Past Tense
I've been experimenting with some different ways of telling stories lately. This is one of those experiments. Please do comment if you've got any insights to offer. I hope you enjoy it!
Bartleby pushed open the heavy pub door. A bell jangled and a handful of pub patrons gave him a quick look-see. Realizing that they had no idea who this new arrival was, they quickly returned to their pints and banter. Bartleby, however, looked around more intently, until he saw the person he was looking for. He took off his hat and walked towards one of many tables.
"Good evening, John, glad you could make it." He said, while taking off his heavy coat. The man sitting at the table smiled and raised his glass to Bartleby.
"Anything for a friend. Please, sit down."

Coffee
"Oh my..." Jerry said softly, with a cooing quality embedded deeply in his voice, showing approval. He held the cup with both hands and with loving care sniffed the fumes coming from it. "Oh... my..." he repeated after a meaningful and well-practiced pause.
You see, Jerry loves coffee. And not in the general sense. One could quite factually state that Jerry's interest in coffee borders on an obsession. A very persistent one at that, as he's been a coffee aficionado for far too many of his years.

Smoke Break
Nick put down his pen and put his face into his hands, groaning softly. "Fucking deadlines..." he thought to himself and sighed. He looked at the clock and got up. He slammed the binder shut. Dennis looked up. Their desks were opposite of each other. Nick walked over to the couch and dropped down onto it.
The office space the two men shared was tiny. Tiny and grossly overpriced. But they were a fresh start-up and had little choice given their chosen location and budget. Two desks, crappy office chairs, one table with a coffee maker and assorted materials and a couch. That was all they had, and it drove Nick insane. '10-hour work days in a fucking closet' was how he referred to it to anyone who'd listen to him.
