Martyn was your average Starbucks worker. A new Starbucks had just been placed in the centre of the town and naturally they needed staff and Martyn was the first to jump onto the opportunity as soon as it opened. He had been working for about 2 months now and was currently enjoying it. He always told himself that after he finished school and when he entered college he would get a part time job at a coffee shop and Starbucks was the place to be - it was normally calm and relaxing every single day and Martyn loved that atmosphere.
It was a Monday and Martyn was working there again and the door opened and the bell chimed a chime as it normally does. "Hello and Welcome to Starbucks!" Martyn shouted to greet the person who was coming into the door. A young boy (He looked around 21-22) walked in with short brown hair, black jumper and blue pants. He walked up to the desk, "Hello." Martyn said, the boy didn't answer for a few seconds because he was staring into space - well that's what Martyn thought but in reality, he wasn't. He was staring at the menu. Martyn took this opportunity to stare at the boys brown eyes, god they were gorgeous.
The boy had started speaking to Martyn but he was completely zoned out. "Hello?" The boy said waving his hand in front of Martyn's face. "Hmm? Oh sorry... I was dazing out." Martyn replied slightly blushing.
"Oh its fine. I'd like to order a regular sized Cherry Blossom frapp-e-chine?" The boy said. Martyn giggled. "What's so funny?" The boy asked, with one raised eyebrow.
"Oh nothing... Per se, but I believe its pronounced "frappechino." Not whatever you said." Martyn said chuckling. The boy went bright red,
"Oh sorry... That word always gets me." The boy stuttured. Martyn giggled and turned around and said, "One cherry blossom frappechino coming up!" Martyn shouted and started making it.
After the drink was prepared, Martyn moved the drink to the sprinkling bit and sprinkled some pink leaves and some pink decorations on. He then turned back around to face the boy with the gorgeous face and put a lid on, "What's your name?" Martyn asked.
"Toby." Toby replied. Martyn smiled, 'cute name for a cute face.' He thought to himself. Martyn picked up the pink pen and wrote "Toby" on the wrapper and stuck it on. Making sure to include a love heart. He then gave the drink to Toby. "£5.00 please!" Martyn said smiling, Toby fumbled around in his pockets and finally found his wallet and handed Martyn the money. "Thanks chap." Martyn said. Toby smiled and Martyn smiled back, they then exchanged waves and then he left for the day.
The same process happened more or less everyday and sometimes every 3 hours, but Martyn didnt mind whatsoever because Toby was downright beautiful.
One afternoon at around 1:00pm Toby walked into the shop and Martyn didn't shout his greeting like normal, he didn't even notice Toby come in. He was talking to his coworker - Hannah about Toby and how cute he was. Toby came up to the front desk and some other coworker tapped Martyn's shoulder and then pointed at Toby. Martyn then ran up to the front desk.
"Oh hey Toby!" Martyn said. As usual, Toby didn't answer for a few seconds he just smiled. He was glaring at the menu. "I'll have a Tai Chi please." Martyn took a few moments to respond to that.
"Um...what did you just say?" Martyn replied hesitantly.
"A Tai Chi?" Toby replied. Martyn giggled because he understood what Toby meant this time, "Oh yeah sure." Martyn turned around and made a Chai Tea.
This time on the wrapper he wrote Toby's name again but put a heart and wrote his cellphone number. Thinking Toby would understand the picture. "Here's your Chai Tea." Martyn said passing the drink to Toby.
"Wait, I asked for a Tai Chi?" Toby questioned this made Martyn giggle.
"I don't know whoever said it was called a Tai Chi but it isn't. Its called a Chai Tea! Also you should give me a call one time." Martyn said winking. Toby paid and left the building a few moments later.
That night Martyn received a call from an unknown number, "Hello?" Martyn asked.
"Hey. Sorry phone calls aren't my thing." Toby responded. Martyn giggled,
"You're fine Tobes. So how are you?" Martyn replied smiling to himself.
The conversation went smoothly and Toby came to visit the coffee shop as normal. Except, a month later...
They was dating. Martyn confessed to Toby when they went out bowling and Toby happily responded "yes."
