Lillia's pov

Today I woke up, blissfully and happy sunshine as always. I sat up from my bed and stretched my body as a yawn escaped my lips, another day has gone passed and I needed to to go work. A baker, a young baker working in New York City and mixing up my time to graduate and study college. Some people asked me how could an eighteen-year-old female like me study and has a job, and I just replied. Hope, prayer, and patience

Everyone calls me a baby, but am I? I stutter words when I'm nervous, I always have anxiety when having flashbacks, and I don't eat every day. Fruit for breakfast and coffee for lunch, that's all. Traumatized by my past and never had a real family of my own. Weak, fragile, and naive, that was me. Lillia. The short girl with a pair of angelic eyes

I petted my kitten Willow as she meowed at me cutely which made me always say aww, I give her a treat and kisses her forehead before going to my shower and stripping off my clothes. I put on my simple white dress for today and my lolita shoe and brushed my long wave curly hair, it was natural and brown. I liked it, I don't wear makeup because I always hear that it ruins faces, I only apply skincare to have my glowing natural face. Always pretty as everyone says, I grabbed my bag and out inside my stuff ready to head to my workplace

I couldn't drive on my own, I was scared of driving. So I take a bus every time. To keep me occupied from those uncomfortable stares I put on my headphones and listen to my playlist, I always forget my phone in the house but I don't need it every time as other people do. I always wear my headed glasses, I was born with a poor eyesight condition and glasses were the only thing to help me have clear vision. I went out on the bus and walked in the streets, I never got myself adjusted to crowds but I try . I was just not used to this

I walked in the road with my eyes down, spacing out. when suddenly a loud horn came through causing me to shrink and pull off my headphones from my eye "I-I'm sorry... I'm so—sorry! " I said as tears pooled in my eyes, I bite my plump lips very hard enough for them to bleed as I held back on my tears and turned to the other street. I saw a man, wearing a black leather jacket and black pants with his helmet on watching me, before driving away with his motorcycle.

Bad Lillia!

I scolded myself as is wanted to cry over embarrassment but I hold myself, I don't want people to watch me cry. When I got to the cafe I head to the back and headed to my locker where I put on my apron and put my bag inside the locker, I took a deep breath before walking to the counter and started my day with my other worker. I served and talked to people always, it was lucky no bad people or rude people I have encountered yet

" Hello! W-what can I get for you? " I asked with my sweet voice to the old and kind lady, I always had a hard time practicing myself not being nervous to the customers. I am just a newbie working here, I needed a job to keep myself fed all by myself and Willow too!

" Hi dear, can I get blueberry muffins and a pair of hot chocolate coffee, please? " The old lady asked.

Ooh! Nice choice

" O-of course! That would be 5.45 dollars" I said and she smiled as she grabbed her wallet with her slow hands and give me the money, I give her back the change and she didn't leave. She looked up at me and smiled "A girl like you deserves happiness " she said making me feel happy.

Awwe that is nice of her

" New York City isn't for you," she said and chuckled, I kept my smile even though I was curious about what she said. Isn't for me? Hmmm, I wonder what she meant by that, I know new york city people have two sides. One is all these rich and luxurious people living their best life while the other side is homeless people that do drugs and kill. " I'll take a seat there and have a great time at work dear " the old lady said and started walking with her cane " bye bye! " I waved with a smile

I grabbed the tray with my shaking and trembling hands, keeping it balanced and biting my lip as I focused on not dropping it and walked outside of the room. Don't drop it Lillia, d-don't drop it

I kept saying that to my head when I served it to the customer's table I smiled and left them to have their time. After a few hours I was starting to get tired, I checked the time and it was already around 4 pm. Almost the end of my shift altho I haven't eaten anything yet, I was at the counter and the other workers go home early, I was cleaning the counter when and then heard the front door ring. I ignored it for a moment thinking it was just a normal and casual customer entering our small bakery shop

" H-hi, how could I h-help you—? " But I finished my sentence with a sharp breath when a tall Italian man, wearing a black suit and an expensive gold watch on his tattooed wrist. He take off his sunglasses revealing his dark and dangerous eyes and stared at mine, I felt my heart stop beating for a second.

Woah. He's so h-handsome

I felt my cheeks flush, hoping I didn't say that loudly as the man cleared his throat and didn't leave his eyes off me. I looked down embarrassed " could I get a macchiato " my eyes widen secretly when hearing his dark yet smooth voice for the first time. I wonder who is he and what is his name, I never sent him or a guy like him to enter our cafe before. But surely he is a rich man by his looks

" O-oh okay! That would be $3.45 s-sir. Any additional? " I stutter and kept my eyes on the cashier's screen " no, take out," he said simply before handing me his black credit card. I've never seen that before but I've heard people saying about it, I took it simply and swing it to the cashier, and smiled at him " alright o-one macchiato for you, coming right up! " I said and give him back his black credit card

He raised his hand to take it but instead his skin touches mine. He stared at me before taking the card from my hand, I could still feel the connection in my skin. Weird Lillia

I turned my back and made his coffee on our counter, I pressed the machine and watches as the coffee poured into the glass shot. I prepared his coffee with my sweet work and turned back, but this time our eyes met again I smiled widely at him " here y-you go, sir! i-I hope you'll like it and see you soon! " I said and he take the coffee. " What's your name doll? " He suddenly asked making my cheeks flush again. Covering it with crimson red blush enough for him to see

" L-Lillia "

" What a cute name," the man said and took a sip of his coffee before walking out.

That's it? No, even a goodbye? But at least he said my name was cute!

I can't help but smile, that made my day even better.
