You decided that you will stay behind the counter, making the drinks and serving the food for the boys while they waited the tables, so you can keep an eye on Kazutora and that rich woman. It wasn't even 10 minutes ago that she arrived, but you wished she would leave already. It wasn't enough that she constantly asked for something so Kazutora would go over to the table, but you saw how Kazutora smiled at her, and always said something to her to make her laugh.

You were drying up some cups and glasses with a dish towel, while your eyes were glued to them. You saw Kazutora's relaxed posture, while sometimes he gestured with his hands as he talked, and how that woman was beaming up at him, giggling like a schoolgirl.

'Would you please just fucking choke on your cappuccino?' you thought angrily as you watched them.

You heard as the back door opened and Naomi walked out. She looked over at the tables then she walked next to you.

"Are you alright, dear?" she asked as she put down the baking dish on the counter, with fresh baked goods in them.

"Peachy." you murmured, while your eyes were still on them.

Naomi followed you gaze. She knew that you and Kazutora were flatmates and friends, but when she saw the look in your eyes and what caused it, she already knew what was the problem.

"He doesn't like her." she said as she started putting the muffins and pastries in the bakery counter.

"Huh?" you asked, finally looking away from them.

Naomi smiled at you while her hands were still working.

"Kazutora. He doesn't like her."

"How do you know? She's beautiful."

"Maybe, but Kazutora is not the type of man, who only sees that in a woman."

"Right now it doesn't look like it." you grumbled when you noticed that he leaned a little bit forward, but not close, just to say something a little quieter to her.

"Chifuyu said that they made a bet. Kazutora's just trying to win it." Naomi said as she patted your shoulder.

"Well, he should try less." you murmured and Naomi laughed and went through the door to the back.

There's no use to deny it. You admitted it to Hina and Emma yesterday after work. You liked Kazutora. A lot. You just don't know if that feeling was strong enough to call it love, but right now, seeing him with another woman made that feeling grew stronger. But the feeling in your chest quickly turned into panic when you saw that two other woman, who looked similar like the one who was Kazutora talking to, walked inside and sat down to the same table.

'This is just getting better and better.' you thought as you put the cups and glasses away angrily. 'I hope she doesn't have more friends.'

Kazutora walked over to the counter and you saw that now all three of them were staring at his retreating form, whispering to each other giggling. You rolled your eyes, but when Kazutora reached you, you put on a smile.

"Looks like you're gonna have a nice tip."

"Yeah, and why's that?" Kazutora asked as he leaned on the counter and slipped a piece of paper in front of you with the orders on it.

"They were all staring at your ass, when you walked over here." you said as you started making the coffees.

Kazutora grinned, then he went to the other side of the counter to serve the pastries they asked for.

"What can I say? They have good taste."

"Oh my God!" you groaned as you put the first coffee on his tray, and Kazutora chuckled at your reaction.
