The Barista


“Good morning!” She says, shining those eyes at me, “what can I get you?”

There is something artificial here, but her charm captures me nonetheless. Her face, flushed from the heat and caffeine, stirs the man in me. I know her job is to be friendly and sell coffee, but I unconsciously stand straighter, pushing my chest out as I flirt back. Part of my ego argues that she’s singled me out. That she’s friendly to everyone, but that THAT smile is only for me.
