Café Pit-a-Pat - Season 1 (COMPLETE)

Chapter 9

- COPTER: I sent the money over, so you should be good to go today. -

As he exited the bank, Copter typed a quick text on his cellphone and pressed send. His face immediately lit up when he received a prompt response from his sister a few minutes later.

- PINK: OMG thanks, P'!!! You're the best!!! -

- COPTER: Haha no problem :) Let me know if you need anything else! -

- PINK: I love you!!! -

He cheerfully laughed at her texts as he imagined an overexcited Pink saying all the words with her signature perky voice. His mood elevated to unreachable heights, Copter walked with light steps to his next destination.

Of course, Copter knew that he was being reckless. The additional expense of paying for his sister's acting lessons was really going to cut into his already meager finances. But when Pink had first mentioned her dream of becoming an actress to him, he couldn't resist offering her any support that he could give from his end. Because it was more than worth anything to help his sister follow her dreams. So, even though he would have to carry on the extra monetary burden, Copter didn't have a single ounce of regret inside of him.

Wearing a satisfied smile, Copter fished out the keys from his backpack and used them to open the front door of Café Pit-a-Pat. As expected, pitch-black darkness greeted him, given that he was always the first one to arrive at the shop. He switched on all the lights right away and proceeded along with his usual routine.

After leaving his belongings in the locker room and changing into the café's official uniform, he excitedly headed over to the laptop that connected to the speaker system. The one and only perk of being the first to arrive was that he could pick the music to be played in the morning. Eyes thoroughly searching through the various playlists saved on the laptop, Copter eventually clicked on the one that was titled "Upbeat Funky".

Pleased with his selection, he hummed along to the melody playing in the background and waltzed across to the storage room. Grabbing the mop, Copter began his next task of cleaning the floors. While he efficiently swept the floor in a rhythmic motion, his ears perked up when Uptown Funk began to play through the speakers. A broad grin took over Copter's face in an instant. That song was one of his all-time favorites and, as such, it definitely called for a much-needed karaoke session.

Without hesitation, Copter used the tip of the mop as his microphone and sang along to the lyrics with heated passion. He swayed his hips back and forth to the funky beat of the song, and his feet explored his stage as he slid across with confidence. After boldly hitting one of the high notes, Copter zealously spun around as part of his groovy dance moves. And came face-to-face with an amused-looking Godt. Who had entered the café unbeknownst to him and had apparently been watching the whole spectacle.

Copter completely froze up, his widened eyes meeting Godt's for a short moment. Godt looked like he was trying his best not to burst out in laughter but was utterly failing. OH MY GOD!!! Out of shock, Copter let the mop drop from his hands to the ground. The loud thud quickly brought him back to his senses, and he scrambled to pick it up again.
