Perhaps Love

Chapter 3

The Cavern Pub

"Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you"

At counter, while listening to the band who's singing the song of The Carpenters 'Close to you' There's an image of a guy who just interrupt my mood on listening that beautiful music.

I look at the guy who's standing in front of me. It's none other than but Dylan Venza. My old friend he's also working here in the pub. But no one could ever imagine that he's working here. He's in the middle class, I don't know about this guy. Why he still needs to work here. When he can be the boss of their own company.

"Girl, you must know you're here to work. You're not a guest here." He chuckles.

I know he's teasing me again. He knows I loved music but the music doesn't loved me at all.

"Ha ha ha, Dylan for all I know you are only here just to stalk someone. Hmmmmp"

He cover my mouth. "Franny!" I smiled I got him hahaha. He's a half breed hahaha kidding I mean He's handsome but he likes handsome guys too. Especially the reason why he's working here. But not all people knows about him.

"Please shut your mouth." Hahaha, "My friend, your secret is safe with me."

He rolled his eyes, "Secret is safe your face. Hmmmp so what's the news? Your charming guy didn't come after that day, right?"

Oh yeah, he's talking about Sven. It's been almost 2 weeks since we didn't see him here. Before we officially met he's always here like 2 to 3 times a week with his friends. But these past few weeks only his friends are coming by.

Maybe he really hates to see Me.?

I'm wiping the glasses, when Dylan tap my shoulder. "Ooopps speaking of the handsome hunky devil."

I'm confused but I look where his eyes looking at. Oh there he goes, the one only Sven Somer with a lady?

"And he's not alone." He whispered because they're about to come on our counter. I shook his elbow. "Quiet Dy."

The lady smiled at me upon reaching the counter. "Hi, can we order 1 whisky neat and 1 margarita please." Dylan spoke, "Yes Ma'am, is there anything else?"

The lady tap Sven's shoulder because he wasn't looking at our side, which is I wondered why. Hmmmmm this I'm already regretting that I once had admired this guy. Hmmmmmp.

"Babe, is there anything else you want?" Sven looked at the lady, and there's something with the way he look at her. It's like the feeling is so deep. He smiled at her. A smile that every lady would dream of. "Nothing babe,"

Then he look at us. First to Dylan. "That would be all. Thank you." Then he turned he's gazed at me, "It's nice to see you again Ms. Francesca"

"Same here Mr. Sven" the lady look at me and Sven. "Francesca? You mean Hestia's sister?" She was asking Sven. He nodded "Yes"

She looked at me smiling and lend her hand, "Hi, I'm Maica. Sven's girlfriend and I've met your sister so many times." I accepted her hand.

"I'm Francesca. Nice to meet you Ma'am."

"Oh! Please don't call me Ma'am, Maica would be fine no need for formalities." She smiled brightly.

"She's working babe."

Dylan interrupted. "Will bring your order to your usual table Sir, your friends arrived already a while ago."

"Thank you Dy." He held Maica's hand, "Come babe, our friends waiting."

Maica's face is like in doubt or she don't know what she'll do. But then she look at me and smile again. "Oh, sorry. Maybe he's not on his friendliest mood today. It was really nice to meet you Francesca,hmmmm May I just call Fran? And please do call me Maica"

I smiled at her, "Of course Maica."

"Thank you, bye. See you later" Then she left. Before Sven followed her. He look at me and about to say something but then I guessed he change his mind and said nothing.

"What was that all about?" Dylan look at me with curiosity.

I shrugged my shoulder. "I don't know." At the same time I'm asking myself, why he is so cold to me when I didn't do anything wrong to him.

"Did you do something wrong with him?" seriously? This guy is asking me that question. I glared at him. "Oh please Dy! Don't you know me at all?"

"Honey, I'm just asking you. Because your guy is acting like he doesn't even want to look or talk to you. Is our job really not good on his perspective?"

I've told him what happened that day I met him with Hestia's boyfriend. The way he asked me with that simple question.

"I don't know. And please drop that 'your guy' word, he's not my guy, ok?"

"Well before you met him as the brother of your sister's boyfriend, he's your fantasy guy." He murmured.

"Dylan Venza? Are you saying something?" While I'm about to go out from the counter to serve their drinks.

"Nothing honey." He smiled.

"Honey your face!"
