Charlotte's POV
Rinnnnnnnnnggggggggggg
I groaned and turned off the blaring sound of my alarm. I'm not a morning person but I have to get to work early so as not to get fired by my boss. I work at a small cafe and the small money I earn is to take care of myself and my sister since our parents have passed away.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Charlotte Evans. I'm 21 years old.I have a younger sister, Annabelle, she's five years old,we live in one- room apartment. Our parents have passed away so I have to struggle to take of the two of us. I'm a 5'6 with long black hair that reached my waist.
I got up, picked my outfit off the day which is white top and black skirt and went to the bathroom to do my daily routine. I came out of the bathroom fully dressed. I paired my outfit with black flats then I went to wake my sister which is a very hard job on its own but I know the trick.
"Hey Bella, wake up"
But as usual, she only rolled to the other side of the bed.
"Bella, if you don't get up now, I won't buy you ice-cream."
That did it 'cause the next thing I know, she was racing to the bathroom.
"You must buy the ice-cream for me today."
I love my sister very much. She's the reason I'm living. Her happiness matters to me, I would do anything to bring a smile on her face.
I went to make breakfast which is pancakes and coffee.
"I'm done" I heard my sister saying.
"Ok, come eat breakfast so we can go."
We ate our breakfast in hurry so we that we could catch up with the bus. We got to the bus stop and saw the bus about to move, we quickly got inside the bus.
I took my sister to her school which is a public school that I could afford.
"Hey, be a good girl okay?"
"Yes Char, I promise. Bye, I love you."
"Love you too."
We separated and I made my way towards the cafe I worked. When I got there, I was three minutes late. Shit.
I tried to sneak past my boss but luck was not on my side today. Oh God please...
"Miss Evans, you are late." my boss said from behind me. I had to keep myself from shrieking.
"Good morning, Mr. Thompson. Yes I was late but it was just three minutes." I said with a soft voice.
"I already told you I don't tolerate tardiness, time is money, miss Evans."
"Yes sir, I remember clearly, it won't repeat itself, I promise." I said.
"This is your last chance miss Evans, the next time it happens, I won't hesitate to fire you, understood?"
"Understood sir" I replied.
I went to the the dressing room to change my clothes to the waitress' uniform. There I met my friend, Clara.
"Hey Clara" I greeted her.
"Hey Char, are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, why'd you ask?" I said to her.
"You were late and I saw you with Mr. Thompson, hope he didn't give you a hard time." She said
"No, just a little warning" I said.
"Okay"
"Yeah"
We started working and continued working when all of a sudden, the cafe went silent. I looked up to check what was going on when I saw a man dressed in a navy blue suit which was showing of his hard built muscles, he looked so hot and sexy. Then my eyes roam to his face and I saw the most beautiful green eyes even though his face was cold and hard as if he was made out of rock. This man is hot and handsome. Whoever this man is, he has to be rich and famous.
"Holy shit" I heard Clara say from beside me.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
"That's James Greenwood." She replied.
"James who?". I don't think I've heard that name before.
"Girl, don't tell me you don't know that guy." She asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" I replied her back.
"Girl, you need to live." She said.
I went to attend to the man who got everyone's attention the moment he entered the cafe.
"Good day Sir, what can I get for you?"
"Get me a coffee, black and no sugar added" he said
Oh God... his voice sounds deep and cold. Who is this guy.
I looked up to see him staring at me. His green eyes were the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, they were so captivating.
"Right away, Sir."
I rushed to get his coffee as he wanted.
"Your order, Sir." I placed his coffee on the table and went away.
I continued my work but the way the man stared at me looks kinda creepy but I tried not to focus on that.
I left work few hours later and went to pick my little sister.
"Hey Bella"
"Charrrrrrrrrrrrr" she ran into my arms.
"How are you?" I asked her.
"I'm fine." She replied.
"How was school today."
"School was fine."
"Alright, let's go home." I held out my hand to her.
"But you said you will buy me ice-cream." Oh God, I already forgot.
"Ok, let's get you ice-cream." I said to her
We went to a nearby ice cream shop and I bought strawberry ice cream for her and went home.
We ate dinner and I helped Bella with her homework. After we were done, we took our bath and lied down on the small bed we shared together.
"Goodnight Bella"
"Goodnight Char"
Bella was asleep in no time when couldn't because of a certain green-eyed that kept coming to my mind. I need to clear my memory of what happened today.
