He asked me the meaning of my name. " Feyray means, radiance of the moon in Turkish" I said. "You know what Caelus means!?" He asked. I didn't, so I just shook my head. And he said, " In Roman mythology it means the god of the sky" " You and me Fe...
The next morning I didn't feel like putting effort into what to wear so I just grabbed a pair of black ripped jeans and a faded black t-shirt. I put my hair in a messy bun, applied nude pink lipstick, and put my chunks on.

I came in late so it was fairly crowded with readers, coffee lovers, and writers. Most of the people were regular so I greeted some and went to the counter. Lily came over to me " You have a visitor. He's been waiting for you for half an hour." she said. I stared at her confused " Who's been wai..." I didn't get to finish my sentence." Hey " I looked back and Caelus was standing there in his perfectly pressed suit. " Can we talk for a bit?" he asked. I asked Lily if she could watch the counter for me, and led Caelus in the back of the cafe. We took our sits opposite either " Thank you for yesterday. I'm sorry I left without saying it yesterday." I just blubbed. He chuckled " You don't have to thank me. In fact, I am sorry you had to go through that. I made sure Kai knew about what happened and the guy is banned from the club." I was taken back a bit " What? Why? You didn't have to do that. Who's Kai?" I showered him with questions. He chuckled and I liked the sound of it. " Well, Kai is my best friend and Moon Light, the club you went to is his. So I couldn't not tell him not to let assholes enter his club and harass women." " Wow, okay. Well, still you barely know me and still helped it meant a lot to me, thank you." I told him. He checked his watch " I have to go, I just wanted to check on you and see if you were okay as you just left last night." I felt my cheeks get warm " Yeah sorry about that. I was so embarrassed I just didn't want to be around anyone." " It's totally fine, I get it. I am glad you're alright. So I'll see you around. Take care." he said as he stood up. " You too " I whispered as he left.
It's been about two weeks since Caelus came to talk to me about what had happened at Moon Light and in these fourteen days he came to my cafe every day. He would get a coffee or two and chitchat with either me or Lily. Lily being Lily was more than happy to see him come by to talk to me and made sure to drop the information about me being single. Today was the same he came ordered his usual cappuccino and sat at a table close to the cashier so he could see me. He finished his coffee and I was getting ready to say goodbye to him for the day but he didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave yet. So, I asked him what was up. " So I had something to ask you." " Sure. What is it?" For such a big and confident-looking guy he sure looked nervous for some reason. " Okay, so here's the thing. I was wondering if you would like to go out with me tomorrow. For dinner." I was a little dumbfounded for a few seconds. Because I was not expecting that at all. I mean I guessed the guy liked me or why else would he come by every day since we met? Okay not exactly since we met but you know what I mean. Secondly, I couldn't look any more homeless than I was looking at the moment. " So...." I was so in my head that I forgot I hadn't said anything to him yet. "Oh yeah. I guess. I mean sure?" It sounded more like a question than an answer. " Are you saying yes to me or are you asking me" he chuckled. So I quickly right myself, " No I mean Yes. I mean yes I would like to go out. Tomorrow. With you" Ugh why was I blabbering like that? I seemed to amuse him as he chuckled again. " Okay great. Now that is out of the way If you give me your number I could text you the time and it would be easier for me to pick you up" I gave him my number and he called me immediately so I also had his number. " See you tomorrow Feray," I said my farewell as well and he was out of the door.
