"Can I get a medium hot cocoa?" I order quickly, trying to make up for the time I spent examining her. She nods and I watch her bounce around behind the counter. She hesitates for a minute before looking at me sheepishly.
"I'm new; it's only my third day," she explains. I gaze at her as she peeks around the corner and yells Diego's name.
He appears a few seconds later and comes to a halt halfway out the door. He stares at me and blinks a few times. "You look good," he blurts.
The girl behind the counter appears a little startled and I fight the urge to grin. I blush instead and look down. "Thanks," I murmur.
"Yeah...you just..." he says as he looks at me again. "Pretty, you look very pretty."
"Uh..." the new girl interrupts uncomfortably and Diego turns to her.
"Oh yeah, hot cocoa,"
