music up, book in her hands. Susan had found the perfect recipe for tuning out the loud mumblings of the other patrons in the little cafe. She hadn't been reading for 10 minutes before the chair holding her feet was nudged and she glared up at the offender with a look that could be translated to "I'm going to kill you if you don't walk away right now" or something like that. As soon as she actually saw his face though, that look quickly transformed into "oh good lord, you're attractive" and then back to "I'm going to kill you" because, hello, attractive or not, he interrupted her reading time.
"Can I help you?" Susan glared at the man.
"May I sit here?" he questioned. Okay so his voice is just as attractive as his dark hair and olive complexion. But still, no.
"Why do you want to sit in that seat? That one. Not any other one in this whole cafe."
"Well because there's a beautiful woman sitting at this table," he began, "and the location is closer to the wall than it is to the door so I won't be able to get out as easily." his lip twitched in amusement as he watched her contemplate his story with a confused look on her face.
"That's not even logical." Susan finally replied after a long moment of thinking.
"It isn't, but this is the only seat left in the whole cafe and I thought if I made up a stupid story you might just laugh and give it to me?" he felt a small pang of hope when she started to smile and then-
"No." she responded firmly. "Nope. I came here to read and I'm going to read. Please go away." Her nose was back in her book before surprise could even register on his face.
Apparently he had found a seat because the next time she looked up was to see a fresh coffee being placed in front of her, the attractive stranger waving from across the cafe, and a note:
Enjoy your coffee (and your book)
