Alex turned to the next customer with a welcoming, and warm smile on his face. "Hi!" he replied, shaking his head slightly to get his hair out of his face. "How are you today?" He asked the other, something he was supposed to say to any and all customers. "What can I get started for you today?" He asked, already starting to pour someone else's coffee that was ordered at the window behind him. [[Sorry DX I didn't realize that you had posted]]

[[ It's okay buddeh <3 ]] Kaiden smiled at him and said "I'm fine. Which do you like best?" he asked curiously. Whenever Kaiden went somewhere he would ask the workers what they would suggest and he would try it out. Trying new things was very fun in his opinion. "Gives me a chance to experince lots of different things" he had once said to a worker with a confused ex pression. With a smile he blinked, his blue eyes very friendly.

This surprised Alex, "Thats good. One moment." He said then excused himself to hand off the coffee in his hand to the person in her car at the window. He got the money and turned back to his other customer. "Well," He begin, leaning on the counter and turned to point up at the board that had all of the kinds of coffees above his head. "I personally like the Venti Iced Caramel Macchiato." He told him then turned and stopped leaning on the counter.

Kaiden nodded with interest. "Alright then, I'll take one of those" he replied as he reached into his pocket for his wallet. "You like working here?" he asked, feeling curious again. "I better stop with the questions. One day it will be the end of me" he joked lightly. He blew a strand of hair out of his face and sighed, fearing that he had weirded out the guy at the counter.

"Kay~" Alex said, jumping to start and make the the his customer had ordered. "Yes, I do actually." Alex answered as he put all of the things need together. "I get to meet all sorts of people and people are my inspiration." He said, a little occupied in what he was doing to look up from his working. "And questions are fine," he added, "And you can anyone here questions. We wont bite." He said, finally looking up with a friendly smile. He set the quickly finished coffee down, "At least... Most of us don't." He added quietly with a smirk. He winked quickly before he turned to tend to another car at the window, giving a moment to Kaiden to think about what had just happened. He started making the coffee ordered. It didn't take long for the order was simple and he added and muffin of some kind to that and handed them off through the window. Taking the money and putting it up.

Kaiden listened and laughed. "I know what you mean" he told him, referring to the 'People are my inspiration'. In this case, he had no idea who was inspiring him to draw that same guy over and over again. Shaking the thought from his head he set the cash on the counter and called "See ya later" before sitting down at one of the tables. Kaiden always said see ya later to everyone, it made him feel like he would actually get to see them again. That kind of hope never died. He believed that if a person crossed your path, it was for a reason, which is why he carefully chse his words when speaking with a stranger.

Alex took the money off of the counter and put it into the cash register, closing in up securely before he turned so that his back would be against the counter. He leaned on it and sighed, bored out of his mind. Sure, he did like his job and he did get to meet new people but no one wanted to really talk today. He decided to make himself a coffee this time, Taking money out of his own wallet to pay for the beverage. But he had a discount so he didn't have to pat as much. He made a hot Caramel Macchiato this time. Now that his drink was done he called to his boss, "Hey, Josh! I'm taking a break!" He said before rounding the back of the counter and walked toward the front of the store. "Don't scare off my customers! Alex!" His boss called back, making Alex chuckle. "Why would I do that?" He called back and drabbed his coat and pushed through the double swinging doors and out into the cold, brisk late mid winter morning. His breath caused small puffs to rise as he breathed softly and took his hot cub to lean against the wall to look down at random people below. The wall was perched on the side of a small cliff just behind the coffee shop. Alex lit a cigarette for a the heck of it. He might as well smoke while he was out here, then he wouldn't go into a tizzy when he needed on later.

Kaiden sat there, thinking. With a sigh he looked at his cup, which was now empty. "I gotta let this go" he told himself quietly before he threw away the cup and returned to his table. "Did I make a mess?" he thought to himself as he carefully inspected the table. It was clean, or, what he could describe as clean. Walking over to where the napkins were, he quickly cleaned the table. "That's better" he whispered with a grin. He walked out of the store and into the fresh winter air. Taking a deep breath, he smiled when he could see the small puff rise into the air. Kaiden didn't know what to do now, he didn't want to go back home where that drawing was waiting to haunt him. Sighing, he walked down the street, his mind clouded with thoughts that refused to be forgotten. He blinked, having stopped at a curve with a bench. Kaiden approached the bench slowly and sat down, feeling the cold from the metal of the seat. Looking up at the sky he looked at the clouds, the very shape of them making him feel awestruck. "I wonder how they must feel, if I were to touch them" he thought to himself. Shaking his head slightly, he laughed at himself "I'm so weird" he whispered.

