Hopeless Romantic Hazza (larry stylinson)

ii. Mr. Blonde

  I was greeted with cheers by my staffs when I arrived at work earlier. There is only five of us in the coffee shop. Cara and Zoren are my assistants, they serve and cleaned the shop and also  there is Barbara our cashier and Brent our residential chef. As a manager and owner of the shop, I also do some kitchen work since I love cooking and baking,that's why I have this shop in the first place.

  "Are we going to close early today?", Brent asked me with knowing smile. Ugh! Not him too..

"Kind of, I'm going out clubbing with Lou tonight and I'm inviting you guys too. It's my treat, a little clubbing once in a while is good for us." I said in a casual tone before putting two trays of cupcakes in oven.

  "Ow.." he said nodding his head, while doing some finishing touch to his dish. "You better look smoking tonight, alright." he adds beaming at me.

  "Oh please, not you too.. my mom already did that this morning", I whined getting his finished works, and give it to Cara who is waiting outside before coming in again.

  "Just saying..", he said in defense.

  Brent is the oldest here, he is 28 and a happily married with his husband Francis, he is cool enough to talk like my age and act like one too all the damn time. I asked him to be my chef the moment I tasted his homemade lasagna he brought when my mom invited him for dinner, we're neighbors. Luckily he accepted and let some of his personal recipe to be at our menu.

  I left the kitchen with a tray of small cakes I made, placing them to their respective area of displays. Both Cara and Zoren are occupied. Zoren is checking and refilling  the sweets' stall I put in glass cabinets to the corner of shop for the customer's chance to get whenever they decide that our cakes and breads are worth tasting, while Cara is attending an older man customer at the counter.

  Going back to the kitchen, the door chimed signalling for new comers.

  "Welcome to Sneak Sweets!", I greeted almost in unison with Cara and Zoren. Its in my rules that  every in and out of costumers must give a greetings or farewell.

  "Thank you", I heard the costumer answered, causing me to glance at him. And that's when I got stuck at my spot.

  I'm greeted by a really beautiful and happy face holding a warm smiles. He turned to me with curt nod before grabbing a seat next to the glass cabinet checking our short menu at his chosen table.

  Wow, I guess its my lucky day.

  Cara nudge me to get my attention, raising her brows. "God, you're drooling.." then glancing to the new comer who is busy reading the short list.

  "I think I'm going to have a headache", she said dramatically massaging her forehead. "Would you mind taking my place a bit?", she asked wiggling her brows suggestively.

  Oh, Lord. "Wha- -",

  "Thank you so much! You're the best boss ever." before I can protest, I was literally drag to the guy's table. "Hello, sir. Harry here will be your server.'' Cara told him like she was the fucking manager assisting him. ''Good luck!" she sing-songed before entering the kitchen high-five-ing with Barbara.

  Seriously! I don't want any embarrassment on my birthday, please..  I'm about to call Zoren to appoint him, but a clearing of throat next to me stopping me in doing so.

  "Hi.." Mr. Blonde greeted me with warm smile. Oh my.. my heart starts to race, fast.

  I am so captive by this beautiful stranger. Givingme his full view, cant help but to check him out. He has a dyed-blonde hair since the roots of it are brown. He have a warm and comforting smile that brighten my coffee shop.. and his eyes, they are pool of blue like Lou's, but different in many ways.
