"I'm not interested in him, Madison" I told her. She is keep planning to fix me with boys. She think that i'm not interested in love. "Please Madison, Let that to be the last one. I'm not going to listen to you anymore regarding this matter. Take care of Austin and bye", I put the phone down even before she say good bye. Its not that i'm not interested in guys or love.

Madison, my sister and also my best friend;she knows everything about me and I feel free to discuss things with her rather than others. She is the one told me to follow what the heart says. Even my parents don't agree with me in stop schooling but she supported me. But for now owning a café is being my only dream. A café filled with arts, beautiful portraits and the smell of caffeine. That will be perfect to start a morning. A fresh start is what everybody need in their life.
As usual I was driving to "Ruby's Coffee", somebody hit my scooter from behind. I turned and saw that a stupid black car almost hit a small girl. My blood shot up seeing it. I helped the girl up and walked straight up to the driver. He was probably in his forties. He kept on apologizing after few seconds, i heard a voice saying "JUST DRIVE".

How rude!!!
And that moment I lost my temper totally. He did not even bother to check what happen or open the rear window.

Stupid, arrogant, busted boss. I knocked his goddamn rear window of the SUV. He slided down the window; I showed him my middle finger. I did not even bother to look at his horrible face.

That really ruined my mood. But after entering Ruby I forget about what happened just now. I wore my uniform and got ready to start my shift. Our regular customer, Mr.Terry came in with his friends. I saw some new friends. He is one of my favourite customer because he always thank us for serving him, a quality that lacking in many people. I went towards him with my iPad to take his order and a big smile on my face. While I was taking their order. The papers on the table was in disorder. I immediately arrange the papers using my right hand while holding the iPad in the left hand.

Suddenly I felt somebody touching my hand. It felt warm and got shock by the action by a complete stranger. I looked up at his face, he was still holding my hands. Omg! i looked straight into his eyes. I never ever seen such pretty eyes before. His eyes were kind of additive that I cannot look away. He has perfect eyebrow that beautifully display his shape of eye. He dropped my hand and I immediately cut the eye contact with him. Everyone around the table including Mr. Terry shocked. I was clueless. I excused myself from there and jogged to the counter. I started to make coffee they ordered. There were moments I found myself peeking at that handsome over the counter. Every time I peeked at him, he kept looking at me. I wondered what make him to do such a dare move and stare at me.

After I prepared the ordered coffees, I told Juniel to serve them. I could not stop peeking at him so I went back to store room. I was shivering; I am not scared but kind of uneasy. I could not calm down myself. I went to washroom and saw my reflection on mirror. My cheeks were red as chili. Why the hell am I blushing and shivering? This is ridiculous. I stepped out of the washroom and walked back to storeroom. And I could not believe my eyes. He was right in front of me. Why is he here? His eyes lighten up once he saw me.

"Hey" he started.

I just nodded with a smile.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

I work here; I may do anything. The question is what YOU doing here...??? "To get some rest" I told, trying my best to sound casual.

"But we were your first customers. You get tired just serving or specifically taking few orders?"

Oh goodness! Why am I this nervous in front of a stranger? I could only hear my heart beats not his words. I'm not thinking straight. Calm down, Chelsea. Calm down...
