COFFEE CAFÉ

Risa : What?

Aya : I bought this café (winks)

Risa : (confused)

Aya : I am not joking.

Risa : How did this--

Aya : I was talking to the previous owner since last week. So here I am.

Risa : And you didn’t even tell me?Seriously you bought this!?

Aya : It was a good deal.The owner is moving out of Japan and I called him at the right time.Well,I’ve told you Ive always wanted to run a café.

Risa : But ..but this is too sudden.

Aya : Nothing is ever too sudden Risa (winks)

Risa : I had to many surprises for now (rubbing her head)

Aya : More to come?(lifting her eyebrows)

Risa : Your mother knows?

Aya : She’s the one suggested .She’ll be coming here later.

Risa : The fact that your mother learnt about coffee and pastries ..it makes sense now.

Aya : And now now now.Look at the bright side.Im sure your boyfriend would allow you to hang here?

Risa : Who cares.Anyhow,what about the workers?

Aya : He left all of them to me.Which is like 6 of them. 3 of them are well trained baristas so I don’t have to worry. 2 of them loves baking.Another one can handle all the arrangement. No w,I need to settle the agreements and everything.

Risa: Its so sudden I need more time to digest.

Aya : I met them earlier.Well,I can still remember their names.The 3 baristas over there,the one with piercings is Shinji,the one with the green bandana is Sho and the last one is Aoi. Trust me,all of them are 24.I feel so young but don’t tell them Im 23. And,the cashier,as you can see is Myuu. The other two whom the ones doing the bakings and everything is Megumi and Yuuki.

Risa : Sounds like a good manager to me.You remembers all their names already.

Aya : I need to be extra friendly to them.First times are always so nerve wrecking.

Risa : Anyway,no free drinks for me?Im thirsty.

Aya : I know you would ask that.

Kaname : Call?

Mia : Don’t tell me you don’t even have her phone number..

Kaname : Ask from Karin.

Mia quickly takes out her phone and called Karin.

Mia : Karin?

Karin : yes yes yes?

Mia : Can you send Risa’s number to Kaname?
