DISCLAIMER: I do not own skins or any of the characters.
So… hello guys. This would be my very first fic, ever. Well, I just wanna try my luck and write all the thoughts I have in my crazy mind. I've been a reader for quite some time and I enjoyed it. I just wanna share mine as well. Thank you in advance! ;)
CHAPTER ONE
I walk under a gloomy day which covers Bristol for almost three consecutive days. I supposed it will stay that way for another two days since the headline in news weather forecast tells it all. I do not hate this kind of weather, it is tolerable actually. It's just giving some emotional feelings to persons who are lonely and sad; adding insult to the existing injury. Well, not all circumstances should always have positive results or outcome. I trail down at the sidewalk street to one of my favorite café's in town. I can see and adore all competitive stores and shops that fancy being the top seller when it comes to their items. I always prefer walking than using my car or buses or cab or whatsoever. Going back to the café topic, I've been so loyal and utterly in love in that place. I love coffees so no doubt with what passion I feel for frappes and other coffee forms and blends.
As I've entered the shop, JJ plastered a wide smile on his cute face upon seeing me. "Good morning, Emily. You look good today." His curly hair looks great on him, making him a bit cuter. "The uniform you requested to have is in the back up, I actually put it at the table which I cleaned before so that no…"
"J, it's okay. Thank you." I tap his shoulder to let him know that he's starting to lock on. "I'll get it." He gave me his nodding smile before storming at the kitchen area whilst he's starting to arrange the tables and chairs because after half an hour the café will be open for business. I found the blue polo shirt which has the name of the café on the upper left side with a black apron beside the shirt. I smiled at the thought that I get to decide on what I will do to my life now. Yes, my mum and dearest twin sister won't approve for all the things I make but life is too short. I just need them to understand me. I want to do all the things I want whilst I still can. Savor the moment of happiness, embracing the emotion of sadness and live the life to the fullest. Once we live life, we cannot rewind and undo it. One life, one chance.. so make the most out of it and mine? This. Working in this shop with my best mates and living the way I want it to be. Just a simple life. That's all I want and real mates with it. I'm contented, I am happy.
"Are you sure you wanna do this?" it was a blunt voice owned by an electric blue eyes which is standing behind me, having a spliff on her mouth. "Don't get me fucking worried about you Ems." I smiled at her protective words. Effy has been my best mate since we were 6. I developed some fucking crush on her which actually led us to be best of friends. She is incredibly stunning without making any effort to herself. She has this weird logical mind which I cannot fathom where it came from. She will just look at you and then she knows everything before you tell her. I sometimes think she is a mongoloid. She is one famous Alta Sociedad member which is being envied by most of the member on the society. She is hot, I can really say that.
"Ef, I am okay. I don't feel sick." I walk towards her and rested my head against the wall beside her. "I wanna do this and you know that this shop is my home. I wanna work hard for this." I gave her a half-hearted smile.
"I'm gonna be here as well." She said emotionless.
"Effy." I wanted to protest from her protective ways.
"Emily, I cannot let you get out of my sight." Her electric blue eyes boring into my soul when our eyes fight against each other for arguments. She's been there for me always and I am lying if I'll say I am not used to it well I am well used to have her around like a fucking shadow.
"I'm not gonna win over this topic right?" I raised my eyebrow and cross my arms against my chest.
"No." she let out a smoke to the window away from me.
I took a deep breath and let out a sigh. When it comes to me, Effy is so fucking paranoid.
"Okay." I smiled at her. "But.. I can do anything I want to do okay?"
Effy shot me a 'what the fuck' look. And I know what it means.
"The things that you wanna do will still need observation. But I'll take a look to consider those things." She's done with her fag and throws the butt outside. "Emily, if something will happen to you, I will never ever forgive myself. Katie told me to look after you whilst she's in New York. And even if she didn't ask me to do that, I will still look after you. Okay?"
I understand why she acts like that. She loves me. I found myself nodding at her and hug her. I don't need many friends. I just need real mates like her, like Effy. "I am not allowed to feel extreme feelings because I will strain my vital organ. I know that Effy, I know that." She kisses my forehead and wraps her slender arm at my shoulder before we went outside of the back up and starts to run the business.
"Come on. You need to show the world how fucking good is your coffee." Effy smirks at me with now soft eye expression.
We've been so busy for almost 3 hours and I can say that, I am enjoying this kind of diversion. JJ and Pandora are the one's getting most of the orders whilst I get ready the coffees and frappes and Effy is helping at the counter. Well, she really needs not to do the working because she was born affluent but knowing Effy, she will do everything for her friends. We keep on receiving orders and barely looking or talking to each other not unless we need to say something about the customers' orders. This is quite fantastic. We soon witness customers leaving contented and happy with our coffee and service. That's the time we took a break and momentary look each other. I noticed that it was past 2 o'clock in the afternoon at the wall clock. I think I forgot something.
"Meds." Effy is counting our sales in the float. Oh shit! Yes, that's the thing I forgot. "Now." She again uttered a word when she notices that I am not moving a muscle.
"Yes, I forgot my daily vitamins." I hurriedly went to my bag at the back up and grab my cute medicine box. I carry it everywhere since Effy will mostly ask me about it. "Thanks." I offered her a smile when I get back to the counter. We have at least 3 customers having their coffee outside the shop's table whilst Panda and JJ is talking animatedly at the other counter, laughing at the same time. Cute.
"Any distasteful feeling?"
" .okay." I took a glass of water since I can feel my throat is fucking drying. I realized I haven't taken any liquids since the shop was open for business. "You don't need to fucking ask me every hour Ef."
"I know." She's done with the counting. "Okay boss, check the sales." She taps the pen in front of me whilst I'm scanning my eyes on the paper she have earlier. I'm quite happy of the result. We have reached the quota for the day. Good sale.
We continue studying the expenses and income when we heard the sound of chimes at the door. I lifted my head and saw a pair of ocean blue eyes in front of the counter. She is gorgeous. That's the first thing came into my mind. She has a long wavy blonde hair, pink kissable lips, pointed nose and rosy cheeks. The best thing that catches my attention was her eyes. They're so blue. Effy has one as well but it is different from the girl's pair of eyes.
"One Vanilla bean crème and honey glaze." I am still not moving a muscle. This girl is a one hell dead drop gorgeous. Oh my god. I'm having a crush on her. I suddenly feel my cheeks flush at the thought of having a crush on a complete random stranger. I was pulled back to reality when I saw her eyebrow curled up.
"Hello. I am sorry. One vanilla bean crème and honey glaze coming up." I said nervously. I heard Effy scoffs and I glared at her.
"Please hurry up? I'm getting late." Customer is always right so yeah. I rolled my eyes because my god this girl has a serious attitude. "I cannot let the time wait for me miss."
"May I have your name?" well we mostly need their name to put in the plastic cup of frappe to know if which frappe belongs to whom. I stayed polite since after all she is still a customer.
"Naomi." She said with a little patience expressing on her face. Nice name for a gorgeous blonde like her.
Well? Can you please tell me if what do you think for this starter chapter? Thanks guys! ;)))))
