Love at Starbucks...

You know those movies where the girl is sitting at Starbucks furiously typing on her laptop and all of a sudden a guy strolls in the makes her look away form her keys a little too long and eventually she's typed a completely incoherent sentence with more than a few misspelled words. And then all the thoughts run through your mind. Could this be my writeable love story moment? You watch him order and then sip his iced cafe latte and think "why did he order that?" You watch him, watch others and try hard to decipger to figure out which women keep his eye for longer than the small second that he gives to other passerbys. But you just can figure it out. And then THAT thought. "He's Gay!" You think and that thought does one of two things it either totally liberates you from even staring at this stranger any longer or it makes you that much more interested in figuring out why the damned man hasn't come over yet to talk to the girl who's been staring at him like a dig eyes a bone for the last 10 minutes. And thn you have a grand idea find a way to catch his eye again long enough to invite him to sit down because Starbucks is so very crowded at 3:16 in the afternoon and just as the idea pops into your head and you swallow enough saliva to seriously consider doing it, some sloppy, sweaty twat with a double chin and a book on Aristotle eyes the very seat the love of your Starbucks life was meant to be sitting in as you explain to him why you're in a city so far from home as you explain yo him that you're an aspiring actress who did a once in a lifetime internship with one of the leading companies in NYC. And then it happens a woman catches his eye...1,2,3,4,5...head turn,6,7...bitch got 7 seconds and a head turn!!!! But he didnt make a move on her...so...gay is still possible, since he doesnt seem old enough to be married and not confident enough to have  girlfriend just yet. And then 20 mins has gone by and you realize...here I am staring at this stranger all ready to measure my worth in seconds that he spends returning the dazed stares that I have given him while staring up from my keys....when the truth of the matter is only people in movies truly find love at starbucks...
