11: coffee shop~harassment 1

ADRIANNA

TWO MONTHS LATER

It's been two months since Raymond and Jasmine sent me out of the house, and I haven't heard from them since. I finally found an apartment using the money Raymond gave me at a place called Oakwood Manor. It's a beautiful place, adorned with vibrant colors and elegant furniture, boasting stunning architectural designs. I had also found a place to work that brings in some income I can use to take care of myself.

I was currently working at a coffee shop twenty minutes away from my apartment. The past two months have been quite peaceful and exciting; I enjoy my job and the smell of brewed coffee. My apartment is peaceful and welcoming, always feeling warm when I get back home from work. Within these two months, I've been able to pick myself up and move on.

The service bell rang, jolting me out of my thoughts as i worked, serving customers. A customer had rang the bell for my attention. I had not noticed him coming in because i was too preoccupied in my thoughts. I quickly dropped the tray i was holding on the counter and walked over to him with the menu.

"Good day sir" i began with a wide smile on my face, to welcome the customer.

"How are you? And what may i get for you?" I continued, this time placing the menu on the table for the man to go through.

He looked up at me giving me a smile, before looking back down and going through the menu.

"We brew the best coffee here sir, you should try the caramel macchiato, it's very nice sir. I personal love it very much" i said to him as he continued going through the menu.

The young looked through the menu for a while and after sometime he dropped it down on the table.

"How about i try you instead?" He said to me.

Immediately, i looked at him in shock. What the h*ll did he just say to me? Maybe i heard him wrong?

"What?" I asked him, my eyes widened and waiting for an answer from him.

He looked at me. "How about i try this instead?" He said to me, as he pointed at the menu on the table.

I heaved a sigh of relief.

Definitely heard that wrong.

I gave him a quick smile, as i took the menu from the table.

"Your order would be ready in ten minutes sir" i said to him, walking away.

I slowly walked away from him, and after taking a few steps, I turned back to find the young man looking at me weirdly. He had his eyes fixed on me, with a strange smile spreading across his face.

I gulped, and turned back immediately, hastening my steps.

His order was ready in exactly ten minutes. I was secretly praying that he wouldn't do anything weird. I took his cup of coffee to his table and set it down in front of him.

"Here is your order sir. Enjoy" i said as i gave a little smile to be more professional.

I turned and was about to walk away when he did something despicable. He grabbed my butt.

This shameless man, grabbed my ass with his disgusting hands.

Who the h*ll did he think he was? How dare he? What audacity?

I turned around, My eyes widening in shock and disgust as i looked at him.

He held a smile on his face like he had achieved something good. He looked up at me, and licked his tongue trying to look seductive, but he only disgusted me. I felt the immediate urge to puke, and felt very irritated by his behavior.

I gripped the tray tightly and moved back, struggling to contain my anger. I wasn't going to lose my job to this menace.

I closed my eyes shot, took a deep breath, and surppressed my anger. I gave him a wide smile, turned around and walked away.

I hadn't taken more than four steps, when grabbed me by my hands, stopping me in my tracks.

"Hey beautiful, come spend sometime with me" he said, his voice sounding very disgusting.

At this point, my anger was fueled up and was threatening to boil over.

I bit my teeth, trying to calm down.

I turned back at him, giving him a huge smile.

"What do you mean by that sir?" i said to him as i slowly began to release my hand from his disgusting grip.

"I mean you look hot, i would like to spend a night or two with you" he said to me, with a smile.

"Don't you want that pretty girl?" He added this time, looking at me up and down.

I held my hands tightly. "Sir, this is very inappropriate, i don't do such things" i said as i slowly moved back, keeping a distance from him.

He looked at me, gave a wide smile and said. "You have nice boobs by the way"

This was the last straw. I stood there shocked, and mouth left wide opened.

Never in my entire life, had i ever thought that i would be harassed, and by a disgusting looking man at that. I mean what audacity does he have to say that to me? How dare he? My anger skyrocketed through the roof. I no longer cared about my job and what the h*ll the man would say.

I gave my hand a little exercise, holding a firm grip, and before he could say jack, I landed a swift slap on his right cheek.

He held his cheek, looking at me in school

"What the h__" i didn't allow him to finish his sentence, as i landed another slap on his second cheek.

"I hope this tells you never to harass women sir" i said to him politely with a wide sarcastic smile.

I turned around and began to hop back to the counter.

The disgusting man began to scream, attempting to pull down the entire building. This alerted people in the coffee shop and my manager.

I didn't care though.

My manager ran out of her office, to see what the commotion was about. She walked over to me and asked me what was going on.

I gave her a smile and answered her.

"That shameless man over there harassed me, and i simply gave him a dose of his own medicine".
