Aunt Cass Sweet Love Story ❤️

Chapter 5

"Ughh! So heavy. I wish i was younger. Not that im old, it's just im- whatever" Cass murmur upon herself after she's done unloading the café's grocery stuff.

She stretching her back after an exhaustive unloading work. Then one voice greets her. "Hey Cass" with a friendly deep tone.

Cass look at him and greets him back. "Hi Mr. Lennox! What are you doing here? The cafe's close today. Tomorrow's open".

"Oh is that right? I thought you close the cafe on Sunday. Usually cafes close at that day".

"That's why i open on Sunday. More customers will come to the Lucky Cat Cafe. That is some genius strategy, you know" said Cass proudly of herself.

"Wow. You're really a true businesswoman. I'm quite impressed" he said with the outmost sincere of his heart content.

"So, the café's closed. What are you planning to do now?" Ask her.

"I don't know. I'm actually already done with my work. So i was planning to relax a bit today, but shame the café's closed. Guess I'll just head back to my home" said Lennox.

"I am truly sorry for this, Mr Lennox. I'll pay back tomorrow. A hot latte with heavy cream and something special. What you say?" said Cass with a little guilt in her voice.

"No no please don't. It's not big of a deal. My mistake cause i don't ask you first".

"Please, i insist. I wouldn't sleep at night if you refuse. Please Mr Lennox" plead Cass with her cute face.

Lennox sigh. He knows that he'll have to give in some how. "Alright. I'll take it. After that, we're even okay?". "Roger that!" Replies her enthusiasticly.

He smiles at her and turn around to walk towards his home. Cass just smiles back at him. But something in her heart felt something. Something heavy. Maybe guilt because she watch him walking towards his home knowing she can send him using her truck.

"Wait! Mr Lennox! I can give you a ride!" She calls him loudly. He turn around and replies, "it's okay Cass. I'm used to walking to my home. It's not that far".

Then he hears a pickup truck's engine start and drove towards him. "I insist." She opens the door for him making sure he get in no matter what. Lennox just shakes his head.

In the truck

"So, were do you live Mr Lennox?" Ask Cass. "Please. Just call Lennox. I live in the Yui Takahara St, Sec 13.". "Wait. It's just 3 blocks from here. You're not lying when you said you live near here. I thought you live 15 miles away from here". "I told ya"

Not even 5 minutes, they reach his home. They stop at a large business office lot. There's a big office and above him is semi-luxury apartment with a lot of windows. Cass is suprised to see the quite nice looking business lot.

"Wow! That apartment looks expensive. What did you do exactly Lennox?" Now that Cass has seen his office, he can't hide it anymore.

"I do a business that offers security guards, martial arts class, protection services to people. When you see a nightclub bouncers, they must be from an agency. I am one of them".

Cass is still in awe hearing his job. "But you said you was a police offi- oh right. Ex- police. Sorry". "No worries. After i quit police, i started my business. At first it was difficult but slowly i begin to progress as to what i have right now. I originally started the business in New Hiroshima, but i move here for the better business" explain Lennox.

Cass is nodding, impressed with Lennox's explaination about his business. She like to hear someone telling her about their passion for something. She definitely can relate alot to their stories. And she notice one thing of him. He usually very quiet and not talkative to everyone even to her. But when he's talking about his business, he just like transform into another person. She smiles that she got to see his other side that rare for everybody to witness.

Lennox realised that he talk to much, snap himself out of it. " Sorry if i bored you with my stories. I just can't help it".

"What? Bored me? I enjoy it. We are the same you know. We love to talk about our passion. There's nothing wrong with that".

"I better get going. Thanks for the ride". " No problem. And don't forget. Tomorrow I'll treat you something special." Lennox just nod at her and enters his apartment.

Cass just drove away from his apartment with a big smile with full of thoughts about what to prepare him something special.
