~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rainy mornings I hate it but at the same time I like it do I make sense? Of course not well I love the feeling of the weather when I am at home just bundled in my comfortable bed with socks and a movie on while hearing the raindrops tip tap on the window enjoying yourself cuddled up at home but what I don't really like about this weather is when I am outside the house without the comfort of my bed and all that shoes clothes getting wet chilly air not being able to cuddle up in an open area like this. Well it's either no rain or rain right? In this life I try not to be picky and all of that but hey sometimes I enjoy living in my comfort zone.

As I look outside the big window of the coffee shop that I am working at the rain really gives you a comforting vibe and a feeling of assurance that the sun will rise again.

You're probably wondering who the hell is this girl why is she complaining? Well then I'll introduce myself my name is Emilia Lawson, 24 and currently working at this coffee shop after I just graduated and got my degree for Business management. I know what you are thinking why the hell is she working in a coffee shop if she has a degree? Well after the years of really being in hell tortured I decided that after graduation I will just relax and took a month off or even a year off away from big companies and really readying my mental state for looking for a job. You know I just don't want to force myself into exhaustion driving myself insane so my family agreed to what I wanted after graduation they don't want to force me to you know like do something or have a job ready after graduation because they just don't put pressure on me. My parents are the most understanding and wonderful people out there that really supported my journey in this life and of course my sister we have each other's back we may fight sometimes but we make up. You know I just don't want to exhaust myself pleasing the people around me I want to be happy in my job and be happy about what I do and not forced to be happy and forced to like what I do that's why I took a rest from everything and when I'm ready I will be my best self.

"Em, I think we should close down and get off early I don't think customers will go in here at this weather" Martha said, she is the wife of joe who is the owner of this coffee shop she is always here to help me or assist me when things gets hectic oh! And she makes very tasteful pastries cakes, cupcakes all of the stuff she really is a sweet woman, don't let me get started on her husband Joe after my shift is done he is the one taking over and he is more welcome in giving me a job. I really like working with them there like another set of parents for me and they treat me like a daughter because sadly Martha wasn't capable of having a child and it's just sad they we're wonderful human beings and they dedicated their time to have this coffee shop as they say this is their "baby"

"I dunno, I think this is a time where people will be inside a coffee shop you know enjoying your pastries and beverages in this kind of weather?" I Replied

"well, if you insist on staying then we will stay open isn't that right joe?" she said as Joe came up from the backdoor

"well, I mean it's only 11 o'clock and people might come and that's a waste of profit if we don't stay open today let us take advantage of the cuddly weathers"

"sometimes I forgot that you have a degree in business management up until you start lecturing us old people. Well we will just drop you off after work so that you will not take the bus we don't want to risk it" said Joe as he stared at the pastries that has just been out of the oven

"Well, Joe thank you in advance and please will you and Martha go in your office she needs the rest she has been baking non-stop and we don't want all of the goodies to go to waste, right?" I said while giving them a plate of pastries that Martha made

"well right who will say no to that just call us if you need help you know where to find us" Joe said while kissing the top of my head when he always do that I missed my dad really well I mean I always go home on weekends to see them but that really isn't enough.

As Joe and Martha left with goodies and coffee I decided to have some too I can't just help it, the smell is so overpowering my senses to say no. Of course I pay for the goodies I don't want to take advantage of Joe and Martha really even if they say that I shouldn't pay for what I take in the shop for me it just feels wrong they've done so much in my life and this is how I can repay them. While munching on some of martha's chocolate chip cookies I sent a text to my friends telling them that we should meet up on a Friday night.

Me: hey want to meet up on Friday night?

France: of course count me in

Mark: me too

Me: great see you on Friday at 7

France: can't wait to see you em, it's been so long

Me: its been only 2 days since we last saw each other

Mark: she is dramatic

France: i'll kick you when we see each other

Me: okay okay i'll just be going and need to do my job see yah!

I smiled and put back my phone in my bag under the counter and started munching and drinking the coffee while looking at the big window of the coffee shop. Well this is going to be a long, rainy day.
