Chapter Two
The weather seemed to change entirely by the time Sadie woke up, the Stars were shining brightly in the sky. Upon glancing out the window of her studio apartment she sighed. A frown crossed her face, some days were harder than others for her. Today was one of those days, she could feel it in her bones. As much as she wanted to stay in her apartment and hide from the day ahead of her, she knew that she couldn't. Today would be better due to the fact that she wouldn't be alone, and if she needed a moment alone then she would be able to take a few moments to herself. But that was something she hated, showing her weak side in front of people. Finally, Sadie got up from her bed and went into the shower. She let the water wash away everything that she was holding deep inside of her.
Once she finished washing herself, she got out of the shower and dried herself off before placing on skinny jeans and a dark pink t-shirt. Glancing at herself in the mirror, Sadie knew that she looked like death, but waking up at 4:30am and not being a morning person was the life that she lead. Thankfully the coffee shop that she owned was a coffee shop and she could have as many cups as needed to keep her going. She placed on black shoes before grabbing her phone and placing it in her back pocket, then her apron. She wrapped it around her waist before grabbing the keys on the entry table and heading out and down the stairs to the café.
Sadie walked through the back door and then unlocked the side door. As she went to unlock the front door, she saw a familiar face standing on the other side. It was Clint. She shook her head at her male friend. In one of his hands, he held a white paper bag. A smirk crossed her face as she opened the door for him. "Those better be what I think they are." She informed him. He gave her a smile in response.
"Why would I bring you anything but these?" He responded. Sadie nodded and opened the door for him. He walked through the door and she shut it behind him. Clint walked over to the bar and sat down. Sadie stood across from him for a moment as he pulled doughnuts out of the bag. He placed her maple bar onto the white napkin and slid it over to her. She walked over to the coffee maker and began making a fresh batch of coffee that would get her through the day.
She waited a few moments before pouring herself and Clint a hot cup of coffee. She left his black and placed cream and sugar in hers. Sadie sat down her green cup and his purple one. She sat across from him and took a deep breath before looking across at her friend who was already eating his doughnut. "Thank you. I really needed this today." She told him. He nodded his head and waved his hand.
"Its not a problem." He assured her. "Thank you for the coffee." Sadie gave him a smile before taking s bite of her own doughnut. She never knew where he got the doughnuts from but they made it a tradition on mornings when he would come back from missions. Sadie knew that she wasn't supposed to know about his job. But since she moved to New York, the two have gotten close. He was her closest friend, she was well aware that he disappeared for long periods at a time. One day, she got up enough courage to ask him about his job, at first he lied and told her that he was a business man. Then he caved and told her he worked for an agency that was close to the CIA. He didn't give her any names, but he told her at least that much. Sure, she would worry about him from time to time when she wouldn't see him for days or weeks on end, but he always told her to never worry about him, and that is exactly what she did.
Sadie took a deep breath and took a sip of her coffee before eating a few bites of the doughnut in front of her. "How was it?" She simply asked, not wanting to ask too much about whatever task he had at had.
"Fine, nothing I haven't done a hundred times before." He stated. Sadie nodded her head slightly.
"Where did you go?" She glanced around the café, making sure that there was no one else in the café with them. For the most part, her employees arrived at five in the morning, but sometimes a few dedicated employees decided to show up. Clint would always leave before any of her employees arrived.
"Germany." Clint informed her before reaching into his black jacket pocket. "Don't worry, I got you a present." He placed a shot glass on the table. She couldn't help but smile.
"You know me to well." Sadie said with a smile, picking up the shot glass and inspecting it, making sure that he didn't pick up one that was similar to the other ones he had picked up for her. This shot glass, was a little beer stein.
"You don't have that one." He assured her. Sadie rolled her brown eyes, he did know her entirely too well.
"I know I don't, I'm just getting a closer look at it." She argued before giving him a smile. "Thank you Clint, but you do realize that it was initially a joke."
"I know, but you're stuck here all the time. It's the least I can do." He said. Sadie faked a smile, but she knew he could tell the difference between her genuine and fake ones. When she first started hanging out with him, he always encouraged her to get out and see the world, but she wanted to stay in New York City. It was a long way from her home in Georgia. Sadie didn't even think she would make it this far. Even if she got out and saw the city more she thought he would be happier. She simply didn't have the time to do so. It wasn't that she didn't trust her employees, but she didn't want anything bad to happen to this place.
"Thank you." She told him once more. The pair sat in silence for a moment.
"I should probably get going. Clint informed her, Sadie nodded her head.
"Don't worry, I'll clean up." She assured him, he got up off of his stool and looked at her. She could feel his glance as she gathered the mugs and empty napkins and the white paper bag. Sadie placed them into the back garbage, and walked out to find him still standing in the café. She raised an eyebrow, not quite sure what he was still doing here. By the time she got back from cleaning up, he was usually long gone. She went to speak, but instead she found Clint's arms wrapped around her. Her brown eyes widened at the sudden hug from her friend. Now this was something that she had only experienced a hand full of times in her life from Clint. The two of them were not good at showing emotion, period.
Taking a deep breath, she placed her arms around his neck. "How did you know it was a rough day?" She asked him, her voice barely above a whisper.
"I can tell, Sadie. I read people like books." He reminded her. Her head nodded slightly.
"Yeah I know." She said with a sigh. Sadie pulled away from him and took a step back, wrapping her arms around her waist. "So when is your next mission?" She asked doing her best to change the subject from what she knew he was to bring up next. Clint shrugged his shoulders, looking down at his friend.
"It should be in a few weeks, or a few days. I never know until a few days before." He told her.
"Don't be a stranger." She told him as he walked to the door. She gave him a small wave and he walked outside, disappearing into the morning light. Sadie took a deep breath and prepared herself for the day ahead.
