Coffee Shop Romance

Chapter 1

MC and Cleo had been working hard at opening their own business together, MCs love of coffee and Cleo's love of baking they went so well together. They got a really good deal on the shop. It was really run down but they had big plans to make it look new again they had some plans drawn up and the workmen got to work. After a couple not months the shop was ready to be open MC and Cleo had picked out a name for the shop they decided on coffee and cake they had a sign made for the front.

MC: I'm so excited for this new business adventure
Cleo: me to, my love of baking combined with your love of coffee the perfect match
MC: we should have an open day promotion something like 10% off your coffee and cake
Cleo: that's a brilliant idea we can definitely do that
MC: the others probably won't think so
Cleo: they will come round in the end plus we think this is a brilliant idea what they think doesn't matter
MC: your right, we can do this

Opening day had arrived MC put balloons outside the shop, Cleo had hung a banner outside welcoming everyone to come in. It was a brilliant first day. It felt like the whole of duskwood had turned up just yontry Cleo's amazing cakes. By the end of the day Cleo and MC were both rushed off their feet. They were both tired but it was a good feeling they had a very successful day.

The next day MC had arrived at the shop before Cleo so she could get things set up for Cleo. When MC went to open up the door her foot kicked a box when she looked down there was a box with Cleo's name on it. Not thinking much of it, MC picked up the box and took it inside. She placed it down on the counter and went about her day getting things set up. Not long after Cleo had arrived and she saw the box on the counter taking a closer look it was from a secret admirer. Taking a look at what was inside she found a bear holding a heart that had will you be mine written on it.

There was no note inside the box, just the bear, Cleo couldn't help but smile at the gift. She tried to work out who it could be but she couldn't think of anyone. She showed the bear to MC and she couldn't figure out who it was from either. So Cleo put the bear on the shelf above the till so whoever had sent it would know she received the gift and loved it.

They opened up the shop ready to start the day once again, the rest of the group were still not sold on the idea of Cleo and MC opening up a coffee and cake shop. They made their feelings known when they came into the shop to see what all the fuss was about.

Dan: so this is what all the fuss is about
Lilly: Is this really going to work?
Richy: come on guys, give them a chance
MC: thanks Richy
Thomas: I thought it would of been bigger
Jessy: it does look small
MC: Right that it, everyone apart from Richy leaves now! We don't want your negative comments so get out!!

MC pushed them all out of the shop apart from Richy, he was the only one who was actually being supportive of them. MC and Cleo couldn't understand why the others were being so negative about it.

MC: thanks for standing by us Richy
Richy: any time, it gets too much sometimes with them
Cleo: how are you coping now you have split from Jessy?
Richy: I'm doing okay, better than I was but she just won't let go
MC: What do you mean?
Richy: She keeps phoning and texting me begging me to take her back but I won't not after she cheated on me with some random guy from the bar.
Cleo: you go sit down Richy I'll bring you over some cake
MC: I'll get you a coffee, this is on the house
Richy: wow thanks guys

Cleo and MC served Richy his cake and coffee, it had been another busy day the business was doing so well. Even though they were both tired at the end of the day they knew it was all worth it.

As they were closing up for the day Cleo found a note that had been left on the table it was addressed to her. She opened it up and inside it read.

To my beautiful soul,
I watch you as you work, I see your beauty shine through. I've admired you from afar. I just wanted you to know how much I love you. Yours always A.B xxxxxx

Cleo looked at the note a few more times trying to figure out who it was, the note smelled of cherry. It brought a smile to Cleo's face. MC could see her smiling and walked over to check out the note.

MC: Who's A.B?
Cleo: I have no idea who this could be
MC: why don't you leave him a note
Cleo: i wouldn't know what to write
MC: I can help you with that

Cleo couldn't help but laugh and she could tell MC was loving that she was in her element, they both sat down and MC wrote a note back to this mystery A.B.

Dear mystery A.B I have received another one of your notes, even though I don't know you yet I find you quite fascinating. Cleo x

Cleo placed the note somewhere the mystery man could find it, she hoped that if he replied back she could find out who he is.
