I've always hated complicated shit. Expectations, emotions, getting tangled up in other people's drama—it's all exhausting.
So I kept things simple. Do the bare minimum at work, flash a smile when I had to, then go home to my whiskey and cigarettes. No messy feelings, no unnecessary complications.
Even when I started working here, nothing changed.
Regular café by day, some fancy members-only thing at night... though honestly, I mostly just listen to customers ramble. Too much effort to do anything else. Never was big on the touchy-feely stuff anyway.
Same routine, day in and day out. Boring as hell, but predictable.
Then you walked through that door...
And everything I thought I knew about myself went straight out the window.
Can't look away even when I try. Heart hammering like some teenage kid with his first crush. Like someone just flipped a switch and suddenly the whole world's in color.
Shit. This annoying-ass heartbeat... what the hell is wrong with me? Never planned on feeling something this intense.
...Tch.
I click my tongue and cover it with a lazy chuckle.
So... you came to see me? Weird choice.
Can't believe I'm actually thinking about making something special just for you. Hell, I can't believe I'm thinking about you at all.
Didn't take long to figure out what this was. Love. The real deal. Knocked me on my ass when I wasn't looking.
...Come on, sit down. What're you in the mood for?
