Chapter 1 At the cafƩ
The dappled sun shone through the trees, creating mysterious shadows, the blue sky was dotted with fluffy white clouds that drifted lazily in the gentle breeze, the blazing midday sun shone relentlessly on the hikers, and the roads shimmered in the heat of the midday sun, and the sunlit skyscrapers pierced the hot, blue sky.
The afternoon sun bathed the buildings in its warm light; specks of dust seemed to dance in the shaft of afternoon sunlight that slanted through the cafƩ windows.
I stood dressed in black leather trousers paired with a crop top, an apron tied around my waist as I carried trays of food to different customers, the CafƩ was a fancy one, designed for both the classy and poor, I served food of different kinds, our best food was the Italian kind as the owner was from Italy, the walls were painted golden giving it an amazing palace flare, the different menu was hanged on different pillars, freshly plucked roses on each table, and a soft blues playing in the background.
The amazing aroma that left the freshly baked bread I carried made my mouth water as I placed it gently on my customer's table; my stomach grumbled begging to be fed.
A soft tap on my back startles me as I turn around to first meet a muscled chest, a smile immediately forms on my face the moment I see the owner of the chest.
"Matt!" I yelled hugging him, a bright smile on my face.
"Mia!" he said patting my head.
"So you finally decided to visit me, I was thinking you would visit me after when I turned a hundred-year-old," I said dragging him to the counter with a stern look on my face.
"Awww you look cute when angry," he said softly pinching my cheeks.
"Matthew!" I grumbled glaring at him.
"Amelia," he said chuckling.
"This isn't funny" I shoulder and gave him a cold glare, he quickly sobers up, muffling his laughter as he stared at me.
"What the fuck is funny," I said glaring at him.
"Nothing Mia, I'm sorry for not coming to see you I have been busy with work you know"
"Yeah yeah, that one excuse" I grumbled.
"Which is the truth, Mia," he said patting my head.
"So how is my darling Amelia doing," he said pulling me to a booth.
"I have missed you, I had a lot of things to tell, and I missed my gossip mate, my best friend," I said pouting my lips.
"You could have called," he said with a cheeky smile.
"Like I didn't try that," I said glaring at him.
"And?" he questioned with raised eyebrows.
"And it never fucking went through matt, always going into voice mail," I said glaring at him; he seemed to heave a sigh of relief as he gave me a sly smile.
"I have missed you too hazelnut," he said pinching my cheeks with a wide smile on his lips.
"What would you love to eat?" he said picking up the menu.
"French toast and scrambled eggs" I hurriedly said with a cheeky smile.
"Oh I see someone has been craving for those" he chuckled calling Katie my co-worker.
She hurriedly came to our table, straightening her dress.
"Oh hey Matt, you finally came around," she said with a sweet smile.
"Yeah I did" he smiled looking at me.
"So what would you like?" she asked sweetly, batting her lashes trying to get his attention.
"Yeah French toast and scrambled eggs for Mia, then a cup of cappuccino for me," he said still staring at the menu.
"Is that all?" she questioned biting her lips.
"Yes," Matt said finally sparing her a glance, she takes the opportunity to bite her lips seductively, batting her eyelashes she walks off swaying her hips slightly.
"Whoa," he said shaking his head.
"She went hard this time," he said chuckling.
"You should give her a try matt," I said with a soft smile.
"Yeah Mia, but my job, you know it's in Italy, very far from here how would I communicate with her"
"You know there is this new device called a Smartphone," I said glaring at him.
"And what about seeing her?" he asked.
"You can always book a flight for her matt or visit her," I said folding my hands.
"Easier said than done Mia, moreover I'm gay," he said with a sly smile.
"You are gay!" I exclaimed.
"No silly," he said chuckling.
"But I can't date Katie"
"Why? Is anything wrong with her?" I asked my eyebrows raised.
"No Mia nothing is wrong with her"
"Then why do you keep turning her down, she has been trying to get your attention for like forever" I exclaimed raising my hands.
"That's it Mia I don't want a girl that seeks my attention, I want to be the one to be following her like a lost puppy"
"You are just looking for a silly excuse to not date her right?" I said folding my arms.
"Yeah" he smiled looking everywhere but me, I sigh heavily as Katie comes in with the food we ordered, she tried to get Matt's attention again but he wasn't even sparing her a glance.
"Here's your order," she said softly staring directly Matt, a deep frown etched on her face as matt continues browsing through his phone, she looks at me with raised eyebrows and all I could do was shrug my shoulders, she places my plate of food and leaves.
"Look how desperate she is, you are something else matt," I said digging into my food.
"Yeah yeah"
Matt phone suddenly lit up and he picks up immediately going into serious mode, within a second his face fell and a shocked expression was etched on his face.
