"A cup of coffee"
Author's POV
(Friday- 3:27pm)
It was 3 in the Afternoon and school has already Ended.
There walking to a Café was a girl listening to music on her headphones.
She was a Waitress at a well known Cafe here in gotham.
And she would be courted by young gentlemen at her work place.
Well who could blame them?
She was the typical 'Beauty'
She was cheerful, smart, optimistic, hot and etc.
Well thats what the young men said.
As the young girl went to her part time job she would sometimes sing along the way with people noticing her beautiful soft voice.
I met you in the dark
You lit me up
You made me feel a though
I was enough
We danced the night away
We drank to much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up.
She would sing this song so often that it became a habit to her.
She still sang it so gracefully that people started to record it.
The H/c headed girl finally got to her destination.
A familiar bell rang in her ears as she entered her work place.
"Greetings!" Her Co workers said.
"Hey im back!" The young girl said as she took in the familiar scent of baked goods and coffee.
"Hey Y/n great your here! We have alot of orders today!" Her other Co worker said.
It was a total of 4 waiters and 3 waitresses that includes Y/n
With a another total amount of 25 customers all lined up in the cashier.
Some are already seated in the comfy chairs and eating their goods.
The H/c-ette girl went to the staff room and changed her clothes and putting away her stuff in the provided locker.
"I coming! Just let me put on my apron." The young petite girl added her last accessory for her uniform and went to the cashier.
"Ah Y/n! can you do the Cashier while i serve the other Food?" Her Male Co worker said while grabbing the tray and going to a table full of teens.
"Sure" she replied.
"Hi welcome to our Cafe! May i take your order?" The girl said to the next coustomer.
"Yes, can i order you? Because you look so sweet" the Customer said.
He looked like her age but wasn't her type.
And behind him is what seemed to be his crew or gang.
"Um sorry Sir but we don't have an Order that has 'ME' on it mabye go to another Café" the Female said with a cheeky smile plastered on her face because of her remarkable Comeback.
"Ohhhhhh"
"Daaaammnnnn!!"
"You just got burned Nathan!!"
"BOOM STRUCK DOWN BY A GIRL!"
'Nathan's Crew' Said.
The young boy glared a them and there laughing faces then walked out the glass doors.
Saying a line of Cursed words and such.
'He deserved it' the young female thought.
Then the day went on.
She went to tables here and there.
Served her Classmates and Friends since they know where she works.
She would still get some compliments from other people like:
'Your hot for a Waitress'
'You look SMOKIN'!'
'What a pretty little child'
'Thank you kind Waitress."
She would smile at some compliments and say 'thank you' but in the others.....
She would just shrug and live on her day at work.
Her shift was soon to end but there was one thing missing....
Him.
'Who is him?' You might ask.
Well its the guy that would order the same thing everyday and just stay in one place using his laptop for some research and such.
'RING!'
"Greetings!" Her and her Co workers say in unison.
It was Him, the guy she thought of.
'Tim Drake' she thought while look to his way.
"Hey want the usual?" The girl said while she smiled at him tenderly.
"Oh hey Y/n yes i want the usual." He said as he waved at the girl.
"Aright then." She started preparing the usual.
Tim would always be here before closing time to get his 'Usual' order, that consists of Black coffee with no cream nor sugar and 2 crossiants.
She also has it all prepared in a fridge.
She has been working here since 2 months ago.
Two days after her first day she would notice this young boy come often to this Café.
She asked her Co workers about Him and They say that he has never came here before and he only showed up just after she applied here as a waitress two days after her first day.
She didn't mind it at all really but she would think its quite... Cute.
She admits it.
She has a small crush on the ravenette Boy.
But.....
He has a Girlfriend...
'How does she know?' Well sometimes Tim would bring a girl here with Blonde hair and would act so sweet.
Her name was Peper. (A/n: Sorry if its yur name)
Tim had introduced her to you 1 month ago.
So she knew that she wouldn't have a chance with him.
She Finished The order and Grabbed the tray of goods.
"Hey Tim here is your order!" She said placing them one by one.
"Oh thanks!" He said as he looked away from his laptop and looked at her smiling.
