Clifford was his usual upbeat morning self as his index fingers drummed on his steering wheel while singing along to Ariana Grande's Thank u, next song. He then grasped his steering wheel to take a turn into the nearest Starbuck's as he looked down for a bit, digging inside of his wallet in his glove compartment. His head snapped back up as he shut off his vehicle and got out, walking in and instantly being greeted by the cashier that was at the register. Clifford always looked at the menu, even though he always got the same thing. But there was a picture up there reminded him of a time when he and Toby would visit Starbuck's and poke fun at the name of the beverage.
Oh, gosh. Why did he have to think of his name? Especially now? Clifford ordered his usual and placed a five dollar bill inside of the tip jar then stepped aside to wait for the barista to finish preparing his beverage. His mind was currently all over the place as he might've spaced out a bit. He wondered how Toby was doing now, what did he look like, was he still single and a slew of questions that boggled his mind right now. His barista held up his drink and called his name, snapping him out of his thoughts as he smiled and walked up to the counter to retrieve his caffeinated beverage.
From there, he walked back to his vehicle and got inside of it. He sat his beverage down in the cup-holder and buckled up his seat before he cranked up the engine and sat there a moment. 'Gosh, hope Toby is off today.' Clifford thought to himself as he would've loved to see him again but not right now like so sudden. His thought process moved from one thing to the next as he drove his usual path toward the office as he remembered it perfect and even parked in the same spot he had before.
He got out of his vehicle after grabbing his over the shoulder bag and walked into the building and directly towards the office he was assigned to. Clifford opened the door and who is the first person he attracts when he enters? Toby. He stood in his tracks for a bit and eyed the male that stood mere feet apart from him. Clifford had let a sigh escaped over his parted lips as he had seen the Starbuck's cup inside his hand. 'Of course.' He thought to himself with an eye roll but proceeded forth towards him anyway.
What was he to say whenever they were standing close to each other? Is there another form of saying hello or hey without sounding obvious about missing someone? He did not know what to think as when he approached him, his eyes instantly met Toby's and before saying something, he exhaled a breath. "Hey." That was all he muttered, not knowing what else to say or even ask. But he did not want to have a full-fledged conversation in front of everyone, in case it ended disastrous.
