Novel & Cerita Christmas Cafe

I went out and took a taxi to the the cafe shop I'm currently working on, I don't want to be fired, the cafe is an elite 24 hour cafe, I don't know how I was accepted there, considering my timid nature, the cafe was only for rich people of certain calibar not just rich people, coffees made there are so expensive that I don't even understand why someone would spend such amount of money just on a coffee but that was not my problem now, I just wanted to continue working there, besides the pay was good, I could do better with some cash now. Being really honest, I really don't know how I feel about Mom really leaving the house, she was never there anyway, just coming back in few occasions and wit

She bounced out of my room, leaving me alone with my messy hair and complete lack of holiday cheer at this ungodly hour. I dragged myself out of bed and threw on the matching pajamas Sophie had given everyone last night. Red and green plaid. Ridiculous but comfortable. Downstairs, chaos. Sophie was organizing presents into piles. Catherine made coffee in the kitchen, looking far too put together for seven in the morning. Jason sat on the couch already on his phone. Melissa complained about the early hour. And Derek stood by the Christmas tree, his hair sticking up in the back, wearing his matching pajamas. He looked tired. Adorable. Completely unfair.

CHAPTER 12: Breakfast and Betrayals BRONWYN The cafe was busy for the day after Christmas. Families crowded around tables. The smell of coffee and pancakes filled the air. I spotted Huxley at a corner booth near the window. He stood when I approached. "Bronwyn. Thanks for coming." "I said I'd hear you out." We sat and ordered coffee. The waitress left menus but neither of us looked at them. "You look good," Huxley said. "Different somehow."

A small smile tugged the corner of my lips all as I placed my hands on my thighs, heaving out a deep sigh after seeing the warm and cosy cafe. It was a brown and cream-themed cafe that looked very homey and not too flashy. The signboard was starting to fade off but I could still remember because Aria loved frequenting the place. ‘Ugh, not again. No Aria for now. We need to focus on taking down Gabriella.’

Krystalina ~ My eyes welled up with fresh tears as I pulled out the plugs, shutting down the coffee machine, I bought with my hard-earned money. This cafe is my life. My baby, and I am closing it down forever. I was twenty when I decided I don't want to work under someone, I want to make something of my own. I wanted to do something that would bring happiness into people's lives, even if it was just for an hour. Last year on Christmas I opened my cafe on loan, and this year before even Christmas came, I am shutting it down because it went into huge loss.

Taking a deep sigh, I return to the changing room to change my cloth and go back to my home. I reached the café at 3 AM. The café lights were on like always we do on Christmas, the café was decorated with light and a Christmas tree. There were few families still having coffee and pastries to enjoy Christmas. “Merry Christmas…” Serena came to hug me. “Merry Christmas Serena” I wished back. “You look tired,” She said with concerned eyes. “Yeah, little, I want to sleep. Where is little angel” I asked. “Sleeping in bed, You go and join her, I will be with Theo today” She smiled shyly.

“Only if you promise not to decorate it with cherry blossoms all over the place, Brian.” Steven rubbed his chin playfully. “How about ‘Brew Ha-Ha Café’? Because, honestly, we’re going to need a lot of laughs in this business.” Brian chuckled, “Or maybe ‘Cup O’ Magic’—because Mom’s cupcakes are basically wizardry.” Charlotte rolled her eyes but smiled. “Okay, Mr. Wizard, what about ‘The Daily Grind & Giggle’? Perfect for coffee and family drama.” The room filled with laughter and light teasing as everyone pitched in with funny café name ideas, turning an otherwise tense evening into a moment of family warmth and silly fun.

“This is going to be the first and last" ‘Tonight" he replied. “The café on 7th" I stared at the screen long after the chat ended. I knew this was a bad idea, but curiosity mixed with unresolved feelings was a dangerous feeling. *** The café was busy enough to make me feel safe. Warm lights, low music, and whispered conversations. I chose a table near the window and sat with my back straight. Caleb arrived ten minutes later. He looked… softer. Familiar. “Aria,” he said quietly, pulling out the chair across from me. “Thank you for coming.”

He was focused, more so than usual, and it made me wonder what was on his mind. We arrived at the café, a quaint little place tucked away on the outskirts of town. The sign above the door read "Rafael’s Café," and there was a certain charm about it, as if it held years of stories within its walls. As we stepped inside, the scent of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods filled the air, mingling with the quiet chatter of a few patrons.

Cherish lets out a small smile. "Of course! Welcome to Cafe Heaven, please come inside." the man quickly lets her in. Cherish is shivering in cold eventhough she's wearing many layers of clothings, aside from the winter coat. She looks around while Kei's brother is preparing her coffee. This Coffee Shop has a homey and warm atmosphere, and it makes her feel good and relaxed. All of the furnitures are made of wood, and looks more of a cozy house than a business establishment. She can see numerous posters of MORSE hanging on the wooden walls, and their songs are being played on the background.
