Vanilla Surprise

I was sitting at the duty office with my fellow duty cadets last night when he popped out from behind the wall and gave a waving gesture with his hand telling me to come to him. "Who, me," I asked inaudible, pointing my finger to my face. He nodded in agreemet.

"What's up," I asked him. Whilst smiling, he handed me a pocket size carton of Nescafe, French Vanilla flavor. Overwhelmed by the fact that I received something unexpected, I made sure that the latte was actually for me. Still smiling, he said, "It's for your night shift duty tonight," then he turned and headed to his barrack. 

"Wait," I shouted.

He stopped and turned back to me. "Did you just go all the way up here just to give me this coffee," I asked, which was then replied with a "Yup!" and "Best of luck with your night shift." And just that, he waved goodbye and went back to his barrack, leaving me with a carton of latte on my hand and a big smile on my face. :)
