Barista (Ariana Grande)

Chapter 22

There's nothing more better than waking up with the person you want to spend your life with, greeting you with a genuine smile every morning, (not unless you had a huge argument) kissing you passionately like there's no tomorrow and telling you how much they love you without saying it.

"Good morning, babe. We have a meeting today with Scooter." My girlfriend said as she walked out of the bed with my huge shirt on with nothing underneath. Someone had a great night and that's me.

After I gave Joe my resignation letter, he gave me two weeks to rethink it and for him to prepare some of my papers before I leave the shop. Some of my colleagues and even Joe doesn't want me to leave, after all the years that I spend with them I ended up leaving after the promotion I got. It's a bummer but we're working for experience. Two weeks came and I didn't change my mind, I'm fully sure that I want to spend my every days with my girlfriend that I want to be my wife soon. Ariana and I have been planning to put up a coffee shop at New York, with my savings and her shares, though we're still finding a perfect spot where people can see it.

Lauren on the other side has graduated college after years of waiting, she fled to LA to work as a song writer of her girlfriend Camila and even referred to many more artist and producers by the cuban girl. They haven't come out to the public yet as a couple but they've been going out and dropping hints on them. Camila never spoke out about her sexuality in the media but she's known as a feminist and a huge lgbtq+ supporter, Lauren though is a rising song writer and her works were seen by some great artists and musicians. As far as I know, they've been lowkey living together for a couple of months now.

Loaded schedules of performance and interviews were seen in front of us when we met the manager. They made a long discussion of the flow of the month with their loaded work and after that they talked about a plan of a world tour soon. I sat there listening to their conversation not saying a thing that could ruin their focus, just there supporting my girlfriend. The meeting ended eventually, agreeing with the written schedules to the white board.

"Ari, these are the files you were asking me." Archie said, one of the staff on her team. My girlfriend smiled and thanked him, before dropping the folder on the table.

"Babe, Archie found this place. It's just less than an hour away. I think you'll like it." The woman pat my thigh to grab my attention, she opened the folder showing pictures of the place with the details on it.

I hummed as a reply and put my phone down, bring my whole attention to her, "I was talking to the supplier, he's showing the design of the tables and chairs."

"Are they good?"

I nodded my head slightly, "Hmmm, I'll take a personal look at it.. maybe tomorrow. Now, let's take a look at this." I slide my hand to papers in front of us.

Ariana and I have been busy separately, she's been working with her ongoing successful career and I'm creating my own business with her. It's hard putting up your own business with all the paper works and starting from scratch is no joke, but then with the help of the people from her team it was smoothly processing. From finding a different supplier from the products to interior designs and to finding a place to put up the shop, stressful as hell. Thanks for my degree and all the work experience I had, I can work it all out. We both agreed on the commercial space that is lend in front of us, it was not that big for a lot of people but it's big enough for me to manage. The business talk continues until both side as agree to the plan.

I parked my dark blue BMW 740i at the side of the road, the busy highway of New York makes time too long because of the traffic and the worst part is it made me late on my meeting. The backpay I received from my previous work was very huge that I decided to bought a new car from myself, Ariana didn't agree with it knowing that she have a lot of car that I can use but then I needed a car that I can call my own.
