Work Text:
The first time
In the hot of the summer morning
She ordered a Iced Coffee
The barista butchered her name
But he was cute and tall
maybe she could forgot the "Ray".
_________
While the weeks went through
That little cafe wiggled its way
Into her morning routine
And for some reason
It seemed like 'Ben' was always the one welcoming her.
_________
Ben discovered that chocolate was her favorite flavour
Since then a warm muffin waited for her besides her iced coffee
'in the house'.
_________
Her freckles reminded him of the chocolate spects in a mochaccino
His deep eyes were as deep and rich as an espresso in her eyes.
_________
Ben started to make little draws in her cup
A sun
A flower
A star.
_________
The fall season rolled in
The flowy dresses were exchanged for dark long sleeved blouses
And the iced coffee turned into a pumpkin spice latte.
_________
Now the draws were more themed
A bat
A skull
A pumpkin.
__________
The morning was decorated with pumpkin lattes
The night, with black strong coffee
'in the house'
helping her to stay awake for her exams.
With Ben explaining her English Literature
And the sign facing 'closed'.
__________
When she passed all her signatures
She was welcomed with a big chocolate muffin
"Congratulations <3"
Doodled in chocolate syrup.
__________
A spider
A cobweb
A fanged mouth.
__________
The Halloween shop celebration rolled in
A mummy, a thrifty Superman, an angel
A freckled vampire countess
A Gatubela, an ugly demon, a Frankenstein
A fanged barista.
_________
An angry face
A dead flower
A scary face
Ben was an artist
A kiss.
_________
The warmth of the yellow leaves
Got replaced by the loneliness of the white veil.
And the spicy everyday beverages
Metamorphosed into a soft warm Vienna
The white snow never looked so alive.
_________
One day
They decided to turn
the puffy winter clothes
and the barista uniform
Into a dress
and a formal shirt.
And the yellow toned cafe walls
Merged to the surroundings of an elegant restaurant.
_________
The sweet warmth of the coffee
Replaced by the acid burn of the wine.
_________
The white snow
Began to tint with red and green specks Neither Rey nor Ben cared
That didn't stop him
from decorating her Vienna
with small sprinkles every time.
_________
A Christmas tree
A star
A present
A kiss
Thematic drawings.
_________
The yellowed tinted walls
Metamorphosed once again into gray ones
Their figures curled into his sofa
You know
Ben's apartment one.
_________
With a pure black coffee
Ben talked about his parents
The abandonment, the divorce
His uncle
His benefactor, Snoke
His time in those street gangs
Not even the tears were enough
to dilute the bitterness in his mouth
_________
With a splash of milk
Rey began her story
The foster system
The loneliness
The doubt
The abuse
Her new friends
Him
And for the first time in the night
The sweet of the sugar
rolled through the mouth of both.
_________
A pint of Cognac
Mixed himself with the coffee
Bitter, sweet and drowsy
As the night itself.
_________
The next morning
Her usual Vienna welcomed her
With chocolate specs
on top of the white sugary snow
It reminded him of the freckles
Who decorated her breast and chest
Thighs and face.
_________
The chocolate cookies
whose appeared in her table
the Christmas morning
With a big red bow on
Pale and dotted
'just like him'.
________
A new year
champagne
Still not better than coffee.
________
The cold of the foam
Melted into the colours of the rainbow
The flowers
and the rays of sun.
________
Floral dresses
And moccha milkshakes
_______
A flower
A bee
A bird
A kiss
_______
The claustrophobic sensation of the cafe
Replaced by the green grass
His flannel and her yellow dress
Food and juice
She liked strawberry.
_______
A small gift
Yellow flowers
Over her usual table
Her freckled tinted with a pink hue
Like strawberry foam in a milkshake.
_______
Easters egg over the counter
With small inscriptions inside
A question
She said yes!
But there is no ring...
_______
Instead
a long presentation in front of their friends was the ring for now
"She is my..."
"He is my..."
_______
The flowers don't bloom all spring long
Sometimes the hands weren't together
And the giggles turned to screams
She drank tea at home.
______
Sometimes the tears turned to passion
And the space merged to a hug
Drinking milk in the same table
The hands barely touching.
______
The flowers died
The warmth turning to suffocating hot
Iced tea.
______
A sun
A boat
A coconut
A hug.
______
The sticky of the sweet drink
The cold of the ice
The sticky of the sweet passion
The cold of the ice.
______
Lollipops and bikinis
Rey didn't know how to swim
So she climbs him onto her life
Even if Finn says she is able to cross the ocean.
'I can't risk to lose my best client'.

Sometimes the heat between them
Was about passion
Sometimes the heat between them
Was about screams.
