I know its weird and I know I was supposed to be really angry and lazy right now but from the moment I came back home from the coffee house I beamed.

Why did this totally ordinary girl, (this really hot ordinary girl), make my heart beat so fast? There's something about her that I just don't know how to express good enough in words. I turn to aunt Rosie and press my lips to the top of her head when I find her sleeping with her head on the brown wooden table. She must be so tired...sigh... I don't know how to comfort her and its killing me cause I don't even know how to comfort myself. I don't think its possible right now either. Igo to the kitchen and start looking for something I know was never a thing I thought I would look for in my entire unknown future. A cooking book. Yep.

I think about what Austen said, that I will have to show my coffee making abilities tomorrow and it makes my stupid heart beat even faster. What is wrong with me? I mean, yeah, when my parents passed away I thought nothing will ever make me excited anymore but I wasn't expecting this thought to vanish so soon. So freaking soon. What was I thinking ? That I can just let my mind busy itself with the thought about a cute girl and everything will just fall into place and I will feel better?! I think at this rate I was trying to convince myself to go back to feeling blank and weak but suddenly, something hammed in my pant's pocket and I draw my cellphone out. There was a text message from Austen

Austen: 'HEY PRETTY BOY, BE HERE TOMORROW 6:00 AM, IF YOURE LATE YOU CAN KISS THIS JOB GOODBYE"

I found myself smiling like an idiot and in the next moment I open the cooking book and start learning as much as I can before my eyelids get heavy and I just throw the book on the table , totally forgetting about aunt Rosie who was sound asleep right there.

"Ch..en"? She's whiping her eyes from the sleeping cores and looks at me with a sleepy but curious expression "What are you doing here? I thought you went to school" she claimed and I just shrugged and sat in the nearest chair.

"Sorry for waking you up" I say quietly and she's laughing like what I said was somehow funny to her. Like it was obvious that right now I was supposed to do that.

"How are you feeling"? she whispers and now its my turn to laugh

"Mmm, lets see. My parents just died so...could be better you know..
