Nothing's better than a cup of coffee, a book, and a cool weather. The cafe was pretty busy but the atmosphere was still calm. The sound of coffee being steamed can be heard, the smell was spreading through the place. A perfect mood for me to continue reading my favorite book.
As I was taking a sip of my latte, I realized that it's almost empty. I folded the corner of my page and closed the book before I stood up. I walked over to the counter and told the barista I wanted a refill. "Still reading that book I gave?" The barista said. "Of course I'm still reading it, Alec. It's 546 pages, but, I'm half way through it" I replied. Alec's my close friend and he's also my favorite barista in this cafe. He smiled as he drizzled the caramel and slid the cup on the counter towards me. "One caramel latte for the bookworm" He let out a teasing smirk. "I'm not a bookworm, I just like reading books" I picked up my coffee. "Thanks" I smiled softly before walking back to my table.
I sat down and continued my book. Suddenly, a paper bag was placed in front of me. I looked over only to find out Alec was sitting across the table. "Here, your favorite donut" he said. "I didn't order any" I went back to my book and took a sip of the latte. He pushed down my book a little to reveal his eye smile. "It's on the house" he said before standing up and walked away. I reached over the paper bag and opened it. Two sugar glazed donuts, my all time favorite. I looked over at Alec and he was taking an order from a customer. He always smiles generously to the customers, even if they're being rude.
That's one of the main reasons why he's my favorite
