»Good day, sir. What can I get for you?«

He looks up with a smirk. »Oh, what a coincidence. I didn’t know you worked here,« he says, feigning surprise.

»I’m still undecided. What do you recommend?«

»Oh, don’t act like you’re actually going to order something!« I speak too loudly. An older gentleman at the neighboring table turns around. Calm down, Tess. This is still your job.

»I’m not aware of any guilt.« My eyes narrow into slits.

»Are you really playing every cliché now?« He shrugs.

»I don’t know.« He tilts his head, resting a hand against his cheek. »Isn’t that what you do when you want to impress the woman you like so that she finally gets into the taxi you offer her?«

»Offer or impose? There’s a small but significant difference.«

»For now, it’s an offer. After all, my gifts should speak for themselves, right?«

»Wow, two gestures and you think I’ll be at your feet?«

»And does it work?« he asks eagerly. I click my tongue.

»To provoke me? Yes. To make me fall for you? No.« He leans forward, resting his arms on the table.

»There must be a little princess inside you who would be delighted with such presents. It’s time to wake her up.« I meet him halfway.

»Maybe the princess doesn’t like how the prince rules over his supposed kingdom. Maybe she’d rather stay asleep.« His eyes spark with fire.

»Don’t worry. I’ll change that.« Where do guys like him always get this confidence?

»You don’t often get rejected, do you?«

»No. Almost never.« I press the tray against my chest.

»Well, then this is going to be tough for you, but I’m not someone you can get with something like this. Besides, I don’t want anything beyond a fling. It only brings problems in the end, and I already have enough of those. I don’t need someone holding control over some New York district.« I whisper the last words so I don’t freak out the older man, who could very well be from the drug enforcement agency.

»Oh, that sounds so negative. But it can have so many advantages, more than just being the boss’s bed partner.« The man at the neighboring table chokes on his drink. He looks over at us with a raised eyebrow, and his face turns a deep shade of red. I give him a strained smile and turn back to Sam.

»Either you order something or you let the customers who are interested in food take their seats. After all, some of us have to work.«

»Alright, then I’ll have a large coffee, the waffle with hot raspberries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I don’t treat myself to much else.« He winks at me.

»Thank you, sir.« I turn around and quickly walk back into the interior.

Shortly before 8 o’clock, he has had a total of three coffees and ordered a sandwich.

»See you tomorrow.« As I push the chairs neatly against the tables, he stands next to me. Our arms touch, and I look up. »Or do you not have the late shift tomorrow?« I turn to face him.
