*Troyes POV*
"I don't know Sivan. I think I'm going to stick around for awhile."
I quickly scribble it down thinking back to that day. As i am in mid thought, the bell above the door jingles. A lady with long ombre, blonde into brown hair walks into the shop. She wears a short pink dress that comes up mid calf, then brown sandals strapped to her feet. She smiles to me and comes up to the counter. She props herself up so she is sitting, facing me.
"Where's Alfie and Harriet?" i ask moving my notebook to the side.
"They are coming in. We had to take advantage of the beautiful Thursday weather before the storm so We took Harriet to the park today with Nala after school. She already had lunch and i think she might need a nap." The lady, Aka Zoe says listing off each point. I look out the window and believe it or not, It was pouring, something different for California. I guess i was so wrapped up in the shop and writing i didn't notice.
"Thanks Zoe again. You always come to our rescue helping with Harriet." I say hugging Zoe slightly. She has been my best friend for a couple years ever since she and her Husband Alfie came into the Shop one day.
"I know i know, im amazing." She says jokingly. She hops off the counter and heads into the back to probably make herself a coffee. A couple minutes pass of just me refilling customers coffee and taking orders.
Over the past couple years, the shop has gone down in service. We have many regulars, and the once in while new customers who then become regulars. People just fall in love with this place, like i did when i first worked here. I now own the shop after my boss passed away and in his will, left the shop for me. I renamed the shop after him "Martin's corner coffee shop" . We also have little staff, Just me, once in awhile Zoe, and two High schoolers Named Mikey and Luke. They are like family now and we are all close. The shop gets enough attention to keep it going and letting me be able to support my family, with the help of my husband's job of course.
I start to clean up the shop some, getting ready for Mikey and Luke's shift. As i brew more coffee, i hear whispers and the door slamming open. The humid air and a gush of wind come into the shop, blowing over some napkins. I look to see a soaked Mikey and Luke, looking uncomfortable.
"So how was school?" I say teasingly, picking up the fallen napkins. They groan and come around the counter, putting their bags in the closet.
"School sucked today. Mr.Hartman is making us do another project before the end of the school year. We only have two weeks left! How are we going to finish and have graduation practice?" Mikey whisper yells, putting on an apron. Luke stands next to him, doing the same thing, nodding along.
"I know high school sucks boys, trust me i went through it but come on it's only two more weeks." I say packing up my bag.
"What's only two more weeks?" Zoe says coming out of back with three coffees. She hands me one and i thank her taking a quick sip.
"School ends. But that's not just it. It's raining today. Not just raining, it's pouring!" Luke exclaims. I roll my eyes and Zoe just laughs at them.
"DADDY!!" I hear a little voice squeal. I look over at the door to see Alfie and Harriet coming in. Harriet (On side or top or where ever it is) runs over in her little Yellow raincoat and hat. Her black and white rain boots squeak across the floor.

"Hey sweetheart! How was kindergarten?" i say scooping her up onto my hip. Mikey and Luke smile at us and head to work, giving us some catch up time. Zoe hands Alfie a coffee and they coo at us, I also then notice some customers cooing at Harriet.
"It was so much fun! We had awt today and i made a clay wabbit." She says waving her hands around.
"Honey it's art and rabbit. Try saying it again, i know it's hard." I say smiling at her.
"Awt. Awt, A-R-T. Art. R-A-B-B-I-T." She says slowly.
"Is that good daddy?"
"Much better. Your getting better everyday." I say tickling her stomach. She giggles and squirms in my arm. I then feel two arms wrap around my waist pulling me against someone's chest. I jump at the feeling but then relax when i hear the person.
"It's just me babe." I hear him laugh kissing my cheek. I turn to look at him and see the bright green eyes im in love with meet mine. I peck his lips quickly not wanting to gross out Harriet who's already giggling in my arms.
"Hi love" i say back.
"Hey baby, Hey Harri!" He says moving in front of me.
"Dad!" Harriet yells, jumping into his arms. He jumps onto the counter like Zoe did earlier. He hugs her tight for a minute. I move so im standing in the middle of his legs. As they start to talk about each other's days, i look around the shop. Mikey and Luke are serving coffees and cookies to customers, while Zoe and Alfie wave good bye as they head out the door. I wave back just before they disappear.
I hear my name being called by Harriet.
"Daddy, we go home now? You said we have family Disney night!"
"Yah honey we can. Why don't you and dad go to the car and i will meet you out there?" I say smiling at them. She nods grabbing her dad's hand, pulling him out. He kisses my cheek quickly and they rush out into the car, not wanting to get wet.
I give a thumbs up to Mikey and Luke who smile back giving a go on motion with their hands. I quickly grab my notebook along with my phone. I pull on my old army jacket, and pull up the hood. I head towards the door then, running to the car.
As i jump into our old Honda civic, i hear The lion king CD on full blast and Harriet and my beautiful husband jamming out to the circle of life. I laugh at them and quickly film them. They laugh along and dance crazier with the camera on them. When the song comes to an end, everyone calms down and we start to head home. While we are driving i post the video to twitter.
@Troyesivan: I love them @Connorfranta *Attachment video*
I soon hear Connors phone buzz. He quickly checks it at a stop light and looks at me and smiles. He intertwines our fingers together and kisses my knuckle.
"I love you guys to." He says looking at the road.
I smile at that a squeeze his hand telling him i heard him. I run my fingers over my notebook. The old leather rough on them but yet smooth. With my free hand i open up the journal to the first page and read.
