I grab the door handle and push it to the side. The smell of coffee invading my nostrils. I inhale it. It calms my mind.

I walk inside and spot a couple talking and an elder man reading a newspaper. Instantaneously i find François behind the counter. He is French and in his mid forty. He has a dark brown hair, blue eyes and pointed nose. Not to mention a muscular body. I can tell he is a good looking man.

"Bonjour Elsa, ça va? (Good morning, Elsa how are you?)" he greets me in his thick accent.

"Bonjour François. Ça va bien, merci et toi?(Morning François. Fine, thanks and you?) " i greet him back. Yes. I speak french.

"Très bien, merci(Great, thank you)" he says.

I look down the menu. Cappuccino, mochaccino, white coffee, black coffee. Hmm.

"The usual?" he asks me about my order. I smile in relief. He knows me so well.

"Yes and i'd like a slice of strawberry cheesecake please" i reply. I put aside the menu. 

"D'accord. One cappuccino and one strawberry cheesecake. It costs $12.00" he says.

"Take the chance" i give him $15.

"Merci" he smiles. I smile back at him.

I turn around and find my usual seat. It's located beside the window. I like this spot. I can see the people who walking down the street. Some in their working attire, going to work, kids in their school uniforms, and a few people jogging with their dog.

"Here is your order, miss. One cappuccino and a slice of strawberry cheesecake" a waiter place my order on the table.

"Um yeah thanks" i say a bit perplexed. I mean he just disturbed my thoughts.

I take a sip of my coffee. I moan. This is so good. I push aside my cake, deciding to save it for later. I pull out my laptop and do some work.

I am so into my work until i hear the doorbell rings. A beautiful young woman step inside the café.

She's here.
