He sat there in his car looking out from the windshield of his car at the sign saying 'Sip Coffee Nation'. He has gone through his plan for over hundred times and everything was perfect but he still couldn't find it in himself to get out of the car. His palms were sweating and so was his forehead. He turned off the heater and sat there staring at the sign for another ten minutes.

He jumped when his phone rang. He wiped his sweaty palms with a tissue and picked up his phone. When he saw that it was Dylan, he groaned.

Reluctantly, he answered the call. "Hello?"

"How's it going? Did you meet her? Am I disturbing a date, huh?" his best friend pulled his leg.

"Not really. I might still be sitting in my car." Kevin said.

"You might be but you aren't, right?"

"..."

"RIGHT, KEVIN?"

Kevin just clears his throat in reply.

"WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL, DUDE? You must have reached there almost half an hour ago and you're still sitting in the fucking car?!"

"What do I do?"

"Get your ass out of the car and go inside the damn café!"

"What if she's not there? Maybe I should come back tomorrow?"

"Dude, you gave her your word! Don't you dare back out now! If you're not out of the car in the next ten seconds, I'm going to come over there and drag your ass out of the car myself!"

"Fine! Fine. I'm going, alright!" he gets out of the car and locks it. "I'm out of the car now, happy?"

"Not totally. Now drag yourself in that café and meet the girl. Call me as soon as your meeting gets over. Goodbye!"

Kevin sighs and puts the phone back in his pocket. He looks at the glass door and tries to make out what the café looks like but the glass had a translucent coating over it which only allowed the sillhouttes of the people to be visible.

He takes a deep breath and walk towards the café. He contemplates going inside once again when he holds the doorknob in his hand but he doesn't get much time to think because another customer comes and stands behind him, waiting impatiently for him to open the door.

With another deep breath, he turns the knob and pushes the door open. He enters the café and his eyes take in his surrounding. The café has interiors in the colours coffee brown and cream. It's a small café with tables and booths covering most of the space and the mild coffee aroma is enough to make someone crave for coffee.

There is a bar like counter where the barista is making coffee and a small queue is lined up to place their orders at the cash counter. What draws her attention is a girl sitting on a chair reading a book behind the girl taking the orders.

Her brown hair are up in a bun and she looks really engrossed in her book. He tries looking in her eyes but she is looking down at her book. He tries tilting his face at different angles but no avail. Before he could think of anything else, someone blocks his view of that girl.
