It was a sunny morning, business was doing great. I was thinking of venturing into another business or might as well try this mutual fund investment. I was baking at the same time, rushing myself to put the cupcakes on the freezer cause the store will open at 9am. I still have 10 minutes. When I was putting cupcakes on the freezer. I heard the chimes ring. I forgot to lock the door. Then I saw someone's legs.
When I went up in a rush. "Good Morning! Red velvet cupcakes please, tatlo". I wanted to tell her were not open yet. But then again the customer is always right. Plus she's really pretty.
"Surely, Good Morning, It's you again. Would you like some coffee, cappuccino, frappe?"
I looked at her with a smile. She's really pretty. She was really surprised to see me.
"Sige, I want cappuccino" Her eyes was smiling. What a morning at Betty's cakes. She was carrying a book. Wearing sneakers, shorts, gray sleeveless with plaid polo shirt. Her hair was on lazy braided pigtails. She put her book on a table. A sign of letting me know that she will sit on that territory.
"Are you the owner of this shop?" "Yes, here's your cupcakes and I'll send your cappuccino in a while"
She paid the exact amount for the cupcakes and cappuccino, wow, she is a frequent customer of the shop.
"Nice to meet you, Berts" I was a little surprised she knew my name. Ten seconds after, I realized I was wearing an apron with my name on it. Funny me.
One of my barista came, Abby, she prepared the cappuccino. I took the cappuccino from Abby and said I'll take it from here. I approached my first client.
"Here's you Cappuccino, miss?" "Sofia, thank you" I left her with a huge smile. I couldn't take it. I couldn't hide it. I turned around. Immediately.
I came back behind the cashier station. Attending one customer after another, I was really busy taking orders, when chances are there to glance, I do check on her if she's still there. I was hoping if she's looking at me. Unfortunately, she wasn't. Maybe she's straight.She's busy writing something.
It was pass 10:30 she's gone. I didn't even see her leave. She left her book. I opened her book. Saw colorful sticky notes inside.
" Hi Berts, I just wanted you to know that you really look cute today. :D I'll see you tomorrow. Same time here at your beautiful shop. Same order na rin. The payment is at page 21. :))"
And I felt inspired. I hope it wasn't a play for a gag show or what. Cause I wasn't ready to be a victim. On the other hand, I thought I am that rusty. I still have the charm. I guess. This could be good.
