AFTER HOURS ✔

10

The aroma of the coffee began to fill.

I poured it into two cups for both of us walking towards him.

I placed the cups on the table as I sat down on the couch, watching the basketball.

Even though I watch it often I never seem to get less excited.

It's just the same amount of excitement I have for it as every other time.

He sips on the coffee and looks at me, as he gulps he says " Hands down one of the best coffee I have ever had".

I smile and take my hand and pat my back for my works as we both chuckle at my actions.

" I'll be back," I say, walking to the washroom taking a quick bath.

I wear normal attire, I pull my hair back and braid it to a plait, as I let out few strands to fall which made me look good.

I grabbed my purse, and my to-buy list tucking it in.

" That was quick," he says as he watched me walking out.

Of course

" So grocery?" I ask him.

" Oh yeah," he says standing up.

I grab my car keys locking the house door walking out.

As we reach the garage he reaches his sleek black car, and I go to mine beside the red MC Lauren.

" Woah woman we'll go in mine? " he says raising both his hands up.

" Heads and tails?" I ask him

"Okay," he agrees.

" I want heads", he said.

I flipped the coin which revealed heads.

Of course, I know.

He walked towards the passenger's seat, opening the door for me.

"After you mam", he said bowing his head.

It was cute I chuckled at his actions as I hopped in the car while he closed the door for me and he jogged towards the driver's seat.

The drive was comfortable, it wasn't strange.

We reached Target and I stepped out of the car once he parked.

We walked in rummaging through the aisles.

Our shopping kart filled with boxes of cereals, I noticed that he and I like the same cereals.

Dry fruits check.

Protein shake powder check.

Paper towels check.

Toiletries.

And few everyday essentials and other edibles.

I reached the aisle to get the pads.

And mine decided to be on the top shelf.

Perfect.

I look up and try to grab.

A hand reached from behind me and grabs it for me.

" One more please " I requested blushing due to our close contact.

He grabbed another one placing it on the cart.

" Thank you "

" Anytime," he says shrugging.

I take my checklist, checking if I left anything.

He chuckled looking at me.

" Sorry?" I ask confused.

" You remind me of my mum," he says crossing both his hands on the handle of the kart, leaning in.

We were lost in the moment that we failed to notice a kid came running pushing the trolley.

He lost his balance.

I got good reflexes.

I help him before he could kiss the ground.

I felt his um.

I lose my stance and stand steadily, so does he as he composes himself.

Clearing his throat he says a quick " Thank you"
