Amelia's POV
The bell chiming signaling another customer arriving at the WAFFLE HOUSE. My head jolted upwards upon the hearing of clacking of heels against the beige tiles of the cafe. A woman in her mid-twenties approaching the counter. Forcing, a smile I proceeded.
"Good morning, ma'am. May I have your order, please ?" I asked politely whilst holding my mini-notepad and a pencil, ready to jot down her order.
"Umm... I would like the honeydew frap and the upper platter waffles with berries." She smiled.
"Right away ma'am." I returned her smile.
After giving the lady her token and requesting her to wait. I tore the paper from the notepad causing a sharp tear sound. Handing it over to Bob to make her order while I processed her bill.
A few minutes later...
"Token 208. I repeat token 208. Collect your order at counter 4. " I announced on the speakers. After collecting her order she descended to her booth.
Couple minutes passed by of me doing nothing. Practically, doodling various senseless shapes on my notepad. The bell chimed once more, catching a glimpse of Maddie walking in the cafe a smile crept on my face. Her eyes hunting me, once our eyes met she smiled. She bolted towards me, her light copper brown curls bouncing wildly as she darted in my direction.
She is the definition of beauty. Her flawless,pore-less pale skin complementing her light mossy green orbs stupendously. She is clad in the black and white polka-dot sundress I had gifted her last year for Easter.
''Hey Millie, how ya doin? '' She chirped, my nickname she had given me in third grade when we just became homies.
"I'm fine. You need anything?" I asked fixing the wrinkles on my baby blue apron.
" Yes, I do. How about a girl named Amelia Hart a.k.a my bestie come spend time with me. Sounds great don't you think?" She twitched her eyebrow upwards.
"Oh, Maddie! you know I'd love to but, today Mrs. Como's nephew is coming. She ain't letting us early." I sighed.
"But why its her nephew." She whined.
"Today remarks the cafe's thirty second anniversary. So its auspicious and she wants us to meet her beloved nephew as well." I spoke.
"Is there honey cake by chance?" She pouted. She knew that every party hosted by the cafe had our traditional Russian honey cakes, it was sort of to keep the tradition of the cafe thriving. She was a sucker for those honey cakes. Her eyes curiously begging me to permit her.
"You can stay." I voiced. She performed her ridiculous victory dance, and excused herself to the washroom mentioning about making place for the honey cake.
"Amelia dear, can you help me?" Mrs. Como called out.
"Yes, Mrs. Como. Do you perhaps need something?"
"I do. Could you please frost these? " She added. Holding a wooden tray of scrumptious red velvet cupcakes mounted on top.
"Sure." I smiled and headed to the baking station with these delicious goodies. Grabbing a piping bag from the upper shelves. I deposited the pale vanilla buttercream mixture into it. I proceeded frosting the cupcakes with a star nozzle number 34 tip.
Once done, I approached the reserved area of the cafe, where the welcome party for Mrs.Como's nephew is going to be held. Placing the tray of velvet goodies on top of a mini circular table, positioned beside a large rectangular table covered in an off-white satin tablecloth. The table was filled with a variety of foods, ranging from the French meatballs to the Italian lasagna and what not.
In the center, lays the most savoring, mouth-watering Russian honey cake baked and garnished with perfection. It was more of a cute and cozy party rather than an extravagant one. The room was further adorned with dim lighting.
Later a hour passing by, the cafe was closing early in approximately 15 minutes or so. All the employees were on their breaks. Sitting on a table of two. Maddie could not stop talking about how Theo, threatened her charming date about cutting his balls and feeding it to the wild if he tried a move on her. Typical Theo.
Loud giggles erupted through the cafe's main entrance. No doubt, those belonged to Mrs. Como. The door creaked open. Maddie's eyes trailed towards the cafe's main entrance. Shock? Fear?Sadness? washed over her face.
Why is she reacting like this?
Taking the last sip of my heavenly caramel macchiato. I turned around to see who arrived but Maddie clasped my hand.
"A.. Amelia" She stuttered. It was rare for her to use my full name. Curiosity spiked in me to know who was standing behind.
"Everyone meet the most awaited. My nephew Mason Torrestine." Mrs. Como announced.
My head snapped backward. Shock and doubtfulness coursing through my veins. There he stood in his remarkable grandeur. His charming aura refusing to leave his side. His muscular arms threatening to rip open the black shirt he was wearing paired with khaki pants followed by brown timberlands. His light caramel brown hair tousled and screaming finesse.
His eyebrows vaguely curved downwards, giving him a sharp and stern look, accentuating his prominent cheekbones followed by his angular jaw. His eyes still the same. That dark icy blueness triggered a feeling I had 2 years back.
Had? or still, have? My brain chided.
His eyes still intimidating. Those sharp indigo darts swirled with grey flecks within them. Deep yet soft and luring. His warm ivory skin making him look devilishly handsome. The instant our eyes met chills ran down my spine messing my mind, in a pool of unwanted tingles. Flashes of past came crashing by. His eyes staring back fervently with an intense emotion churning in them. My knees almost quivered, at the way he was standing there and staring at me.
Was this some kind of a hideous dream? Someone, please slap me with a waffle. Pretty please.
I couldn't stand here. Maddie has gone completely silent she stood there equally as blank as me. Still trying to snap back to reality. Whereas the rest of the staff trying their best in indulging a conversation with him. The females to be precise. But those eyes only holding me captive.
I held Maddie's upper arm and spoke.
"I need to go to the restroom. I will be back."
"I'm sorry." She sighed.
"Don't be" I smiled weakly.
"Umm... Excuse me, please. I will be back. Please proceed."I nodded at the small crowd, trying my best to escape those indigo darts still staring at me.
