My vintage love

"I'd like to have 1 iced americano 2shots of espresso and 2 drops of caramel flavor "

"Would you have it here or take away "

"No , take away please "

" sure coming right away "

Just like that i spent the whole day serving customers , by night time i was exhausted , managing the cafe by myself wasn't that difficult but nowadays i've been having a-lot of  customers that got me thinking i need to start looking for someone who can help me . 

The cafe was empty and i started to clean up the place , while i was sweeping the floor DING ......the door bell jingled announcing a customer, i left up my head automatically uttering a cheerful " Welcome" my eyes met a man wearing a grey fedora , curios thing to wear nowadays , I thought while i walked to his table .

" What can i get for you " 

i said with my welcoming face , he was sitting there fiddling with his fingers , wearing a black shirt rolling up his sleeves carelessly, he had the very first buttons opened up showing his chest , he seemed to be in his mid thirties , i was studying him until he left up his face and spoke

"A cup of coffee please"

i heard the words but was to busy looking to his face he has a very deep black eye that draws you in , i didn't notice anything about his face , just his eyes got me stoned in my place until i realise and get back to reality i replied

" what kind of coffee would you like "

he stared for a second and then said

"just coffee , normal brewed coffee "

he said like he's stating a fact so i decided not to argue with him

" coming right up " .

i started to prepare his order , while stealing a glance towards him once in a while , he sort have a mysterious aura around him that got me curious . i finished preparing his coffee and went to serve it  

 " here's your coffee sir " i said while placing the cup on the table 

 "Edward"

 he said while looking to the coffee ,  i gazed at him questioning , he looked up and revealed a very defined face , straight nose and a sharp mouth and those same deep eyes , he stared a dager in my head and finally spoke 

" the name ..."      he paused      " its Edward "

 an awkward silence got us wrapped until i snapped back to reality  

" Ooh .. hey Edward , i'm violet i hope you enjoy your coffee "

 i said with a smile and was about to leave but his voice stopped me

 " Violet "

 i was taken back by the sound of my name coming from him , i turned back and looked at him , he said

 " do you mind if i smoked ? " 

i looked around and replied " since the place is empty now , i think you can i don't mind " ,

" thank you " he said while nodding his head . 

i went back to the counter to clean up , and saw him rolling a cigarette , i always hated smoking and the smell of it , but i don't know why i let him smoke in my cafe , there's something in his eyes that bother me  .

while i was cleaning the coffee machines i heard something ,  guitar strings , not a while after ; i heard the most mystical southern music that forced me to close my eyes and drift away with it , finally i managed to open my eyes and trace the source of this music until i finally found it ,

 its him

  he was holding his guitar and drawing with his fingers on the strings the most wild peace of music i heard in a while . the music stopped to my dismay , i looked up to see him looking lost , gazing out the streets .

"there must be a hurricane of thoughts in this head " i whispered to my self and resumed cleaning the place .

the clock marked midnight and still my mysterious visitor showing no sign of leaving , he smoked a chimney which made me regret allowing him to smoke from the beginning  . i searched for anything to occupy my self with , but i finished cleaning everything , i even made a sign for an available  job at the cafe that i'm going to put up tomorrow . 

i mastered all the courage i have and went towards him 

"okay that's not being rude , i just simply needs to close the cafe  , he would understand "

 i mumbled trying to convince myself , finally i was facing him , he was drowned with thoughts that he didn't notice my presence .

"Sir" 

"Sir"

"Edward" i shouted 

he snapped out of his thoughts and looked up at me questioning

" its past midnight , i'm really sorry but i need to close the place " 

he took a long breath and got up , put his hand in his pocket , threw money on the table , looked me in the eye and disappeared  without a word , leaving me standing utterly speechless .
