Coffee Shop Letter

Chapter 10

My first week at Black Inc was pretty laid back and easy. Everything was easy to handle. I did receive little things like flowers and chocolates with little notes from mystery man throughout the week. It was sweet of him, but I'm still iffy on the matter. I'm ready to find out who this man is, so I'm able to put a face to the person writing me these letters and sending me gifts with notes. 

Fridays were busier than anything, everyone wanted a meeting before the weekend. I wasn't able to get all the notes typed out from the multiple meetings. Mr. Black had back to back meetings all day, so I have a lot of work to do this weekend, on top of my shifts at Deb's on Saturday and Sunday. 

Walking into the coffee shop on Saturday morning made me realize how much I miss working there. Although I was making my living situation financially better, at the same time I still missed it. I'm not sure if I would ever quit working here at the shop because it's like a second home to me.

Some of the customers were asking where I was, they didn't know I was trying to get a new job. They just assumed I was on vacation for the week.  I was enjoying my time catching up with some of the regulars that are there during the week, that I didn't notice someone placing a bear with a letter by the register.  On top of things we were getting super busy today, but the weather was nice for a fall day, everyone wanted to be outside.

At 2 o'clock when my shift ended, is when I noticed the stuffed bear holding a heart and a letter. I picked them up, heading to the back to grab my purse when a scent hit my nose. A males cologne scent and it smelled heavenly.  It wasn't like those colognes that smelled like they wore too much. The cologne scent was more masculine but soft, and I liked it.  

On my way home I couldn't stop myself from smelling the bear, it just smelt so good. It was going to become my cuddle buddy at night from now on.  Maybe this will help me find out who this man is by the scent of his cologne.

When I got home, I made myself comfortable on the couch with the bear and opened the letter.

Sunshine,

Yes sunshine, because you make bad days brighter for me when I see your smiling face. I know it probably sounds cliche but it's true. I hope you like the bear I wasn't sure if you like stuffed animals or not. I guess if you don't then you can do whatever you want to it. We aren't dating or anywhere near that, nor do you know who I am. I guess I just wanted you to have something for your bad days to remind you of me, mystery man or prince charming. You brighten my bad days up maybe I can brighten yours as well. 

Anyways, I noticed you survived your first week of work and I'm sure you figured it out that it's not hard either. Until next time.

Yours truly,

Your mystery man

p.s. I'll give you a hint of who I might be. You have personally talked to me multiple times. Also, the cologne on the bear is one of the many I own and rarely wear.

His letters always make me smile, when he's being this cheesy and sweet it's hard not to. On top of things, I've talked to him, but where? I don't have the slightest clue. There's been a lot of men I've talked to between both jobs. But none of the men I've talked to stick out, and if the cologne is rarely worn than that won't help me either. Why can't he just tell me who he is, or better yet show me? I have to remind myself to be patient because I'm still back and forth on wanting to know who he is. I'll be nice and respond to him thanking him for the bear and small gifts from the week, then leave it at that.

Mystery Man,

Thank you for everything you've given me this week. The small gifts, flowers and now the bear. It really is all too much considering I don't know who you are. One day I will repay you in person as long as you don't screw up. You're making it hard to stay mad at you. I guess that's a good thing for you, but kind of bad for me. I still want to be mad at you, I really do, but I can't, it's the type of person I am. I forgive too easily, and you can obviously tell since I'm not yelling at you. 

I've talked to you? But where? I mean I know you know me from the coffee shop but is that where we have talked? Did we talk at the office? You truly are a mystery to me. Until next time I decide to write. 

Sunshine

Folding up the letter and putting it into my purse to leave by the register tomorrow, I headed to the kitchen to make me some food. I wanted to get a start on typing the notes for work, so maybe I can relax tomorrow after my shift at Deb's. Eventually, I was going to wear myself out from exhaustion, but it'll all be worth it. 

------------------

It was a quarter til 6 when there was a knock on my door. I wasn't expecting anyone to come because Matty was busy and I didn't have anyone else as a friend. Opening up my door, there was no one there, but a small yelp caught my attention. Looking down on the ground was a small husky with the brightest blue eyes. Picking the small puppy up, I noticed it was a boy and he had a ribbon with a note attached to him. 

Thought you could use another cuddle buddy and friend. His name is Remy. He has everything he needs on your left.

xoxo Prince Charming

Okay, this guy really needs to stop, this was way too much. Looking to my left, there really was everything he needs. There was a dog bed, food, dishes for the food, and water, a box of toys and treats. I had to draw a line on the gifts. Looking at Remy, my heart melted, and I was a goner for him. 

Setting Remy down, I brought everything inside and started setting him an area up in the apartment. Once that was finished I pulled out the letter i write adding a p.s. to it

p.s please no more big gifts, it's all too much but thank you for Remy. NO MORE! I mean it.

Folding it back up and back into my purse, I gathered up Remy. While I finished typing notes for most of the night, he was curled up next to me sleeping.
