The Lie

*Chp 2:- First Encounter (part 2)

Chan

I looked at the clouds outside the window, it looks like it will rain soon I should maybe run home fast. I made up my mind and searched my coat, I said my goodbyes to all the staff and left.

Thanfully, when I reached under the company building the rain had not started yet so I started walking at a regular pace unti I felt a few drops on my hands I decided that now it was time to run. I started slightly jogging when the started rain started pouring down I ran to the nearest cafe to take shelter.

I ran in the cafe and pulled off my coat because it got drenched in the rain. I thought while I'm here maybe I should get a coffee. I made my way to the counter to see a really pretty girl standing there.

Pretty was an understatement for her,
Brown locks casacded down her shoulders, brown eyes, light skinned looking flawless in her black tee and brown apron. A sweet fragrance of vanilla around her.

Collect yourself chan, I thought to myself.

"Hello, good evening, I would like a iced americano"

She seemed to be lost in something until i waved my hand infront of her face.

"Eh?"

She sounded so cute all lost and confused.

"I said I'd like an iced americano please"
"Okay sir, would you like anything else??"
"Uhmm nothing actually"
"Okay, but could I suggest you to maybe trying a decaf probably cause it's cheaper and also too late in the night to be having an americano"

As soon as she said cheaper I looked at her. Hmmm cheaper I would save money that way and could add it up.

"Yeah, I think I'll have the decaf"
"Uh? Yeah sure I can do that for you, how would you like to pay sir, cash or credit"
"Cash please"
"Okay, that would be 5,000₩"
"Yeah, here you go"
"Thank you, I will ring you up when your drink is ready"

She gave me my bill and ringer and I walked away from her, as I was walking I could not smell her sweet smell anymore and that made me frown slightly. I sat down at the window and looked out the window at the rain, I felt eyes and on me and turned to look at where the gaze came from and saw the cashier looking at me but she quickly turned away to get back to her work.

She was staring at me maybe she is a STAY I should ask her. I continued to look at her until I myself realised I was staring at her. But it was like a guilty pleasure I wanted to continue staring at her but I also knew I shouldn't. I could not get my eyes off of her until I felt my ringer vibrate under my hand.

I got up and made my way upto her.

"Here you are sir, a decaf iced americano"

She passed the drink to me on the counter.
"Thank you, also I actually noticed awhile back you were staring at me, are you by any chance a stay"

She seemed to not know what a stay was.

"Uhmm, what's a stay, I'm soo sorry for staring it's just that uhmm, you are very handsome and I could not stop staring at you"

She bowed her head down in shame.
But it made me think maybe it's me who was supposed to bow my head, I did stare at her for longer than she did.

"Ohh it's okay actually"

I turned and proceeded to put my coat on my head to cover myself from the rain thats when the cashier said

"Excuse me sir, you seem to not have an umbrella, here take this one"

She said and reached down under the counter to pull out an umbrella, She seems like a very kind person.

"No it's fine I can get wet, plus I have my coat anyways"
"No please take his as an apology for earlier"

Evenmore the reason not to take the umbrella.

"No it's actually fine it looks like it's yours"
"No please take it, it's my extra umbrella I kept today because I knew it was gonna rain, anyways I have another one right here"

I thought for a second on whether I should take it, or not. Well if I do take it that would give me a clear reason to come back here and meet her.

"Here you go, I insist"
"Thank you, for this and the coffee"
"Do comeback sometime"

Ohh I will, I mumbled to myself, and smirked. I'm gonna be coming back here many times.

I proceed to leave the cafe with the umbrella and walked away slowly reminding myself that I have to keep coming back here.
