“Sorry, sorry!” I push my way past the customers already lining up in front
of the counter to get their coffee. “I missed the bus! I’ll be with you in a
minute, Jazz!”
I don’t wait for my colleague’s response, rushing into the back room and
throwing open my locker. I stuff everything inside, running my fingers
through my long, red curls before tying them up in a tight bun. I’m already
aware of the prominent bags under my forest green eyes. No amount of ice
or cold spoons has been able to get rid of them.
Fortunately, I was smart enough to put on my uniform before leaving home.
Vampires can move fast, but while I’m of that species, aside from the blood
I have to drink regularly to survive, I don’t have any of their special
attributes. Which is why running all the way from my apartment to the
small coffee shop on Northeast 4th Avenue has me out of breath. I wheeze a
bit before hurrying back out front.
Jazz, with her pink hair and bold, silver eyeshadow, has the customers
eyeing her in blatant interest.
“Three lattes and two espressos, Charlotte,” Jazz says, her voice throaty. I
notice the red marks around her neck and press my lips together, trying to
rein in my curiosity about what she and her boyfriend, Marcus, were up to
last night. Jazz and Marcus have a similar style of dressing: outrageously
bold hairstyles, dark leather clothes, and more often than not, spiked
chokers around their necks.
The only reason Jazz works here is because her father recently bought this
cafe. That’s not to say that Jazz isn’t a hard worker or a nice person. She
looks intimidating, but she’s a sweetheart.
“Gotcha.” I tie the apron around my waist before calling out, “Sorry, folks.
My bad. I’ll have your coffees with you in a jiffy!”
“Did you work late last night?” Jazz asks, handing me another slip and
bagging a muffin.
I yawn as I froth some milk in a jug. “Yeah. I was making the dough so
Gina could get a head start on the croissants. Got home around two.”
“Did you log your hours?”
“Yup,” I grin. “Need the overtime.”
“You also need sleep.” Jazz gives me a sharp look as I hand her two of the
lattes. “You look like death warmed over.”
“You have such a way with words, Jazz.” I roll my eyes at her. “New
customer. Look out.”
She gets back to taking orders and filling up the cash register while I keep
preparing the early morning caffeine drinks that nearly the entire street
drops by to purchase. Having a coffee shop located in such a busy business
district of Portland has its advantages.
I always wondered why the previous
owner sold off this place. But Jazz’s father, with his magic business touch,
has brought new life to it. A wooden ambience that provides a romantic
setting in the evenings and a comfortable workplace for freelancers in the
mornings has brought a lot of customers here. Which means the tips are
hefty.
