So I’m at Starbucks minding my own business with my laptop on my lap as I’m leaning back on my chair, tilting it on an angle, with my back against the wall. I’m typing away on my laptop and I reach over to see that my drink, my Vanilla Bean Frappuccino, isn’t where it should be.
My white, frothy chilled drink has magically made its way into the mouth of this short, blonde, British girl who is wearing torn leggings under her jean skirt & has iPhone headphones in her ears.
My drink is to my left, which is her right, while her drink is on her left. Our drinks look completely different & mine is a Grande, while hers is a Venti.
Hey I don’t mind sharing my goods, anyone that knows me knows this. I’m easy-going.
So she puts my drink down & I look at her & smile. We lock eyes & she smiles back at me for a second before she turns her attention back to her laptop. Hey I’m sure she doesn’t have Cooties or Mono, so I didn’t bother making an issue out of it.
I get up & come back with a new straw & I put it in my drink. Yes, there are now 2 straws in the drink just in case she wants to act like we’re a couple & wants to continue getting to know me & my Grande. Weirder things have happened, I’ve experienced them.
She doesn’t even flinch as I do this. She doesn’t look up from her laptop. NOTHING.
Her phone vibrates & she answers it. She then shuts down her laptop while chatting away in her cute accent (what accent?). She takes her laptop & her drink as she leaves.
Let me repeat that, she takes HER laptop & HER drink as she leaves.
I watch her leave & I had to wonder, did she even realize what she had done?
Was she just trying to play it off or was she just completely absent-minded?
In the club I’d take that as an aggressive flirt, but in this case it comes off as an absent-minded “Flavor of the Week”.
So here’s to me & my good taste!

Hilarious! I don’t think I would have been that easy going. At a minimum, she’d have been buying me a new drink!

Gillian, you’re talking to a guy that has 2 1/2 hour conversations with cute Asian girls at Starbucks. An old co-worker/friend of mine saw us & joined in our chat. After this girl cute Asian girl (Prudence) leaves, my friend asks me how I met her & I tell her that we just met. Based on the way we were getting along she assumed that Prudence & I were good friends. Yeah, I’m that easy-going.

I suppose you can never know a person’s intentions. If you assume the best, then life seems a bit easier to take. At least that’s what I’ve learned over the years. 😉 Good for you for keep your cool!
