Love At First Sound
Lincoln Adams | February 19, 2008 @ 10:43 pmOn the way home I stopped by a Starbucks drive-thru to get some hot chocolate. The intercom crackled to life, and I suddenly heard the sweetest, most soothing female voice:
“Hiiiiiii, welcome to Starbucks, what can I get for you?”
Oh sweetie, you have no idea.
“Ummm, could I get a hot chocolate, venti size?”
“Of course honey, would you like anything else?”
…honey… I was in love. I wanted to stay at the drive-thru and listen to her sweet, angelic voice forever.
“Hello?”
“Oh… uh no, that’s it.”
“Great, you can drive up to the window.”
I quickly drove up, eager to see who could be the owner of such a mellow, sugary voice that had so easily plucked at my heart strings.
I almost screamed when a lanky guy no older than 19 lumbered up to the window.
“Three twenty-five please.”
Dammit, my order had been passed on to someone else. Dammit, dammit, dammit!
I handed over my debit card and then leaned over to see if I could spot the girl. There she was, wearing a headset, her back to me as she put the finishing touches on my drink. A shapely figure with dark brown hair that flowed and bounced off her shoulders. Oh man please turn around, please turn around, please turn around…
“Here you go.” Lanky Boy gave me back my card, and then of course, completely blocking my view, took the hot chocolate Angelic Voice handed off to him, and gave that to me as well. @#$%!!!
I frantically tried to look around him so I could catch a glimpse of Angelic Voice’s face.
“Did you need anything else?”
“Oh… no, thanks,” I muttered, trying not to curse. I slowly drove away, debating whether I should slam on the brakes and run inside just so I could see her, but then thought better of it.
I think I’ll be coming back tomorrow though.

Great story. I love moments like that.
So…you’re becoming a stalker now?
Hm… Casey, you might be hitting it close to the nerve now.
What kind of response do you think you would have gotten had you attempted to order her phone number?
“I’d like a Big Mac, large order of fries, a large Coke, and your phone number please…”
@Cromely: Thanks.
And by the way, stalking???
I prefer to call it selective scheduling.
@Perplexio: I think I had a friend who tried that, with less than positive results.
Give her a big tip, wink, and say, “There’s plenty more where that came from, if you play your cards right.”
good luck, linc!
while i am not a believer in love at first anything, to each his own. don’t scare her off, though!
@claire: Knowing my luck I’ll probably never see her again. *sniff*
I know you can’t really love someone at first sight, but you don’t think it’s possible to be IN love with someone the moment you lay eyes on them?
i think it’s possible to be in lust with someone at first sight, but love is a whole nother kettle of fish.
so, how did it go?
I hope you find her and that it all works out great.
Thanks Cindy!
@Claire: Oh lust is such a harsh word. I prefer to call it selective admiration.
I can’t believe I read the entire post … I was riveted. Searching for truth and justice … So did you go back?
I never got a chance since I’ve been getting bogged down at work.
I should have time this weekend though, so we’ll see.
soooo cute!.. i hope u do see her this weekend
Great story. I think Starbucks is notorious for hiring attractive barristas (sp?) – I mean, no coffee is really worth $11.00 is it? As well, I should let you know that while online persona is Canucklehead, my birth certificate reads ‘Lincoln’ – there are not too many of us. Cheers!
@val: Thanks val!
@Canuck: Speaking of the name, there’s a really, really cute vidblogger I admire who lives in… Lincoln, Nebraska.
Could be a sign.
Hahah, I was skimming through this post so fast I thought you were going to say that the sweet sounding voice was of the lanky boy!
@Lorna: Oh dear God no.
I would have drove off a pier if that were the case. 
Great story! Damn that lanky boy! Who does he think he is, anyways?? No man should get in the way like that
I hope you go back and actually get to see the girl!
Thanks Franklin, in fact I may end up stopping by today. The time is about right for the shift she’s probably working.
I heard on the news today (Tuesday) that all Starbucks restaurants will be closed for 3 hours today. Seriously. Better call them first.
@Consrv1Yank: Guess what happened when I stopped by too.
I have some seriously bad luck, lemme tell ya.
Bummer for the bad luck,but there is always tomorrow
Yes tomorrow, indeed. Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya! Tomorrow! We’re only a daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay away!
You are not lying, unbelievable. Better luck today Linc.
