For most Monday, I always spare the time to do me time, if I'm lucky, it's going to be my day off. I do this kind of thing to increase my likeliness for Monday. So, either it was just some time in my favorite coffee shop, or some writing time or watched the latest show in cinema, all I care about is I'm having my alone time, and I'm happy. So, when I woke up today and hearing my mom’s voice, it was like, wtf! I can’t be at home today..
It turns out, today is my embarrassing day.
Everything started in the salon, when I want to get my hair trim with my favorite hair stylist. The problem is, I forgot her name, and her face, because it’s been ages since I went to salon. I ask their receptionist, I looked around the room, and I can’t find her. At least that’s what I thought..
There’s one person who looked at me couple times, but I didn’t looked back because she doesn’t seems like my stylist. Her face looked familiar tho.. Receptionist said that maybe the one I’m looking for is in afternoon shift. She told me to come later, because their shift start at two (half an hour later) it is possible that they all already come when I’m back. I said, “okay, I’ll come back later.” And when I came back, there is still no signs of my stylist. I was confused, because I really want to get my hair trim. Finally, I decided to use the familiar face stylist, and when we finally we met, we can’t hold up our laughter. Both of us. In fact, she still remember me and yes, she is my stylist. She has different style and different hair now, no wonder I can’t recognize her. She said she looked at me because she wasn’t sure who or what I’m looking for. I learned her name by now, and I won’t forget it again. I promised.
After lunch and salon with my mom, I went to coffee shop to do some writing before I met my friend. There is promo buy 1 get 1 today and I plan to treat my friend some chocolate with some talk after office hour. I got there first, of course. At one of those busy time in sbucks, all barista are busy in counter, and of course there he is, my crush, ignoring me and I ignored him too. Few weeks ago, one of barista offer me special drink which isn’t on the menu, and it’s reaalllyy good. I asked her for the name of the drink and she said that every barista have their own recipe for that name. so, if I want to order that I have to make sure that drink was made by exactly that barista. Let’s call her V. So, when I place my order I asked for her, and they told me that she moved. I decided to change into regular ice Americano, but the barista who took my order keep asking me why I asked for V, and when I told him about special drink he said they can try to made it but they can’t guarantee that the taste will be exactly the same.
I said, “why not? I’ll try.” They already busy talking about her recipe and the way she made it, so I think why I don’t let them try. Besides, I really want that drink. It turns out, the drink is very sweet and strong, it stays until the day after. When my friend come, I was just… losing it.
I think, I kind of embarrassed myself that night. As far as I remember, I didn't stop laughing. I didn't even mad when my friend was teasing me, when my crush was near. I talked loudly, laughed at the smallest thing she said or did, and even though we already took a turn of walking around the mall, I still feel a lot of energy. I even went out of my way and ask for some specific charger to those barista in the counter. My friend said I was out of line, but I thought, it’s not like they don’t know me anyway. I’m a regular, they know my name, my fav drink and some things about me. So, why I can’t asked them to lend me a charger? For my friend phone.
When we got home, it all start to wear off. I start to feel worry and think about everything I did. I told my friend and she said that everything is okay, it’s not like did something disrespect them or something. I can’t sleep until 3 am and decided to not work the day after.
That was…. Quite experience.
I will never, ever, drink that much coffee and sugar ever again.
Especially when my crush is there.
