Coffeehouse
Sunday, 8:00 am

Your hands were on the keyboard, typing down anything that came from your head. Your cute nerd glasses that keep falling off from your eyes. The smell of coffee scent from the cafe and a table full of papers on your desk that was only exclusive for you. This was your second home and workplace in the world. The coffeehouse.

You grabbed your cup of mocha and took a sip on it before removing your glasses and took a break from the laptop screen. You gave a heavy sigh and took a bit of blueberry cheesecake into your mouth.

You are a new writer and you are currently writing a book. The coffeehouse is where you always stay whenever you work although there are so many people who come here, you still chose to stay.

Meanwhile, Shawn was walking down the streets, heading towards the café. He desperately needs a coffee. He has been working on a song for the past 24 hours and he needed a break. He opened the door to the café and the coffee scent was the first thing he smelled.

"Heaven." He mumbled, like how it says 'heaven' in his white shirt.

He ordered a latte and went to sit right beside the window where he could see the busy people walking in the streets.

As he was taking a sip of his latte something caught his eyes. Not something, but someone.

❝ i saw you on a sunday in a café
and all you did was look my way
and my heart started to race
and my hands started to shake ❞

You were twirling a strand of your hair while looking at the screen of your laptop. You were thinking of what to write next. You took a sip of your mocha until it went empty.

Shawn felt his heartbeat go face just by looking at you. Even when you stood up to get some more mocha, he didn't take his eyes off you. Despite many people in the café, the only person he's looking at is you and only.

You walked up to the counter and your friend, Y/F/N, was there making coffees for the costumers.

"Hey, Y/F/N!" You called her. She looked back at you with a smile. She finished off the coffee that she made and called out the name of the person.

"An iced espresso for Sara!" She handed out the drink as soon as Sara came with a thank you.

"Y/N! Came here for more mocha?" She got your cup and started making your mocha.

"You know me so well." You said and smiled.

"You drink like two or three times when you come here and I already memorized what you always order. So when I see you open that door into the café, I immediately make your mocha and prepared your sweets." She said while making the mocha.

"And this is why I always come here." You said and your heard her chuckle. She finished off by putting whip cream on top. She handed you the cup and noticed a guy staring at you.

❝ i heard you asked about me through a friend
my adrenaline kicked in
cause i've been asking about you too
and now we're right here in this room ❞

"And you know what's cool too?" Y/F/N asked.

"What?"

"A hot guy is staring at you like right now." Y/F/N answered and slightly pointed at the guy staring at you. You gave her a confused face and look back to where she was pointing. And it was true, he was staring at you and he's hot.

When Shawn noticed you look back to him, he quickly hot to his senses and looked away from you awkwardly and took a big sip of his latte.

You were caught, Shawn!

He finished off his latte and didn't even feel the burn that was in his tongue because he was too nervous.

❝ i get little bit of nervous around you
get a little bit stressed out when i think about you
get little excited
baby when i think about you ❞

"You should talk to him!" Y/F/N said.

You looked at her and gave her a poker face.

"No way, he's too cute for me to talk to him. He probably has a girlfriend already." You said and got the mocha from her hand.

"He wouldn't stare at you if he had one." Y/F/N said and laughed. You rolled your eyes on her and waved her 'bye' and went back to your seat.

You sat down on your seat and place down the cup. You looked up to see the guy staring at you again. Your heart started to race just by looking at him. You decided to give him a smile and a small wave.

And this hit Shawn so hard in his chest. He felt joy that he noticed you. He gave you a smile and waved back at you.

He just wanted to stay here until you are ready to leave.

❝ yeah when i think about
you, babe ❞

━━☆⌒*.

It was already getting late and you were keeping all your things to your bag.

While you stayed there, you and the guy return glances to each other. Sometimes you would giggle when he almost choked on his drink and he would just make faces. You would feel the heat in your cheeks when you look at him.

You placed the strap on your shoulder and was prepared to leave when you saw a figure going towards you. You looked up and it was the guy.

He had a smile on his face and looked at you. She looks so even more beautiful close-up. He thought to himself.

"Hey," Shawn said.

You gave him a smile and said, "Hey."

He extended his arm to you. "I'm Shawn, by the way."

You took his hand and shook it. "Y/N." You answered back.

"Are you leaving?" He asked you.

"Yeah, I'm going to go home and get some rest actually." You said.

"Want me to go with you? I just live a few blocks away here." Shawn said.

Your heart raised, even more, when he offered you that. You felt nervous.

"I-it's fine, really." You said.

"I insist. It's already dark outside." Shawn said while a smile and sincere eyes. You couldn't seem to resist him so you said yes.

❝ we walked in the rain
a couple blocks to your apartment
you told me to come inside
caught me staring at you eyes
i'm not usually like this
but i like what you're doing to me ❞

You walked together with Shawn, telling stories about each other's lives. You have learned that he is actually a singer. You couldn't stop giggling and smiling at one another.

As you were walking on the sidewalk, you felt a drop of water coming from the sky on your arm. Suddenly, more and more dropped and it became stronger. That made you and Shawn run going towards your apartment building since it was already near.

"Thank goodness, we're just near." You said and panted. You were trying to reach your breath from running. Shawn just chuckled at you and looked at you. You looked back at him and your eyes locked for a while until you blinked and looked away.

❝ i get a little bit nervous
around you
get little bit stressed out
when i think about you
get a little excited
baby when i think about you ❞

"I-I should go now." You said nervously.

He blinked too and became nervous as well. "Y-yeah, you should do that."

You were about to walk away when you haven't even thanked him yet. You walked backward and turned around to see him again. "Thank you again." You said.

He scratched his neck and looked at you. "No problem. I love talking to you."

You began to feel the heat on your cheeks. "I-I love talking to you too." You said. "You're going to be a famous singer one day." You added and smiled.

"I'm not going to miss reading your future books too." He said and gave the smile back to you.

You noticed it was still raining hard behind him and you remembered that you had an umbrella on your bag. You opened your bag and scavaged your hand through the bag until you got it.

"Here." You handed him the umbrella and he took it.

"You sure?" He asked.

"Yes, you know where to find me when you give it back." You gave him a wink and walked away from him, happily.

Shawn just chuckled on your actions and looked at the umbrella. On the side, there was something written there:

when you find this, please contact xx-xxxx-xxxxx and meet in the café
- Y/N

Shawn smiled and opened the umbrella as soon as he went outside. He couldn't stop thinking about you while he was walking.

Well, at least he got her number and he was definitely going to see you again.

❝ yeah when i think about
you babe !❞
