CHAPTER 11

3rd person's point of view:

'She's getting distracted again, that's not her. Is something bothering her?' Armin questioned.

"I know what you're thinking Armin. Believe me nothings wrong" she reassured the blonde boy, he on the other hand doesn't believe her.

"Is it about your bestfriends coach? I can help you find a replacement for him. I'm sure we can find one?" He said and he started to ramble about possible replacement for the football player.

"Armin stop" she laughed, trying to calm down the panicking boy.

"I was just thinking- believe me it's nothing wrong, so please calm down" she said in a soft tone, picking up the book that the blonde dropped from all the chaos.

She sat him down once more before scooping  up the grey feline from the floor. She layed her head on his shoulder trying to calm him panicking state.

"Are you su-" she shush him before he can even finish his sentence.
He looks at her shockingly but gain his composure in an instant.

She closed her eye's slowly as he pulled her closer to him. Somewhat cradling her.

"Huh- oh! Armin you're here again!"
Someone suddenly yelled scaring Annie, causing her to open her eyes quickly.

"Oh! Gully great to see you!" Armin stood up to go hug the cafe's manager. Who he javent seen in while.

"Am Armin who is he?" Ask Annie as she went up to join them, they pulled away and shook each others hand before paying their attention to her.

Armin circled his arms around her waist unknowingly before answer her questions.
"This is gully the cafe's manager, and my friend since we have the same tutor while growing up" Armin introduced him.

"O-oh Annie by the way, Armin's friend" she stutter  as she reach her hand out for him to shake.

"Nice to meet you- Ms. Annie" he smiled and shook her hand, looking at her crystal blue eyes never breaking contact. His hand lingering on hers no intention on pulling back.

Armin noticing his intentions wanting to break them apart. His gaze down where their hands connected something foreign bubbling up inside him.

He looks at Annie trying to get a reaction but what he saw was something he didn't expect.
Her mouth was agape, focusing her gaze on his brown eyes not minding their surroundings.

Like she was caught in trace by him. Heat was slowly raising up to her cheeks making it rose tinted. Her break hitched once she saw his kind genuine smile.

'What am i feeling?' Armin questioned, he place his hand on his chest. Something was brewing up inside him that he can't quite explain. He never felt like it before.

'Am i sick? I dont think so..' he thought, he felt a pang on his chest as the two stared at each other longer.

"Armin your orders are here!" Yelled Sasha causing everyone to look at her as she clumsily set the tray on the table.

"O-oh t-thank you Sasha" Armin replied rubbing the back of his head. She gave him a thumbs up before patting his back a bit aggressively before returning to her duties.

He grabbed Annie drink and before a certain feline went to it, Annie stared at his actions chucking softly as he struggled to keep the cat tamed.

She pulled her hand away from him before sitting down the table as Armin place her drink infront of her with a bit of an aggression. She looks at his weirdly but brushed it off.

"Sir Gully?-" she was about to ask before his put his hand up signaling her to stop.
"Gulliver, my full first name is Gulliver. Gully is just my nickname" he explained and he leaned back crossing his arm before giving her a small wink.

"R-right? Gulliver, i was about to ask why you're working here"

Gulliver smiled softly before explaining.
"Well you see, i came from a wealthy family and most people say i have the best life ever.
But in truth my parent hardly gave me attention as i grew older" he said with a sorrowful gaze.

"I got more distant as a i got older- my father wasn't really that proud of me and challenged me to get s job snd earn my own money. So that's why I'm working here" he finished off, trying to lighten the mood up a bit.

"I'm sorry if i knew it was a difficult topic for you i shouldn't have asked" apologize Annie bowing her head in shame. Feeling guilty that she made him tlak about a sensitive topic in his life.

"No worries to be honest i like working here" he waved off, before getting off the chair snd walking away to the kitchens.

Before he got any further he threw a card at her, she caught ut with two fingers examining it before gasping softly.

"A-Armin? Where do you want- Armin?" She turned to her side and notice he wasn't there anymore. Did he bailed out on her?

She stood up quickly grabbing her drink before running up to the counter.

"Sasha! Have you seen Armin?" Annie ask, Sasha stared at her oddly before pointing her finger at the glass door.

"He went in there- oh bye!" She yelled as Anne rush pass her.

○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○

Annie's point of view:

Where is he?! Why did he suddenly left? Did i do something wrong? He could've atleast tell me where we was supposed to go.

Sasha pointed out the loddy, so i guess he went there.

I walked closer to the glass door trying to peek inside, and there he was sitting down the floor surrounded. His vest was scattered on the ground, the book he was reading was neatly closed right besides his drink.

"Armin? There you are.." his smile dropped a bit when he saw me walked in. I placed my hand on his shoulders as i sit down next to him.

"Oh i guess you finished talking" he growled under his breath, little did he know i heard him.

I sighed nudging him on side gently.
"Come on, don't tell me you're jealous of him?" I smuged smirk started to form in my face as he started to get embarrassed.

"I thought today was us hanging out. No Gulliver getting in the way" he pouted looking away from me.

I laughed wrapping my arms around him,
"Come on dont be such a bady, let's go" i said and i pulled him up.

"Fine fine, let's go"
