This is Val. She is a 23 year old who works in a cozy coffee shop. She liked working here. It was her dream to work in this type of coffee shop, but she didn't like busy days and some of the people that come here. But not everyone is rude or annoying. There's also some very nice customers.
Val unlocked the doors to the coffee shop. She went inside and gently closed the door. She then went into the staff room and got ready for work. She turned on the lights, turned on jazz music and changed the "closed" sign to "open". Then she started making herself a coffee. After 5 minutes a person came. It was Nana. She was an old ladies who always comes in the mornings to drink a cup of coffee and have a chat with Val.
"Good morning, Nana. What would you like today?"
"Oh good morning sweetheart. I would like a latte please."
"Okay! That will be €2,30"
Nana paid, sat down and looked at the window.
"Hmm... Today's weather isn't looking very good. It's so dark. The clouds are hiding the sun. It will probably rain today"
"You're not a big fan of this type of weather aren't you?"
"Well yes. I like summer. But it's autumn now. Autumn is very pretty for it's colorful trees."
"I agree with you. The trees do look pretty in autumn. Here's your coffee"
"Thank you darling. It's so nice to talk with you every morning."
"Aww. Thank you so much, Nana. It's very nice that you always come here and chat with me."
"No problem."
They drank some coffee together and had a lovely chat. But then more people started coming in and Nana had to go. Val continued working. After some time a boy came in. He looked so... Pretty. He had nice hair, pretty eyes, glasses, nice looking clothes. Just a bit from Val's dreams.
"Hello! What can I get you?"
"Hi. Can I get a latte with double cream and less sugar."
"Yes of course! That will be €2,50."
He paid and walked over to sit in one of the tables. While she was making the coffee she felt someone looking at her. She looked up and... There it was that boy looking at her. They looked in eye contact. Val felt her face go hot. She felt so embarrassed. She quickly looked down and finished making the coffee. She walked over his table and gave him his coffee.
"Here you go sir. Enjoy"
"Thank you ma'am"
She felt her heart beating really fast. She continued working but she couldn't stop thinking about him. He was still sitting there drinking his coffee. She could go and ask him for his number or anything. But she was really scared and nervous. What if he's taken. Or gay! She sighed and continued working and trying to focus on the orders. After hours of working she was finally done and it was time to close. She cleaned everything then locked the doors and went home.
