Chapter 1: Hello Mr. Attractive
The blinds weren't fully closed and they let in a little bit of sunlight. It creeped in and hit him directly in the face. It was as if he wasn't meant to sleep in any longer. As he opened his eyes, albeit reluctantly, the scene was that of the morning sun beaming into his bedroom awaking him, possibly to do something productive. But fuck it, it's Sunday Dean thought. However, as soon as he did get up, 2 hours later, he was refreshed. While it wasn't exactly Sunday morning anymore, Dean decided he still needed a good cup of coffee. One so good that he could never make himself. At least not with his basic coffee maker. Dean liked the caffeine in basic coffee. That's what it was for after all. But he had to admit, while he wasn't a real upscale type of guy, he loved himself some lattes and cappuccinos and whatever else a Starbucks could throw at him. But today would be better than Starbucks. He was going to go to his favorite local coffee shop.
Dean headed to his master bathroom. His apartment wasn't super fancy, but his job allowed him to live nicely for an everyday type of guy. Dean was a manager for at a gym. He worked his way up after starting as a cleaning guy at 17. He never went to college and finished high school well enough. But working his way up and loyalty, and being friends with the owner allowed him quite a bit more salary than the average gym manager at a highly successful local gym would make. Being Sunday, the gym wasn't staffed and Dean's day off was Saturday so it was basically a nine to five. Regardless of work or not, coffee was always on the agenda. And today would be no different.
After brushing his teeth and minimally putting a comb through his hair just to calm the bed head, he threw on a plain white t-shirt and some light denim along with his staple Nike shoes. It was so nice outside that he decided instead of taking his car, no matter how much he loved it, he would walk today. He walked scrolling through his phone periodically. Everything was so beautiful today. Days like this reminded him why he loved living in San Francisco. Other days with the fog, not so much, but that was a worry for another day. Dean arrived after a few blocks to his favorite coffee shop and low and behold his luck, they were closed. A sign on the door reading:
"CLOSED FOR THE DAY DUE TO ANNUAL SPRING CLEANING. See you all tomorrow at 6 am sharp!"
"Damn" Dean said aloud. Dean pulled his phone back out and searched for more local coffee shops. He took this as an opportunity to try another coffee shop which he hasn't done, bar Starbucks of course.
"Baristas huh. Well at least it's not too far away" Dean thought. He walked his way just a couple more blocks away, following his phone's direction to the location. As soon as he reached the door, he was already impressed. Matte black doors with a minimalistic font to spell Baristas in gold. All in all, it was a very "hipster-esque"place. From the door to the actual shop, it was straight out of Tumblr. And Dean appreciated the hell out of it. Even if it wasn't his aesthetic, he admired it. He walked up to the counter and the barista on that specific register turned around.
"Hi can I get uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Dean started his order and then looked up at the man before him. He was so gorgeous. His face was perfectly sculpted, his hair was in a slick pony tail and his style, well it fit the whole hipster thing. And as stated, Dean was feeling the whole hipster thing. His black apron, the single piece of his uniform, has a name tag attached that read "Seth".
"You okay?" he said. Is that a name? Dean suddenly checked out of his hazy vision that this man took him for.
"Yeah, sorry man I just got uhhhhhh…I'm tired. You know, late night and all or something." Dean once again stumbled after the barista smile while he was answering.
"It's cool. I get it. Ready to order or do you need a couple minutes?" he asked.
"No, I'm ready. One latte to go. Chai and a bagel please."
"Alright, that'll be uhhhhhh well you look like a new customer. So I'll pay for this one."
"No no, please, I can pay. I'll feel bad letting you take it."
"Trust me, it's no big deal. Please, let me."
"Where do I leave the tips then?"
"We don't take tips."
"Well, I'll just have to talk to the manager about that then" Dean joked and smiled.
"You're looking at him"
"You're way too pretty to be a manager."
"Is that a good or a bad thing?"
"It's a great thing."
"Well I'm flattered." The had the coffee handed to him by the barista making the drinks as well as handing him the bagel in a matte black bag. "Here you go, next time you might have to wait on the end of the counter but I'm glad I could personally give this one. Name is Seth by the way."
"So, if I can't leave a tip, how do I thank you other than words."
"You can comeback, if you enjoy the coffee of course."
Dean took a quick sip of his coffee and replied: "It's delicious. Have a great day Seth. I'll definitely be back."
"Have a great day." Seth said.
Dean walked out of the shop, with the 6 customers that were in the back of his line waiting for his thirsty ass to stop the flirting and just leave to get their fix of caffeine. Coffee in one hand and bagel in the other, Dean walked off headed for the park looking to grab some alone time before headed home to be productive or something like that.
"Well Dean, coffee and cute boys. Looks like you've got a new coffee shop. I love spring cleaning." He spewed as he took a bite of his bagel.
