NIKKI HAINES
A figure in a jeans and T-shirt made her way into the shop with a bouncy, go lucky smile beaming over her face. Hair was held up in a loose ponytail, swagging as she walked through the door and over to the counter to order. It could be clear to anyone that she was naturally energetic but she had a mad love for the Joe they served in this town. Her bright eyes moved to the menu in front of her. Cappuccino or black coffee? She thought brisking her eyes over the variety to flavors that could be added and the assorted beans all with distinct flavors.
She leaned on the contour patiently after making a decision on the type of Joe she wanted. Soon a young man at the counter came over to take her order. May I take your order? he asked in polite way and then flashed her a grin. Nikki couldn't help but return the kind grin, with flash of her white teeth. I'll have a small black coffee, strong, please. she added and then took her elbows off the counter to wait for her coffee and then pay the man.
When her coffee arrived, she reached into her pocket and took out a five. She handed to the cashier and then waited for the change, even though she was going to place it in the tip jar. The boy put the change in her hand and then her hand placed it in the tip jar. The boy thanked her and then she went and sat down at a window seat with a newspaper in hand. She took a sip of her Joe and while glazing her eyes over the latest news in town.
