The beginning of my another series for me! I promise I'll actually do some follow ups too. Also I am launching a patreon if you have any interest in contributing to me really developing my craft that would be wonderful
As always fantasy and play are not reality always practice consent and respect in all your interactions. I hope you enjoy
Streaks of rain traced lines down the cafe window. The pitter of the rain both manifesting and soothing Jasmine's anxiety. She looked out the windows of the tiny cafe just across the street from the law firm where she worked. Most of the her fellow coworkers avoided this place because of the odd, well kinda dumpy, decor. The floor was carpeted with bright geometric patterns reminiscent of an old movie theater. The walls were covered with photographs stretching back decades of what Jasmine thought were probably customers in evening wear.
Jasmine took in the little cafe. It certainly was odd. But odd meant quite and with the stress of Jasmine's job quite was good. Maybe she could come here and just let her brain switch off. Jasmine approached the bar where a pair of baristas stood talking. They were both seem a good bit younger then Jasmine. Still in their early 20s when looking good was a easy as waking up. One of them, with pick hair and a septum piercing greeted Jasmine.
"Welcome to Bagels and Brews, where the coffee is addictive and the bagels are too!* The woman smiled at Jasmine. "I haven't seen you before, is this your first time in?"
"Yea," Jasmine smiled at the woman a thrum of attraction running through her. "I work right next door but this is the first time I've made it in. Is there anything I needa try?"
The woman turned slightly including the other barista in the conversation.
"What do you think David? You think she'll like the bagels? I'm sorry is it She?" The Barista asked.
Jasmine was slightly caught off guard. "Yes, I'm Jasmine she/her. And you?"
"I'm Matti she/they" Matti said.
"And I'm David, He/him" David added, "and you will love the bagels assuming you have a mouth."
"Welp, gotta trust the experts" Matti said. "Gotta try the bagel, first ones on the house for such a cutie"
Jasmine flushed bright red.
"Stop it Matti," David scolded, than turned to Jasmine. "They say that to all the new customers."
"All the cute ones." Matti said
"Well, I don't know about cute but I'll certainly take a free bagel." Said Jasmine.
David chuckled.
"So what's it gonna be to drink?" Matti asked.
"A dark chocolate mocha with oat milk" jasmine said.
"On it" said David.
Jasmine the finished checking out with Matti, feeling excited and cheered by the flirty baristas. After, Jasmine made her way to a back corner and sat staring out the window.
After a few minutes Matti walked out with the bagel and mocha. Setting them both before Jasmine.
"I brought you some of our house made cream cheese to go on the bagel. It's absolutely to die for." She said.
Jasmine smiled "thank you, I'll be sure to review it for you"
Matti stood there for a moment. Jasmine waited for the barista to walk away.
"I'm waiting on that review" Matti smirked.
"Oh ah, well I suppose." Jasmine stammered.
She spread the cream cheese which seemed oddly viscous for cream cheese and went out to take a bite.
"That's a good girl" said Matti
Jasmine started first at the words then at the sensations as she bit into the bagel. Divine barely began to cover it. Her whole body flooded with endorphins. It took her an eternity to chew and swallow the bite. Savoring every splash of creamy delight against her tongue.
Eventually, she pulled herself back together and remembered what Matti had just said.
"Excuse me??" Jasmine said.
"I said want to be a good girl?" Asked Matti.
Jasmine started flabbergasted at the woman.
"It's our rewards program," said Matti "sign up and I'm get free perks and every 5th bagel is free."
"And it's called being a good girl?" Asked Jasmine
"Yeah, owners a bit weird to be honest but I think he just doesn't know it's context for most of us."
Jasmine calmed a little.
"How was the cream cheese?" Asked Matti.
"It was delicious!!" Exclaimed Jasmine.
"Really think so?" Asked Matti
"Yes!" Said Jasmine.
Taking another bite. Again she was lost in the wonderful rush that hit her when she took her next bite.
"Well I'll leave you too if then." Matti said.
Jasmine nodded distractedly. Matti wandered back to the bar and Jasmine enjoyed the rest of her bagel and the mocha. She didn't notice the music switching from the generic pop to a subtle rhythmic beats. She didn't noticed Matti and David shooting looks her way and grinning at each other. All she was aware of was her melting into the bliss of the bagel and all her cares washing away.
After she finished her food and reverie Jasmine got up. She deposited her dishes in the bus bin and started towards the door. She noticed the open sign was flipped towards her.. which meant. She glanced back and saw Matti on her phone behind the counter.
"I'm sorry did y'all close?" Asked Jasmine
"Oh no! Not at all, David just had to step away and we can't take any new costumers when there is only one of us. One of the owners off rules." Said Matti.
" Ah, I see, well have a nice day! And thanks for the free bagel!" Said Jasmine
"Did you want to join the rewards?" Asked Matti
Jasmine hesitated. She felt a little weird about this whole experience but not bad? She didn't know if she would come back but...
"Please?" Pouted Matti.
"Okay" Said Jasmine.
Matti whooped and rushed around from behind the bar. Here fill this out with you name, phone number and email.
Jasmine was swept up as the excited Barista directed Jasmine to fill in a small forum.
Jasmine rushed through it. Hyper aware of the Matti right beside her. Her left side was nearly on fire she was so aware of it. Matti reached over to take the completed forum. Their hands met. Matti's hands were so soft. The fingers lingered on each other.
"Hey" Matti whispered below her breath.
Jasmine turned. Really close to Matti. She could smell her breath. She could smell her. And she smelled good.
"Want a treat for the road?" Asked Matti.