She was about to leave when she was stopped.
"Wait! Y/n are you still busy?" he said resting his elbows on his lap and his head on his hands.
"Ummm" she lloked around a bit to see no one was ordering at the moment then continued "no, im not that busy"
She said looking at him again.
"Great! Is it ok if you stay with me here a bit? We could chat and get to know each other." She looked at him again and hesitated.
'He has a Girlfriend!' She Thought.
'But it wouldn't hurt to try..' she got out of her gaze and looked at Tim again.
"Sure i got time!" She sat down in the opposite from Tim and Chated away.
"So you mean you haven't seen 21 jump street but you've seen 22 jump street?!" She wheezed at him and laughed.
"What's the problem with that? Its not like its the end of the world!" He also laughed with her.
"I just imagined you looking clueless when you see the sequel but not the first one!" She wheezed again.
They both laughed but it was soon cut short buy a Phone call.
It was Tim's Phone.
He looked at the Caller ID and slided it to the accept button.
"Hello?" He started.
"What?... Again!... ok hold on i will be right there!" He pressed the 'End Call' button then looked at the young waitress with a pleading and sad look.
"Its ok I understand, we where going to close up anyway. We can finish this tomorrow." She said genuinely.
"Ok im so sorry again" he said as he tried to pick up his stuff and standing up.
But a paper flew out of his bag.
"Oh i will get that." She said reaching for it.
"Oh no i will get that." He also said while crouching down and also reaching for it.
I know this sound's Clichè but it still happened.
Once they reached for the paper their hands touched and the looked at each other.
They felt a spark that Tim nor Y/n could understand.
"Umm" He started as he got the paper and blushed a bit as he stood up and rubbed the back of his neck.
She also stood up and blushed then dusted the Imaginary dust on her uniform then looked at Him again.
"So same time tomorrow?" He said looking down at her since she was a bit shorter than him.
"Oh um sure! See yah Tim!" She smiled at him sheepishly and tenderly.
"Bye!" He said waving opening the glass door.
"Oh um bye!" She said back.
Tim left and Y/n still had that blush on her face day dreaming about him.
It was finally closing time and her Co worker offered to close up for her since He still has some restocking to do.
She nodded then gathered up her things, changed her clothes and wore her Headphones again listening to a different song.
I had a dream the other night
About how we only get one life
Woke me up right after 2
Stayed awake and stared at you
So I wouldn't lose my mind.
She sang softly.
What she didn't know is that there was someone following her.
Not 1 but 4 people.
She didn't hear it since she was still singing.
"Hey pretty girl.. want to Dance?~" said what seemed to be a familiar voice.
She removed her headphones and looked behind her to see 3 people.
And one of those people was one of her customers.
'Nathan' she thought.
She looked at him with disgust.
"So hows that smart ass mouth? Still has shit caught on it?" He said sounding drunk.
"Uh depends on how stupid you are." She said cockily.
"Why you!" Nathan and his crew started going near her.
'Who and Where's the 4th person?'
Well he is there above the roof observing from afar.
'Red Robin'
Yes it was the fearless and muscular Red Robin.
He gracefully went down and yelled at the Trio.
"Hey! Did you know that Women are meant give love and not beat up?" He said putting his hands on his hips.
Red Robin started to punch all the young men while the Terrified Female watched.
She was Petrified.
She stood there watching the Vigilante beat up the young men.
After that was cleared Red Robin looked at her.
"Ms. Are you ok?" He said sounding worried.
"Uh y-yeah I'm -I'm fine... jus- just a-bit scared" Red Robin understood her state and hugged her lovingly.
Its true...
The Red Robin AKA Tim Drake had feelings for this girl.
But...
He has another one.
So he had to choose but he couldn't.
He loves them both dearly.
So he just became a 2 faced person.
#1: Tim Drake:
•Nerd yet Cute personality.
#2: Red Robin:
•Mysterious yet Handsome Vigilante.
He became this 2 faced person ever since he saw Her.
'So he kept on going'
"Miss let me take you home." The muscular Vigilante said as he carried her shaking stated bridal style and jumping from roof to roof.
