Coffee

"Um, Can I have a vanilla cappuccino and a cake pop?" Daphne asked the lady behind the counter at Starbucks.

The lady, her name tag said Joelle, smiled and nodded as she turned around to get the cake pop.

"Really?" A voice said from behind her.

Daphne turned around and frowned at the guy behind her. "Excuse me?"

The guy grinned. Daphne found his perfect teeth, perfect hair and perfect body very annoying.

"That's like the lamest drink ever."

"Oh yeah?" Daphne challenged, "Then what should I get."

The guy grinned but didn't answer. Instead he pushed Daphne away from the counter, firmly but gently, and placed his order. Sadly, it was inaudible for Daphne to hear.

"Daphne, a vanilla cappuccino." Joelle called out.

With one last glance at the perfect boy, Daphne grabbed her coffee and made her way to the table where the sugar, straws and milk were located. As she grabbed a packet of sugar, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the boy grab his coffee and sit down at a random booth.

Being the Daphne that she was, she couldn't help but wonder what kind of coffee he was drinking. Especially since he had made fun of her coffee order. Sighing, she grabbed her coffee cup and found herself sliding into the booth.

"Well if it isn't Vanilla." The guy grinned at her and took a sip from his cup.

"It wouldn't hurt to tell me your name, you know." Daphne muttered.

"Colin. Now what can I do for you, Vanilla?"

"First, you can stop calling me that."

Colin smiled. "No can do Vanilla. Now seriously, what do you want?"

Without thinking, Daphne grabbed his coffee cup and took a sip.

"Woah! Do you always take drinks form random people's drinks?"

"No…"

Colin laughed. "Well, what do you think?"

"It's good….what is it?"

"It's called the Flamingo Cappuccino."

Daphne raised an eyebrow. "You made that up."

"Did not. "

"What's in it?"

Colin shrugged. "I don't have the slightest idea."

Laughing, Daphne pushed it back towards him and stood up. "Well, bye."

He called out after her. "Wait, you forgot something!"

Daphne turned around and scanned the booth for her keys, or purse or something else she could have left behind, but there was nothing there. She glanced him. "What?"

He held out his Flamingo Cappuccino. "You can have it."

Grinning, she grabbed the cup from him and left the store.

She didn't notice the note scrawled on the lid until she was halfway home.

Vanilla,

You know what to order next time. And here's my number.
