    Bumping into people wasn't exactly my latte, because as a "Strong and independent woman, I should be able to understand my world around me."

I mean, I could agree with that statement. It's just annoying when someone's screaming at you to get everything right on the first try. So... I turned to coffee, my one true friend.

That either sounded depressing or corny, but it's true. My obsession with literally any type of coffee drew people insane. I mean, it's not my fault coffee roasters smell good.

So today was another lonely day, I went up to my favorite coffee shop, Starmoney, and they fed me my daily dose of pun and caffeine.

"Welcome to Starmoney, what can I get you today?" The young recruit drawled on and then glanced at the paper under her hand and then shook her head and pressed something on her cashregister. "Isn't it a brew-tiful day?"

I just smiled at the high school girl. She was obviously new and annoyed, and she kept glancing at the clock. "I'll take a pumpkin spice latte."

She nodded and went to work on that, and I turned around and went smack faced into some strangers face. Now, time didn't slow down in like a movie and the guy didn't even try to catch me. I just saw dull green eyes as I fell onto the ground.

Immediately, every eye was turned our way. Excuse me, did I say our? Everyone was staring at the guy I bumped into, and I couldn't say I blamed them. The guy had a face like a Greek gods and his figure was well toned. Hair dark as the freaking night and dull eyes.

It's a crime he could look so good.

"Don't cry over split milk," He said grinning. I shook my head and dusted myself off and stood. This guy couldn't use puns against me.

"Expresso your opinions politely." I said curtly, dusting my sundress off.

   "Excuse me, let's find common ground." He put out his hand, and literally the whole shop, including the boys, looked like they had been in my position. Hey, bumping into the floor isn't fun!

   I reluctantly shook his hand and and he said, "Leo."

   Now I rose my eyebrows, and I just went with the flow. "Camila."

  Now I was aware that both of us sucked at making puns, but it was interesting meeting someone handsome and deliberately interested in coffee puns.

  "Coffee on me?" He asked.

  I swear that was the quickest I've ever agreed to anything.
