CHAPTER TWO

SELENA'S POV

   "Enjoy", I beamed at the customer. He got the cup from me, his fingers brushing against mine slightly.

Irritated shiver

   "Are the straws free?", he asked as he pointed at the stack of straws next to the cash register.

   "Yes", I nodded.

   "Are numbers also free?", he winked at me coyly.

This idiot.
I held myself from giving him a very big eye roll.

   "I'm sorry I don't understand", I smiled.

Maybe if I acted oblivious, he could leave me alone.

   "Just wanted to know if you had plans this night"

Nope, never lucky.

Should I use the savage card.

Nah, he's not worth it; mentally looking him from head to toe; well..... abdomen, sensing he's on a stool.

   "I have plans"

Plans of snuggling on my bed while binge watching episodes of Tale of the Nine Tailed, Lee Dong Wook really knows how to hit the eye.

   "That's a shame, really hope I could spare some of my time for a pretty girl like you", he laughed at his attempt of a joke.

   "Heh..heh", I chuckled awkwardly with him giving him a weird smile.

Now, get out.

   "Maybe next time?", he asked.

I laughed even harder this time before giving him a straight faced 'no'.

He was shooketh, sorry shocked, maybe not used to being turned down.

Pity

I flashed one of my beautiful smiles again before saying, "Thank you for stopping by at Nico's Cafe, come back again....."

Never come back again.

   "And have a great day "

I can't be bothered.

He winked at me as he strolled out of the café leaving my smile to fade into a scowl of disgust.

That's the eleventh guy in three days, probably even more, but hey.. who's counting.

I glanced at the clock and cursed, realizing that that that weirdo had eaten into six minutes of my lunch break.

A solid six minutes!!

What?.... I like to savour my meals.

I headed into the employee locker room after telling a colleague to take the next shift.
Grabbing my bag from my locker, I opened it and removed a half eaten bag of potato chips and a small flask of mom's soothing camomile tea.

I know right.... Who drinks camomile tea with potato chips.

Potato DNA, I'm I right.

I need a life.

I took a sip of my tea and stuffed a few chips in my mouth when my phone rang earning me a frustrated sigh.

I removed my phone from my pocket and looked at the Caller ID, unknown number.

I swear, if it's one of those guys.......

   "Yeoboseyo?", I held myself from snickering. This is one of the times I wondered if I was built different, how I would turn out.
