An Anonymous Letter ( A Death Note? )

The Ride (edit done)

Kate POV

I peeled my eyes open and when I began to scatter my visions around, I was still inside the cab with this cute driver guy. I thought I  finally arrived at my boyfriend's apartment. I felt terrified to find out that all of it was only a daydream.

"I'm glad you're awake, ma'am. You doze off for five minutes!" the driver told me while his eyes are focusing on the road.

I quickly realize I fall asleep during the ride. Maybe I got tired from last night after preparing my baggage for my first trip to Hong Kong. I woke up so early and it's my first time again being an early bird because Dave's place was located in the next town.

"I've been out for five minutes? I'm so sorry to bother you" I shyly asked him.

He peaks a glance in seconds and his eyes switch back to the stirring wheel.

" Oh, it's okay ma'am. I don't mix personal with my passenger. You can go back to sleep, I'll tell you once we arrived!" He told me. 

I just shrugged after that. Another quiet moment again.
I feel uneasy with the silence.
I suddenly open my mouth and start to make words.

"Uhm, may I ask you questions if it's okay?" I said while looking at him in the rearview mirror.

The guy slightly turns his head to face her.

"Sure, ma'am. What is it?" then he continues his focus on his driving again.

Kate cleared her throat first and said.

"Why your taxi doesn't have a plate number? Are you new here?" She asked him with courage.

He made one blink before answering Kate.

"Oh, I'm so sorry about that. I got this work just yesterday and the owner said that the plate number is under registration" He answered nicely.

His smile always made her feel uneasy. Kate doesn't know why she had this strange feeling since she got inside this cab.
She nodded my head and she didn't ask him a question again.

Silence filled the cab again.
Kate sometimes watches the front mirror and she notices that he is always stealing glances at her.
She felt weird but happy at the same time because the driver is so fucking hot and she can tell that they were the same age because of his baby-face look.
She wanted to slap her face right now because she's meeting her boyfriend in a minute and she's giggling for another man besides her.

I remember the day we met when I was sitting alone in the coffee shop when a handsome guy sat in front of me.

Flashback

"Hi, pretty girl. Can I join you?" Dave asked Kate who was having a mocha latte in the newly open restaurant.

She's too lazy to look up so she just nods her head to the stranger guy.

"Thanks. I'm Dave." He saw his hands waiting for a handshake.

Kate was broken-hearted from her recent job interview because she didn't pass the final part. She sighs and shifted her eyes to the man's face and she had no idea that a good-looking guy who looks like Leonardo De Carpio is the one she's talking to. She swallowed her saliva and drink her latte several times.

"Hi! I'm Kate. Welcome!" she instantly answered him.

Who would be happy to have a cute company? That day they talk about their lives and have fun with each other until Dave took her mobile number. Everything happened so fast. They exchange messages after their meeting until they fall in love with each other.

"Are you ready?" Dave called her in the line.

He was talking about their first-anniversary vacation.

"Sure, let's enjoy our day babe!"  She said and bid goodbye on the phone.

Dave is a sweet and lovable guy that's why Kate easily fell for him. Even her friend Chloe was against their relationship because she knew him. They have been together after two months of texts exchanging.

"I don't trust him, Kate! Yes, he's cute and funny but you don't even know his family background do you?" Chloe asked her best friend while she made a surprise visit to Kate.

Kate took a deep and rolled her eyes at Chloe. She's not happy about her best friend's opinion about her boyfriend Dave.

"Chloe, it's not that I choose him over you but try to know him more okay" she mumbled.

End of Flashback

----------

Kate filled with her memories about Dave that she didn't notice that they just arrived at his place.

"We're here, ma'am" the guy informed her and started to parked the cab.

After hearing it Kate pays him and takes off but before she closes the taxi door, the guy holds it and asks her name which made her surprised. He looks too shy to look at her.

"Im Kate Miller and you?" She answered with a smile on her face.

"I'm James Fox. 'Till we meet again miss Miller!" his cute dimples again appeared on his both cheeks after he set a lovely smile on his face.

They shake hands and said goodbyes to each other as friends. Little did she know, Dave was staring at them from his tainted window with an angry look at his face.

"How dare she mingle with a cab driver when she's meeting her boyfriend!" He whispered at himself.

He clenched his fist and slowly walked at the main door to welcome his girlfriend Kate.

Kate PoV

I wonder why he asked my name at the last moment. It's weird though but it's not bad to gain new friend again and besides her time is almost up here in their town.

In a minute, she's going to book a ticket for her first even flight to Hong Kong. Right now, she'll going to tell Dave about her final decision. Whether he stop her or not, her decision is fixed even she had to let him go. This is her dream for how many years of her existence in this world and opportunities knocks only once so she had to grab it while she's young and free.

Marriage is not important for her because her mindset is all about her dreams.

"Hong Kong, wait for me in a bit!" She excitedly mumbled but she had no idea how Dave hated her.
