A/N: Comments, emails, and guestbook signings are my favorite thing! Lemme know what you think of this story - I opted for first person again. Hope that's the right decision! :-)

~Shea's POV~

I can see him climbing out of his car through the window that faces the parking lot.

This is by far the best part of my week. Right here.

In a minute, he'll come in and order the same thing he always does, give me a smile and walk away.

And I'll spend the next week waiting for him to come in again.

He is the best part of my week.

"Hi. Can I get a … "

Large mocha with extra sugar and foam?

" … large mocha with extra sugar and foam, please?"

"Sure. That'll be $3.19, please."

Gee, you'd think since I have all week, I could think of another way to say that, instead of sounding like a parrot every week when he comes in.

"Here ya go. Keep the change."

"Thanks." I whisper, but he's already walking out the door.

I love that he always leaves a huge tip.

I love his chocolately brown eyes.

I love the way he always says please.

He's Jimmie Johnson.

And I'm …

I'm invisible.

There goes the best part of my week.
