Sunrise
Chapter One
Every morning, I am here. Every morning I order the same thing, a Venti Latte for my Aunt Cari, who also so happens to be my boss. Me? I never order any thing for me, I get my coffee right when I get up, it's one of the few perks of living at home at 30. No need for Starbucks when you have a mom that is up at the crack of dawn to make breakfast for you and your dad.
Every morning, I see the same people: The chatty old man, the frazzled mom of twin toddlers, the uppity business man always on his phone, the sleepy police sergeant, and the guy with the stunning cheek bones. While the others order difficult specialty drinks or boring coffee, "Cheekbones" ALWAYS orders a "double expresso". I take it he isnt a South Florida native, we all know the best place to get one of those is at your local hole in the wall cafe. Like clockwork, he dumps some sugar in and quickly walks off, sometimes he is alone and sometimes he is with some other guys, who both happen to be red heads.
Today was different, today as he was walking off with is double shot, he smiled at me and said "hello". He had a ball cap on, but I could tell his eyes were dark and deep set, they matched his bone structure just right, he was very attractive, but way out of my league. Why would a guy like that want to date a 30 year old chick that still lived with her old fashioned Cuban-American parents??
I arrived at my job at the Miami Beach Resort, a hotel my Aunt Cari manages. The hotel has been stuck in time for the past 30 years, but rakes them with cheap group rates. I am in charge sales and reservations, I have worked here since I was 18 and have never had any desire to leave. I am pretty excited because my parents are going to be gone for a month, so I wont have to deal with them giving me the third degree about my every move. Tonight, I am celebrating by going out with , Milena, my perpetually single friend.
"You know, your parents told me to keep an eye you, even asking me if I would stay over there to keep an eye on you, but I declined. You are 30 years old!! I told them you would be more than fine. They need to realize that you are a grown woman! ", Cari explained as she took a sip of her latte. I suppose she was right, even Milena mentioned that it was going to be nice not to rush to have me home by midnight!
Milena and I decided to go to The Room, a very low key bar in South Beach, we ordered some wine and began to chat. Milena lost interest after a while when she spotted an ex and made it over his way, I found myself alone until I heard a voice say "You got ditched too?" I turned around and locked eyes with "Cheekbones" himself!!!
"Yeah, that's what it looks like, guess she is in the mood for a hook up", I said as I rolled my eyes.
"My friend dumped me too, his wife called and wanted him home right away. She rules that house. By the way my name is Tomas" he said with a slight accent in his voice.
"I'm Lourdes, nice to meet you", I smiled back. He looked good: He was wearing a blue buttoned down shirt, with faded jeans and sunglasses on his messy brown hair.
"Can I buy you a drink? Wine", he inquired with his dark eyes lighting up.
"Wine is good", I answered back.
This might have potential..
