A small story I thought of last night and could not wait to unleash. please review

A young women with short wavy honey brown hair that she wore in a ponytail, wiped her forehead as the fresh, steaming hot coffee warmed around her. Despite the steam making her hot, she grinned, picking up the coffee and placing it in front of an older women.

"Thank's Katie, gosh I don't know what your secret is girl, but you make the best coffee," The woman took a few sips. A huge smile split her face.

"Thanks Miss Allura," Katie smiled, taking a rag and wiping down the counter.

"So tell me what your christmas plans are," The women said, putting her elbows on the counter and resting her chin in her hands. "Come on girl, don't you have plans with a special someone?"

Katie shook her head, "No, I work too much for anyone to fall for me or me to fall for someone else." She took the rag and wiped between the costumer's elbows.

Allura was a kind hearted women with white hair and wore a long purple dress with a purple coat. She was rich, but she always want to help people before money. She goes to the coffee shop everyday to talk to Katie and to grab one of her coffees that everyone loves so much.

"I told you, you need a break and I can convince Coran to give you time off," Allura offered, giving Katie a huge grin.

A sound from the kitchen made Katie and Allura jump as it started to smoke.

"The toaster oven blew up again, Katie do you mind?" Coran came out from the black smoke.

Katie nodded, grabbing some tools. "Have a good day Miss Allura."

Allura shook her head and then looked a Coran, who came out wiping black residue off his face. "Honestly Coran, you should give her a vacation."

"Trust me Miss Allura," Coran said, grabbing his mustache and smirking. "I have tried but she always refuses."

"I see…" Miss Allura said, watching Coran.

"After she lost her brother and father, she really has no one left at home but her mother." Coran leaned against the counter. "She wants to support her family."

Miss Allura nodded, taking some sips of her coffee. "The girl is pretty and talented.''

"Of course, she's the reason everyone comes here," Coran joked. "She's my secret weapon.''

Allura laughed when Coran did an evil grin.

"Oh Coran, you and Katie know how to make my day," Miss Allura said, walking to the door. "Take care and I'll be back, also keep working on the poor girl."

Coran nodded, "Take care Miss Allura."

A young man came inside the coffee house and sat down at a table. He opened his newspaper and started to read. He glanced over towards the counter and saw the owner polishing the table. He frowned when he did not see the cute barista girl.

Just then, a voice came from the kitchen. His heart started to beat as he glanced over. It was like an angel had come out of the room.

"Oven fixed, but you should really get a new one," Katie said, wiping her hands with rag.

"Yah I plan to do some shopping this weekend," Coran said, "How about a break."

Katie shook her head, "No can do boss. I got to work, and we have a full house." She motioned to the crowd of people waiting to take orders.

"Katie…" Coran started to say, but the girl already grab a pad and headed to the register.

The young man's heart pounded in his chest as she came closer and closer to him. He wanted so badly to say something, but his mouth felt dry. He prepared what he was going to say while the girl went to another table and asked them what they wanted. The young men frowned, watching her. He banged his head on the table wondering why she did not come to him first.

"Alright, give me about ten minutes," Katie said to the customers at the other table and then walked towards the young man.

"Hello Katie," The young man greeted, putting his paper down and showing his blue eyes.

"Hey there," Katie said to the young man who was now a regular customer.

The man smiled. She's talking to me, I mean she's really talking to me.

"What would you like?" Katie asked, getting her pad and pencil ready.

The men stopped for a moment and then looked at the menu. "Um, what do you suggest?"

Katie smiled and then pointed to one of the items on the menu. "I suggest the bacon cheese burger and a cup of nice warm coffee for this cold winter day."

The men smirked, nodding his head in agreement. "That sounds lovely."

Katie's smile widened. "Alright I'll place your order in and be right back with that coffee." Katie walked towards the kitchen.

The man watched at her with a smirk, She's so lovely and wow what a body.

Katie, who did not notice the man staring at her, wrote down the order and went over to start to make a cup of coffee, a smile on her face. The man leaned back, shocked by her beauty and everything about her.

…...

It was just about 1 o'clock when Katie's shift was over. She wanted to stay but Coran pushed her out the door and into the winter streets, with a laugh and a smile. Katie walked down the street into New York.
