The bell to the coffee shop chimed as I walked through the door. I breathed in the familiar scent of coffee beans and vanilla as I made my way over to my usual spot by the window. I made it a point to make sure I come here at least once a week and read a few chapters of my books. Its always so relaxing and therapeutic, I very much enjoy it to clear my mind most days. It was just a small coffee shop right around the block from my apartment. Most days I walked down here, others I drove. Today however was an exceptionally lovely day to take a walk.
I set my things down at the table and walk up to the counter to order a coffee. "Just one venti iced vanilla please." I say to the cashier who is kindly making sure she takes care of her guest. As I'm waiting for my coffee I let my eyes wonder around the shop, observing the people around. It sure is slow around here, I thought to myself. Usually on a Monday afternoon it is busier than this.
My coffee was handed to me and I muttered a small thank you and a smile to the lady working as I made my way back to my seat. I settled down and took my book out placing it on the table as well as my coffee and made sure all of my things were in place. I took my glasses out of their case and put them on, blinking slightly to adjust my eyes to them so I could actually read my book. Call me cliché but the romance novel in my hand was actually Pride and Prejudice. I was honestly a sucker for romances. I giggled to myself as I caught myself in my thoughts. I open my book to where my bookmark was laid and started where I had left off.