He started to doze off a bit thinking of a way to free himself from the clutches of guilt for the love of 2 females.
He finally got to the young girl's apartment and went in through the window.
"H-how do y-you k-know where i live?" She stuttered still alittle bit shaken up from the encounter.
He didn't know what to answer he just looked at her and kissed the top of her head setting her down in the couch, while disappearing witgin a blink of an eye.
All that was left was an open window sill with moonlight shining from it.
She was awestruck.
@NextDay@
Y/n hasn't went to the Café for today since she was still traumatized from her encounter with Nathan.
So she called work and said she was sick. (Lies)
She was just there sitting on the window sill where Red Robin entered last night.
Up until now she was still day dreaming about the young vigilante.
His shiny Raven hair, his chiseled jawline, his voice, and his soft lips.
She still can feel his lips on her forehead, slightly rubbing it.
She was so confused.
'Does he care about me... or better yet L-Love me?' She thought while her face and ears turn pink.
'He would love someone like me....'
'Im a nobody....'
She looked down at the alleyways and roads to see if there was something to distract her from her thoughts.
*Knock! *Knock!
She heard from her door.
She lazily got up from her comfy position and dragged herself to the door.
When she opened it... she saw....
Tim Drake....
With red puffy eyes.
"T-tim!? What happened? And um. How do you know where i live?" She asked shocked and concerned.
"Well... ummm you see..."
[FlashBack]
Tim's POV
I was walking to my favorite Café where Y/n is.
After i saved Y/n i still was confused on who to love since they both stole my heart.
So... since she has been with me for 4 years i chose.... Pepper.
So i walked with her to the Café.
She was hugging my arm looking a bit scared and nervous?
I just shrugged it off.
You see Im feeling very happy today.
'Why?' You May ask.
Well i was planning on proposing to her in the Café.
And i planned it really well.
My brothers and the Demon spawn said it was a bad idea for me to propose in an early age of 17, but it was final.
We finally got to the Café and i was so excited and a bit nervous.
'What if she doesn't like the ring?!'
'What if she Doesn't accept it?'
'What if she had second thoughts?'
'What if-'
I cut myself off from the Negative thoughts and opened the door for my love.
'She looks so Nervous?' I thought as i pulled the chair back and pushed it again.
"So um... do you want to order something Love?" I said grabbing her hand across the table. But she jerked her hand back and placed it on her lap.
"U-umm no- I-i need to tell you something Tim- I...." she did not speak anything further because i cut her off momentarily asking for the staff to bring the customed cake that i asked for them to make.
"Hold on love, i will just give you something."
The waiter gave the cake and set it down infront of my 'Soon-to-be-wife'
'Or so I thought'
The cake had decorations on it and had words spelled:
'Will you Marry me?'
She looked taken aback.
Then she looked back at me horrified.
"Pepper Sanchez, we have been together for more than 4 years and. I just want you to have the rest of my life until I die... so will you make me the happiest man ever and Marry-" i grabbed the ring from my pocket and kneeled on one knee.
It attracted alot of people's attention.
"Stop." She said
"I-i can't do this anymore Tim. Im sorry... but.... I don't love you anymore." She said looking at me straight in the eye.
The people were shocked but i was petrified.
Those words stung me like Damian's Katana.
"W-what?" I asked unsure looking at her with disbelief, standing up wanting to tear up a bit.
"Im sorry.... Goodbye Tim Drake." She stood up and left.
Then she left me with people who felt sorry about my situation.
I sat on the chair again and slouched rubbing my temples, blocking the tears that where forming.
I needed someone to talk to...
Someone who i could trust...
'Y/n' i thought as i remebered her face.
I called one if the waiteresses and asked about her.
"Sir, im sorry but Y/n called in sick today..." she said.
I understood her statement an went to her apartment crying a bit.
[FlashBack Ended]
Author's POV
the young male had to lie about how he knows where she lives and the young female let him in.
He just told her that her friend told him where she lives. (Lies)
He told the whole story to her and she felt pity for him so she hugged him.
When she hugged him he instantly hugged back and cried on her shoulder.
She didn't really care about her now soggy shirt.
