Jake: And I don’t want to wait to see you until after then.

I bite my lip. He wants to see me. Not just text me. Not just flirt through a screen. He wants me sitting across from him again. Or maybe beside him, his hand resting on the back of my chair as his fingertips graze my shoulder.

Me: What if I say yes?

Jake: Then I'll be at the café tomorrow at seven.

I frown.

Me: Seven in the morning?

A laughing emoji appears.

Jake: No seven tonight. LOL

I laugh.

Me: I knew that.

Jake: Sure you did.

I shake my head.

Me: You're getting cocky.

Jake: Something tells me you like it.

My fingers freeze. Because I do. I absolutely do.

Me: Maybe.

His answer comes back.

Jake: I'll see you tomorrow, maybe.

I grin.

Me: Maybe.

Jake: I’ll be sitting in the same spot.

Me: Then I guess we have a coffee date.

His response comes immediately.

Jake: We do.

Me: Well, I need to get back to work.

Jake: Ok. If you get bored you can always message me. Or call.

Me: Noted.

I drop my phone in my lap, letting my head fall back on the couch as I stare up at the ceiling and smile.

I have a coffee date with the hottest man I’ve ever seen. And I’m going back to the café where I met him. Only this time, I'm not going there for coffee. I'm going there for him.
