Saturday!! Hey! Hey Hey! Guess what I got!! HIS NUMBER!!!! And you know what's more surprising? In fact, he has added me to his contact and I'm the only one who never accepted it! I looked at the messages he sent for me, and you know what I got? He asked me countless times, did something happens in the Cafe while he was busy delivering all the drinks and pieces of bread for three months straight. Don't you think he is something?
'bbrrr' the vibration of my phone stops my busy hand. The name on the display pauses my mind and my surroundings. The word N.I.C.K showed on my phone. I write the last sentence on the diary at full tilt. HE TEXTS ME!! I GOTTA GO...BYE!
I rushed to my bed and nervously read his message.
Nick: How about your legs? Can you walk tomorrow?
Me : Hahaha, sure...I guess. Thanks for earlier. You'll come tomorrow, right?
Nick: That's fine..sure I'll go tomorrow!
Me : Why didn't you come today?
Nick: I got a school assignment. I just knew you live there.
Me : Yeah, It just took 5 minutes to school. Do you live nearby too?
Nick: I live near campus but not as close as you. Do you have any vehicles?
Me : Bus hahaha
Nick: I mean like car or motorcycle
For your information...I was joking. - -"
Me : Nope hahaha
Nick: You'll not resign, right?
Me : Of course I won't. Nothing will happen as long as I keep my alertness.
Nick: I'll keep you safe. I won't let you resign.
Me : Why? hahaha, cause it'll be hard to find another one?
Nick: Cause I like you.
The clock stops ticking, my fingers can't move. FREEZE. Did he say he like me?
Nick: I like how you work. You are a good worker and your English is fluent too. That's the most important.
Ha..ha..ha..so you like how I work...I guess it's still a long way for him to grow some feelings for me, right?
Me : Hahaha thanks for the compliment, but you've survived that situation before I applied there.
Nick: We used to use google translation. We gave our phone to them and let them figured the way out to order the food.
Me : Doesn't he speak English? I mean the owner.
Nick: Josh? He married an American...I've worked there for one year but I never heard him speak English.
We say our good night one hour later. I was going to close my eyes when Prisca's voice on the corridor wake me up. I open my door and Prisca comes into my view, "Wha__," behind my door, I see the appearance of someone's shadow. "See you tomorrow," a male voice?! I open the door right away and Prisca together with the brown leather jacket appears before my eyes. He leaves after his eyes met mine. I stare at Prisca with a million question marks on my head. "Assignment," she explains.
We live in the same building and her room is next to mine. She never brings anyone to her room before, not even female friends...except me. Her explanation doesn't bring my eyebrow down. "He's not that kind of person. He is a good person," she clarifies my opinion. "He was the one who stepped my mask and left after that short apology," describe me patiently.
