Akiko opened the glass door into a cafe. The smell of coffee beans and fresh pastries gracefully danced through the air. A small indistinct murmur filled the slightly crowded room. We walked up to a front desk where an employee greeted us,
"Hello, What would you like to order?"
"I am feeling very London-y today," Akiko said.
"Today?" I asked, "what about all the other days when we were here?"
"They weren't good enough," Akiko replied turning to the lady at the cash register,"I would like a London Fog with a bacon-Gouda sandwich."
"I'll also take a bacon-Gouda sandwich with a vanilla bean frappé," I added.
"Ok that will be £16.50."
I reached into my pocket to get my debit card but Akiko had already payed when I looked up.
"Ok y'all have a nice day!" The cashier said as she waved.
We sat down at a small table next to a frosted window with two seats, sitting across from each other.
"So who do you want to be the president of America?" Akiko asked while stirring his tea and looking out the window.
"American politics don't matter to me," I replied while taking a sip of my Frappé.
"Yes it does," Akiko chuckled hiding his mischievous grin behind his cup.
I stared at him with an annoyed face, finally replying with,"a box of captain crunch."
"That's not an option."
"A bowl of captain crunch."
Akiko smiled while rolling his eyes.
