Cute girl at the cafe asks you out

Transcript

Oh, really? These are a new addition? I'd love to be the first taster then.

No, no, that'll be all for today. Thanks Lucas. If you're eyeing the danishes, I say go for the strawberry cheesecake.

My apologies, I didn't startle you, did I? Good, good, I'm glad. Oh, right, my suggestion.

The danishes are delicious. Just sweet enough to satisfy any cravings you might have, but not so sweet that you can't appreciate the taste, if you know what I mean. However, if you're not a danish person, perhaps the muffins would be a better fit.

Hey, you didn't hear this from me, but chocolate chip is my absolute favorite. What? Do I work here? No, no.

Gosh, it does seem like I'm self-pitching to you, huh? Let's start over then, yeah? I am Alicia.

Yes, yes, I know. How awfully formal of me. But I was once told that a good handshake is the start to any good friendship.

And yours? I see, it suits you. Yeah, it does.

You know, you're actually really- Wait, my order is ready. I'll leave you to ponder your options then. Before I go, I have some more time to spend here.

I have an assignment to work on, and I'm feeling dead bad, truly. But I'll be over by the bookshelf if you wanna join me. Only if you want to.

Just thought I'd extend the offer. Alright. I see you made your way back to me.

No, no, I don't mind. I did extend the offer to you, didn't I? Louise, sit.

As you can probably tell, I'm not being very productive currently, so some company like yours would do me a great deal of good. So, tell me, what made you choose this cafe? I see.

You passed by it a couple times, and it finally piqued your interest enough to try it. I understand that. Me? I have a similar story.

So, I was trying to get back into reading at the time. I kind of fell out of it with school. You know, having to do all of those essays and readings and all of that work.

It kind of just made reading feel immature. I didn't want to read just to read. I wanted to read to experience, you know? So I kind of drifted away from it.

But I remember what I used to feel when I read, so I decided that I would start my reading journey again. What about you? Are you a reader? Sometimes.

Well, perhaps we could give each other some recommendations, huh? Yeah, I think I'm quite old. I did give you page two recommendations, and I see you took one of my offers.

Right, right, yeah. My story. So, like I said, I was looking for books.

And I passed by, and I saw this bookshelf. And I thought to myself, this might be a really nice little bookstore, and I might just be inspired, right? So, I peeked in.

And at the time, I didn't even know that it was a cafe. And the smell. Oh my goodness.

The smell. They had just taken out the pastries right out of the oven, so they were fresh, and they smelled delicious. You know, it was enough to reel me in.

Hook, line, and sinker. Is it obvious I'm a bit of a dramatic? No, really? I thought it was surely obvious.

Oh, you're so silly. You know, you're very entertaining to be around. Yeah, I have not laughed nearly as much in a while as I've laughed with you.

Are you say, really a comedian? No? Okay, don't tell me.

Perhaps a magician, then? Really? Okay.

How about a witch? A warlock? Perhaps a sorceress or sorcerer? No, none of those.

Shocking. Well, you've certainly charmed me, so I assume you must have some prowess in the magical arts? Uh, right, yeah.

Oh, that's my alarm. Yes, I do have to go, unfortunately. I'm leading a study group today.

It wouldn't be very lively of me if I didn't make it on time, and this alarm was for me to make it on time, because I'm sure if I didn't leave now, then I would be late, and they might have my head. I know, right? So scary.

But, um, hopefully, I'll see you around? Alright, looks like I'll be taking my leave, then. They seem so nice.

I'd really like to talk with them more. You know what, I should actually- Sorry, but could we exchange contacts and phone? Hello? You're on the way? Yeah, I'm already here.

Okay, you caught me. I just walked in. That darn bell.

Yeah, I made it here earlier than you. You know me. I had to get our usual spot.

Oh, it definitely is our spot. We've trademarked it, copyrighted all of the ownership. ..

things. Uh-huh, I was able to get it, actually. But, you know, um, I don't- something feels out of place.

What is it? Well, okay, there's this chair, right? And it seems kind of sad.

Yeah, yeah, I think- I think that it misses you. A lot, actually. No, the chair is not a metaphor for me.

Gosh, you know, I don't miss you at all. I'm just thinking maybe that you should get here quicker so that the chair doesn't miss you so much. Not me.

Definitely not. Okay, we'll be safe because it is raining. So, um, yeah, I'll see you in a bit.

Howdy there, stranger. What, you don't like my accent? Okay.

Okay, whatever. How are you? Hmm, that's great.

Me? Well, I'm even better now that you're here. Oh, how my rainy day has been filled with such sunshine.

The silence interrupted with such a melodic voice. The loneliness. Huh.

Okay, okay, I'll stop. I'll stop. The dramatics are very dramatic this time, though.

Here, sit. Oh, actually, don't worry about ordering anything. Why? Well, I may or may not have ordered for the both of us.

Well, when you said you're on your way, I just figured I'd save you the hassle. Because I was already here and you would have been here in a couple minutes and it just would have made sense, right? I got your usual.

The order should be correct. It is correct, right? I mean, the two of us, we're like creatures of habit, so I figured you would get the same as always.

Unless you didn't want that this time and I probably overstepped. No, no, I definitely overstepped. I am so sorry.

I just wanted to do something nice for you. But I should have checked in first. I am sorry for assuming and.

.. Okay, okay, go breathe. Breathing now.

You're not upset? Really? Are you sure? Because it wasn't my intention to just assume things for you.

Truly. Okay, good. I'm glad you don't mind.

How do I remember your order? Um, well, we meet up a couple times a week and I just noticed that you get the same thing pretty much every time. Yeah, it is specific.

I don't know. It wasn't that hard to remember. That's also to say that I remember all the things about you.

Like how when you're nervous, you kind of, uh, you play with your fingers. Don't worry, I do the same with my thumbs. Don't worry, I do the same with my thumbs.

Or how there's this very subtle but very distinctive difference between when you enjoy something and you dislike it. It's how I kind of know what to recommend to you and what not to recommend. Just, you know, little things.

Nothing too big. Okay, well, the truth is, you're very captivating, if you don't mind me saying. What? You are.

There's no need to be so bashful. It is only the truth. I've actually missed us meeting up.

I know we've both been busy lately, so our coffee dates have been a little. .. what's the word? Lacking? Sparse? Non-existent? Early there? Well, I appreciate that so much.

It makes me really happy to hear that you enjoy things all the same. Oh, nothing. I'm just in my head a bit.

Don't worry about it. Right, right. Okay, you are right.
