Non-Functional

Another day of work and I woke up and went to the café early to practice some new things to add in the menu. I tried to make espresso con panna, borgia and flat white. I'm on my third attempt on making espresso con panna but I can't seem to perfect it. I started to get frustrated. I heard the door open and I saw my boss in his coat. Wow. Is he usually this early? "Good morning sir.", I greeted. He nodded as a response. He looked at the messy workplace and said, "Trynna make espresso con panna?" Wow. He actually knew what I was making at a glance.

"Y-Yes sir. But I can't seem to perfect it. There's always something that's missing." I said. He looked and tasted at the product of my attempts.

"This is good Kira, but since we want the best for our customers, use these espresso beans than the regular coffee beans. Okay?" He smiled. Oh my gosh. I feel so so embarassed right now. And it was the first time he called me by my first name. I felt my heart pound. Wait, what?

"I-I'm sorry sir. I'll do better next time." I started to clean up the utensils and ingredients I used. "I'll help you with that." he insisted. "No sir, let me do it. I-" I said facing him. The cup almost fell and his face is close to mine once again. We looked at each other and he looks so so handsome. Am I blushing? He smiled. We heard something from the kitchen fell off. It's dark in there so I can't tell if someone's there or it's just a pesky cat. Anyways...

"Can we go to the amusement park after today's work?" What? Is he asking me out?

"Sure, sir." Sis, I think I'm gonna regret this. That just came out of my mouth. I was not aware that I said that.

"Great." He bit his lower lip while smiling. Gosh. I'm melting. But really? He's asking me out?

Oh stop Kira. He's just friendly. It's natural for a businessman to be in good terms with their employees.

"Shall I help you in practicing that espresso con panna?"

"Of course. I would love to, sir."

And it was so so fun. We started to get to know each other. The conversation was full of laughter and jokes. I must say, he's a funny man.

Jasper just opened the café for today and guess what? The demon is testing me. Pepe the frog is the first customer. "Good morning sir. What do you like to order?" I said with a lazy tone. "Actually I'm not here to order. I'm here to greet my girlfriend." he said.

"Oh you're here to meet your girlfriend? How sweet. Jasper! Your boyfriend's here!" I said.

"Yes honey?" Jasper said to Mr. Acel. He knows how to ride my joke huh. Incase y'all don't know Jasper's interested in men too. Mr. Acel got annoyed and he said facing me, "Sweetie, just make me an americano."

"Hey bro. Sorry, we ran out of americano." Mr. Jin came in.

"Okay then, just make me an espresso con panna. Even tho that's not in your menu. And! I want Kira to do it." He smirked. Wow. Kira? Are we close?

"Coming right up sir!" I said. Think I can't do it? I just practiced that a while ago. With the help of the Greek god a.k.a. Mr. Jin Toverdi. After that, I gave him his Espresso con Panna. Both him and Jasper were shocked. Mr. Jin felt proud.

"Nice job, Kira." Mr. Jin said. He smiled so I smiled widely. I didn't noticed that we were staring at each other for a long time until Jasper entertained the customer. I saw a lot of people lining up outside the café we better work so now.
