   Summary

   Alina had two simultaneous thoughts of ‘damn, he’s hot!’ and ‘oh no, douchebag incoming!’

   “You aren’t too busy to do a large order right now, are you?” He said in a low voice that caused her stomach to attempt acrobatics.

   Oh god, she was staring at him with her mouth open wasn’t she? Shit, shit, shit! Talk NOW!

   A modern day alternate universe where Alina is a starving artist working as a barista with Alexei and Nikolai. The Darkling is mysteriously handsome customer who takes interest in Alina. Oh, and she lives with Mal which greatly complicates everything.

   Get ready for the coffee puns!
