Stella p.o.v

Tying the apron tightly around my waist and washing my hands, i allow myself to indulge in the aroma of coffee shop i have been working for one week.

I have finished my highschool just one month ago and I'm now working as a part timer here since I have so much time in my hands, i could make little money out of it.

I have send in many applications to my dream colleges. I have worked my way through grinding till I got first in my class passing as a A+ student with 3.9 GPA.

After days and nights of not sleeping, grinding and walking on hell with my only energy spirit drink; my coffee.

Mom have now quit her previous job and now she's taking a little break from her work. She's says she needs to relax herself before facing the wrath of countless hours of night and day shift in medical health line and i couldn't agree more.

I had join the job after I saw their template outside their door and i immediately got into work the next day.

The ring bell chimes which was situated on the upper door frame. I look up and give a positive happy smile to my new customer of the day.

An old lady comes in front of the counter. "Good morning what can I get you miss" i smile. "Good morning, oh my you're so pretty girl" she smiles back. I blush at the compliment and take her order which is a hot black coffee with no sugar in it. I get into work and give her order in about five minutes. "Here miss" i hand her coffee and she takes it.

"Are you new here? I don't see you here before" she asks. I nod my head, "yes I've joined it a week ago". She nods her head in acknowledgement and smiles and waves as she goes out.

Such a sweet customer.

My day continued like normal with one to three rude people coming and arguing over the smallest things and i couldn't bit back anything but stay out and put on a fake smile.

Atleast my day wasn't ruined by a rude customer but a sweet one.

I look at my watch to see it's almost evening and my shift is getting over. I take out the apron and straighten my clothes. I take my purse and walk out the door waving goodbyes to my staffs here.

I decide to walk home because of the good weather today. It's breezy and the wind is cool. I put on my earphones and listened to my favourite playlist as i walk.

It's a short distance of 15 minutes. I can kill some calories walking because I'm lazy as a cat. As i walk towards my house bopping my head to the music i see my neighborhood coming in view.

Nobody has taken the house since they left. It has been left haunted and lonely with no family or bachelors.

Just as i open my gate to my home i notice a red car, a very luxury red car.

I forrow my brows, nobody in my family owns a luxury car like this one. I keep looking at the car hoping to get some ideas if any of my far relatives got a new car but it gave me no idea and i didn't realise i was in front of the door.

Normally my home would be always be glistening with sweet aroma of food littering everywhere and today it's one of the day where i can smell the delicious chicken from outside the door.

My home is usually very quiet, because we are the only two members but now i hear some other noises other than my mom's voice. Is someone here? A guest perhaps?
