One
I roll over to the other side of my small bed, groaning, as the blaring alarm goes off. I open my eyes and look at the small digital clock, 6 am it reads.
'It's too early.' I moan to myself, work starts in an hour. After forcing myself out of bed I pull off my pj's and pull on plain black pants, and a simple, long purple shirt. I eat a small breakfast and head out the door.
I arrive at the coffee shop, where I work 8 hour shifts every day. The pays not the best but I make enough to live off of.
I'm about 20 minutes early so I start to take chairs off the tables, and start doing some light cleaning. When the clock on the wall says 7:00 I turn on the little open sign and wait for the customers.
A few of the early morning locals start to trickle in. Ordering coffee, and starting off the day. At noon I take a break, Letting one of the other employees take my place, thinking about how this is yet another boring day.
At 12:30 I return. The coffee shop is mainly empty. As I start cleaning a lonely table a tall man wearing a tweed jacket and a red bow tie walks in. He walks over to the counter and takes a look at the menu.
'Hello, I'll take a small coffee." He says smiling.
'Hi. Alright, 5 ponds. '
He hands me the money and smiles.
'Nice day, isn't it?' He says, looking around as I walk over to the small coffee machine behind the counter.
'Well, I'd hope so,' I say, ' I don't really get to leave here too often. Short breaks.'
'Shame, ' he smiles, I nod.
'Well, here's your coffee. You waiting for anyone? '
'Nah, just me.' He says and walks over to a small table toward the back and sits down.
It's always nice to meet such nice people, there's not many of those anymore…
Just then there's a loud bang from the back room.
'Blimey!' I say, a few people look up from there morning papers and coffee.
I walk through the door way to see what caused the sound, Hoping that it's just jimmy or Michelle, or one of my other coworkers.
