'Ding'. I hear the small bell ring as I finished the customers order. I look up to greet a tall, slim but a bit buff guy and I start to begin with his order. He didn't look familiar, he was probably new to this area cause I've never seen him before. "Good morning, what would you like to order?" I said to him with a smile. "Hey umm, can I get a regular latte with soy milk please?" "Umm sure, sugar with that?" "Yes please" he replied to me with grin as he gazed at the coffee machine. "That would be $5.50 please" I said as I pressed the screen on the counter with his order. "Umm sure" he said as he began to open his wallet and hand me the change. I counted the change just to make sure it was correct. "Name for the order?" "Umm, Rakuyama." I pressed the keyboard accordingly to what I heard . I hope I spelt his name correctly to give him a good impression of the café.
"Hey Kanjiro, can you please take that order?" "Sure, sure." I quickly begin to put the espresso shot into a coffee mug and add hot water to dissolve the espresso. I added cold soy milk to a jug and begin to froth it. The bubbles floated to the top making it nice and fluffy. I slowly began to add the soy milk into the espresso making a mixture and added sugar to it. Instead of leaving the top plain, I made a heart. I really hope he doesn't notice I did it, it would be pretty embarrassing. I closed the cup off so he hopefully just drinks it and not notice it.
"Order for Rakuyama." The same guy came to the counter and took the cup carefully to the area where you add extra sugar and grab straws. He took the lid off the cup and looked my way. I didn't know why he was looking at me until I noticed that he took the lid off. I begin to blush of the sight that he was smiling at me cause I made it. He tore the packet of sugar and added it and began to stir it in.
'Ding'. Once more the bell rings and I begin to take the order. A few minutes go past from all the orders I took. "Hey umm, some guy left this for you" my coworker handed this piece of paper folded up. I open up the paper and read what is says.
Hey, thanks for the great coffee. I will be coming here from now on. See you then!
I'm not sure but I actually think I blushed from the few words this person wrote. I don't even know this person but they somehow made my day. "Excuse me, do you remember who gave you this?" "He was tall, green eyes and brown hair". Ahhh, it was the same guy I served that I did a heart on his latte.
