coffee | one shot

"How's life goin?" he said which made me smile bitterly.

"Good. How about you? I heard you're about to get married now. Congrats." I said as i faked a smile. He clicked his tongue and looked away, whispering something.

"Pardon?" I said that made him turn his gaze back on me. How i miss those eyes. How it makes me feel that I'm the most precious thing ever, how I'm the most beautiful person he ever met and how I am his world... But that's all lies. I sounds so bitter like how bitter the coffee drinking right now.

"I said thank you. It's great to know that you're doing good..." He said as his voice is getting smaller. Awkwardness filled the two of us, making us hear only the people making chaos and the cups getting places. I sipped at my coffee and looked at how the people shares their umbrellas. I smiled and thought of how we also run in the rain back then. Minutes passed and silence still kept in the two of us. I quickly drank my coffee so that I can go home quickly. He noticed how I wanna go home badly and laughed mockingly.

"I can see that you don't really wanna see me that much huh. Don't worry, this will be the last time we'll meet, drink slowly or you'll choke. I don't wanna have more responsibilities." He said that made me raise my eyebrows.

"Your ego's here again. Can't you even appreciate my effort so that you'll be able to get back home early to your fiance?" I said before drinking my last sip. I immediately picked my things up and bid a goodbye.

"Thank you for the coffee. I gotta go now, hope you atleast enjoyed the coffee. I guess this is the last goodbye now then, be happy and goodbye mark lee." I said and left him at the coffee shop. Tears started pouring down on my tears. Just why am I crying? Like wth, I don't deserve him. My life's getting more and more cliché as the time goes by. I searched for my umbrella and only realized that I forgot to bring one. Luck really hates me huh. More and more tears poured on my eye and a bitter smile formed in my face.

Helplessly and patiently, I waited for a taxi to pass by but none came. What's wrong with my day? I was about to panic when I realized that I can actually call for one but not until I knew that my battery died. I hate this. Minutes passed by and I still waited for a taxi to pass by. I squatted and still waited. An hour has already passed by since I went out of the coffee shop. I glanced at our seat lately to see if mark is still there. But no, he didn't even left any mark of his appearance.

I decided to go back to the coffee shop and wait for the rain to stop, ordering another coffee. Sipping on my coffee made me teary again, hating myself. Just what did I do to deserve this? Looking at the pouring rain made me feel better so I just thought of some happy thoughts to brighten up my day. I crouched in the table and closed my eyes.

I was about to fall asleep when someone placed a jacket on me. It felt so warm and I didn't even bothered to see who placed it, yet hoping that he came back.

"Yo.. I thought you'll go home already?" How calming it is to hear his soft voice.

"Guess you're asleep now then.." I just listened to him and tried to sleep but I just can't.

"Hey y/n, do you even know that I really am not going to get married? Like I know you don't care anymore but yeah.. why am i even talking to someone asleep?" He said. Good to know that you know that I don't even give a fck. The noise of the people in the coffee shop lessened. Maybe because some people already went out.

"I just made my relationship with Keesha (your friend) up. Don't hate her, she actually slapped and cursed me for this. Do you even know how painful it is? Seeing you with someone else is tearing up my heart. I don't even think I can survive it." He said that made me kunfused and process what he just said.
