"Miss?" the stranger asks with a confused yet worried voice
I hear a stranger with a deep yet sweet voice call out to me. I try my best to compose myself then look up to the stranger. His eyes were green, the green that brings the earth back to life after an unforgiving cold and his hair a light brown. He was wearing a black apron with black formal pants and a white formal shirt. You could tell he worked out by the way his upper body popped from his white shirt.
"Miss?"
I snap back into reality then straighten my back
*coughs*
"Yes?"
" um well I couldn't help to notice that you looked sad once you entered the café, would you like a coffee? Or perhaps a cake? The stranger asks with a smile
*sniff* " no thank you"
*he clicks his tongue* and then grabs another chair and places it at my table and then proceeds to sit then stares at me intensely
Confused by his actions I tried to move my eyes away from his and try my best to not make eye contact and still feel his eyes on me. I slowly turn my eyes to look at him and then finally making eye contact with him
He snaps his fingers then stands up from his chair
"That's it, you look like a strawberry cake type of girl"
He smiles at me then walks away into the kitchen
I watch him walk away still being confused. I wait for 3 minutes at my table, with my thoughts all over the place.
"hey" Mr. stranger says then places a strawberry cake in front of me
"Here is your three milk strawberry cake madam " he smiles at me then sits down across me
"Why are you giving me this?" I ask
" oh don't worry its on me" he says
"Um thank you but what I meant is why are you doing all this for me? You don't even know me?" I say
" do I have to know you? To make you feel better?" he lays back on his chair " you know they say strangers are the best people you can talk to because they won't judge, well it's not my place to judge either way" he sits up from his seat then goes in the back of the counter and then comes back with a coffee in his hand and with sugar packs and milk in his other hand then places then of the table.
" I didn't know how much sugar you would like in your coffee so I brought these" he says
Then proceeds to sit back on his chair
" so wanna talk about whatever is in your mind?"
I look at him shocked then chuckle and for some reason I felt safe and like I could talk to him about anything
" my mother died when I was young and well since her death my father had me practically trained to one day take over his company and I worked so hard for that company that some days I would wake up in my office and then out of nowhere my father tells me that he rather give his company to a kid he just learned about then to me simply because I'm a woman"
"Your dad sounds like a dick"
I laugh
" yea he is.." *signs* " I don't know what to do now" I say as I rub my coffee cup
*looks down at the table *" you know my parents kicked me out my house with nothing but the clothes I was wearing just because I didn't want to become a doctor like them" he looks up at me and " well look at me now I own a café and it isn't to shabby" he smiles at me " and you know what I see?"
"Hm?" I ask
" I see a woman who is strong, determined… beautiful and for what you have told me I can say that you can overcome this situation. So eat your cake and drink your coffee and pick yourself right up."
he says then walks towards the kitchen
I smile then gain my confidence back I look over to him as he leaves
" hey! I never captured your name!" I yell
He look sat at me then smiles "Anthony"
* I smiles*
" Katerina"
