Raivis perked up at the jingle of the bell alarming him that a new customer had entered the tiny coffee shop. He left his previous task to face the customer that was now standing by the counter.
"Go. . .good morning sir!" He stuttered. Despite having worked there longer than any other employee he will never get used to being around people. Working at the coffee shop was never his own choice in the first place. He was asked,or from his perspective ordered, to do so by his very intimidating uncle who owned the little shop. The man had trouble looking for people who would work for him even though the job pays quite well. Perhaps the people were scared off by his creepy uncle.
Well at least the job provided him with some income especially now that he needed the money he sighed remembering his predicament.
"uhm hey did you get that?" The customer asked looking at Raivis questioningly
"Oh !" Raivis says snapping out of his trance
The customer looks at him seeming to be irritated by his lack of attention Raivis was preparing himself for another early morning scolding when the bell rung once again indicating another arrival . The petite blond prayed silently before looking up his face brightened thanking whoever for answering his prayer.
"Oh a customer already!" Elizabeta spied the irritated look on the customer's face then at Raivis' pleading expression before sliding into the counter and addressing the customer.
"I'll take it from here Raivis " Elizabeta whispers before turning her attention back to the customer. Her bright attitude seeming to ease the man out of his previous expression.
Raivis sighs making his way to the back of the shop to check fo some cleaning supplies.
"Hey you seem more out of it than usual" Elizabeta says as he reenters the front of the shop regarding Raivis with utmost concern.
"Did you and Edward get into a fight?" She asks seeming to have already finished serving the customer.
Raivis flinched at the mention of the other's name smiling weakly at Elizabeta
"It's nothing really he just asked me to move out nothing important" Raivis says bluntly not really noticing what had come out of his mouth before hearing a loud gasp from Elizabeta
" That bastard why haven't you told me sooner ! " Elizabeta shouts
" We. . .well not really. . .it's been a week since we kinda broke up a. . .and his girlfriend had already moved in. . ." Elizabeta released another loud gasp making Raivis look up at her horrified expression
"And you two made such a cute couple too! Oh you poor baby" she says hugging the small blonde protectively
" How could he do such a thing?!" She asks outraged by the news.
Raivis felt uncomfortable with the topic despite knowing that Elizabeta was probably asking out of genuine concern he did not feel comfortable discussing the issue, besides he himself was at lost for his lover's reason of suddenly breaking it off.
The break up was quite the shock for him and it had come in the most surreal way the situation was almost laughable. Raivis was afraid that if he would try to make sense of it he would just end up in tears with an audience of customers.
It wasn't until he was already moving his belongings into the room that his uncle had provided at the second floor of the cafe building that he realized that it wasn't just another weird dream.
" Uhm Liz? Raivis? What's going on" Lily asked as she entered the cafe eyeing the two figures that were huddled together curiously. At the sight of the blonde girl Elizabeta releases Raivis making him stumble. And throws herself towards Lily
"Oh it's just terrible Lily!" She says going about the story as Lily tries to tie her apron on.
Raivis sighs knowing that as soon as the two had already arrived he was as easy as forgotten well at least it saved him from having to deal with customers.
Due to his inability to interact with people, his usual tasks consist of cleaning after customers and sweeping the floors before closing up.
Sometimes he would venture into serving tables, though those instances never seem to end with a pleasant outcome .
Heaving a heavy sigh, Raivis put on his bravest face hoping that he would make it through this day with his limbs still intact.
