ROLEPLAY HQ - cafe-love

It's a beautiful warm morning at the very first Friday of April as Kazushino wakes up and heads downstairs after getting dressed into his Cafe which he owned from his passed away grandpa and started running it after he graduated from college. "Alright than time to get the Cafe ready for customers." Said he with a tired smile and started to take the chairs off the tables and starts to wipea all of the table, as he finishes wiping the tables walks he over to the door and unlocks it plus turning the sign so it show now open. "Alright than everything is set up so far now I can prepare the coffee and cups." Said he with a proud smile and gets behind his counter and putting on his apron before starting to fill up the coffee machines with beans and milk.

@🍂Ken🍂

Aspen had just dropped her sons off at a babysitters and was rushing to get to work. But first she needed a coffee before she started to try and find a new job, and going to work. because she was taking the 'starving' artist litterly. So when the She walked into the Cafe pulling her hair into a poney tail. " Goodmorning. ." She called out looking around to find someone. She smiled seeing Kazushino. She hoped the cafe was opened if not she would be in trouble. "Are you opened ? If not I can come back later." She offered worriedly.

"Hehe good morning young lady, yes I'm already opened otherwise the door would have been locked." replied Kazushino with a playfully tone. "How may I help you out young lady, one of my coffee specialities or a snack or both? Oh and I'm Kazushino by the way the owner of this Cafe." Said he with a warm and calm smile as he leans on the counter with his hands.

Aspen smiled. "Right, sorry ! It's nice to meet you, Kauzushino. I'm Aspen." She replied coming into the Cafe walking over to main counter. "I'd like a coffee please, two pumps of creamer please." She smiled getting her wallet out of her bag. "Also do you offer free wifi? I gotta look for a new apartment and job " She sighed softly. "Who knew it would be hard to find something here. But I'll find something ." She smiked softly looking at thr pastries. "Do you have a banana nut muffin?" She asked.

"Usually the wifi here is my private wifi but I can give you the key to enter it with pleasure and without any extra costs but as little exchange for the wifi key I could offer you a job here at my Cafe and well in my apartment right above of us still are still enough empty and unused rooms." Said he with a smile as Kazushino started to make her an coffee and adds two pumps of cream into the cup, after that he puts an banana nut muffin on a plate together with a little note with the key of the wifi. "Alright than young lady there you have you order, a cup of coffee with two pumps of cream, a banana nut muffin and the wifi key." Said he brightly smiling.

Aspen looked at the other. "Oh, I couldn't ask you that, um we just met and well...I'm not sure if you'd actually be okay with me staying. " She admitted giving him a small smile paying for the things. "But a job, I'd like to apply." She agreed. She carefully went to pick a spot to sit before she came back to get the application. "Thank you I appreciate this. " She said softly.

"Hehe you are welcome, now please enjoy your coffee and muffin while I get the application papers ready for you to fill out." Replied he smiling as Kazushino putted the money into the cash register. "Oh and I understand it if you don't feel comfortable with it and I respect that but whenever you change your mind than just ask me please." Said he with a smile as he went a few steps aside to his laptop and printer and started to write down the application papers.

Aspen nodded "Okay! Thank you. Its not that I'm not comfortable. I do need a place to stay, I just don't know how much your wanting for rent. Or if you would be okay...with me and my situation " She admitted. Watching him going to get the papers. . "Irs a long story." She sighed looking at him couriously, hoping he understood what she meant.

"Well if it's a long story than why don't you start telling me that story?" Replied Kazushino with a chuckle as he printed all the necessary application papers. "And well since you would work for me here at the cafe I won't charge you a rent as long as you make yourself useful in the household." Said Kazushino with a smile as he started walking over to the young lady and sit down on the chair across from her with the papers. "Well than young lady why don't you tell me your name and long story before you reply to my apartment offer?" Asked Kazushino kindly and calm as he handed her a pen and the application papers.

Aspen paused slightly as she looked at him. "It's Aspen...what do you mean by being useful in the household?" She asked giving him a look, not taking the application or pen. "I work three other jobs, so I don't know what you mean by being use ful." She replied leaning back in her seat.

"Nice to meet you Aspen and three other jobs? Sounds to me like you are an single mother or something, well than forget the thing with being useful in the household if you really are working that hard, than I won't ask you for householding tasks but may I ask why you are working at three different jobs when you are looking for an apartment? I mean yea kids aren't cheap but three jobs?" Asked Kazushino surprised but completely understanding. "How about that, if you quit your three jobs other jobs and accept my apartment offering and the job application here than you won't have to pay any rent plus I help you taking care of your kids if you really are a single mother, as I said there are a lot of unused rooms." Said Kazushino with a warm smile as he leaned in and resting his arms on his lap.

Aspen raised an eyebrow. "I am a single mother, so there is no if. And I have three jobs, to feed my kids, and to pay for their medical bills, as well as other things. Rent isnt cheap and neither is food." She replied looking at him, she didn't really look happy. "Let me ask you this Kazushino. If you plan on helping with my kids. How patient are you? Like if you have them be 'useful' in the house hold. How patient are you with a six year old?" She asked using hand quotations when she said the word useful.

