Chapter 20 - Preparation for the Opening

After that day, Leo, Amy and Shane becomes busy in preparing the shop.

"Did all ordered stuff came?" Leo said setting up tables inside the shop, "Yeah, except for the parasols for the outside tables, according to the shipping company, it would come later this afternoon" Shane said tapping on her tablet.

"Leo come over here, taste this!" Amy shouted from behind the coffee shop's counter, "Just a moment" he yelled back.

"Hurry up, this will get cold" Amy yelled as she placed the plate on the counter top. Leo rushed and take a spoonful bite of the Tuna Pesto Amy cook. "It's hot, don't rush" she said, Leo's tongue was burned "Hmm fuck it's hot" he said as he tries to blow air in his mouth.

"Told you" Amy rolled her eyes and gets a glass of cold water, she handed it to Leo and he chugged it down quickly. "So how was it?" Amy asks.

Leo looked at her still feeling his burned tongue, "It's good" he said before drinking ice cold water again. "You sure?" Amy look at her about to burst in laughter. Leo just raised his middle finger at her and proceed in organizing the shop.

The three keep on working, tasting different dishes, arranging the tables, setting up coffee machines and making the shop look aesthetic and acoustic.

After a while, the three got so busy and Amy got tired of waiting for Leo taste every dish she cooks so she call on the three girls upstairs. She goes up the second floor and knocks on the main door.

"Hello? Anyone home?" Amy ask as she knocks on the door.

In a blink of an eye, a girl with messy green hair opens the door "Uhmm hey, Ms. Amy" she greeted her panting. "Did I interrupt you?" she asked concern.

"Uhmm no!" Hera answered with quickness, suddenly Cessina also goes to the door with messy hair and an innocent look on its face.

Amy was confused, "Uhmmm okay?, Would you girls be an angel and come downstairs? I really need your help" She asks politely.

The girls answered "Of course, will be right downstairs" before slamming the door. Amy just smiled because of their action, "Kids these days" she said before heading upstairs to call for Shye.

As she's about to open the door in the house, a soft lewd voice moans behind the door. Amy slightly opened the door and to her surprise it was Shye, she was on the couch with her legs spread on the table in front.

Amy was shocked and remained watching from the small gap of the door,

Shye's moans echoes all around the house, "Hmmm shit" she moans as she played with herself.

Amy was stunned from what she is seeing,

"Hmm Leo, that feels good" Shye mentioned his name, Amy smiled "You dirty bastard, you make everyone addicted" she said as she slowly closed and locked the door.

She decided to go down, and on the stair she came across with Leo about to go upstairs. She hurriedly grab Leo, "Don't go upstairs yet" she said with worry in her voice. Leo looked at her confused, "And, why?" he asked puzzled.

"Uhmm, I need you to fix the cupboards on the kitchen" she unknowingly said, Leo stood still confused "I just installed those, why would it need to be fixed?" he asks.

"Just go downstairs and take a look at it" Amy pushed Leo downstairs.

On the kitchen,

"See this looks like it need repairs" Amy said awkwardly, Leo laugh "You're getting old, Ms. Engineer, that's the design" he continued laughing. She just stood there awkward.

Leo forgets about going upstairs, so Amy grabbed her phone and texts Shye,

Amy and Shye's Conversation:

"Hello Shye, are u busy?" Amy texted first knowing what she's doing

"Not really, y?" she replied back

"Could you come down for a moment? Hehehe" Amy asks

"Sure, be down in a moment" she texted back.

End of Conversation.

Amy sighed and felt relief, "Hooh, that was close" she stated, from her back Shane suddenly speaks "What was close?" she asks smiling. Amy also smiled, "I'll tell you later honey" she said giggling, "Okay, girl" she also giggles.

After a while, the three girls sat on the newly installed chairs on the countertop.

"So how can we help?" Shye said enthusiastically, Amy laughed. "Ready your taste buds girls?" Amy yelled from the small kitchen of the coffee shop.

She comes out holding three plates on a tray, she gracefully placed each one of it. It was pastries elegantly plated, for Shye was a croissant paired with a decaffeinated black coffee,

"I do believe you don't want caffeine" Amy wink at Shye, she was touched from her sweet gesture "Thank you".

Cinnamon rolls covered with white chocolate drizzle along with an ice americano for Hera and lastly, freshly baked cookies with iced latte.

"Bon Appétit, enjoy your snacks" Amy tries to say it with a French accent but it only made the girls laugh. "Thank you, Mademoiselle", Shye answered with a flawless accent.

Everyone stood and admire Shye, "We didn't know you can speak French" Cessina said excitedly, "Yeah, but how did you learn it" Amy asked.

"I learned it for the same reason, he learned it" she whispers at Amy and pointed out Leo. Amy realized it and just nodded.

As the four girls bond on the kitchen, Shane was done on the organization of the shops tables, she started taking pictures of the shop making sure that it is very appealing to the eyes.

She saw the girls on the kitchen and she snap a photo of the them, she smiles "This shop will be great" she softly said.

Leo suddenly speaks from behind her, "I know" he stated surprising Shane. "Geesh, why do you have to always do that?" she punches Leo on the arm. They both laughed at each other.

Amy saw them and invited them over to the counter with a hand gesture, they walked towards the counter and Amy served them fresh plates.

After tasting, "Hmmm, this is so good" Shane was impresses by what she has ate,

"Told yah its delicious" Leo said to Shane.

The six of them enjoys the food served, Leo suddenly received a phone call, "I'll be right back" he said walking away from them.

Shane felt happiness and fulfilled, "Finally, the shop is close to opening" she exhaled with fulfillment. Amy hugged her, "It's all because of Leo's great secretary" she complimented Shane, "I think its because of you too" Shane stated back.

"Are you hitting on me?" Amy jokingly said, Shane laughed hard and suddenly have an idea. She took and set-up the tripod in front of the kitchen counter, "Let's take photos!" she exclaimed.

All the girls agreed and stood in front of the camera "3....2..1.. Coffee" they all smiled in front of the camera. Leo saw this, his heart smiled "I'll call back later", he said before hanging up the phone.

Leo walks towards the girls, "Shouldn't I be included in this?" he said in a manly voice, "S-sure" Shane was again intimidated by his manliness.

The five girls lined up and Leo was at the back of them, he spreads his long arms hugging the five of them with a genuine smile forming in his lips, "Smile!!" he said before the camera shutters.

Amy notices Leo still hugging all of them, "You sure are too clingy?" she teased him, he was immediately embarrassed "Just got caught up in the mood" he said bluntly. The atmosphere felt awkward right after.

In order to break the ice, Shane speaks "Let's end the day here",

Amy answered back "Y-Yeah, she's right".

The three girls helped them in cleaning, they washed the plates, Leo and Shane closed the lights and Amy tidied up the counter. After that the three girls, went up stairs along with Amy.

Leo and Shane was left at the shop, with the lights closed.

"We're almost there" Leo said staring at the shop from the front door,

"Yeah" she softly replied back with happiness in her voice.
