Denver was walking to work, unrepaired and unaware, and in the rain because today it was raining. He didn't really mind. He was just walking along enjoying the weather and he decided since he was early he would stop for coffee and a bagel.
He walked into a small shop that was halfway to work. Though the staff were never really friendly, the place had a nice feel to it even though it was a lot smaller and didn't have a bar side to it. It was still a very nice coffee shop.
Denver went to the counter and ordered two cheese and ham bagels and a cappuccino to go. While the staff were busying themselves about getting his order ready, he had already placed the money on the counter, knowing the price from buying in the past.
After a few minutes the lady of the counter came up with two packets, each with lovely bagels inside and then she went back and grabbed the cappuccino out of the machine, which was in a nice tasteful luminous green cup which Denver quite liked. He liked luminous green in general when she passed it to him and took the money. She saw the direct amount, which didn't really blow her hair back or anything special. She just put it in the towel and walked away. "No thank you, I'll see you later." Well Denver didn't mind. Denver was used to that sort of treatment from women, which some people may consider sad but Denver thought, "Well that's normal for me."After a few minutes the lady of the counter came up with two packets, each with lovely bagels inside and then she went back and grabbed the cappuccino out of the machine, which was in a nice tasteful luminous green cup which Denver quite liked.

Denver left without saying anything to the store people. He walked along the road a little bit. He was still soaked; he didn't really care even though he didn't own an umbrella because he was too stubborn to buy one because there was never one he liked.
Denver decided he wanted to eat a bagel and have his coffee before he got to work. He put the one in his bag and carried the other and the coffee to a bench, not too far from the store. He sat down and there was only, when he sat down there, the realisation that it's wet and then you remember it was raining recently.
When confronted with his wet bottom, he decided, "Well it's already wet; I might as well eat" and proceeded to eat his bagel. The first bite was bliss. The taste of the ham and the sauce and the bagel combined with poppy seeds was like a party in his mouth. He was so happy you couldn't care about his red bottom and he continued to eat.
Then it occurred to him, "What should taste really good with the coffee?" He reached over, grabbed his very hot cappuccino, brought it to his lips, and then felt the heat of the steam on his lips and thought maybe not. Placing the cup down, he took another bite of the bagel and then another and then another and before long the bagel was finished.
Denver turned his attention to his bag, looked at the other bagel just sitting there because the bag wasn't closed, considering, "Should I? Should I not?" He quickly closed his bag and decided to not eat the other bagel because that is for later. If I had it now he would regret it.
He was also waiting for an opportunity to leave with fewer people so fewer people would see his wet bottom and make him feel rather embarrassed. He decided to wait a while but the people kept on coming. It was getting busier and busier and his time was running out. He was so nervous but running out of time, he took a sip of hot coffee and promptly burnt his mouth. He didn't spit but swallowed quickly and struggled for breath afterwards.
At one moment he noticed people looked at him anyway so he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Let them see his wet bottom or see him embarrassed about hot coffee burning his mouth.
He quickly jumped up, grabbed his things, and continued walking. Still with his coffee in his hand, he had wanted to finish it before getting to work but getting up was probably the right thing because it had started raining yet again. While he was walking, holding his coffee, swirling it around in his hand, hoping it would cool before he gets to work so he can actually enjoy it, he arrived at work first. He walks in and greets everyone and says, "Hello everyone." He went to the changeroom. He took off his wet clothes, put his work attire on, got ready with a badge and all, and then for a while stood there, looking into his locker and seeing his wet clothes and a coffee. He took the cup of coffee, popped the lid off, sat it down on the table in the centre of the room, and there it cooled for a bit.
After a while he took the coffee with him after removing the top, which he threw away in the bin nearby, and went out to the front counter. It seemed that Felix was in the office. Good thank goodness for that; he thought. Didn't want to deal with that idiot. He saw Tim. He called out to Tim, "Good morning," to which Tim replied, "Good morning." Tim looked at the cup with an odd expression and said, "Starting early, are we?" Denver thought for a while and said, "Yes ",while nodding.
When he put his cup down on the table, he reached under the deck to grab his paperwork from yesterday, check through everything he had to, and put it back. By the time it was done he was able to drink his coffee and the first sip hit his mouth like a blissful breeze in the night, though the taste wasn't really all there since it had cooled down a bit too much but still very enjoyable.
Taking the last sip of his cappuccino from another brand at the stall, Denver put the cap down with a satisfied grin on his face. He was happy, very happy! What happened next would also add to Denvers' happiness.
It was walking in with a hair oil flutter that was the lovely Skyler. She was in casual clothes and she looked quite beautiful. Her legs were on full show in a short dress that just came just above the knee. It seemed to be leather by the look of it and she wore large heeled boots that went up almost to her knees. She seemed to be wearing stockings as well. Her top was quite something too. It was a spaghetti string type with a red colouration. It looked very casual but it had quite an interesting pattern of angel wings on it. Really drew attention to her chest, which was rather ample and quite nice.
Noticing his gaze, Skyler approached Dendwer at the counter. She offered a cappuccino to go and placed the exact amount of money down as well. She had actually worked here during the day and was expected to be here tonight or tomorrow night on night shift. He wasn't quite sure which he would have to check later.
He was quite happy, greeted her with a grin, "good morning", and she said "good morning. Yes it is good to see you too, Denver".
Denver brought her coffee over and when had put it down on the counter Skyler reached forward and held on to Denver's hand, the moment her hands touched Denver's, his heartbeat started racing.
Denver kept his eyes on her hands that she had in hers, she then spoke up,"uhm, Denver please look at me not just my hands."
Denver looked up, slowly he was panicking inside, he was worried she would be put off by his blushing face.
When they were both looking right into each other's eyes, Skyler said, "You look so precious when you're embarrassed, so please think about what I said deeply".
After this short highly expressive moment, Skyler let go of Denver's hands, and Denver removed his hands, when he did she quickly took her coffee and left.
Now Denver had a lot on his mind and as a result he fumbled through the day.
