Afternoon coffee: an important time of day in the life of Erin Michaels. It was something that her cellphone gave alarm to at exactly 5.45 pm, and something that not even studies could stop her from doing. What did this involve? Well, Erin would visit a coffee place (regardless of where in specific,) and purchase or make a large mug of coffee for herself to enjoy. Caffeine had little effect in Erin's system, so a regular cup at 6 wouldn't make her lose sleep.
Today, being just another normal day, Erin had planned to have her afternoon coffee a little bit earlier. It had no special meaning, she just felt like having coffee earlier than usual.
Walking towards the counter and breathing in the baked coffee bean scent in the air, she ordered her usual: a skim latte with a motherload of sugar in it and a blueberry muffin. Despite the fact that there was a long line of persons waiting for their turn, Erin had directly placed the order with an employee that had worked their since Erin started at MiamiU.
Grinning in spite of herself, she tasted her drink before settling down at a table near the entrance by herself. She never felt lonely watching busy people coming and going inside the famed cafe; she was used to it.

Chace had loved thew taste of coffee for as long as he could remember. Maybe it was because thats all hes drink since he was little man who needs milk he had lattes. Or IT could that there just so d*** good. Whatever it was it kept him wanting more so when he wasn't playing sports or dancing you could find him at a coffee shop sipping a nice warm double latte.
Today like any other day he had found himself driving his Tahoe to starbucks. As he reached the parking Lot he sat in his car for a second man this semester has been real hard. he shook his head and got out of the car. S*** almost forgot he hit the lock button on his car. Last week he had for gotten to do that and his palm pilot went messing.
He walked toward the front door and opened it he was met by the sweet smell he loved. He would marry starbucks if he could. As he walked to the counter and paid for his Venita sized latte he saw his longtime friend Erin he waved to Erin and after he got his drink sat down with her. He and Erin had been friends for a long time and he had been in love with her just as long.

Taking a large bite out of her muffin, Erin looked up as the door opened yet again. However, instead of a business woman or lawyer walking in, it was a familiar face. Deciding to keep quiet until he got his order, Erin continued looking around as she sipped her coffee.
Reminiscing the times she had hung out with Chace, she allowed herself a smile before noticing that he was waving at her from the counter. She returned it along with a grin and sat back to enjoy the atmosphere.
"Hi," she said, holding her muffin for another bite as he joined her table. Noticing that he hadn't bought anything to munch on, she waved the pastry in his face. "Want some? It's blueberry," she said lightly.

Chace leaned in then sat back again"Can't I'm on a diet got to stay in shape for Basketball." It was weird this was the first year he wouldn't be on the soccer team he had been on varsity since he was a freshmen but he had to give it up because it was getting in the way of dance.
"So hows it been, with the team and all?" "I feel terrible for quiting I want to play so bad but my brother keeps badgering me to get back to my dancing he says I'll never get anywhere kicking a ball."
"So what do you have planed for today?" He said as he sipped his coffee. "I have dance at 68 and then I have a stunt exam in the morning?"He looked at his watch I'd better get going tomorrow afternoon get the team together and tell them if they still wonder if I'm the best tell them I'm always open for challenge.

Erin frowned, pouted, then finished the muffin herself. Chewing on it, she stuck her tongue out at him. "Too bad, it's really good," she said, stretching out the 'e's to emphasize the word.
She took a long sip of her coffee, nearly finishing it, and settled back comfortably in her chair. "The team...well, it really sucks that you won't be on it, but hopefully we'll manage," she shrugged. "I think practice will begin earlier, so that the not-so-athletic us don't get too out of shape."
At being asked what she was going to do today, she paused and wondered herself. "I don't really know...no classes after this, either. I guess I'll go for a jog or something," she said. Erin already knew that he had dance soon, and wasn't surprised when he mentioned it; after being friends for so long it was only a matter of time she would know his schedule by heart. However, she didn't stop at letting her disappointment show, and so she pouted for a second time. "Awww...I'm going to stay a little more, I think I want another muffin," she said.
"And that, Chace, goes with no question, the team will still believe that you're the perfect candidate for soccer. The captain will be chasing your ass around campus to get you back, so get ready," she grinned.

