Just Another Night Shift at the Coffee Shop

It was during one of my late-night shifts when I noticed him. Not just any customer, but a regular who seemed to always be there around closing time. We’d make small talk as he waited for his usual order, espresso with extra foam, and sometimes, in those quiet moments, our conversations would drift towards more intimate topics. One night, after hours, when we were both lingering around the shop cleaning up and chatting, I found myself leaning closer to him over the counter. His hand brushed against mine as he reached for a napkin, sending sparks through my body. Before either of us could speak another word, his lips met mine in a rush of passion that felt so right it scared me. We parted quickly when we heard footsteps approaching and finished off with hurried goodbyes. I can’t help but feel like there’s more to explore between us, even though it feels wrong on every level. But hell, if I ever have another chance, I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
