Coffee-holic

Hermione smiled once again at the strange little message on the cardboard exterior of her coffee cup. The words:

'If you were a vegetable, you would be a cute-cumber!'

were written in a, now familiar, messy scrawl. As she walked away, Hermione gave one final glance at the counter and saw that the barista was looking straight back at her. On a whim, she called:
"I'm allergic to cucumbers," as she pushed the door open. The other customers in the store frowned, looking to the barista with confusion - who now had a grin spreading from ear to ear.

The next day Hermione returned, making it five days in a row from the same coffee shop. She ordered her usual - caramel latte with a hint of cinnamon - and waited. As she did she took the time to notice the tag on the barista's shirt - Draco. Strange, but unique - like hers. Hermione smiled as she stepped back.
"Hermione!" Draco called, his eyes already on her . It seemed he knew her as well as she knew him.

She collected her cup and said a curt, 'thank you,' before turning and walking out the door. As soon as it close behind her, Hermione's eyes were drawn to the words:

"Do you have a map? Because I'm getting lost in your eyes."

A laugh escaped her lips as she read the line. She took a sip of her drink and almost moaned at how well it was made. She'd have to remember to thank him next time.

This little tradition continued for some time:

"I want to live in your socks so I can be with you every step of the way."

"Are you a parking ticket? Because you've got fine written all over you."

"Did it hurt? When you fell from heaven."

"My doctor says I'm lacking Vitamin U."

As time went on - and the more and more Hermione returned to the shop, she managed to have longer and longer conversations with Draco, and he seemed to pick up her schedule. One day she arrived and he already had her latte ready. This, though, did not work as well as he had hoped, as it only made her leave faster - having no reason to loiter. Draco made sure he never did that again.

Finally Hermione perked up the courage to ask:
"Has this ever worked?"
"Has what?" He replied, his brow furrowing.
"This coffee pick-up?"
"I don't know, I'm still waiting to find out." Hermione blushed at the thought that she was the only one receiving the jokes.
"I think you're close," she said softly, and with that she turned to leave.
"Hermione?" She turned back as he said her name. "You have a beautiful smile, don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise." Hermione left that day with the largest smile and as she finished her drink she realised she had not read today's inscription.
"Can I buy your next cup?" With his offer he had written a phone number. Hermione wasted no time answering his question through a text.
'Yes!' To which he replied:
'Finally...'
