I looked at my clock, 5:56. I thought about the dream as I brushed my teeth and turned on the shower.
After I finished showering I threw on a summer dress from my dresser and I decided I would go to the local coffee shop and get some work done.
Before I left, I gave Luna some food (happy meows from her) and checked the time again. It was now 7:28 and I took my keys.
As I took my laptop and notebook and put it next to me in the car, I got in and started backing up, then started driving, it would take 2-3 minutes.
Even if I had Luna, it was very lonely living alone, maybe I would meet someone at the coffee shop! Probably not.
I parked in there parking lot, it was small but there wasn't too many people there so I took my things out and locked my car.
As I opened the door, the bell rang. "Hello!" I said to the staff as they already knew me by now.
As I started putting my things in a corner, I went up to the counter and just asked for a small coffee. Then, I opened up my laptop and started writing.
"Dreams." I labeled the document, I wanted not to forget that dream so I decided I would write it down, maybe I would add to it sometime.
When I got a few sentences in, a tall young man (looked a little older than me) bring me my coffee, I had never seen him before so I smiled at him.
"What're working on? If you don't mind." He said as he sat down next to me and I looked at him.
"Just writing down a dream I had, last night actually." I replied as I saw him looking at the few sentences I had.
When he was done reading he looked at me, "Monster?" He replied.
I soon remembered what my mind said, "I'm not a monster." Replayed in my mind again and again.
"Oh- erm.." I deleted "monster" in the document and replaced it with man instead. He looked at me and smiled as he got up and went into the back of the cafe. I got the same cold sweat that I did in the dream.
I took a sip of my coffee and looked at him from the corner. (did I just mess it up?) I think he saw the confusion on my face because he smiled slightly and went to take another order from someone who just walked in.
A couple minutes later when he brought back what the couple had ordered, he went up to my table.
"Need anything else?" He asked me as I looked up at him.
I sighed, "No, I'm good." I replied looking drained even though I was drinking coffee.
He made an audible "Hmm.." and walked to talk with one of his co-workers then came back to me with 2 bagels.
"Here." His voice was deep but not too deep, he held out a bagel. I smiled as I took the bagel.
He sat down next to me. "I'm Lucifer, what about you?"
"Like the devil?" I asked, smiling. "I'm Jasmine." I put my hand out to shake his.
He chuckled darkly, "Like the tea?" He shook my hand.
He almost felt like someone I knew.
