Ch-1 Faith's Birthday

Inside Embrace Coffee Cafe,

( Chicago ) 

8:30p.m. 

" Faith , it's snowing outside. I don't think anyone is going to come now , let's go,". said a girl with long hair tied in a ponytail , black sweater paired with black jeans and shoes.

The girl name Faith was sitting lazily at a cash counter with her back facing the counter , her one leg was hanging from the chair and the other leg was on the chair, her long blond hairs were tied in a messy bun with some hair strands hanging on her small fair face. 

Faith turned her chair lazily when she heard her best friend's voice and said," It's not the time Olive, one hour is still left and you know I don't close the cafe before the time,". 

Oliver said with narrowed eyes," Ahh! Faith, look outside it's freaking cold , who do you think will come only for a coffee? , and it's your birthday babe, let's go to my house and chill for one day,". 

Faith smiled while revealing her cute dimples and said," No thanks, but I will not go anywhere, and you know I  don't celebrate my birthday, you can go, look at your car is already outside ,".

Oliver pouted and said in a complaining tone," Fine, but I know that you feel bad about staying at my house , ahh ! idiot I'm your best friend,".

Faith pursed her lips when she her words because it was true , she really didn't like to stay in Oliver's villa , not because of Oliver family in fact her family loved Faith with their whole heart, it's just that Oliver was way richer than Faith was, and from their childhood Faith used to get bullied in school just because she was an orphan and doesn't have much money, so everyone used to think Faith is using Oliver for her money. 

Faith faked a smile and said,'' Olive, you think too much, and just go and thanks for these glasses I love it," she said while pointing at her new rose gold retro round eyeglass which was her birthday gift given by Oliver.

Olive smiled helplessly at her friend's words and said while walking towards the door ," Ok fine, but go back on time, bye Faith".

" Wait," but before Oliver could leave Faith stopped her and stood up from the chair and walked towards Oliver while holding a cap and gloves in her hand. 

Oliver looked at her in confusion and said," Huh? , what..," but before she could say anything Faith suddenly covered her head with a white cap and then her hand with fluffy white gloves. 

Faith looked at Olive's dumbfounded expression and chuckled while saying," Olive , it's cold outside just keep this with you , but I want my stuff back tomorrow, it's my birthday gift from kids,".

Oliver pouted at her words and said," Huh ! seriously Faith , I will not steal your gift but I don't need this keep it, I will go in my car and you need this more than I do,".

Faith said," Ugh girl , just go I have another pair, so don't worry,". Faith lied to Oliver because she knew Oliver never took these until Faith had another pair.

Oliver said with a narrowed eyes," You do ?," and Faith nodded immediately so she nodded and hugged her tightly and said," Ok , and Happy happy birthday darling, I love you," after she kissed her cheeks.

Faith chuckled and said," Ahh! leave me Olive, and thank you, I love you 2,".

Oliver left Faith and turned around to leave," Ok bye, go back on time,".

Faith said," Ok mama bear bye ," after that she saw Oliver walking towards her car and leaving in the cold winter's of december.

Faith also walked towards her seat and sat there with her back facing the counter, she put on her headphones and played some song while doing something in her notebook.

Faith knew Olive was right that no one was gonna come to the cafe at this time because of snowfall and how cold  it was outside. But still Faith was here , it's not because she was waiting for a customer it's just that she loves to spend her time inside this cute and comfy cafe , this cafe was opened by her and member of her orphanage to earn some extra money , she used work here after her collage as a part-time and full time whenever their is any holiday. 

Faith has designed this small cafe with the help of internet and the kids of orphanage with a very small budget and yet she was able to give it a homey feeling, and Oliver has helped her to add different books in this cafe , so that customer can read while they are here, but Faith didn't want to take Oliver's help for free and Oliver knew that so she decided to work inside the cafe with Faith and take small amount of salary for Faith satisfaction.

After 15 min,

A black Rolls Royce stopped outside the cafe from which three long , well-built men in a business suit came out. 

A man in a royal blue suit , dark black hair and handsome face looked at the other two guys with frowned brows and said," Are you sure ? you wanna have coffee so badly that you can even have it at this small cafe ?, Ahh ! bro you can just have it at home, and why the hell we are here rather than enjoying Hope's birthday, and  bro Ryan like seriously ? she is your sister and you are here with us rather than attending your sister's birthday , you know she will  kill the shit out of you if she came to know that you are not there,".

The two guys stare at this non stop chatter box and then at each other , then a guy name Ryan , who was in black suit , blonde hair with a handsome face with long nose, light green eyes, fair skin and slim lips said," Shut up Kevin , Hope will not notice in that huge party and I have already told Harper to handle her , and you I and Aiden don't like these types of parties, and what's wrong with cafe ?,".

Kevin again said," It's so small,  for god sake , we can just go to a bar,".

This time a cold voice replied," You can go back if you want to Kevin," after saying that he walked towards the cafe.

Kevin stared at older brother and said," Ugh! Fine , I'm coming , Aiden, did you tell big bro ?,". But no response so he looked at  Ryan for an answer.

Ryan nodded and said," I have informed Kaiden , now let's go,".

Ryan, Kevin and Aiden entered the cafe , Aiden was in his white suit , dark black hair, dark black eyes , and straight nose and thin lips , features which were similar to Kevin , but skin slightly pale that Kevin , but his aura were absolutely different from the other two guys. He was giving the presence of someone who doesn't like to get disturbed. Expression clearly saying,'  Don't come near me '. No one will believe that Kevin is his younger brother if their features were not similar.  

As soon as they entered the cafe, they saw cute decorations, and a warm atmosphere compared to the chilling wind from outside, a collection of books, and a girl sitting at the counter with a headphone in her head but she was not facing the counter rather her back was in their view. 

Kevin looked at Ryan and said," Look, no one is here, do you think this cafe is even working? and look at how that girl is sitting there without greeting her customers,".

Ryan glared at him but didn't say anything and looked at Aiden and said," Aiden, what do you think? You wanna drink here ?,".

Aiden who was looking at the bookshelf turned to look at him and said," Yes,". After saying that he walked towards the counter. 

Ryan and Kevin also followed behind him and then all of them looked at a girl who was not even aware of their arrival and was busy doing something in her diary.

Aiden frowned when he saw that she was not even turning around and was busy in her own world, he looked at Ryan and Ryan said to the girl," Excuse me," but no response. 

Kevin saw this and moved forward and tapped at the girl's shoulder roughly and said in a loud voice," Oh hello, Excuse me,".

' Ahhh,' 

*Bang Bang*.....
