So there's a girl who works at Starbucks I frequent for my writing sessions. I've been crushing on her for months. We've been friendly with each other and talked a little bit of small talk (writing, school, books, etc). But of course, being a barista, I wasn't sure if there was more there or if she was jut being friendly because I was a customer, regular or not.
Last week, she borrowed a copy of my second book. She did so because she'd "have something else to talk to you about!"
Today, when I went in to do some writing with my friend, she was there working on some school stuff. I immediately joked that I didn't recognize her without her uniform on. And, in fact, I asked if we could join her. She obliged and we wound up talking for over half an hour. Some time after she left, I got a friend request from her on Facebook.
Also after she left, I talked to a guy that also works there that I've had some good chats with. I asked if he knew if she was single. Not only did he say she was, but he said I should pursue it. He told me that when she's working, she's not the type to smile much...except when I'm there. And he joked with another co-worker while me and her talked that we looked really chummy, saying we'd make a cute couple.
So...I don't know. Maybe there's something there. Maybe I'm just fooling myself. I do know that she's really pretty, super smart (she's applying to do her Masters in History and considering going into Law). She's an avid reader. And...blargle! I'm smitten. Stupid hopeless romantic.
EDIT: Heh, I'm almost rolling my eyes at my own post. How many posts like this have I done over the years? Oh look, Nick's smitten again! Oh...he got turned down. Well, moving on. Oh look, Nick's smitten again!
