Coming Home ( Being revised)

And So it Begins

Ramin work up to the sound of his alarm clock blaring in his ear.. 5am came way too quickly. He got out of bed stumbled to the bathroom and began getting ready.. His beard was stubbly so he decided to shave it since the Phantom had to have a clean shaven face. He was so excited to see Sierra again after what had happened yesterday. He threw on some jeans and a flannel, grabbed his keys and wallet, and then headed out the door to Sierra's room.

Ramin walked to her door and began knocking. " Sierra are you ready?"

" Good morning Ramin, sorry.. I've been running around like crazy this morning." She slipped on her shoes and grabbed her stuff.

" It is okay! I barely slept last night and did not want to get up this morning." Ramin was struggling with not having his kids with him, " Are you ready for our first official rehearsal?!"

" Of course! I have been waiting for this for so long! I couldn't ask for a better partner!" Sierra and Ramin headed for the elevator.

" Me either.. Where would you like to stop for coffee?"

" hmm I always love to try mom and pop coffee shops wherever I go.. Do you think we can find one of those somewhere?" While Sierra loved a good Starbucks coffee she could get that back in NY, she wanted to try something else.

" I am sure we can find one somewhere around here." Ramin pulled out his phone and found a perfect one on google. " Alrighty, ready to go?"

" Yup! Let's go!" Sierra was so excited to finally begin this amazing journey of Phantom of the Opera! 

Ramin drove to the coffee shop silent, he still had his children on his mind. This was the longest he had to go without seeing them and it was killing him, but he didn't want to bring down Sierra's mood so he tried to hide it the best he could.

" Hey, is everything okay? You've been really quiet." Sierra was growing concerned, Ramin was ever this quiet.

" Everything is fine! Sorry just super tired... I think we are almost to the coffee shop!"

" Okay, but if there was would you tell me?"

" Of course.. I promise I am fine.. I just am not used to my own bed and didn't sleep all that well."

" Okay Ramin.. I'm watching you though." She could sense something was wrong with Ramin but she didn't want to push him to tell her.

The two got to the coffee shop, it was a cute mom and pop owned shop that was downtown. Sierra and Ramin got out of the car and began to walk over. The inside was even cuter then the outside, it had a cozy, quiet environment.

" Good morning! How are you guys today?" A female probably around the age of 17 asked from behind the counter.

" Good morning! Can I just get a tall black coffee please?" Ramin was a simple man.

"Absolutely, and what can I get for you ma'am?"

" I will take a tall green tea please with 2 sugars." Sierra opted for tea to soothe her throat before a day of singing.

" Absolutely, that will be $6." The barista walked off to make the drinks while Ramin pulled out his wallet.

" Let me get it..you've been doing all the driving it's the least I can do" Sierra took his wallet and hid it in her pocket so he would have no choice but to let her pay.

" You're something else ya know that?" Ramin couldn't help but smile at her playfulness.

Sierra handed the barista money and took the 2 drinks, " Thank you so much! Have a great day." Sierra handed Ramin his drink and they headed for the door.

" off to our first day of rehearsal!" The two headed for Ramin's car and headed to the theatre for a long day ahead!
