31 Day Writing Challenge #2: Day 19 - Coffee

Minnie  held the burgundy to-go cup, felt the heat warm her from her finger tips upward, and went to take a sip. Then it hit her. Coffee. Strong coffee. She rolled her eyes as a char-grinned smile formed on her lips.

"Hot chocolate, aye?" she looked at Oscar, he was smirking and clearly proud of himself. "Why do you always get me coffee? You know I don't like it."

"The face you make. You get a little excited when you think I've gotten you a Costa hot chocolate, which is so cute. But then, when you realise that it is coffee, you roll your eyes and do that amazing smile, the one you just did, and sometimes you chuckle and call me an 'idiot'. It is so worth the three-fifty." He reached up and brushed an errant strand of her auburn hair behind her ear, he seemed to be about to say something, but instead, he cleared his throat, dropped his hand and took the slightest step back.

"I'll take this." Oscar said, lifting the offending caffeinated drink from her hand, "and, you take this." replacing it with 'his' to-go cup. Minnie eyed the drink and Oscar with suspicious amusement.

"Two shots of hazelnut syrup." Oscar nudged.

Humouring him, Minnie took a sip. Hot, still too hot to drink, but, oh so, chocolatey.

"Figured it would be a good idea to butter you up a little." Minnie looked around and there she saw it: the man who got everything right, except her Costa order, down on one knee with a ring in his hand.
