"Can I have 4 venti iced Mochas, please?"I asked as I scanned the cafe's menu.
"That will be $10.40, ma'am."I handed the cashier my money and waited by the end of the table to get the drinks.

My name is Kimberley, but I go by Kim.I was on my morning coffee run before work right now.I live in the heart of Ventura, California along with my mother and my sisters.I really loved it out here.If I had friends, it would make the experience a lot better.I'm what you would call an introvert.I don't look like those anorexic models on Instagram but I sure wasn't fat.I had a nice body that I always hid under baggy clothes, on purpose.Too much attention made me nervous.

"Kimberley!"

My name was called and I was ecstatic.I am a huge coffee lover.I picked up the tray of coffees and began walking towards the exit.

A group of bodyguards entered with a male in all white walking in the front of them.He was pretty tall and very good looking.I wish he would have noticed me.He was so distracted by his phone though.Even if he wasn't, I know that he wouldn't pay me any attention.I almost made it past them until one of them bumped into me, making me spill the coffee on the male in the front.

"I-I'm so-so sorry.I-"
"You fucking bitch, what the hell?!This is fucking Fendi.You know what, fuck it.Let's just go."

I stood there in complete shock on what just happened.I really didn't mean to spill the coffee on him, ruining his outfit.I was red of embarrassment.

The employees saw everything that happened and gave me another tray of coffees.I made sure my path was clear this time.I drove home and brought the coffee for my family.

"Hey, you guys, I'm back.Here's your coffees."I put them on the table and watched as they all came and grabbed a cup one by one.They were the only ones that I wasn't a complete weirdo around.

"Thank you, baby."My mom said hugging me.She has always been my favorite person on earth.She has always been there for me.She was always able to tell when I wasn't happy or when I wasn't feeling well.
"You're welcome."
"What's the matter, hun?You sound so down."She rubbed my back as I sighed and sat down, prompting to tell her what happened.
"While I was getting the coffees, a bunch of bodyguards swarmed into the cafe guarding this guy in all white.One of them bumped into me causing me to spill our first sets of coffee on him.I ended up getting cussed out but it's whatever now."
"Oh, baby, I'm sorry that that happened to you.Mistakes happen everyday around us,we just have to accept that.Just try to forget about it and don't let it bring you down."
"Thanks, mom."I said smiling at her.

Like I said, she is and always will be my favorite person on earth.

I kissed her and my sisters goodbye and headed off to work.

I worked as a fashion designer in an office building for Cosmopolitan Magazine.It wasn't the most thrilling job to some people, but it kept me stable for the time being.

"Kim, I'm glad you're here.I have two assignments that need to be taken care of.The State should be coming to inspect us and I don't need any mishaps."My boss was always the type to give us assignments as soon as we walked in so I was used to it.
"Yes, sir."I attended to the work that was assigned and just went on about my day.
