After leaving my office I headed to a coffeehouse. A bell jangled while I walked in and the smell of pumpkin spice lattes fille the air. Ugh I hated the smell; it's to sweet and pungent and makes me want to hurl. In front of me were two young lovers. They had matching plaid scarves and were holding on to each other. Her boyfriend whispered sweet nothings in her ear and she laughed. "Next" the barista called.
"Ah I'll have a pumpkin spice latte with extra whip cream and nutmeg and he would like a mocha with whip and chocolate drizzle." She said confidently. ( oh my goddess she is such a basic girl) He nudged her " oh and 2 brownies" her boyfriend blushed when the barista laughed.
"Next" the barista called.
" I would like a large black coffee with a double shot of expresso, please" I added with a light smile. She blushed "Of course, can u get a name for your order?"
"Rozalyne" I used my alias as it was not her business. She hurriedly say " that's $3.71 ma'am and it will be right out".
As I waited on my drink I saw the two lovebirds caught up in there own little world.
" honey won't you try my drink?" The girl said flirtatiously.
" Caroline you know I don't like pumpkin" he said softly.
" Boo you are no fun hmph" Caroline said in a childish tone.
" An order for Miss Rozalyne" another barista called out. For some reason there was a slice of orange marmalade pie with my order and on closer inspection my name had roses all around it. "Sir I didn't order any dessert".
"I know ma'am it's from Mabel one of our baristas that took your order" he replied casually. I turned and saw that
Mabel's cheeks had flushed bright red knowing that she was caught.
"Well thank you Miss Mabel for the sweet surprise" I said while smiling and before I turned away I gave her a wink. Her face flushed once again, but this time she was as red as a cherry.
"Of course, please come back soon". Her voice was quite, but you could hear her if you where paying attention. I waved and then left the shop. Time to head home I thought while taking a mouthful of my bitter caffeinated happiness.
Once I arrived back to my house I tossed the keys into the bowl by the door, took off my shoes and made my way to the kitchen. The cold black tiles felt amazing under my feet. I decided I would make some rice and habanero honey glazed chicken. I put walked towards my back door, grabbed my basket of the counter and slipped on a pair of sandales. I made my way to the scallions,habaneros, garlic, onions, and rosemary.
Once I gathered everything I sat down with my hands on the ground and thanked the earth mother for all she had provided us with. Slowly I went back inside and started preparing my dinner ;after all she would be mad at me if I didn't eat again. Ahhh my precious Scarlet . Nym relives some of her memories which shall be explained later as the story goes on.
