*Author's Note: It is my first submission after years of reading on Literotica, so please be kind. I intend to turn this into a mini series so let me know what else you would like to see our characters get down and dirty with. Enjoy!*

It is finals week and I have been denying my necessary morning coffee because of an absolutely embarrassing crush I have on my local barista. I already have so much going on, the last thing I needed was the idea of a hopeless romance distracting me. However, two exams in and the pressure is really getting to me in any case it wasn't before, and I thought a nice coffee and a walk to the shop would do me good.
No sooner that I entered, her eyes met mine and she formed the kindest of smile to greet me. My heartbeat already fast, she must think I'm such a charity case if, God forbid, she got the slightest of idea. I approached the counter and she greeted me asking if I'll take my usual Vietnamese cold brew. I flustered inside that she remembers and blurted out a 'yes'; totally forgetting that it is literally her job to remember orders, and also forgetting that it's monsoon and I decided on a hot cup of Cappuccino on my way here as it is especially chilly today. Soon the gloomy clouds that accompanied me on my way here began to pour as I sat curled up at the counter stool watching her work in the kitchen behind. She made little enquiries about my exams while working as I made enquiries about her uni and work. Then seeing that there are no new customers coming in the rain, she handed me the coffee and sat across the counter with me.
