Friday, October 23, 2015 The cool October air was hitting her hard in the face after leaving the elevator nearest to the exit of her office building. It felt good to get out of the office for a little, seeing she had a three day weekend approaching. The clack of her heels against the pavement and the crunch of the leaves under her feet reminded her of why she was grateful to live in Seattle again. She spent her childhood and early adolescence here but had to relocate when she was 13 to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Just thinking of that place again made her internally cringe. The poverty experienced on the outskirts of the city just screamed despair, and if she never had to, she would never go back. Life had been horrific back then and she wasn't keen on reliving what had happened, but after graduating high school at the top of her class and had been offered full ride scholarships to multiple prestigious universities, she left that place for good and studied in Pennsylvania for psychology, in hopes of becoming a mental health therapist. Having a profession that can have a direct impact on the life of someone else was something she strived to achieve since being a freshman in high school, having dealt with mental health issues herself, and she was still steadily working to achieve that. Landing back in Seattle to go job searching, she had an in between job in an office building that paid pretty well and should last her a while until landing a solid job in her profession.
Accidentally pushing the door to Tatiana's that was supposed to be pulled, she face palmed herself after performing something she had a terrible habit of doing even though she came here everyday. It was odd for her to be here this early in the afternoon, with normally being here around 5 but today she got off early to enjoy her long weekend. Her favorite barista, Allen, immediately began making her special with a perplexed look on his face, most likely due to the fact he never sees her as soon as his shift begins at 2 PM.
Naila hadn't even realized that Allen had been calling her name for the past five minutes while she was deep in thought. Luckily she was always fond of cold drinks, even in 45° rainy weather like it was today. She had a small little laugh with Allen before heading back to her designated chair she sat at everyday which, to her surprise, wasn't occupied during the middle of the afternoon when she normally wasn't here.
Sitting back down, she knew she had a little bit of at home work she was told to but just couldn't bring herself to do it today. Something felt off for a reason unbeknownst to her. Closing her laptop after staring at nothing for about ten minutes, she scrolled through her phone in a desperate search for something interesting, which came to no avail. She sent out a few texts to some friends in the hope for some lighthearted conversation. She was in the middle of texting back her best friend, Amara, but before she could a strong gust of wind followed by the smell of enticing Yves Saint Laurent cologne came into the small shop and diverted her attention. He looked less professional than he smelled, not that it was a problem. The casual fit suited him. His clothes were higher end loungewear, and he had a perfectly tailored but grown out haircut and his nicely lined up goatee he had simply exuded how much this man took care of himself. He looked .... yummy. His freckles that dotted across his cheeks enticed her, and his tattoos that peeked through out of the collar of his shirt were so beautiful, she couldn't help but stare and study each one that was visible to her. She tried to keep from staring too long, nearly choking on her drink in the process. Eventually he caught on to the pair of hazel-green eyes burning a hole in his back and decided to be an asshole and mess with the stranger a little bit.

Raising an eyebrow and pointing a finger, he said "Hey you! Yeah, you! Whatcha staring at babe? Enjoy what you're seeing huh?"
Naila's eyes nearly bulged out of her head hearing his bass filled voice speaking to her, mentally scolding herself for being so careless with her visual assault on him. Her cheeks flushed pink in embarrassment being under his stare for a while. Before she had a chance to open her mouth to apologize, he waved her off and asked if she had paid for her drink already, which she hadn't, and he agreed to do so with much protest from Naila but he wasn't having it.

She had to chuckle to herself a little bit after the humorous encounter she had with the seemingly nice stranger. No one in a town like this had been so forward with her before, but in reality she was probably overthinking it. Deep in thought, she expected that this perfect stranger would be the making of an interesting situation.

Hey guys ! I'm Kymia, the author of Coffee Shop and this is my new book ! I'm really excited to be writing again after not doing it for a while, but here I am lol. I hope you all enjoyed this prologue, it's a little short for my liking but its alright, I have time. But anyway, it's currently 1:37 AM and god knows this'll need some editing in the morning 🌝 but hope you enjoy this so far, this is just a little sample of what's to come. I've pulled a lot of inspiration from Libra23 's books! She's like my Wattpad idol lol. She's encouraged me (without her knowing of course lol) to write about people I love in hypothetical situations after not doing it for so long! I love her writing style and how versatile all of her plots are 🖤I've read almost all of her books in a span of 7 or so days I'm obsessed lol. But I highly recommend everything she's made, they're all beautifully written pieces of work. There's something for everyone 🖤.There's a playlist on Spotify for this book and its titled "coffee shop - wattpad ☕️🖤" and I'll be updating it as the book progresses! If you can't find it, just search up the username "arixnaslxys" and you should find it there! Thanks for your support. Enjoy my loves. ☕️🍂🖤 — Kymia 💫🌝
