Coffee and Cigarettes and Everything in Between

Winter's POV

What the hell just happened? That kid will be the death of me. Now how am I gonna ask Karina on a date at this point?

"Winter is it your regular?" was the question that pulled me out of my thoughts.

How can someone be this beautiful without even trying? I mean she's just literally standing there. Kim Winter you're in too deep with this one.

"Your regular Winter?" and that's when I realized that I was staring at her. I mentally kicked myself for being too obvious this time.

I tried to compose myself before answering her.

"Uhm yes please and these are for you" I said to her as I handed her the daisies.

"Flowers from my girlfriend, it's a great day huh?" she said with the emphasis on GIRLFRIEND. She's teasing me again and I know for sure the blush on my cheeks are too obvious. That Ningning is out to give me heart attacks.

"Be right back with your order girlfriend." and with that she turned around to prepare my order but not after leaving me with a smile and a wink. Damn this fair skin for giving my blushes too easily and she's obviously teasing me for it. She's unbelievable.

As I was waiting for my order suddenly the culprit of this mess appeared with a look that I can only describe as "you better thank me".
Since there's not a lot of people in the café at this time, I'm the only one at the counter.

"So you booked another date with Unnie already?" she asked me as she wiped the counter top with a rag.

"What do you mean exactly?" Another date? What is she even talking about? I'm too embarrassed at this point to even order.

"You're too slow Winter. Winter right? Keep up with your name for God's sake. Move as swiftly as the snowflakes on a winter morning." 

What kind of comparison was that? Snowflakes? Seriously? This kid is unexpectedly funny. We'll get along if she stops putting me on situations that I'm just gonna obviously embarass myself.

Just as I was about to respond to her, Karina returned with my order.

"An Americano and Cappuccino for my girlfriend." and again with the emphasis on GIRLFRIEND. When will the teasing stop? I can feel the tip of my ears heating up already.

I just handed her my card for the payment because I don't know what to say at the moment. I'm not great with words when it comes to this thing and I'm afraid that I might say something that's not funny or something that won't impress her at all.

"You're letting your girlfriend pay Unnie?" Ningning who was obviously joking asked Karina. She's on the teasing train too, as expected. She's not gonna let me live if she keeps this up.

"Business is business Ning and my girlfriend knows that." she replied with her casual laid back self. She's not stopping with the teasing huh? Come on Winter think. Swift as a snowflake, swift as
