Billionaire Diaries #2: Caleb Acosta

Chapter 7

KELLY's eyes left the sight of him. Alam niyang walang dahilan para maapektuhan siya. O.. meron pa ba?

"You know him?" Adelaide stared at her.

She nodded shortly. "Yeah, kind of acquaintance, " she answered simply.

She doesn't know if Caleb saw her. The cafe's not that crowded. Imposible namang hindi man lang siya madapuan nito ng tingin. Pero siguro ay hindi rin siya nakilala. She's not facing him, anyway. Nakatalikod siya rito.

Ade sipped in the coffee while looking at her. "I think you too are close. He's coming here, e. "

Nanlaki ang mata niya. In her peripheral vision, she can clearly see Caleb going in their table. Pero baka naman hindi papunta sa kan'ya? But aside from them, no one's in their area. Alangan namang pumunta ito sa halamang nasa tabi niya?

She shook her head. Kung pupunta nga si Caleb sa lamesa nila ni Ade, ano naman?

Maybe he'll just talk.

"You're here.. " Caleb looked at her. Umirap naman siya. Talaga namang nandoon siya.

"What do you want? I'm having my coffee here, " Kelly then sipped to her coffee.

"I'm just saying my greetings. It's rude if I'll just stay with my table eventhough I saw a good acquaintance of mine. "

She nodded. "Okay. "

Caleb chuckled. "Okay? That's all?"

Huminga siya ng malalim. "Ano pa ba dapat? Wala na rin naman akong masabi sa'yo. Perhaps, good morning?"

He smiled. She was annoyed with it. May dapat ba itong ikangiti?

"I see that you're with a friend, " he looked at Ade.

Kaya naman pala nilapitan siya! Is he planning to hit on Ade? Jerk!

"She's not interested with you, " agad niyang sabi na ikinalingon ni Adelaide sa kan'ya. She's saving her friend here!

He let out a hearty laugh. "I'm not saying that I'm interested with anyone, though. "

Liar..

"You should go back to your table. Hindi ka ba nahihiya na iniwan mo lang doon ang girlfriend mo?" Napapansin kasi niyang nakatingin ang babae sa kanila.

Ang kinakainis pa niya, may itsura ang babae. Alright, the girl's very pretty.

Mas lalo siyang napairap nang tinawag nito ang babae. Talagang dadalhin pa nito sa lamesa nila, ha? Ang sikip sikip na nga!

"Hi, are you enjoying the coffee?" the girl said as soon as she arrived to their table. Hala, anong paki nito kung magustuhan man nila o hindi? Is she the owner of the café? E, hindi naman.

Ade smiled. "Yeah, probably one of the best coffee I've tasted. "

Napilitin naman siyang ngumiti nang makitang tumingin sa kan'ya ang babae. Hindi lang 'yun, the girl's sweetly smiling at her! Paano naman niya susupladahan ang babae kung ganoon?

"It tastes fine, " she answered.

Ngumiti ito at inilahad ang kamay sa harapan niya. "I'm Freesia, the owner of this cafe. Feel free to ask our staffs if there's something the both of you needed. "

Halos lumubog siya sa puwesto niya. Owner? Nasaktan man ang pride niya dahil nagkamali siya sa naisip kanina pero inabot parin niya ang kamay nito.

Freesia looked at Caleb. "I'll leave you here, Cal. Thank you for looking at my baby while I'm gone. " Humarap ito sa amin. "It's nice to meet the both of you. Have a nice day!"
