(As told by Miranda) Our love story begins with coffee… Anthony was working at Starbucks slinging caffeine, and I was working at Bath & Body Works selling overpriced lotions and candles. Deb and I would make frequent trips to Anthony’s Starbucks before and during our shifts together. One day Deb went by herself to retrieve our caffeine fixes and Anthony was at the register. Deb asked Anthony, “do you know Miranda?” “Yeah” he says “Do you know what she orders?” Deb asks “Well in the summer she gets a cold brew, but during the winter she gets a few things” Anthony responds. It was this response that causes Deb to think there’s something there. So a few days go by after that interaction, I had gone in a few times to get coffee, seen Anthony, and apologized for my friends being so weird. One night, I am closing at BBW with Deb, and she asks if I want coffee before she gets there, obviously I do! When she shows up, however, there is nothing for me. Rude. Deb tells me that I have to go get it myself, she had a feeling Anthony wanted to talk to me, so off I go on my break to get my coffee. When I arrive, Anthony doesn’t appear to be there, so I order like normal and walk towards the end of the bar. Suddenly Anthony walks out from the back, makes eye contact with me and gives me a small smile and proceeds to write something down and stick it to my cup. I panic, and when I get my drink I yell “k thanks, bye!” and all but run out of the store. I get to my car and see that he has written his number on a sticky note and put it on my cup. When I get back to work and inform Deb if the events that just transpired, she tells me to “go text that poor guy he’s probably so nervous!”… so I do, and thus begins our love story!