All she knows is that he needs her more than anything right now.
"Tim... its ok i understand.. Look if its ok with you lets just watch a movie to get your mind off of it." She offered and he agreed anyway.
He sat on the couch waiting for the H/c Headed female to return with snacks and drinks.
He felt a bit better since he knows that someone cared for him.
=Timeskip=
Days and months passed Tim was getting better from the whole break up and rejected situation.
He started to develop more feelings for the young girl.
Better than before.
Before, it was just a crush...
But now.... He is not sure...
He still loves Pepper but he still has Y/n.
"Tim? Are you ok? You seemed dozed off." She asked worried.
"I-I'm ok N/n" he said as he payed attention to the flat screen TV again.
Wrapping his right arm around the petite Female's shoulder and the young girl rested her head on his chest.
She didn't mind. Because she was finally happy.
"Y/n?" Tim stated.
"Yeah?"
"Do you want to go on a date with m-me?" He looked to the left slightly with a light blush on his cheeks.
Y/n looked up at him with a heart warming smile on her face.
She took his chin and place a soft kiss in his cheek.
He was wide eyed and looked down at her with a red face.
"Sure Tim... I would love to." She grinned at him.
@NextDay@
Y/n was already getting ready for their lunch date.
She wore a F/c sundress with F/c Flats/Heels.
She also wore simple makeup and made her hair (curled a bit)/(Favorite Hairstyle)/(Loose).
Tim was in the living room looking nervous with a bouquet of (Favorite Flowers) on his hand.
"Tim?" The young female went out of her room and showed the ravenette boy her look.
"Do i-i look n-nice?" She stated embarrassed.
He stood up from the couch and towered over the Girl.
"Nope-" he began and the young girl looked like she wanted to cry from embarrassment.
"You look gorgeous" he said and gave the bouquet of flowers to her.
She blushed a perfect shade of pink you can hardly recognise a peach.
=Timeskip=
(A/n: IM LAZY! Deal with it!)
They finally got settled in a casual restaurant with not to many and not to few people where in there.
Tim and Y/n had a great time with small talks and corny jokes till...
'She texted...'
He looked at his phone and told Y/n to hold that thought.
Peppy😍:
-Tim, can i talk to you? Im right outside the restaurant your in.
Tim:
Why? What's wrong? Are you ok? And why do you still have my number?
-Tim cleared Pepper's nickname-
Pepper Sanchez:
Please just go outside.
Tim looked up at Y/n again and excused himself to go outside while she ordered dessert.
She nodded and smiled at him genuinely.
He smiled at her and kissed her forehead before going outside.
The young man saw the girl that he once loved and started to regain memories about their past relationship.
"Tim!" The girl shouted and hugged him.
The boy pushed her back holding her shoulders and looked at her questioningly.
"What do you want Pepper?" He asked with a slight anger in his voice.
"Im-im sorry f-for everything... i was just... selfish... so please take me back! I love you! Please!" She begged looking at him with pleading eyes.
"I-im sorry Pepper but-" the young boy was caught off by familiar lips crashing into his.
He saw that it was Y/n who had kiss him.
He gave in to her and kissed her back pulling her close as she tangled her fingers with his raven locks.
They finally stopped kissing and looked at each other lovingly.
Y/n turned to Pepper and saw that she was dumbstruck.
"Well im so sorry piper? Was it? Well... he is mine." She said with sass in her tone and hugged her NEW BOYFRIEND's arm.
They walked away and they started to laugh. And do sweet things that couple's do.
"Hey Y/n?" Tim started.
"Yes, Babe?" She answered with a bit of victory in her voice.
"I love you." He grabbed her chin and let her face him.
"I love you too.. My Cup of Coffee.."
Extended Ending
===========================
"Did you just call me a cup of coffee?" Tim wheezed at his girlfriend.
"Yah? Got a problem?" She said crossing her arms.
"Why did you call me a cup of coffee?" He asked.
"Well you tasted like one when you kissed me." She said blushing.
"Hahaha your such a dork!" He said as he kissed her cheek lovingly.
"Well im your Dork, Babe" she pulled him into a kiss again.
FINALLY DONE!
