Coffee Shop Part One (Hinata)

Every week, on the same day; I often visit the same quiet cafe shop, hidden away in the heart of the city. A place with calm music and few people that made me escape the busy life style of the city. The building is a medium size tower; the ground floor had multiple of shops but was facing towards the main street. This small cafe shop was embedded in the back corner in which vines overgrew, just barely covering the shop's name.

Inside, only a few chairs and tables were available for customers; and a small counter to order drinks. Next to the small counter, a glass displays varieties of tasteful treats for customers to choose from. And every time someone enters, instrumental music played in the background with the aroma of coffee and sweets.

Everything was calm and serene. And every week, I promised myself to visit this peaceful place for a cup of coffee and enjoy myself.

Today, as I enter the shop, a light bell from the door, chimes blending in with the music which continues to play an instrumental piece. I let out a silent sigh. This was the place I can call my own.

I went up to the counter and ask for my usual. I come here often enough for the barista to know what I usually order, along with a sweet treat.

However, I am greeted with an unfamiliar face with a large grin and bright blue eyes. He was definitely taller than me by at least a foot and he had large board shoulders compared to my small stature. His voice was deep and alluring when he asked me the question.

"I'm sorry, what would you like?"

I caught myself staring (probably with my mouth gaping like an idiot); clear my throat; now realizing that I was mesmerized by the new barista.

"A vanilla latté and a blueberry scone, please," I responded quietly. I must have sounded awkward because before I realize it; I was looking down at the cash in my hand.

"Understood; that'd be five dollars." He answered with a smile.

I gave him the money only to notice the large, tan hands that I was placing the money into. I lightly shook my head. What is going on? Somehow, my quiet serene place is starting to get warmer and tighter; as if it was just the two of us in this little shop.

Walking towards a table, I tried to control my breathing and took deep breathes. When did I get so nervous? This is my calm place, a place I do not have to think but enjoy the coffee and a book until I am ready to enter the chaotic outside world again.

Pulling out the book, I start to read while waiting for my order. But my eyes start to wander back to the barista. His back was turned but I can see him preparing my drink. As he turns around, I averted my eyes towards my book. I cannot help but steal glances at him but the way he moves was so confident and refine that it looks like he was moving with the music. In a way, it just soothed me as if watching a peaceful dance piece.

Just then, I notice him turning around, ready to walk around the counter to hand me my order. I quickly place the book in front of me, pretending that I was reading. I heard a light clank on the table and saw the steamy coffee and scone on it.

Looking up, I was greeted again with a large smile. I can't help but answer back with a smile myself, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Hope you enjoy!"

He walks away and went behind the counter. I look back down at my drink and saw something unusual. On it, the latté was decorated by its foam in a form of a leaf. I can't help but smile. This, was new.

I place my book on the table, brought the drink up and blew on the steam. Taking a sip, the sensation made me feel relax and forget all the troubles I had earlier. I look over towards the counter and saw he was helping another customer, still grinning away.

I guess there are more reasons to look forward to than a quiet cafe with music playing in the background every week now.

I hope you like it! I apologize for any grammar mistakes. I did thoroughly read it; so hopefully it's okay! Let me know what you think!
