Johnny Depp Visits Your Café (Part 4)

Your mother owns a café/bakery in Paris, France. Since she is near the age of retirement, you are the one who is mainly in charge of the café nowadays.

You thought that today would be like any other day, but to your surprise, it wasn't.

Around 8pm, your café was always open late as it served cocktails past 5pm, a trio of people walked in. One woman and 2 men.

You watched as a car pulled up just outside the door and continued to watch as 3 people got out and entered. They sat down and took a seat near the window. You gave them a few minutes of peace before asking if they would like anything.

"Excuse me? Would any of you like a drink or snack."

"Yes." One of the men said. "Two black coffees and one green tea for the lady." The man that spoke was scruffy looking and quite tall.

"OK, and anything to eat?"

"No thanks."

You returned to the kitchen to make two coffees and a green tea.

You but the coffee pot on first then made the tea while the coffee  brewed. It only took about 5 minutes to get everything done. You put some complimentary biscuits on a little saucer and took the drinks out on a little tray.

"Here are your drinks and some complimentary biscuits." You said with a smile. You passed the drinks to each person then returned behind the counter. As you stood behind the counter you stared at the trio as they chatter. You recognised them, but you couldn't think of where from.

 The other man had dark long hair and was wearing a suit and a little matching hat. He looked slightly untidy, but also quite smart at the same time. The lady sat to the left of him was very thin and had jet black hair.

 'Hmm, where do I know them from?' You thought to yourself. 'Are they singers? They don't really look like any I've heard of before'. You pulled your phone out of your apron and checked Twitter, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Well, you thought that until you checked what was trending. Number 1 on trending was #JohnnyDeppinparis. You looked up at one of the men who were sat down in your café, it was him! Johnny Depp. 'JESUS CHRIST! WTF!" You thought. 'How? What? Where? When? Why?' You kept your cool and tried to ignore who was sat in front of you.

The trio drank their teas and coffees nicely and even ordered a  round two. After about 40 minutes of them talking and drinking they paid. All three of them chipped in and paid and Johnny approached you at the counter so you could give him a receipt.

"Here is the payment." Johnny said.

At first you were too stunned to speak. You only smiled and took the money. You put it into the cash register and gave him 3 euro change.

"Excuse me, are you.... erm...J-Johnny Depp?" You muttered before he turned back around to go.

"Err yeah I am." He said. "You only just realised?"

"Yes, I knew I recognised you all from somewhere, but I couldn't work out where from. You're Johnny Depp of course and your friends and Stephan and Gina."

"Indeed. We are." He said with a nice smile. "You look young to be owning a coffee shop."

"Oh it's my mums, she's retiring soon so she's leaving it to me."

"Bless her, you'll be running it all by yourself?"

"Yeah, I just finished school last summer so at least I can work full time here, my mums leaving it in good hands."

"Interesting. I'll be sure to come back next time I'm in Paris to see how you're getting on with it." He smiled again.

"Yeah that'd be great."

"Well, it was nice meeting you and tell your mother from me; that Johnny Depp, Gina and Stephan really liked the tea and coffees."

"I will, she'll be sad she'd missed a chance to meet you guys."

"Don't worry, tell her I'll be back again in a couple months. Goodbye young lady."

"Bye, and say bye to the other two."

"I will, see you later."

Johnny met back up with Stephan and Gina at the table and they made their way out to their car. You waved goodbye to them and watched them drive away.

The End
