Joey
Two days.Two days since she's been in the hospital resting.Two days since she's been out.Two days for her to get back to normal.It took a lot to get her back to normal, but when it did, she was fully awake and alert. She was shocked to see where she was and who was there for her.The moment she woke up, I had called her doctor and called the others to come to the hospital. The doctor checked her out and said she was okay, back where she needed to be. Which was a good thing."Cynthia Rose, do you know how much you gave us all a scare?" Cynthia scolded her."I'm sorry." Rose had said at first, looking down. Then looked up and spoke again. "Does he know?""Your father?" Cynthia asked. Rose nodded. "I called him and told him, well mostly left a voicemail. But he hasn't called back or even texted to see if you were okay. Last time we spoke was a month ago when he told me he was leaving town for awhile and sent money for you kids."

As much as I'm loving this book, I think I'm gonna end the 2nd half of the story and write a new one. A 3rd part to it. Don't worry, Cynthia or Rosey is still gonna be the lead female in this part of the book. With the help of someone else. Can y'all guess who will it be? If no, you'll have to find out by reading more of the story.But thank you all so so so much, for sticking around with this book. Old or new. I know its taking awhile for me to update it but once I get more ideas for it I add it in a chapter. I have so much for this book, I just don't want it to end until the right time. And hopefully when that timing does come, it will be perfect with a happy ending. Or close to a good ending. Cross our fingers, especially to see how this book goes.If anyone have any ideas for up coming events or chapters please comment. Thank you and god bless.

It all started when I first met him when I was 18 years old, I just finished college with my master degree of an entrepreneur; basically running my own business of whatever I want. I had a few degrees up my sleeves but that's the one I say to people. As I was working in my coffee shop for the moment, when he came in and ordered his original: triple shot espresso with whip cream and a cream filling glaze donut. His order came to $15 and he left me a $5 tip each time he ordered his meal.He would come in at least 2x a day 5x a week. And each time he would come in, it was the same each time. He would flirt, joke with me about everything. And yes, I would take his flirts, what woman wouldn't right? He was a cute young man, built very tough like he used to do football in high school or college or even do that now. But then I thought about it, they say he eats these donuts there's no way he's a NFL player. But I never asked.About a few months after I had opened my shop, he c

I was a little girl who dreamt of big dreams of becoming what I want in life. I was only 7 years old. My parents always told me to dream big or don't dream at all, because I won't succeed in life. I always believe that.So by the time I had finished grade schedule and went to high school, I joined every club that I could. I was a very smart girl at my age and yes I got picked on but I didn't care. I didn't let it faze me one single bit. But for my smart cuteness, a lot of guys would hit on me ask me out but they only would use me to help them get their grades up. Some would try to get into my pants but I wouldn't allow them too.By the time I had graduated high school with a GPA of 4.7 and only being 15 years old, was a shock to some. Even when I went to college, my head master was shocked when she read my transcript but was very pleased.She asked me what I wanted in life, what I wanted to accomplish? I told her I want it all, I want to accomplish everything in lif

About a few weeks of my store being open, I've been having people left and right coming in and asking for my coffee. Some would just come in and use the wifi or watch the news when it was on to pass the time. But I didn't care, what they were doing as long as they were coming in.My first few nights, it was okay, it was slow but only because I just opened. I wasn't expecting it to be busy. My family came and saw the shop and said that they told all their friends about this place and they've even put it on their Facebook. Which was a great idea. So I done the same thing. I went to make a page and a group of my business and even paid the money to broadcast it all over. I've even put it in the papers at some of the newspaper companies and after about my 3rd week, I was bringing in business. It was all unbelievable how fast this was coming along.By my 2nd month, I hired two people. One to help cook the foods that I had put on the menus which was small easy stuff for n

I didn't have a lot of money to my name and with the shop, it took a lot of the money I had saved up. Something bad would happen, something would break and need to be fix. It would just put me in more dept that I didn't need.And with all the tips that the store made in the day, I had made a goal for us to have at least $50 but some days we wouldn't even make it there. But what tips we got, me and the crew both agree to save them for the shop to get what we need fixed until then its not our money.As promised, I did come into work looking cute just for a certain person. But I feel like I'm trying too hard. I don't even know his name, he could have a family, or even be gay all I know. There goes Kyle's shot to him. Which made me laugh just thinking about that. Someone I liked turn out being gay and he takes him from me.But I spoke too soon, he came in one evening where there was a few people drinking their drink and eating whatever they ordered as they watched the n

A year into this shop, I've got it where I want it all. I've hired a few more people to help keep the shop running with me, Kyle and Kylie, so one of us can take more than one day off, which was very greatful. I've also changed the hours since there's more people as well and since I've done that, I've got like 50% more people than I was before.Thanks to Mark, he's helped me fix everything that needed to be fixing in this small ass shop. After I got everything where I wanted, Mark had asked if I was willing to expand my store to either make it bigger or get another store. I did think about it and I did want to get another store but not right now. I want to get more into this more before I could find the money and courage of making that big leap. I mean I had faith in myself just if I moved to another area, how am I gonna keep boh of these places running on my own.