Outside the Coffee Shop a loud engine pulls into the parking lot, A beautiful Jet Black turbo charged modified 1964 Mustang. The driver side door opens and Caleb Marshall gets out. Taking his sunglasses and throwing them on the driver side seat. He smiled as he walked into Starbucks and saw Erin.
Caleb seemed like the popular guy at school, He was a Junior so he knew alot of people. Caleb was more or less the Actor and Musician at Miami Beach U. His major was stage and minor was music. Caleb walked up to Erin and Chace as he said "Yeah Chace, Your Brother doesn't want you to break your pretty little legs". He chuckled, He always messed with Chace, It was all in good fun.
Caleb walked up to Erin and kissed her on the forehead, He messed up her beautiful red hair and pulled up a seat next to her and he asked "So ladies what have you been up to today"? He smiled, he knew that Chace was madly in love with his other Best Friend/ Sister. Erin and Caleb have had an off and on relationship sense Caleb's senior year in high school. Sure he loved her, But he wasn't sure how she felt about him.

"Yeah Chace, Your Brother doesn't want you to break your pretty little legs."
Erin turned her attention to Caleb, who had just entered the cafe. She smiled widely as he pecked her forehead, but she gasped mockingly when her already messy hair was ruffled. She attempted to comb it with her fingers to no avail; it had been knotted beyond repair. "If it looks like a bird's nest I'm so going to kick your ass," she said, pulling at a strand to inspect. Of course, she wasn't serious about it, since she could pretty much do nothing but cling onto Caleb's back for a few good hours, and not even that would cause damage to him.
"So ladies what have you been up to today?"
Erin was then unwillingly but heartily forced to a smile at seeing Caleb smile. For some reason, it just seemed infectious. "I've done nothing interesting," she said, her voice trailing away, as she now stared at the line of customers in waiting. "Uhh, I'm going to get myself a muffin before that line starts growing again," she said, standing. "Want anything?" She asked both of them, particularly at Caleb, since he hadn't ordered anything.

[Apparently Chace Left the RP so it'll be me and you and if anyone else comes] "Want Anything"?
Caleb shook his head, He had a burger and fries from McDonald's on his way over here. He smiled at Erin, His one love, Loved her sense High School. He pulled out his cell phone and he checked his messages, His mother, His sister and his brother-in-law had left messages.
He looked at Erin as he asked 'So How have you been, I'm sorry i haven't called you the past few days." He stopped and he picked up a napkin he dropped and he continued "But you know how important stage is to me". He smiled as he blew her a kiss, he flirted with her all the time, But he wasn't sure how she felt about it. [Sorry its a bad post]

Erin nodded, and noticing her employee friend walking over with another muffin, she was spared the trip towards the counter. She sat back down and took the muffin with a thanks before re-entering the conversation.
"So How have you been, I'm sorry i haven't called you the past few days...But you know how important stage is to me."
Erin grinned. "Apology accepted. In turn, I'm sorry for not calling you, I didn't want to bother you," she said, biting her muffin.
[uhhh. my brain just farted. XD]

Caleb smiled as he stole a little piece of her muffin. He laughed and he said "Yeah, So do you like dance boy"? By dance boy he was referring to Ashli. He laughed and he looked around as he called the other waitress over to him. He looked at the waitress and he said "Yeah, A Double Mocha Latte". He paused and he said "Place all of her orders on my tab".
Caleb smiled as he looked at Erin and he laughed, He stammered a bit as he said "Yeah, So what I have a tab, At a Star bucks". He smiled and pulled his leather wallet out of his back pocket and he said as he pulled out a piece of paper "I also have a tab at Vince's Nightclub and The smoothie shop in the mall". He smiled as he got dramatic for a moment and he exclaimed "Hi My name is Caleb and I have a 'Put it on my Tab' Problem". He smiled and he took a sip of his hot Latte

