"Lucky!" And now people know my name. Thanks Jenny...Thanks. I cracked a smile when she's standing in front of me. "Hey Lucky. What's hanging?" She asked, face full of smile.

"Do you really have to shout my name out loud, J?" I asked while wiping the counter. Jenny smiled.

"Hey. There's like only one or two people here in the cafe. Chill, dude." I shook my head at her.

"What do you want, J? I'm working." I questioned her, lazily.

I'm currently working at a small coffee shop called 'Cosy Coffee'. Just like Starbucks but its smaller and less popular so not much students from my school comes here. But what I like about the place is that it has a comfy atmosphere to it. And the best part is that there's not many customers come here so it's more like chilling than working. My boss is great too. Her name's Cindy. One day, while I was inside the coffee shop and was finding job vacancies in the newspaper, she came up to me with my coffee and immediately offer me a job. The perfect timing I must say.

"I'm bored." She said while leaning on the counter.

"Too bad, I'm working." I said, matter-of-fact. She was quiet for a while.

"So... How was the walk home with Mr Hazel eyes?" A smile creeping up her face. I blushed deeply and just continue wiping the counter.

Zayn kept his promise in walking me home today. And I do not know why but he was being more of a gentleman with me by offering to carry my bag and treating me to a tub of Ben and Jerry's ice-cream. We walked all the way while passing each other the ice-cream. Halfway when the ice-cream started to melt, he dipped his finger into it and lightly slapped it on my cheek. Soon after, we had a mini ice-cream fight.

Went home feeling sticky but it was fun. My train of thoughts was cut off by a light slap on my face. I snapped and turn my eyes towards Jenny.

"You have that smiley on your face-y." She pointed out, making me blushed deeper and brush her off.

"Shut up..." I quickly told her my walk home with Zayn and along my story, Jenny was filled with 'Awws'.

"Damn. If that Sally wasn't in the picture, I would be happily kicked some sense into that guy and get together with you!" I just shook my head and re-arrange the jars on the counter.

"Ding." The bells of the front door ding, indicating arrival of customers.

"Hey." I look up and my eyes widened a little.

"Hey, Zayn... And Sally." There, right in front of me. Zayn and Sally. She has her hands wrapped around his arm and her head rested on his shoulder. The perfect couple look

"Hey, Lucky.” Zayn returned my greeting. “I will like a double chocolate frap with a slice of that delicious chocolate cake. How about you, babe?" He turned to look at her, eyes filled with adoration. I wish Zayn will call me 'babe' and look at me that way.

"Hmm... I want the caramel frap with a slice of the blueberry cheesecake, please." With a wide smile, she pointed her order. I returned her smile and nodded.

"Okay, you guys, just take a seat and your order will be right up." Both of them took their seats. I started making their order but not before seeing Zayn pulling out a chair for Sally to sit down. Always a gentleman. Sigh...

Jenny came up to me while I was making Zayn's drink.

"So..." She dragged her word.

"Not another word, J." I interrupted her and start making the drinks and didn't even realise that I was banging the ingredients down until I felt Jenny's hands stopping me.
