It was a bright Monday morning as the sun started to peak through the white curtains of my small apartment. I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off, I sighed softly as I placed my head back on my fluffy teal pillow while closing my eyes. "I need five more minutes," I said in a drowsy voice. After a couple of minutes, I sat up from my bed as I grabbed my phone from my dresser drawer turning off her alarm. I gently pushed away my curly black hair from her face, I looked down at my phone seeing a text message popped up from my long-time best friend Marina.
I looked down at my phone as she read the text message:
Hi Bri! How are you girl? I hope everything is going well. How are you and Dean? :)
I playfully rolled her eyes as I knew that Marina would mention Dean, I had a bit of a smile on my face as I started to write back to her:
Hi Marina! I am doing pretty well! I and Dean are doing pretty good, he's working on his upcoming romance novel! How is Hawaii?
Marina wrote back, Oh my gosh that's amazing! I and Warren are loving Hawaii, especially the beaches here! The water is so crystal blue and clear I want you to come to visit me one day!
I wrote back, I would love to! I am glad you and your fiancé are having a wonderful time! It was great talking to you, I have to get to work at my cafe.
Marina writes back, Bye. I'll talk to you later then, have a great day at work. Tell me more details later about Dean and you!
I write back, I definitely will! Have a great day as well! Bye.
I set my phone back in the dresser drawer. I go to the bathroom as I take a shower, brushed my teeth, and then washed my face. After that, I make my way to the closet, I pick up a long sleeve floral white shirt with daises and sunflowers imprinted on it, and pair of blue ripped jeans. After I put my clothes on, I make my way to the mirror and applied a layer of thick purple lipstick onto my lips.
I then grab an eyeshadow palette, I dipped my brush into the glittery gold eyeshadow. I place the powdered brush onto my eyelid moving it back and forth on my eye then I repeat the same steps for the other eye. I then dip my brush into a dark pink palette as I add the brush onto her creases to enhance the makeup look. I smile as I look at my dark complexion in the mirror. My black curly natural hair falls to my shoulders, I grabbed a hair tie and put my hair up into a hair bun.
I then place my Expresso Love cafe apron on over my clothes as she then placed her sandals on, I then make my way out of the door, closing it behind me. I could feel the cool air blowing through her dark hair, I look at my surroundings. The leaves were starting to change colors, and I knew that Fall was finally approaching Graceland.
I continue to look at the Halloween Decorations near the houses and see people walking down the street, smiling and spending time with their loved ones. I made it towards the cafe, I walk into the cafe with a smile on my face.
I could smell a fresh pot of coffee brewing and the smell of delicious pastries cooking in the oven. "Good morning everyone it smells great in here!" One of the workers named Kai turns back around with his short ginger hair and his brown freckles highlighting his smile as he replies,
"Thank you Bri, how are you doing today?" I look back at Kai with a smile.
I am doing great, thank you."
The bell rings as the door slowly opens and a man with a black sweater and beige long pants with black boots enters the cafe. He smiles at me while carrying his laptop to his side, and carrying a pencil and paper in the other.
Dean sits down at an empty wooden table and chair. I make my way towards him, "Good Morning Dean!" I said with a smile. "
Ah, Good Morning Elle!" He said with a smile. I get out my notepad with my pencil in hand,
