I couldn't go back to sleep after being confess by Liam. Technically even Adam in his own way. 

I prepare myself to meet Gerald in front of the building. He wants to grab coffee and have a chat. It's a regular hang out. 

After being confess by two men that I wasn't trying to be romantically involve with them makes so confuse that I accept the offer from Gerald. 

I casually wear my turtle neck sweater and jeans. I wear winter boots since snow appear last night. There will be snow on the ground. 

When I step outside, my boots press the snow seeing my footprints. 

Gerald is waiting leaning against his car smoking a cigarette. When he saw me, he quickly throws it out. 


"Hey," he said. 


"Hey, Gerald." 


He opens the passenger door for me. I enter. 


He close the doors and walks around to the driver's seat. 


He enters and start the engine. 


"I can't believe it's snowing," I said. 


"It might be snowing on Christmas day," he told me. 


"I always want to see snow on Christmas day as a kid." 


"It hasn't snow on Christmas day since forty years ago."


"That long!"


"Odd, isn't it?"


Gerald turn on the heater feeling myself getting toasty.


"What café are you thinking about?" I ask.


"There's a small café I go to by my work place."


We made it to the café in thirty minutes as for parking. We went to the parking lot in ten minutes. 


[Love Café] 

We enter the small café seeing a number of people sitting at their laptop or chatting with a person they were with. 


"Any drinks you want to get?" Gerald ask. 


"hot chocolate."


Gerald walks over to the cashier order  the drinks. 

"wait, let me pay," I said.


"I got it." 


Gerald takes out his wallet and takes out his debit card. 


"Gerald, It's okay. you don't need to pay me."
