The beautiful dawn of morning with the birds chirping their little songs and the red-orange leaves going the opposite direction as the number of vehicles zooming past the coffee shop. I look out the clear wide glass window at people in their business suits pushing their way out of the busy crowds trying not to be late for their meeting and seeing women holding hands with their kids on the busy sidewalk in National City.
I stopped observing the busy street to drink the rich taste of the strong and creamy texture of the coffee and the aftertaste is sharp and clean with a balance of bitterness and sweetness that blends perfectly.
A stunning raven-haired woman stopped striding like a run model on a catwalk and standing up above me and give me a generous smile, "Um, excuse. I know this is a big favor to ask from a stranger but I need to use the lady's room and I wanted to ask you if you can watch my kid for me for like maybe a minute or two."
I observe her outfit and she has on a women's black leather double-breasted blazer with three buttons on her right with another three buttons on the left on her blazer and a women's silk white designer blouse underneath her leather blazer that shows every inch of her perfect curves. Pairing with black leather trousers that perfectly hug her legs. A light pink designer watch engraved with the two letters of "LA" on the inside of her watch is perhaps an important initiative to her. Also, a single rose gold hoop with a diamond on top of the ring is located on her married finger.
I noticed a little figure behind the raven hair woman and the little figure has on a white sundress with a little sunflower logo on her left side of her chest and her hair is like her mother but more curly and beautiful hazel eyes I ever saw in my lifetime.
I smiled at the little figure, "I'm (Your Name) and who are your little ones?" The beautiful stranger assumed that you were capable of watching her daughter so she went to use the lady's room.
"Lacey." She greeted me with a smile and put her hand out for me to shake it. And I took her small hands into mine and return a smile.
I gesture Lacey to take a seat across from me, "Lacey, do you ever try their mystery flavor ice cream?" I mumble.
"No, my mommy told me that ice cream is not a normal breakfast food. So, I will just stick to dinosaurs shape pancakes." She said with a giggle.
"Your mom will not know that you had ice cream for breakfast. If we don't say anything about it." I put both of my hands up like I don't know the answer to a math problem.
"Deal." She said with a huge grin on her face and high five my hand.
We ordered the mystery flavor ice cream and the waitress said, "If you figure out the mystery flavors. Then you can make your ice cream with your choice of the name on the menu.
The ice cream has an unusual sour quality that you can sense on the roof of your mouth the moment you put a scoop of ice cream in your mouth. It tastes like tomatoes, "I think it's tomato flavor or tomato soup."
"It does have the tomato flavor but the after taste has pineapple and I taste a little of something meaty." She scooped more ice cream in her mouth. I put one more scoop of ice cream in my mouth and Lacey was right about being meaty and the after tastes are sweet like a pineapple.
I see Lacey jumping up and down like a kangaroo ready to kick someone, "IT'S HAWAIIAN PIZZA. MY FAVORITE!"
I grab my coffee and chugging it as if I thought I was in a contest of how fast can you drink it. The coffee burns my throat and I started coughing so hard and the rest of the coffee spill on to my shirt.
Lacey then gave me her water, "Thank YOu foR SaviNg me."
She laughs, "I didn't want my new friend to die on me, plus, mommy would get mad at me."
"I'm a friend now, how about a best friend?"
"No, we can't be best friends but we can be a mega best friend." She declared openly and everybody looked at us like we were crazy.
"Shhh... keep it down, Lacey. I don't want anyone to be jealous that you are my mega best friend." I smiled.
The waitress came to our table with a lot of napkins in her hands and give them to me, "Will, aren't you a smart young woman. You got it correct and also save your mom. So, what kind of ice cream do you want us to put together?"
My eyebrows furrowed at what I heard from the waitresses just said about saving her mom but I am not her mom.
"I am not her m-"
"I think kale ice cream because my mommy always complaining that they need to make more kale things."
I look at Lacey with a weird and questionable look on my face, she didn't even deny that I'm not her mom.
"Who said I always complained?" I turn around and see Lacey's hot mom with her arms crossed in front of her breasts. She looked at me with her eyebrows raised and then at the ice cream, "And you brought my child ice cream after she ate a healthy breakfast? Do you have a good explanation for this?"
"I do", I look at Lacey and then to her mom.
"I think you need to buy me dinner first and then we can see if marriage fits in that category." She smirked. I look away and blushed like a hot tomato about ready to be pop.
"Sweetheart, it's time for us to meet your principal."
"But mommy, I having too much fun with Miss (Your Name)." She came beside me and pulling on my sleeve like she wants me to confirm.
I smiled at Lacey, " We did but it's time for you to go but we will meet again."
"You promises?" She raises her pinky finger out for me.
I connect my pinky finger to her and smiled, "I promise."
She smiled and looked at her mom, "We can go now, mommy." Took her mom's hands.
She gave her a small smile and then looked at me, "Thank you again for watching Lacey. I want to repay you but I have to go but here is my business card. If you need anything, just call." I took the card in my hands and thank her.
They started leaving and then Lacey ran back to me and gave me a big hug, "Bye, friend!" And left.
The waitress tapped on my shoulder, "So what do you want to call this Kale ice cream?"
"I have something that came to mind."
