Café Girl
♡ Chapter 1 ♡
Anonymous POV
It was just a normal day for me. I was just sitting in my normal spot in the Star Cafe and Alice had just brought me their specialty coffee. Nothing out of the ordinary to be honest. Then the door opened and I felt something the air change. I can't explain it, but if you were there, you'd feel it too.
I watched as tall handsome boy threw her a five and asked for a specialty drink. I could tell my Alice's face reaction that she was not amused. Why would she be? He threw the money at her like she was a local prostitute.
I watch him as he waits for his drink. He looks at Alice while she makes the drink and there is a softness in his eyes, as if he's sorry for what he did. Then just like that, it's gone and hes back to having a blank stare.
Alice and him engage in some quick conversation and he rolls his eyes before making his way to a table and sitting down.
I watch her as she makes her way to his table. She roughly places his coffee on his table which takes him by surprise. He must have said something snarky because a second later her hand was in direct contact with his face.
I will never forget that day. Because as the boy stormed out of the shop, he turned around and made quick eye contact with Alice. In that moment, you could tell there was something there.
From that day on, I saw more and more of the tall boy.He would come to the store everyday around the same time I do. He would order a coffee and watch Alice. I can't even begin to tell you how many fights they had. I never knew two people could make each other so angry, yet so happy. One day Alice wasn't in the store and he approached me.
"Have you seen Alice today sir?" he asked politely. This took me by surprise because when he first came in the store he was a rude arrogant asshole.
"Not today kiddo." I reply smiling. He smiles back and nods before leaving the store. That was my first interaction with him. I learned his name was Harry. Harry Styles. But that didn't happen until December 31st 2015 at 10:00pm.
He came into the store as if he were a ghost. He ordered a star cafe specialty drink and he sat across from me.
"Rough night?" I asked him
"Rough is an understatement." he replied sipping his coffee.
"Have you ever been in love?" he asks me out of the blue.
"Yes, yes I have." I reply slowly. I think of my dearest wife Emily and smile.
"Did it destroy you?" he asks staring me right in the eye.
"Doesn't love destroy everyone?" I respond sipping my coffee "But you see, that's the best part." I reply smiling.
"What part of being destroyed is good?" he asks confused.
"Well you see, love will tear you down. Push you beyond your limits, until you break. But once you've been completely destroyed by love, you know where to start." I explain to the young soul.
"I never asked to be destroyed though." the boy replies shaking his messy head.
"No one asks to fall in love son. We just do."

Notes
I decided to restart cafe girl for many reasons. Firstly I didn't like my writing very much. Secondly, the other author doesnt write it with me anymore, so I wanted to start fresh with new ideas that are mine and that I can really relate and vibe off of as a writer. I hope you guys understand and support it!
