![]() She was dying to tell Mal all about the cute cashier at the boba shop but if her friend didn’t get here before class started then she would have to wait until the end of the two hour lecture. Allie tapped her pen on her desk as her eyes darted from her watch to the classroom door. The seat next to her was usually accompanied by one of her best friends, Mallory, who seemed to be running late. The next day Allie sat in her anatomy class, anxiously waiting for the class to start. “Come back soon!” The guy called behind her, but Allie refused to let herself look back. She shook her head silently and decided to just rush out of the store before she did something stupid that would only work to embarrass herself. Would it be too forward or weird for her to ask for his number? Yes, it totally would. She hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should say something else. “Thank you.” Allie said as she grabbed it. ![]() “One black milk tea with boba.” He said, as he pushed it across the counter. After about two minutes had passed, he reappeared with her milk tea and a straw in hand. He disappeared behind the counter as he got to work making her drink. “It’s no biggie.” The guy insisted as he handed her receipt. “You don’t have to do that.” She swiped her card across the card reader and fumbled slightly when she had to put in her pin number. “Oh, thank you.” Allie was taken back by his kindness. “Just for you, I’ll make it large at no extra charge.” He gave her a small wink. “Good choice, a classic.” The guy nodded in approval as he punched the order in. “I’ll just take a small black milk tea with boba” Allie managed to spit out. “Do you still need a minute to think about it?” “What can I get you?” The guy asked, his voice tinged with a bit of confusion at her complete and utter silence. She stood there, gaping silently at the guy, who looked like he should be playing the romantic love interest in a rom-com. For a second she almost forgot how to breathe. His dark brown hair was tousled playfully as if he had just run his hand through it and his dark eyes sparkled.Īllie stopped right in her tracks. ![]() He was tall, towering at least a full head above her petite frame. “Welcome to the Mad Hatter Mad Tea House.” The guy announced in a cheerful tone. His face was down as he poked around at something on the screen, but as soon as he heard her footsteps enter the shop, he looked up and greeted her with a smile. The one thing that immediately caught her attention was the guy that was behind the counter, working at the cash register. The interior of the shop was decorated with flowers and clocks and a mural featuring the mad hatter was displayed on the back wall. The new shop that had opened up had an Alice in Wonderland theme to it. Sure it sounded nice, and it was all over the fairytale books and movies that she had been exposed to when she was growing, but she knew that it was nothing more than a farce. Up until that moment, she had never really believed in the concept of love at first sight. The first time that Allie fell in love happened when she walked into the new boba milk tea shop that opened up across the street from her college.
