Coffee Shop [C]

Chapter One

Angelo ran around behind the counter, trying to help all three customers at once. He ran to the back, grabbing another tray of pastries.

"Please stay quiet." Angelo whispered towards a group of teenagers. "There's a noise limit. This is a quiet place." The teenagers merely ignored him, raising their voices. Angelo sighed, giving a cup of coffee to a business man.

"They're pretty loud." The man frowned, looking down at Angelo. "Why don't you kick them out?"

"I can't." Angelo bit his lip, turning around. "Do you need anything else?" The man shook his head, taking a sip of his coffee.

"Hm." The man hummed. "I'll be coming back here." He chuckled, turning around and leaving.

Angelo continued making the odd coffee. He grew extremely annoyed as the kids never left and continued to raise their voices. Angelo frowned as two men and a woman walked into his shop.

"Hello. What can I get you?" Angelo nervously smiled at them.

"Balz, go fix that." The taller of the two men nodded at the teenagers. "Two coffees, black. Do you have tea?" Angelo stood frozen, watching as the shorter man walked to the kids and whispered something to them. They all quickly left once the man came back. "Are you okay?" Angelo looked up at him, slowly nodding his head.

"J-Just give me a m-minute." Angelo stuttered, turning and quickly making the coffee. "What kind o-of tea?" Angelo asked.

"Any kind is fine darling." The woman spoke, her voice deeper than a normal woman's. Angelo slowly handed them the cups. "Thank you."

"How much?" the taller man asked. Angelo quickly turned, ringing the orders up.

"I-I'm sorry. I always forget." Angelo mumbled. "15.12." The man nodded, handing Angelo a twenty. He went to go make change only for him to be stopped by a manicured hand.

"Keep it." The woman smiled. She slipped him a business card. "If you need help just call us." Angelo nodded, biting his lip. The three left, leaving Angelo alone in the shop.
