I got up with sore muscles I assume it's because I didn't stretch thoroughly so I'm feeling the aftermath. Regardless, I still got up and got ready to head over to Moshi Moshi Cafe. I wore a pair of light wash jeans and slipped on a white t-shirt. I put on my favourite pair of Converses and grabbed a backpack with my lunch and a water bottle. I locked the door and ran out with a granola bar in my mouth.
I had a giddy feeling inside me. I walked in the front door and the little bell-jingled signalling has entered. It was just like a scene from an anime. Just then a petite female with long hazelnut hair her bangs gently caressing her face. She was adorable. She reminded me of your stereotypical anime little sister. "Welcome to Moshi Moshi cafe ma'am."
"Oh, I'm here for training?" I said.
"Certainly, please come to the back with me ma'am. Your supervisor is in the back. Lauren, correct?"
"Yes but you can just call me Lori uh..." realizing I don't know her name.
"Shayla," she said.
"Thank you, Shayla"
"Ok please wait here. Eli should be back soon. Excuse me but I must get back to work." She said bowing before walking away.
I sat there for a while before checking my phone for any messages and putting it back in my pocket. Just then I felt a presence in the room with me, I tensed up and slowly looked behind me. I saw a male with raven black hair and bangs clipped to the side with a little mushroom clip. His hair went down to his mid-neck. He was beautiful he had a slender figure yet with a bit of muscle. The way he carried himself was elegant yet with confidence.
"Welcome, Lauren. Shall we start?" He said softly with a friendly smile.
"Yes. What shall I do first?"
"Well, first we need to get you into your uniform. Do you know your size or should we measure you?" He asked while leading me to a room with multiple lockers. To be honest I didn't really know my size I've never really gone out to buy clothes or at least I never checked my size. I had either just worn my brothers hand me downs and sweatpants that I found at Goodwill.
"No, I don't my size."
"That's alright let me go get a measuring tape" before walking out of the room. I took this time to look around. there was a window that let the sunshine in. Some of the lockers had names on them while others didn't. Before long he was back and asked me to raise my arms to a 90 degree. before he started measuring me. It was awkward to me, I've never been measured for clothes, let alone by a guy.
"Alright, so I'll go get you a medium." he then left once again. He came back and told me to change and put my things in lockers without a name. He proceeded to close the curtains and turned on the lights. I nodded before he walked out and closed the door behind him. It was a comfortable fabric, but I needed help with the corset. So I opened the door so that only a crack was opened and asked him if he could get a female to help me with the corset. He nodded and went to go a call a female employee.
"Hey again, Lori. Here I'll teach you how to put on the corset. And for starters, you have it on backwards. This corset the lace-up is suppose to be in the front." She said before teaching me a step-by-step on how to tie it. It was confusing but it reminded me of when I need to switch the laces on my cleats.
"Alright, you're ready. If you have any other questions don't be scared to ask me." She said before she opened the curtains and taking my hand. "Now we should hurry we don't wanna keep Eli waiting."
