His Cup Of Coffee

Chapter two

 - Where the fuck are you?! I asked frustrated because i couldn't find my car keys and i don't intend to be late to work.

-Here you are! I said finding them on the kitchen counter. Of course they would be there since left everything that i bought last night in the kitchen not before leaving the keys here.

  I looked at my old hand watch , that i got myself as a present a few years ago, and saw that is 7:35, so i won't be late to work since it takes me around 20 minutes to get to the cafe.

  I took one of the muffins that i bought yesterday from the store and sprinted out of the apartment making sure at the same time to lock my door. The elevator was already on my floor so i just went inside it and pressed the button for the ground floor. When  it got there i ran out of it and said 'hi' to Mario while passing by the reception. Once out of the building i went to my car and got in.  I started my baby and hoped for no traffic.

   I think today it's going to be a good day. I'm five minutes early to work and even found a parking spot in front of the cafe which happens almost never because it's in the center and there are a lot of business buildings all around it.

   I got out of the car locking it then entered the cafe, that i can say has the best coffee in all New York. And i don't say that because i've been working there for the past 2 years, and that they pay me way more then it needs for the job. I say it because from all the places i tried the coffee, and trust me i tried from many cafe's, this one has best flavor and smell. It just tastes like real coffee and not just a ton of hot water with a brown color. The cafe was pretty free, surprisingly at this hour, but i know that in a few minutes is going to be packed, so i need to get changed and be ready to work.

- Hi Sam! Hi Carry! I say to my 2 coworkers while passing the serving place to get in the kitchen.

- Hey Alex! Sam said. She is the one that i get better with and have more fun and she's also my best friend. Don't get me wrong, i have nothing with Carry, she is just too serious and sometimes she likes to boss us around , even though she is not the boss and we have the same pay check, but outside of work she is nice and i trust her.

- Hey there, can you change fast? People will start to come and i don't want to hear them complaining that their coffee is not ready and that they are going to be late to work because of us.  Carry stated while making a coffee for a client.

- Yes, yes, i'll be ready in a minute, don't worry.

  I entered the small kitchen where we prepare the sandwiches and other drinks, and went to the back of it where he had like a little changing room, that we leave our bags in and change. I took my jacket off, and put the dark red apron on, that it had our names written on and the cafe's name ' Brent's cafe'. Brent is the owner of the cafe, a nice man is his 40's who loves his wife and drinking coffee 5 times a day.  Once changed, i got out of the room and out of the kitchen to the kind of bar type area where we attend the clients. 

-Alex can you please see what the next client wants to order? We are busy here. Carry said to me.

- Yes of course! What can i get you Sir? I asked the middle aged man in front of me.

- Can i have a double espresso with cold almond milk and one of those cookies with white and black chocolate? He told me.

- Okay, it will be ready in 2 minutes Sir! Here's the cookie! I said after picking it up from the shelf and putting it in a bag. I went to the coffee machine and put 2 charges of coffee, a cup under it and pressed the button for a double espresso then went to the fridge and got out the almond milk. When the coffee was done i put the milk in it, next the tap for the cup and handled it to the client.

- Anything else? I questioned him.

- No, that's all. How much? He looked at me while getting his wallet out.

- That would be 5 dollars, Sir! 

  He opened his wallet and took out of it a 5 dollar bill and placing it and the counter, then he left without saying another word. I took the money and did the same. I really don't like when people act like this, at least you could say 'bye' or ' thank you', but no, you just have to be an ass and leave like that.

- Hello Alex! The next client, Miranda,  smiled at me while i was coming back from the cash register. Miranda is a nice girl in her twenties like me, that it's working as a personal assistant for one richest man in America, James Harrison, which has a building right here on this street. But i've never actually see him in real life , just a few times on the TV and the news paper. But from what she told he is the biggest douchebag ever and has some anger issues at the same time. You don't want to get him angry or you will be dead.

- Miranda! Hey! How are you? And do you want the same as always? 

- Yes, yes. I don't think the boss will resist a morning without his coffee, no, actually i think he will, but we, his employees not so much. She chuckled. And i'm pretty good, just tired, like always. I hate waking up in the morning.

- Don't we all?
