Jack's Coffee Bar

838 Words
Natasha stood motionless as she watched the car sped out into the ongoing traffic. When it was out of sight, she looked down at the card in her hands. It said:" V World Corporation. Tyler Gibbons Vice President." There was also a phone number on it. Natasha's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. She read the card again to make sure that she was seeing correctly. V World Corporation was the largest in the world. They had their hands in everything from tech-toys to housewares and food. Even medical supplies and cleaning agents. No wonder he looked familiar." Tasha thought and shook her head in disbelief as she slowly walked to her car. " This guy is a multi- billionaire, why would he want a job as a model? Why would he even want a job at all?" Natasha thought to herself as she drove home. 8 o clock came fast and Natasha found herself pushing open the door of Jack's Coffee Bar on the dot. " It's only coffee." she thought to herself trying to rationalize why she came. She wore a small black dress with strapped heels adding a few more inches to her five feet. "Right on time." She heard someone say from behind her and she turned around to see Tyler wearing a grey suit with white shirt and a red tie that he had loosened around his neck. "Rough day at the office?" she asked looking at his slightly unruly hair. "You could say that. Let's sit down." he replied ushering her to a table at the far end of the cafe. He pulled out a chair indicating for her to sit then he sat opposite her. When they were settled, the waiter came to take their order. Coffee was Natasha's favorite beverage but there were so many different types on the menu that it confused her so Tyler ordered for the both of them. After ordering the two coffees and some finger food Ty leaned back on his chair and looked at Tasha. "Do you come here often?" she asked. "When I can. I like the atmosphere and people don't know me here so they just treat me normal. I like normal." "Normal is good and speaking of normal, why do you want a job?" Tasha ask. Ty's gaze came to rest upon her again but this time he almost has a frown on his face. Tasha swallowed and licked her now dry lips. She continued trying to explain herself. "I mean, why do you want to work with our company?" She also wanted to say that multi- billionaire kids don't work but instead she said "You can easily buy it." Ty folded his hands across his chest and gave out a small laugh. Tasha watched his lips curled up. "I know but I don't want to. At least not yet." Ty said. "So you have thought about it?" Tasha asked surprised by his answer. The waiter came with their order and Tasha watch as he placed everything neatly on the table. After he left, Ty resumed the conversation. "I don't want to lie by saying that I haven't thought of buying Unique but I must tell you that my dad is not too thrilled about the modelling industry, so I don't want to rile him up by purchasing a company that he does not approve of or is not satisfied with." "So then, how will he take the news about you becoming a model?" Tasha asked. "I don't know yet but I do know that I have a lot of convincing to do." He responded. They smiled at each other and Ty change the subject by saying to her "Taste your coffee." Natasha moved the cup to her lips and took a sip of the warm beverage. As she swallowed she got lost in the taste. "Mmm, wow! This is the best coffee I've ever tasted." she said. "There are a lot more delicious ones on the menu." he said. "Really?" she asked "Yes. Would you like to try them all?" Ty questioned. "Not now. Another time." Tasha quickly responded. "Does that mean we'll be having coffee another time?" Ty asked smiling at her mischievously. Natasha blushed and looked down at her now sweating palms. Before she could respond Tyler said"I would love to have coffee with you again." Tasha smiled. The time passed quickly as they ordered another round of coffee and ate the finger foods while chatting and laughing about silly things. They stayed until closing time and as they walked to the door Tyler said ."I'll see that you get back." "No need. I drove here." Tasha replied. "So did I. But I want to make sure that you get back home safely. We'll take my car and have my driver take yours." Tyler stated, not taking no for an answer. Natasha simply replied "Okay." As she didn't want to seem rude. " Then it's settled." he replied taking her arm and guiding her to his car.
