I have ran the whole way to the cafe where I work I'm now exhausted since the cafe is like 5km away. I wait outside because its only 2 in the morning and the shop opens at 5.The shop looks so lonely and dark ,kind of reminds me of myself .Its brown canopy hanging over the patio the top of it slightly sun faded.All the tables that normally would have been spread out are all bunched together and the chairs are all neatly stacked and linked together to the fence that surrounds the patio as a precaution.I can't keep my eyes open anymore all the adrenaline and energy drained out of me.The week before I had asked Darlene ,my boss and owner of the building,if I could rent out the studio like room in the back of the building,after a lot of compromise she accepted,so really this was the only place for me to go.So now I just wait until she comes and opens the cafe I don't think I'll stay up much longer . My eyelids grow heavier and heavier until they completely shut and the world fades into darkness.
I'm woken up to some one nudging me with their boot , my mind automatically tells me that its father or Jake that have finally found me .But when I open my eyes its a face that I've never recognized.HIs brown shaggy hair wind swept slightly over his eyes. His eyes they were the most silver blue eyes I've ever seen. Even with the cold color of his eyes ,they still whispered kindness and warmth.His chin holding a slight stubble as if he hadn't shaved this morning. His crisp clean white button down shirt hanging over dark washed jeans with leather clad boots.When I finally stop staring at him and snap back to reality I noticed that he's giving me a curious look. I stand and he helps me up.
"this is private property you know, you can't just go about sleeping here"he says it like I'm some kind of deranged homeless woman.
"Um sorry but I work here"I said with a little less confidence then I attended.
"Well you must really like your job, if your here this early "he chuckled lightly to himself . I watched as he brought out a set a keys that looked like Darlene's He sets one of the keysinto the lock,at noticing this I start to wonder why he's unlocking the door and where's Darlene,why he's acting like this was his business.
"I'm sorry ,I didn't introduce myself I'm Drake ,Darlenes oldest son, my mom is sick today .She told me to come and open up the shop for her. Also that somone would beto work the morning shiftand move into the room in the back room. I'm just going to take a slight guess and that ,that someone is you?
All I could do in response was give him a small smile and nod.
