Oh! Is that a smile I just saw? Maybe she is not completely disgusted by me. Tash...Tasha... not Natasha? Hmm...cute. Her way too oversized jacket is swaying in the slight wind but it's also blowing the hair out of her face. Pretty. Let me ask her if she will have coffee with me...Am I pushing too much? Only one way to find out.

"Can I buy you a coffee?" I ask.

"No thanks" she replies matter of factly.

"Is it because you don't drink coffee or are you refusing me?" I reply, trying to keep up with her.

"How -?" she said looking at me quizzically.

I really should not tell her that I also had what she had yesterday. Caramel latte, was it?

"Both" she said looking at me decisively.

"Ouch!" I reply.

And she shrugs her shoulders as if flexing her refusal in my face. Heh! What a brat!

I stand behind her in the line. She turns to look at me from time to time furrowing her brows. She goes up to the counter and places her order. It's my turn. I'll get the same as yesterday.

"I'll have the same thing she ordered." I say to the cashier who smiles at me.

As I take out my wallet to pay the cashier says to me, "It's okay she already paid for whatever you're having."

???! I - ?? I wanted to pay for her? What?

"Ok." That is all I can say as my eyes shoot down the counter to look for her but she is not there..? Where did she go that quickly? I can't leave to find her. She paid for me. I want to see what is it she ordered today. My feet involuntarily start tapping on the floor as I wait to collect my surprise order butttt they are taking quite long. How come she got hers that quickly?

Finally! I grab the order and rush out the shop hoping she hasn't gone that far

Finally! I grab the order and rush out the shop hoping she hasn't gone that far. I don't see her.

"That latte and muffin is my offer to you to leave me alone."

I turn around and find her behind me.

"What kind of muffin?" I ask her shamelessly.

Her brows arch at me and she scoffs out, "Blueberry"

"I prefer chocolate in my muffins so no deal" I say as I watch her arched brows turn into furrowed brows.

Cute.

"You are insane." she says and walks away.

I wanna catch up to her but I also wanna stay behind her and watch her walk away from me. Especially with that attitude. The way her hips sway naturally as she walks. Even in those huge sweatpants I can make out the silhouette of her body.

He matches her pace and finally catches up to her.
