Somewhere With You

<Chapter #3>

<Aliana's point of view>

I can't say clearly what makes me amused more, the person himself? Or what he was bursting out his mouth? Without any blink, I was staring at him. He has a wired smile all over his face. Looking at him it was never obvious what's going inside his mind. A few seconds passed like dazzling light and stormy wind. It all comes out to an end with the sound of my own heartbeat. Catching my all thoughts together I replied- "what do you mean by that? Do you know me?"

He just nods his head from right to left. Later he started to speak "lady, I guess you would love to know someone like me, but I am curious about the food for now! Can you suggest me something?"

I felt like he was ignoring my words. "Excuse me! Can you bother telling me, how you know my name? "

"Miss. Grey eyed Aliana! I heard someone calling you by this name. Don't get flustered so soon. I will give you many chances to do so." He again said with a similar playful tone like playing some kind of game.

To not take this further, I decided to ignore him from now on. So for the final time, I asked about what he would like to have.

-It would be delicious to have you miss. Grey eye, but for now I would like some 'apple pie' and 'iced Americano' plz!

Giving him an angry look I moved to the counter to proceed with orders. I delivered his order to the helper. I at that very moment decided to ignore him and concentrate on my work. As time passed I also moved to my work. But in my absent mind, I was feeling his smirk on me. Even I can't deny how curious I was because of him.

Within our world half of an hour passed, in the meantime, few customers leave this place while few added. As a routine, I was into making coffee or serving orders, and many more. A knock on the counter caught my attention.

"Lady, I guess it is tough to concentrate! So, for now, I am taking your leave. <Smirk> how should I pay for you?" he said to me.

"In cash sir! Counting 20, dollar please" I said looking at him.

Without further words, he paid the money and started to move to the door. But after few steps, he again comes back and said "with love people "Darik". And what they call with hate let's keep it for another meeting."

Speaking his words he moves out of the door, making me look at the way he is going.
