2 weeks later....

I had felt very accomplished these past two weeks. I would work out every morning or afternoon. At work I had seen many familiar faces and I was making some money for myself. The symphony was pretty good the conductor was pretty impressed with my playing
given the fact that I had so little time to learn the music. Thanks to my photographic memory! And the weekends where my free days so I decided to help my uncle with the church choir. I had given myself some side bangs, and gave a haircut to Erika, Sofia and Jacob. My schedule was perfect until I had to go to class.

It was so hard not to feel attracted to him, he was perfect. I tried to keep him off my mind, but it was impossible. I tried avoiding him and in class the only communication was strictly about class. My schedule was built to try to avoid him, but I would bump into him or see him everywhere. Last Friday afternoon I saw him while I was jogging on my way to the park, he was getting out of a coffee shop and he looked so good in the suit. But I had to stop thinking about him like that.

Wednesday...

Today was the symphony concert and I missed class to go to rehearsal. Even though I was pretty nervous it all went great. "Alright what does everyone about drinks on Saturday to celebrate" Erika said and we had all agreed.

Thursday....

Today I only had to work at my tias but I decided to get early and do my routine. I went for a jog came back showered, changed into a short sleeve navy blue henley shirt with some bootcut pants and my black and white converse. I applied some foundation and mascara and then I braided my hair into a cute updo and styled my side bangs. I grabbed my leather jacket and headed to my tias cafe.

Today had been quite slow, I was really excited though today was Maria's birthday. She always reminded me of myself a little younger. She was a little 8 year old I meet at the cafe on my second day working there. She was deaf so she was always shy but I knew sign language and she was always excited to be able to order by herself. She was always the highlight of my day, we would talk for hours of how her day was and how my day was. She had told me I had becomed her best friend and I couldn't be happier which is why I baked her favorite cake for her birthday.

"Hey Mija can you take the order of table number 3?" My auntie asked walking to the kitchen, "Por supuesto que si tia" 'of course yes auntie' I said smiling as I headed for the table and took out the notebook out of my apron not really paying attention to the man sitting on the table.

"Good afternoon sir my name is Steph I will be your waitress for today what can I get for you to drink?" I asked with a smile finally looking at him and recognizing him. "Stephanie? You work here?" Aaron asked surprised "Yeah its my aunties cafe, I basically grew up here and now work here" I said a bit shy.

"Wow that's great!" he said " "Yeah, what can I get for you to drink?" I asked with a smile. "I will have a black coffee please. Wait why weren't you in class yesterday? Is everything okay?" he said furrowing his eyebrows. "Wow black coffee I could never too blah, and yeah everything is okay just something came up" I said giving him a sorry look.
