《Solangelo oneshots》Coffee
Advertisement
Nico sighed. Getting up, eating breakfast, going to work was one of the most boring things in the world. The only good thing in the morning was the coffee. Before he always got his coffee at the very busy Starbucks two streets away from his apartment. One day he had overslept and was running late for an important meeting. His usual Starbucks would be too busy but he needed his coffee.
Nico went to a small coffee shop not far from Starbucks, called 'Sunlight'. That became his place. There always was one man standing behind the counter. He knew the man's name was something Solace.
Nico walked into Sunlight on an unusual sunny morning. Solace smiled and waved at him. "The usual?" "No I think I'll try the Sunlight Espresso today." Nico liked changing his order but kept falling back to a triple espresso every time.
A phone rang. Nico's phone.
"Di Angelo"
"Sir the meeting with Samsung has been cancelled. Their representative had food poisoning and can't come."
"Thank you Angie, send them my best wishes."
Nico ended the call. The waiter was waiting for him to take his coffee, pay and leave. "Can I have a chocolate muffin as well please?"
He sat down at one of the small tables in the shop. After a few minutes Solace came back with a chocolate muffin, still warm.
"Can I ask what your name is, I only know your surname." "I'm William Solace, but everyone calls me Will. And you are...?" Will smiled at Nico a friendly look on his face. "I'm Nico Di Angelo, nice to meet you. Well we already met but never properly introduced ourselves I guess. Shit I'm rambling"
Nico was a great business man but very socially awkward. He would start rambling when nervous, and tended to stare at people a lot.

"Well Nico, I've never actually talked to you before because you always leave. So why did you stay today?" Will sat down opposite of Nico and looked into the latter's chocolate brown eyes, like the colour of the muffin on the table. "A meeting got cancelled and now my morning is kind of free so why not have a proper breakfast instead of some cereal. Tell me something about this company. Wait that sounded weird." Will chuckled " You really should have a proper breakfast and it doesn't sound weird. I used to work at Starbucks but started to invent other drinks, so I started my own coffee shop. I sometimes am barely able to handle all the customers but I can't afford to hire anyone to help me."
Nico smiled down at his coffee. He felt and heard his phone go off in his pocket. He took it out, answered the call, handled it with yes, no, I'll be there in 10 and okay and hung up again."Sorry Will but I have to go. Emergency meeting at the office. I'll pay the bill tomorrow morning with a tip."
Time skip
"Our customers want something new, something unknown, not the things we're investing in now. We need ideas people!" The high boss was practically shouting at the people sitting in front of him, but Nico wasn't really paying attention. His thoughts were at the conversation he had had with Will earlier. He wanted to help Will but didn't know how.
"Di Angelo, you seem to be thinking of something. Share your ideas with the group." Nico was startled out of his thoughts to find everyone in the room staring at him. He cleared his throat. " I think I have an idea. I found a small coffee shop with a lot of potential. If we invest in the it the right way, it could become our new face."

"I like the idea. I give this task to you. Within two months you have to have this shop in your pocket or you're fired, got it? Okay meeting dismissed."
Nico walked to his office and called Angie to cancel all of his appointments for the rest of the day. Then he left his office.
Will was about to close. He wasn't feeling very well and was very tired. After cleaning up he walked to the door and was about to flip the sign to 'closed' when Nico came rushing in.
It was weird, they had only had one conversation and already felt attracted to the raven haired man. "Will I've got something you might want to hear. My boss wants to invest in something new and I kind of proposed that we should invest in your coffee shop. He liked it and gave me two months pursue you." Nico was panting from running. "Nico that sounds absolutely amazhang What do I have to do?" ( Nico of course) Nico smiled at Will and sat down on a chair. "We've got a lot of work to do."
The odd pair set to work. The blonde man in jeans, a shirt and an apron and the raven haired man in a black suit. Within a week the first arrangements were made. Two weeks later the plans for the renovation were finished.
Nico and Will grew closer and closer, forming a relationship over time. On the day of the re-opening during Will's speech, Nico went down on one knee.
The girl smiled. Her drawing was final finished. It suited the story perfectly. The gap between the stores was filled with a small coffee shop, that she had drawn and called 'Sunlight'. Without thinking about it too much she had written down a story of love. The author was satisfied with her story.
