"Ashlyn" fumbles the coffee order

Brian waited in the line, saying the coffee order in his head over and over to ensure he'd say it right, hoping that he wouldn't have to throw in the dreaded filler words if Bree was far enough away. When the time finally came, Brian took a deep breath and started his order.

"I need a double-foam macchiato and an iced caramel mocha latte," Brian said, then grimaced as he realized his mistake. "I mean, uh... a double-foam latte and an iced caramel macchiato."

"Okay, and the sizes?" the barista asked.

"Sizes? Um... Large?" Brian replied sheepishly.

"Venti, got it." the barista said.

Brian blushed furiously as he kept an eye out for Bree, who might pop up behind him at any moment.

"And your name?" the barista asked, impatiently.

"Oh, right, sorry. It's Br-I mean, Ashlyn." Brian said.

"Right, double foam latte and iced caramel macchiato for Ashlyn. Coming right up," the barista said. "Your total is $9.89."

Brian fumbled with the money, his struggles with his nails not made easier by his nervousness. Walking over to the pickup window, Brian wondered just how long this situation could go on for, and lost in thought, didn't hear "his" name being shouted several times.

"Order for ASHLYN!" the barista shouted, finally breaking Brian's concentration.

Bree giggled from over at the table she'd settled down at.

"That's me! Sorry!" Brian quickly grabbed his coffee and rushed over back to Bree, who was talking to someone at the table, it was Logan!

"Hey, Ashlyn! I didn't know you liked this coffee shop! It's where I do all my studying!" Logan smiled.

"Uh, um... yep!" Brian smiled, seeing Bree's steely gaze. "Their coffee is like... so yummy!"

Brian took a big long sip of the coffee through the straw so that he wouldn't have to talk again for a while.

“Bree was telling me that you needed help deciding on what to study in college? I’d be glad to help you out, if you’d like!”

“Uh, like, yeah, that’d be like totes super!”

“You two have fun, I just spotted some friends over there and I’m gonna go say hi, and “Ashlyn”, don’t be afraid to ask Logan to slow down when anything gets too difficult for your little bimbo brain to understand, kay?” Bree smiled as she patted Brian on the shoulder before heading off.

As they chatted...
