Caffeinated Love
Chapter 1
White Chocolate Mocha Espresso
Summary: He thought the job was a piece of cake. It was boring, and sometimes frustrated him. He didn't talk to his co-workers. Or the customers besides the "What can I get you?" he was forced to say. He didn't go out. He was pretty damn sure a pink-haired girl couldn't change his life. It all started at Starbucks on a Monday morning
Standard Disclaimer Applied.
Multiple words could describe Uchiha Sasuke; Gorgeous. Mysterious. Awe-inspiring. But most people –information provided by Naruto Uzumaki- could say he was bitter.
Forest green apron in hand, the Uchiha walked behind the beige counter of Starbucks. His pompous, perfect, all-knowing, genius, annoying brother had convinced his father to disinherit him. That's right, buh-bye money. And to his dearly beloved, sleek midnight-black Porsche Boxster, flaming red Chevrolet Corvette, navy Audi TT, silver Pagani Zonda F Clubsport…
Tear.
His father, demanded Sasuke go out and learn the 'cold harsh winds of the world and tame them using your stunning good-looks and bitter spirit' this meant that Sasuke had to get a job, earn money, then after he earns his first million he could come back into his house and inherit his half of the Uchiha Fortune.
Being the best friend that he is, Uzumaki Naruto, got his friend a job. When he was broke –not really, Sasuke's father had gotten him an apartment, room 119 top floor of Aztec Leasing Apartments- and pissed off at the world (this part is 100 percent true.)
So he found his best friend since grade school, a job. Looking through his contacts book, (a hardcover bright yellow book with a ramen stick on it) he called a local Ramen 'Mistress' Ayame, whose cousin is an accountant, whose sister is married to a CEO who happens to be the best friend of a guy who manages a Starbucks Coffee Shop/Lounge.
Then, one week later, Sasuke got a call.
"You start Monday."
And so he did. He thought the job was a piece of cake. It was boring, and sometimes frustrated him. He didn't talk to his co-workers. Or the customers besides the "What can I get you?" he was forced to say. He didn't go out. He was pretty damn sure a pink-haired girl couldn't change his life. It all started at Starbucks on a Monday morning.

(Sasuke's POV)
I checked in that I had arrived. Since all my cars were no longer in my possession, I had to take the Subway. God, I don't know poor people survive; The Subway is this huge train, which probably kills
off a good 3,000 people a year from unhygienic diseases caused by unhygienic people. In other words, it's disgusting. Gum everywhere, not to mention the other kinds of trash.
I grabbed the dark green apron; I'm forced to wear, and put it on. My boss glared at me, mostly because I wasn't wearing my nametag. It's so stupid, "Hello, My Name Is SASUKE". At first, just to be a smartass, I put "YOUR MOM" instead of Sasuke.
It really was amusing to see my boss's face.
"That's not appropriate; don't make me change my mind about hiring you!"
Tch. Whiney bastard.
7:15 AM
Usually when girls come in, they just take a look at me and practically melt in a pathetic puddle in front of me. Like I care, all I wanted to do with my life was to wait for my father to die and take my money and get the hell out of this city.
But no, the freaking Weasel had to ruin it for me. He's always had an influence on my father, and always just loves to rub it in. When I get my inheritance I'm going to hire a lawyer and sue Itachi and the years of verbal abuse he's put me through.
So I wasn't surprised when this girl comes in –was that pink hair?- And smiles at me. I waited for her to look me up and down, then squeal or some crap.
I waited. Nothing. I finally look at her; She's dressed in a long red pea coat with jeans and black flats with a bow on them. Stupid bows. What is it with girls and bows? My mother thought it would be important for me to learn Fashion. I couldn't care less, but once again no one cares what I have to say.
"Excuse me? I said I'd like a White Chocolate Mocha Espresso." The girl snapped. She looked about my age. She was holding a black leather briefcase. I nodded mutely. "Anything else?" I managed to grit out, I didn't bother smiling. This girl was obviously a waste of my time and she was plain annoying.
I gave her the drink and she left, the bells on the door ringing. I didn't see her again until 7:15 that night.
"Hello? Can I get a White Chocolate Mocha Espresso?" I looked at her. She was about 5'8 and I was 6'0 so I had to look down a bit.
"Hey you're the guy from this morning!" Her green eyes widened in surprise, she tucked some straight, shoulder length pink hair behind her ear showing off small diamond earrings.
"And you're the rude girl from this morning!" I said, mocking her enthusiasm. I saw her eyes narrow and smirked.
"For your information I was having a really bad morning!" She shot back, then crossed her arms, and uncrossed them. "But that's no excuse for being rude…so, I'm sorry, okay?"
I stared at her.
"I'm Sakura Haruno." She stuck out her hand; I think she was expecting me to shake it. I took it gingerly.
"Sasuke Uchiha."
I made her drink, she paid, smiled and waved and said "See you tomorrow!" cheerfully.
I couldn't help wonder what the hell was wrong with her.
