Love Beyond Sight: Lily and Lee Cafe Connection

Chapter 3 The Past

Next Day

After arriving at the cafe, he was already sitting at his favorite spot, and as always, my heart couldn't stop beating every time I saw him.

Lily: Hi Lee, do you want your usual?

Lee: Yes.

The cafe is filled with the fragrant aroma of freshly brewed coffee. After doing Lee's usual order, I sat down and shared a table with Lee. Suddenly, I saw my brother appear, with frustration in his face.

Izeke: Why are you with him again lily?

Lily: I appreciate your concern, but I'm capable of making my own decisions brother.

Lee: Why are you being so overprotective of her?

Izeke: "I just want what's best for my sister. I've seen her hurt before, and I don't want her to get hurt again.

"Lily: Thank you, brother, for always worrying about me. I'm not naive like I was in the past.

Lee: I don't know what happened to Lily in the past, but I can promise that I will treat her as best as I can because I'm her friend.

Izeke: Izeke: Friend? I see. "I guess I have to trust you both. Even if you guys are friends, you better not hurt my sister. You understand, and Lily, just promise me you'll be careful.

Lily: Thank you, brother.

Alright, I'll step back for now. I'm still watching you guys, especially you, whatever your name is, boy. Just know that I'm only doing this because I love you, Lily.

Lily: I know after my brother left, Lee suddenly asked.

Lee: My name is Lee, Mr. Izeke.

Izeke: Okay, Lee, you better not do stupid things to my sister.

After Izeke left, Lee smiled at me and asked a question.

Lee: So what happened in the past that got your brother so overprotective?

I talked to Lee about what happened to me in the past. I was very naive, so I was easily pushed over by people, and I was abused by my ex-boyfriend, and my brother was there to always help me out.

Lee: I see; that's why your brother is always worried. I'm sorry to hear that. I promise I can treat you, but I will treat you better.

My face has turned red, and my heart is beating.Fast again.

Lily: Thank you.

Lee. Enough about my last. How about yours? What happened to you? How did you become blind?

Lee: Well lily It's a very long story.

Lily: Of course, as a friend of Lee, I'm always ready to listen, even if it's a long story. That's what our friends are for: helping each other out.

Lee also started sharing his past, including how he turned blind and why he is not with his parents anymore. We talked for hours and hours as my friend Deo covered for my shift.

The moon and stars are getting brighter as love is in the air.