"I completely understand your disbelief Aspen and also that you maybe got a little sceptic or mad at me but as I said all of this is just an offer besides the job offering so there is no force to accept the apartment offering, plus I'm pretty patient with kids i have a young cousin, I had to babysit her a lot in the last three years and still managed to graduate successfully from college, so I would call myself pretty patient with kids but I gladly repeat me again Aspen all of this just in an offer and I won't force you to anything, I planned on hanging out a poster to find employees and or a roommate anyway so, plus making useful in the household would have only been keeping it clean mainly and yes I do know that kids and keeping things clean is a combination which doesn't work very well sometimes." Replied Kazushino still with his calm voice as he shrugged with his arms and leaned back against his chair. "Why don't you think about those two offers of mine first for at least a day Aspen, I mean working four different jobs, to feed and pay bills for your kids is a big thing and probably will cause you to burnout at some point if you don't listen to your own body, don't get me wrong please I do respect how much you care about your kids and what risks you are ready to take for them but risking your own health just to raise and pay for them all alone is ridiculous plus it could end up pretty bad I mean I saw with my own eyes what happens if you work to much and if the burnout ends up very badly than I think you can imagine the rest of my words." Said Kazushino still keeping a calm face and voice trying to relax the situation but still facing her with facts which both know that those words are true as he grabbed for the pen and papers.

Aspen hummed watching him. She raised an eyebrow. "Now, If I decide to stay I will clean up after me and my kids. Maybe use a better word them be useful, that sounds as if your looking for a maid, someone to cook and clean for you." She replied sitting up straighter, before giving him another look. "Alright hows your patience with special needs kids? Any patience with them?" "My health is no one else's concern but mine, the facts are, if I don't work these jobs, I'll be living in my car. I have seen people burnt put and trust me, I have dealt with it first hand. I'm fine. " She replied getting a big annoyed with the man infront of her. She wondered if he thought she didn't know what she was doing. "It may be ridiculous but you don't have kids to raise or the risk of being homeless."

"Well I don't look for a maid Aspen, I can cook, clean and do laundry by myself actually so thats not the problem for me, I just respect other people's privacy like their clothes, as I said I went three years to college and had to deal with such stuff all for myself, its just I helped my roommate at the college out, found something as I made our laundry which than caused a fight between him and me and since that I keep my hands off other people's stuff like their laundry, so all I would ask for is washing your own laundry and well special needs kids huh? Well no problem at all for me and sure your health isn't someone else's concern thats true but why refusing such an offer like an apartment to live in for which you don't have to pay rent as long as you would work at a cafe right beneath it and yea I do know the risks of living in a car I mean its always in the newspaper at least once a week so but as I said I won't force you to anything and I recommend you to at least think about those offers of mine." Said Kazushino with an obviously hearable concerned voice as he places the application papers down on the table again and places the money which Aspen paid for her coffee and snack on top of the papers and puts than another $50 bucks on top of it. "The coffee and snack are on me plus buy your kids something nice." Said he as he got up of his chair and leaving the table without any further comments and disappears behind his counter and getting upstairs to his apartment.

Aspen looked as if she was going to cry, from both embaressment and anger. She put both applications down money behind the counter, digging into her purse to get money for the coffee and muffin. "Thank you, but no thank you, I am not a charity case. I can buy my kids nice things I don't need your money, I can do my own laundry. I am hesitant because no one just offers a home and job without expecting something in return." She suddnely said tears actually falling from her eyes. She looked hurt by his words. "I don't know if you think your being kind, but you arnt. Your acting as if I dont already know the risks. I don't need your money, I don't need your stupid apartment, or job." She said wiping her tears away shakenly. "I've worked every single day since I turned 11. And guess what it got me pretty far." She snapped looking at him, she turned sharp on her heels and walked out of the Cafe, in tears. People watched as she walked quickly away, trying to hide herself from the shame. She hadn't rekized she left her phone.

he sighed as he came back and saw that Aspen has gone but leaving the papers, money. "I understand you and your inner frustration Aspen, more than you actually think or believe." mumbles Kazushino to himself as he took the money and papers and realizes her phone still on the table. "Oh dear seriously she forgot that thing here? I better make sure to find her and return her phone back to her and to apologize myself." Said Kazushino and grabbing her phone, he quickly locks the Cafe as he leaves it and tries to find Aspen not caring that he still wears his apron.

Aspen arrived at her work about ten minutes later. She worked in a flower shop with her best friend Charlie. The two had hid in the back room for a moment , Charlie holding her friend as she cried. Letting her know about the embaressment she had just gone through. The shop owner was at the front of the store. Preparing for the day, letting the girls figure out what they needed to do. He walked to the front of the store unlocking the door.

after a while Kazushino gives up on looking for Aspen since he couldn't find her to return the phone to her and apologise. He decided to walk to the police to give them the phone to return it to Aspen. After that he headed back to his cafe and started to serve customers after he opened the cafe again.

later that day, Aspen returned to the café, she had a little boy who looked to be only 6 in her arms, while a 12 year old boy folloeed behind her, holding her hand. They walked to the line waiting paiently for it to be their turn. She came to retrieve her phone, not realizing it was taken to the police department.
