Yours Truly, Second Heartbeat

4 The first time

Rylen:

I turn over my shoulder, my eyes focus on the table not far from the counter. A woman from behind called the man. She smiles to display her dimples, she pushes her wavy brunette hair back, baring her shoulders.

"Yes, you dear. Come over here." She calls him closer, just by waving her hand. The man stands and approaches her, looking all proud by the way he's walking victoriously.

The way she says something makes him lean over even closer. I swear I just see she is rolling her eyes, which makes me smile. This is interesting. I turn completely and lean back to the counter, arms cross over my chest.

"Are you two friends?"

"Ow...is she your girlfriend, then?"

"Answer me. Do you like her?" Her voice is clear.

"Err-No." He leans down. Her head falls to the side, checking him up and down.

"Do you want to sleep with her?"

What? I was surprised by her question, imagine the man's feelings. He looks back before saying something back.

"He wants to sleep with you. Girl, do you want to sleep with him?"

"No. I-I don't." The other woman stutters.

"What are you doing?" His tone raises until I can hear his voice.

"I'm making it easy for you, boy." She leaned back on her chair, looking straight at him. "You seem to have problems communicating with a human being and I'm just trying to help you."

Damn. I would love to see the man's face right now.

"Since you still cannot comprehend her, despite she trying to turn you down politely, maybe I could lend you help. You want to sleep her, well I respect your opinion. But she doesn't want to sleep with you, now you need to respect her decision too. Problem solved." She adds.

I chuckle lightly, still can't drift my eyes off her.

With little laughter from the surroundings, the man became more furious, "What the hell are you doing?"

I would pay to see his face. When she leans closer and whispers something to him, I spontaneously lean over as if I can hear them. God, I wish I could.

She's leaning back, crossing her legs, "And you were distracting me from my desserts. If you don't want more embarrassing moments, I suggest you get back to your friends, boy."

Damn. That's attractive as fuck.

"Go on, move along." She smirks while saying it, and she shakes her hand as if she removes dust in the air. The man glances at the surroundings before he walks away and gets out of the Study Cafe.

"Damn. That was hot." Leana says from behind me, and our eyes meet. Yes, hot indeed. I don't even try to deny her claim. "If I am a man, that type of woman definitely makes me kneel. Even as a woman, I find her attractive and beautiful." She adds, admiring that woman over there in her tone, Leana still looks over at her.

"Maybe she is the freshman year, I have never seen her before." She returns back to her drawer before asking me, "What else can I get you, Rylen?" She asks but I just shake my head and smile.

I can't help but look back towards her direction.

She is smiling after she sips her drink. Then, she slicks her hair into her palm, comb them between her fingers and tie it into a ponytail. Her eyes flickering in the ray of sunlight, her face lit up. When she finally takes a bite of the cake, her whole body moves excitedly and she takes another bite. Her head falls back, savouring the taste.
