the best Cappuccino...maybe?

I used to go to Insomnia Cafe every night.
I showed up around 10 pm,
walked to the counter
and ordered "a single Cappuccino with non-fat milk."
That was my night routine.

On one night, as always,
I stepped to the counter to order.
The waiter was busy with doing something else, as if he didn't see me.

I knew his name. He remembered my name.

I waited. I had enough time to kill.
A few more seconds passed. He turned and I said...
"Hot chocolate, please"

You should have seen his face at the moment.
A mixture of something came over his face.
Yeah, he already extracted the espresso for my Cappuccino.


Waiting for my hot chocolate,
I was looking at the espresso.

It could have been the best Cappuccino in the world that I didn't take.
