Semua Bab The One That Got Away: Bab 1 - Bab 10

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

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

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. Yes I could hire more people but money is the answer.Mark was willing to help me with everything but

After the awesomesauce date, it was back to business once again. It was back to the real world now. Even though Mark would come into the store to see me and get his order, I felt like we've headed to this direction that we both like each other but I'm scared to see where that gonna take me.When we first met, he would come in a day or two a week, then twice a day a few days that week to coming almost everyday just to see me. At first I thought he was a stalker or just a man who likes my coffee and cakes but it was just more than that. After our 1st date, he had came to my job to bring me flowers every day, which brought a smile to my face and some of my customers would just smile and be all awe, how cute. Yes it was cute and it made my home and my store smelling good on top of my food and coffee. But that didn't end there. Even though I don't live far from work, its just a 5-10 minute walk, he would have a driver waiting for me to take me home. The first time I tr

After coming home from our little trip, it was back to business for everyone. He was doing what he done best with his company and well; staying away from me. I was worried a little but I knew how it was when you're busy.The guys kept me company, when they could along me working my butt off. When I wasn't working I was at home keeping to myself until one day he had came over and told me why he was away for so long.While we were away on our trip, something had happened durning that time and he had been staying at the office to make sure everything was getting back to normal. But he said all I needed to worry about was him, when he was coming back to me. Other words, just do me. Which I had done.When I wasn't at my shop, on my days off, I would visit him at his office with lunch or dinner if it was late. And which it was some nights.Every time I bought it up, he would ask me to come after work hours so no one would say a thing about it. Because there was some n