Once Alex was satisfied and his mind was clear once again, he sighed. He flicked the lit cigarette to the ground and stepped on it was the heel of his shoe to put it out so that it didn't cause any sort of problems later on. Like a fire or something. He drank the last of his coffee and threw it away on the way back into the coffee shop. [braindeadness :C]

Kaiden shook his head and checked his pockets. "Crap" he said as he stood up and headed back to the coffee shop. The streets were silent as he walked/jogged to the entrance of the coffee shop. Kaiden braced himself for the jingle of the small bell and made his way over to the table where he had sat before. "There it is!" he said with a sigh of relief as he picked up his cell. "It must've fell out of my pocket when I was sitting down" he thought as he looked at the counter once more. "Maybe Carl would like one of those..." he said to himself as he made is way over to the counter.

Alex was still rubbing his hands together from the cold, he needed some gloves to wear! He turned back to the same customer that had been here earlier. Not too earlier, only about half an hour. "Long time no see." He smiled, "Can I get you something else?" He asked, rubbing his hands together once more.

Kaiden smiled and nodded. "Actually, I wanted another one of those macchiatos. Oh, I'm Kaiden, by the way." he replied with a grin. Carl was Kaiden's roomate, well, until tomorrow at least. Carl got enough money to move into his own house, not that there was anything wrong with the house that they lived in now. Kaiden thought that the coffee could help with the stress of packing everything and moving. He pulled out hs wallet again, getting th money ready for last time, the coffee had been prepared quickly.

Alex nodded, starting to work the coffee immediately. "Nice to meet you." Alex replied, "I'm Alex." He looked down at the coffee as he made it. Careful not to spill any of it or something. That wouldn't be very good. Once the coffee was finished he set it down on the counter close enough for Kaiden to grab it easily and turned quickly to tell the person at the window to hold on a second. Then turned back to Kaden with a soft sigh.

Kaiden smiled "It's a pleasure, Alex" he replied. He placed the money on the counter as he waited for the coffee to be done. Kaiden noticed Alex sigh and he asked, "What's wrong?" He suddenly noticed what he had just asked and sighed, solding himself in his head. "I really need to think before I say things" he thought to himself as he looked at Alex, waiting for his answer. Kaiden grabbed the coffee cup and smiled, thinking about how Carl's reaction would be when he tried it. He shook his hair out of his face and his thoughts suddenly went blank. His foucs concentrated on Alex's response.

Alex blinked in surprise, had Kaiden actually heard him? He smiled at him once again, "Nothing!" He as$ured him. "We're just.. busy today..." He said cheerfully, taking the money off of the counter and put it back into the register. He pulled out Kaiden's change and handed it back to him.

Kaiden nodded slowly, not buying his answer, even for a second. "Alright" he told him as he got his change. "When do you get out of work?" he asked absentmindedly as he took a sip of Carl's coffee. "Carl won't notice" he thought. Kaiden couldn't help himself, it was good! Even though Kaiden didnt think that Alex was telling him everything, why should he? Afterall, Kaiden was sill some random customer. He laughed at the situation. "Oh, god today is comical." he muttered with a slight grin.

Alex was surprised by his question once again. But he smiled anyway, this time it was apologetic. He didn't even have to look to know that he wasn't getting off too soon. "I get of pretty late." He told Kaiden then turned to the clock. It was only 11:45 "4:30" He specified to his curious customer.

Kaiden nodded to him. "Alright, that's fine. I guess you'll be tired by then. I wanted to know, just in case you wanted to hangout or something" he told him with a smile. The way that Kaiden saw it, Alex could be exhausted by the time he got out of work. Which reminded him of the drawings that he needed to get done by Wednesday. His mind went back to that one picture and he sighed. "I should just throw away all of those drawings and start fresh" he thought to himself. Controling himself from drinking more of Carl's coffee.
