Trapezoid Coffee Table Novels & Stories

The furniture, the appliances, even the smallest decorative items - it's all there, arranged in a way that's both comfortable and stylish. The centerpiece of the room is a large, plush sectional sofa in a soft, creamy color. It looks incredibly inviting, making me want to curl up on it and take a nap. Complementing the sofa are two oversized armchairs in a rich, deep blue that adds a pop of color to the space. A rustic wooden coffee table sits in the center, its natural grain adding warmth to the room.

We scheduled to meet at 1:30 PM tomorrow, which will be perfect because Calvin will be in school then. I get off the phone and return to Drea who seems to be very interested in a large maple wood table with a brown tamarind finish. It’s probably one of the most beautiful tables I’ve ever seen. It’s got enough of a traditional look to be timeless, but then some flare that makes it look like it belongs to someone who has traveled the world. The details on the legs of the table and chairs all match with an ornate spindle design. The armchairs also have the same spindle design on the arm rests as well. Very lavish. The chairs are also upholstered in a gorgeous dark leather.

DREW The aroma of roasted coffee beans hangs heavy in the air, a comforting blanket that does little to soothe the tension radiating from across the small, round table. I bring the ceramic mug to my lips, the dark liquid warming my throat as I sip slowly. I notice Trina’s unease but I try not to pay attention to it and focus on my coffee. Her fingers tap an annoying rhythm on the polished wood, a restless drumbeat that echoes the frustration etched on her face. Her eyes, usually sharp and calculating, are clouded with a mix of anger and something similar to sadness. She stares out the window, back at me, then down at her fingers, her jaw clenched. Finally, a low, frustrated groan escapes her

I almost run into his back from my rubbernecking when he stops at a semi-circular desk area with a large coffee machine set to a side. "Two coffees, one black and one with sugar," Trey shouts in the direction of the guy behind the machine before he turns us around again. The quick movements start to give me whiplash. I couldn't be happier to see the three orange-ish couches in a circle centered around a large coffee table in the middle. On the couch to our right, the guy I met as Finn on Thursday sits with his arm around a skinny woman with dark brown curly hair. Both their mouths are slightly open and she looks back at Finn with an unasked question in her eyes. Shock?

He asks as he turns back. “It’s okay.” I shrug. I’m not about to tell him I am totally in awe of his property no fucking way. As we continue, I see another lounge type area. This one has two red chairs with no arm rests facing a red sofa, not that garish red but a classy kind of heritage red. Between them is a rectangular, smoked glass coffee table with large books on it. I will have to check those out later.

“Forty chairs, at eight per round table, that’s five tables, plus a rectangular style for the wedding party, which adds two rectangular tables.” The woman working the rental desk leans over the counter, pad in hand, racking up the order and charges. “What about a cake table? You’ll need a smaller round for that. Will you want a drink bar?” I pull the bible from my back pocket and flip through the pages, thankful I find a seating chart, which I’ve expanded, along with additional needed tables. “She had us use a coffee table for the gifts, so we’ll need a gift table. Definitely some kind of bar. Shit.”

By the left and right is a three-seater on each side. Then in the middle of the U-shape is a cockroach brown coffee table with the top made of glass. Under it is a crystal blue pompom carpet with little strands of wools made of cockroach brown wool. The tiles are also plane crystal blue bare of any design. Three large cockroach brown curtains with large crystal blue daises imprinted on them cover an oak door leading to the smaller parlor while the other two cover two large glass windows.

It was entirely designed in shades of brown; the Caffe latte style, as I was to discover later. Shades of walnut and bronze blended with each other in such an aesthetic way that I looked about me, wide-eyed. The modern pieces of furniture were also so perfectly aligned with mid-century woodwork, I wanted to stand and gape. The elegant, marble and wood dining table, oval in shape, could easily seat 12 people, I thought, my heart hammering. But St Just was already at the table, drawing out a chair for me and I hurried across. As I sat, my shoulder brushed against his chest and I felt a frisson of …something undefinable. I looked up and saw the way his firm mouth tightened.

I moved to the coffee kettle so I could do our coffee, I took our pancakes to the table as I set the table, then I turned back to get our coffee, only to come face to face with Odessa who was looking at me weirdly, before she asked, "What am I doing here?"

These were all added to the device in the salesman’s hand. Moving onto living room furniture we selected a microfiber couch, loveseat and recliner set in a forest green color for Jake and Faith, as well as a dark brown coffee table made of maple. Then we selected a nice oak dining room table that would seat four to eight people depending on the number of leaves used. For Mat and Cedric we found a breakfast nook style table and chairs that would comfortably fit the two of them for those days they wanted to have a quieter meal alone.
