-Here's the first chapter of "cafe love" please comment your thoughts-
CHAPTER 1 It was a typical Friday afternoon in the choca mocha cafe, where I sat waiting for customers. I heard the bell ring as the door opened. It was my favorite customer, Max. He was always polite and kind. "Hi Rinny." he said walking up to the counter. Rinny was a nickname he had thought up for me. It was short for Corrine.
"Hi," I copied "Is it the usual again today." I remember every time that Max always ordered a caramel cookie with a coffee on a Friday.
"Yes please," he said "and a date." He said this as quietly as he could, but I still managed to hear him.
"Did you just say what I thought you said?" I asked smiling
"Maybe," he replied "Depends on what you heard…"
"Well its a yes, if what you said is true, is it?" I realized that I was more relaxed about it than he was
"How about Sunday?" he asked "I'll do the rest." I nodded and gave him his order. He walked out the cafe leaving me hanging. I thought about what our date and what is was gonna be like.
Sunday came and today I really wanted to impress Max. He only ever saw me in an apron, but today would be different. I brushed my hair a thousand times and did my make up. Now for clothes. I eventually decided on white top and black bottom dress with black pumps. I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed. There was then a knock at the door, I rushed down stairs and opened the door. There he was. "You look fabulous!" he gasped but then slipped his arm through mine. I smiled. I mean what else could I do? He opened the car door for me and I stepped inside. When he'd got in he started the engine and we drove off together. "So where are we going?" I asked, flicking my hair back behind my shoulders "You'll see…" he replied.
When Max stopped the engine and got out, I still had no idea where we were. Max led me through a small village, up streets and round bends until we came to a small cliff, above a beach. There was a restaurant and Max lead me through there and sat me down at a table in a small room. "We've got this room all to ourselves." he said
"You really have done everything." I replied, looking at the menu. He smiled and sat down next to me.
After our meal, Max took me by the hand and walked me out of the restaurant and down onto the beach. I took my shoes off and we walked side by side, hand in hand. The sand felt warm between my toes. It was only us on the beach.
As the sun went down, it created an orange glow across the sea.
"This is perfect!" I said
"I'm glad you think so!" As Max said this, he lifted me off my feet and swirled me round. When I landed, I wrapped my arms around his neck and I felt his arms coming together around my waist. Our eyes connected. Our lips moving closer and closer to each others until… finally they touched. We were kissing! As our lips parted I saw Max smile and I smiled back. A sketch artist who had been watching us from the top of the cliff shouted "Wonderful!" me and Max looked embarrassed "If you want I can give you this painting to you for half the price?" Me and Max walked up to the man and gave him the money. The picture was beautiful.
