Love Cafe

The story of first love discovered in the most unlikely of places

By SandraPublished 3 years ago 2 min read

It was a beautiful sunny Saturday when Kate first stepped into the cosy café. The smell of fragrant coffee and waves of soft music seemed like a miracle to her. She looked around with her eyes and saw the bustle and smiling faces mingling with the scented coffee cups. In the distance, she noticed an interesting young man who looked like he belonged there more than anyone else.

Tom, the young barista of this hidden oasis, didn't know a person who would choose a table far from the window. Kate did so, and therefore immediately got his attention. And that included her appearance. Her long red hair and sparkling eyes lit up the café. He gave her a smile and Kate couldn't miss his optimism. They both didn't even realize they had just entered each other's lives.

Time passed and Kate began to make regular appearances at the café. She pretended to be engrossed in her book, but she couldn't take her eyes off Tom, who moved around the café like the world's best dancer. At first, it was limited to their brief conversations about the weather or her favorite coffee. Gradually, however, they began to share most of their lives.

One rainy morning, Kate noticed that the café remained empty. She was disappointed because she had wanted to spend a pleasant but brief time with Tom. But at that moment, he walked in. He took off his raincoat and his eyes met hers. He ran his gaze all over her face and finally smiled. Kate had a strange feeling in her heart - like he wasn't the boy she'd known for a few weeks, but like she'd known him all her life.

"I've been waiting for you," Tom said quietly.

Kate paused. "How do you know?" She asked him, uncertainty in her voice.

Tom looked at her and opened the door to the back of the café. "Come with me," he said, leading her through a hallway she didn't know. He opened the door and entered a cozy room filled with books and musical instruments. It was his intimate part of the café, he confided in her where he found his inspiration and where he went every day with his thoughts.

"I know I've found my soulmate," Tom said, hugging her tightly. "I felt it from the moment you walked into that coffee shop. And now I know it was YOU I was waiting for."

Kate's heart exulted and she was filled with incredible joy. She never thought she would find such love in such an ordinary place. Their friendship and love became the foundation for a tender and endless relationship. Here, in this café, which became the means of their meeting, speech and silence, their hearts connected and united.

Tom and Kate spent many years together, overcoming ups and downs, and though their hair color may have changed, their love remained unchanged. The café became a witness to their extraordinary story and a place that still fulfilled their love.

And so, every day, the café saw the love in their eyes. Kate discovered a miracle in this café, and Tom was waiting for her, even though she was unaware of it. For them, this café was more than just a place to enjoy coffee - it was their café of love.
