nathaniel.

that is his name. remember the barista i had such a major crush on before i even worked for starbucks? how i thought he was endlessly flirting with me, but turns out he was just being "legendary?" well he came into the downtown store tonite (odd feeling to be in the reversed barista/customer role). hadn't seen him in a year. he was with a girl. tried my best not to like her. i was making their drinks and said, "you used to work for the pipeline starbucks, right?" he got all furrowed-brow contemplative and said, "yeah...you look familiar...did you work there?" i said, "no, but i was a faithful customer." his eyes perked a bit and he said, "grande nonfat caramel macchiato?" i replied, "yeah, that was me."

could have been love, but it's over now.