"Who, Ash?" She replied, before pausing for a moment, chewing her bite. "I like him, yes, but not like like," she shrugged. As Caleb ordered she twirled her coffee dregs for a moment and decided that she would order something before she left. And before she even realized,
"Place all of her orders on my tab."
'You didn't have to do that,' was what she wanted to say, but instead, she pulled an incredulous expression, which clearly asked 'You have a tab at Starbucks?' This seemed to amuse him, because not too much later he laughed.
"Hi, My name is Caleb and I have a 'Put it on my Tab' Problem".
At this, she burst out laughing, causing the people sitting to the table of their left look at them before resuming their own business. Chortling, she breathed. "Oh god, Cal," she said, shaking her head. "Thanks though, I appreciate you putting my orders on your tab," she grinned.
Taking another bite of her muffin, she eyes Caleb's drink for a moment before taking a sip from it herself, in revenge for his stealing a piece of the pastry.

Caleb laughed as Erin began to laugh he smiled and he said "So you don't like him like him, But you like him". He nodded and he was curious as he asked 'Then who do you like, I know you like someone". He didn't like Erin, he loved Erin. She was what made him, Well him.
The room was suddenly alive with a wonderful smell of coffee Caleb looked around as he saw two people, A Guy and A Girl making their coffee, That was the cool thing about this particular Star bucks, If the type of coffee you wanted wasn't on the menu, You could make it yourself. He smiled as he looked at Erin he moved closer to her left side and threw his arm over her shoulder as he said "Between you and me, These people have a demand need for their own custom coffee". He laughed as he remained next to Erin with his arm still around her shoulder

Erin nodded at his brief resume of her liking of Ashli. Then, was caught off guard by his asking of who she liked. "Wow, I'm obvious, aren't I?" She laughed to herself. "Well, I do like someone, but it's easy to guess, so I'll leave it to you to find out," she said, grinning.
Like an explosion, the scent of coffee increased ten-fold, leaving Erin slightly empty headed before she realized someone was making coffee close to their table. She was lost momentarily in the addictive aroma, and she noticed that Caleb had put an arm around her shoulder. She didn't argue nor move away, but instead moved closer.
"Between you and me, These people have a demand need for their own custom coffee."
Erin laughed along with Caleb, her head falling on his shoulder. Since he didn't bother moving his arm away, well, the already comfortable Erin wasn't about to, either. She just cuddled further into Caleb.

Caleb smiled as her head lay on his shoulder slash chestal area. He smiled as he placed his chin on her fiery red hair, soon afterwords a man come over to them and he said "Excuse me sir, If you are going to proceed with this Public Display of Affection, I am going to have to ask you to leave". Caleb looked at the manager and he asked them to leave, He removed his arm from Erin and he said "You know what.." He paused as he read the man's name tag '..Frank, I think we will take our business else where".
Caleb looked down at Erin as he stood up and he said "Hey come on Erin, Let's back to my place". He smiled as he held his hand out for Erin to use to lift herself up, He looked back at Frank and he go In his face as he was possibly going to hit him "And listen here, Franky Boy, You apparently have no clue who I am, But I will make sure your job is over, You can guaren-damn-te it".

Feeling rather drowsy, Erin allowed herself to rest her eyes for a bit before a voice broke into their peaceful moment. She opened her eyes for a brief moment and was fully awake by the time Caleb had removed his arm from around her. She already missed his warmth.
Erin let Caleb handle the talking and stretched her legs out under the table, letting out a silent yawn before looking up at her partner, who had stood up.
"Hey come on Erin, Let's back to my place."
Nodding, she took his hand and heaved herself up, not letting go. She wondered if Caleb was going to hit the man before he spoke, apparently leaving the manager abashed. Biting back the urge to laugh in the man's face, she tried turning her attention somewhere else to distract herself.
