CHAPTER 2
God damn it, why did I need to spend so much time getting ready?! Sirius was chastising himself as he ran down the busy sidewalks of the city. "Come on, come on!" Sirius looked at his phone and noticed it was 3:54. He rounded the corner and saw the cafe in sight. Right on time!
Sirius was wearing some casual clothing. Seeing as this was an impromptu meeting and not an official date, he saw no need to be fancy. He was wearing a pair of black skinny jeans, a black t-shirt, as well as a leather vest. He was feeling confident in his appearance.
Sirius stopped in front of the cafe and looked inside. There he was. God… He looked even cuter in real life. He straightened his outfit and patted down his hair. It is now or never. Sirius walked in and waved to the boy.
Remus had some casual wear on as well. He was in a pair of blue jeans that hung slightly loose on his slender frame. He was wearing a wool sweater as well. It was a peach color with a criss cross pattern.
Remus saw Sirius enter and he awkwardly walked over. As if he had nothing to say, or even no interest. Which was not the case at all. "Hi." Remus spoke finally, standing there very awkwardly.
Sirius smiled at Remus and held out his hand. "The name is Sirius. Nice to meet you."
Remus hesitantly took the hand offered to him. "Remus."
Sirius felt incredibly awkward with meeting this guy so far, but did the only sensible thing he could think of. "Want to grab a seat?"
"Sure, I would like that."
Sirius lead them over to a seat near the window and looked outside. "So, would you like me to go grab you a coffee? On me"
Remus nodded shyly "Yes. I would like the butterbeer special. I have had it before here, so they know what to do"
Sirius blinked and just nodded. He had no clue what it was, but he thought maybe he would give it a try too.
Sirius made his way up to the counter of the small cafe and cleared his throat. "Umm. I will take 2 butterbeer specials?"
The man behind the counter nodded at Sirius. "Alright, sir. Would that be everything for you today?"
Sirius looked at the case of sweets beside the counter. "No. Can we also get two cinnamon rolls?"
"Very good. That will be 7 pounds for you today."
Sirius reached into his pocket and fished out some coins and paper. He paid the man and took the receipt.
"We will call you when your food is ready."
Sirius looked at the receipt. It showed him as number 121. Right now they are on 119. So he had a little to wait.
Sirius walked back over to the table and sat down across from Remus. "So… What is the coffee I just ordered us?"
Remus looked up from the book he had brought with him and chuckled. "You ordered it without knowing what it is? A little impulsive don't you think?"
Sirius glared at him "Oh shush." He chuckled.
"A butterbeer special, at least here, is caramel, frappuccino, white chocolate, and whipped cream. It really is the best thing they have here in my opinion."
Sirius licked his lips at that. "Actually it did sound kind of good." Then he heard his number being called. He disappeared and soon came back with the drinks and the cinnamon rolls.
Sirius passed a roll to Remus and a drink as well. "Enjoy."
They got to know each other a bit. He saw that Remus was quite a reserved and quiet person. He did not mind though. Sirius talked a lot and he needed a good listener to mirror him.
After they had ate and drank their drinks, it was time to say bye. "I know this was kind of last minute, but I did enjoy myself. You seem like a nice guy." Sirius complimented the other boy.
"Thanks. I had a lot of fun as well… Thanks for the drink again and the roll. Next time, it is on me." Remus replied, packing his book back into his bag.
"So there will be a next time?" Sirius grabbed a napkin and his pen, then wrote down his cell phone number. "Call me or text me if you wanna hang out again."
Remus took the paper and nodded. "Thank you. Umm, have a good day." Remus, the awkward man had just left the cafe and was on his way home, leaving the starstruck Sirius Black, alone once again.
