Colors


My First Glimpse of Heaven
Long golden hair, coffee-stained eyes, unforgiving rosy cheeks. She was wearing a purple floral dress walking into Marty's Cafe clumsily with her cheap plastic sunglasses sitting comfortably on top of her head. Anabelle had a few letters in her mouth but still managed to greet anyone that walks passed her. As she got ready for work, she produced a guilty dimpled smile till her vanilla white teeth were shown and nodded to a group of pensioners sitting right at the corner. One of them shouted ''If I were still young, you wouldn't continuously turn me down at all missy!''. She giggled and playfully showed them her sweet-and-sour strawberry tongue while walking towards the counter. She stretches both her arms aligned, pointing up at heaven and quickly wore a semi-dirty checkered apron. Soon, she nonchalantly closed her pair of eyes for a few milliseconds, clearly enjoying the coffee scent before pursing her lips slowly. Her love for the coffee-making business was visible to everyone.

After a few hours of hard work, she wore her inexpensive sunnies and walked out of the cafe to reward herself with a cup of coffee and an already opened yellow sunflower pack of cigarettes. She sat on the light green wooden stairs that lead to the storeroom while watching the BBQ smoke vehicles passing through Lonsbay Town. A thick mist was slowly being formed around her from the cigarette smoke that made her appearance look mysteriously elegant. She sat cross-legged with her head resting on the higher supporting leg. Then, tears started dripping, rolling down from her cheeks. She looked around to make sure no one had noticed her visible tears. She then managed to find the energy to push herself up from her sadness and walked down the stairs. Accidentally, she dropped her cigarettes and looked at them strangely. So she closed her pair of tear stained eyes, breathing in and out heavily. Suddenly thinking of her childhood memories in this town.


''Don't get lost okay, Ana?'' said a random guy. Anabelle was astonished and opened her eyes immediately. She lit up with a smile. It was Athur, a regular customer who gets his free coffee every afternoon.
She replied '' Hi Love, Coffee?''.
''That's why I am here for, honey.''
