"Hi Miss, welcome to the Witches Brew. What can I get you?"
"I want a small iced coffee with two shots of espresso."
"Yes, ma'am. Long night?"
She nodded tiredly.
"Here you go. I think you are our last customer for the day so I went ahead and got you a large."
She reached into her purse for six dollars and I stopped her.
"It's on the house, just go home and cuddle up on the couch with your coffee. Have a great night."
"All of the people I know are gonna hear about the 'skeptical new coffee shop'," she smiled warmly.
I giggled and waved her goodbye.
"Hey, Rick! We're closing up, you can go ahead I'll clean."
"Thanks, Rowe!"
I watched him bounce towards the door excited to go play with his pets. I know how he feels. I sat in the cafe waiting till nobody was in the streets. I didn't want anybody to bust in my windows if they saw me with my wand.
I picked up the wand and directed it at certain points. I swept up all the dust and levitated it to the trash can, put all the cups in the sink for me to wash later, and just made the cafe spick and span. I finished up and left. I walked home.
I opened the door to my home and I was greeted by Rosie, my beloved black cat.
And yes, it's very stereotypical of a witch to have a black cat, but she was calling my name at the shelter.
"Hey, Rosie. I bet you're hungry aren't you."
She walked over to the spilled bag of cat food.
"I guess you can take care of yourself."
I swept up all of her food and made myself some ramen noodles.
Finally settled on the couch with Netflix. Next thing I know my phone is ringing and it's my best friend, Jade.
"Oh my God, Rowe! Get over here ASAP, I have great news," she was so excited I put my ramen away far enough Rosie couldn't get it.
I knocked on Jade's door and I was sucked into the mess of her apartment.
"This is my cousin Dean!"
I looked at him and saw his Rolling Stones t-shirt, it was similar to my Queen tee.
"Hi, I'm Dean."
"Hey, I'm Rowe!"
He looked stunned by my cheery accent that counteracted my dark clothing.
"He just moved here, he lives where Ms. Lamaze used to live," Jade said awkwardly.
"Oh, did Ms. Lamaze move out?"
"No, she died." Jade was surprised I didn't know.
"Well Dean, it was nice to meet you, you can come by anytime. I live at the end of the hall but Rosie is probably eating my food as we speak soooo," I walked slowly and awkwardly towards the door.
He waved goodbye and Jade looked insulted as I walked away briskly.
I opened the door to exactly what I expected, my food in the mouth of my cat.
"Jesus Rosie."
I waltzed into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. My hair was big and tangly in a thick, auburn mess. My mascara was all underneath my eyes and my shirt clung to my curves. I wasn't huge but I was curvy. I liked them though, I changed into my supernatural shirt and shorts and lied on the couch with Friends playing on repeat.
