----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The bed croaked as Carmela Lee rolled half her body off the bed . The morning was unusually silent, the loud blaring chimes were replaced with the soft ring of silence.

Another ironically unusual thing that morning was the smell of blueberry muffins wafting into her shared apartment.

Carmela put on some shorts and left her small bedroom to investigate the unusual events of the morning.

As she made her way past the living room( a couch and TV) and poked her way into the kitchen, it occurred to her that there were 2 men sitting at the counter.

Hook up?

Carmela looks at her french roommate's tiny twin bed. Her eyes narrow.
That's not it...

Intruders???

Carmela looked around and grabbed the closest thing that could somewhat inflict damage.

The floorboard whined and her position behind the fridge was uncovered.

"Oh hi Carmela!" Jessica Berder, Carmela's French roommate said when she saw her.

Jessica peered down at the hand held vacuum in Carmela's hand and furrowed her eyebrows.

"Did you spill something?"

Carmela looked down at the mini vacuum and placed it by the trash can.

"Uh.. no. It's broken.." She lied slowly.

Jessica squinted.

"Okay.... These are my step brothers Marcus and Jade. They just came in from France." She said, gesturing towards the two men.

The men look at Carmela and vice versa.

Carmela bowed her head slightly. "Bonjour..." an awkward smile made it's way onto her face.

The blonde guy chuckled slightly. "Im Jade. And we speak English." he holds out his hand.

Carmela's face shrivels into a pained smile and shakes his hand. The handsome brown haired man gave her an amused smile before extending out his hand as well.

"Marcus Caron. Our flight came in at 5:30, sorry if we disturbed you."

Carmela sighed, and laughed breathlessly .

"You didn't disturb me. So what are you doing in San Francisco, if I may ask?" Carmela asked after being offered a seat at the counter.

Jessica begins to pass out her award winning (literally) blueberry muffins.

"Im okay thank you- Jade and I are here to check on land we purchased a few years ago."

Carmela nodded.

"There was an incident there at the time we had bought it, so we put off construction for a few years." Marcus explained.
" Have you heard of it? It's somewhat infamous."

Carmela had heard of the incident. How could she not.

"Unfortunately I have heard of it. Two of my family members died during the explosion."

The room was silent. Marcus muttered apologies but Carmela waved them off, she was used to this.

The awkwardness slowly left the room when the visitors displayed the gifts they brought for Jessica.

Breakfast soon ended, the girls said their goodbyes to Marcus and Jade, and went off to the cafe to begin the day.
——-————————————-
"Well that was awkward ..."
Carmela said once at the café.

Jessica looked up at the door sign that now flashed open and then to the long line across the street.

Due to the extreme popularity of the tiny coffee shop, the lines got to the point where small fights would break out every once in a while.

The door chimes rattled and customers began to spill in , shouting out orders and attempting to hold their place in line.

"Iced Macchiato?! George??! Your Iced Macchiato is ready!!!"

An early 30's looking blonde woman with her cellphone plastered in between her collarbone and ear rushed up to the counter to grab her coffee. Carmela smiled sentimentally at the familiar sight.

"Ms. Georgia. Let me help you out." She said to the daily customer.

The blonde took a deep breath and smiled brightly before nodding curtly and signaling for Carmela to follow her.

A sleek white car was parked in front of the café with a good looking young man in the driver's seat. He looked up when Georgia tapped the window with her free hand.

Carmela could have sworn her heart stopped beating when the dark haired man looked at her momentarily.

Suddenly, she felt very bland standing there awkwardly holding the tall woman's iced macchiato.

The young man rushed out of the car to help Georgia into the car, accidentally bumping into Carmela and spilling the coffee onto her white shirt.

His eyes widened and stared at the damp material which was already starting to become sticky.

"Oh, shit. I am so sorry!!" He sputtered, patting Carmela's chest with crumpled up napkins.

Carmela stood there dumbfounded at the gorgeous man patting her chest.

Georgia rolled down the window and stuck her head out.

"Jungkook!!!!!!" She screamed at the dark haired man.

" I am going to be late!!!!"

Her blonde head went back into the car and she started to talk on the phone again.

"Shit shit shit. Okay here." He took off his suit jacket and covered Carmela's now see through shirt.

" Ugh. I'm so sorry!!!"

He gave her a pained smile and ran to the car.

what the fuck??

Carmela adjusted "Jungkook"'s jacket and slowly walked to her apartment which was right above the crowded café.

The door had been left unlocked in case Marcus and Jade came back from their business meeting. Carmela made her way through her empty apartment leaving a trail of damp clothes and curses.

She sighed as she buttoned up a clean shirt , her stomach knotted remembering the attractive man patting her chest. Carmela rolled her eyes and laughed , they had just met and were already at 2nd base.

"Jungkook."

Carmela snapped herself out of her daze, tied on her apron ,and quickly returned to her position.
