Meeting is the beginning of parting

"Can I seat here with you?" I looked up to see a young man smiling at me. His looks fascinated me at first with his sharp nose, thin but lush lips, and long and thick eyelashes – he is indeed gorgeous, like the typical boy next door character, though his skin is quite fair. And he's tall too.
But I wondered if he really was smiling inside too.
Before I could answer he went ahead and sat across me.
I placed down the book I was reading and looked around the café. It was still early in the morning so it wasn't packed. There were only two groups of people who were in the café, a couple who looks like they'd need a room in any minute, and a woman who is busy typing away in her laptop.
"Well, you see. I'm new to this café and I wanted some advice on their food. I kind of figured you were a regular here," he said.
"Ahh, you could say that. But if I were you, I'd ask the waiter about that stuff, they know more than I do," I answered.
"Well, I was also looking for company anyway since I didn't want to eat alone. And I didn't want to disturb the lovebirds, or the old lady. She looked busy."
My brows arched at what he said. Well, I also didn't want to be disturbed. But I also didn't want to be rude.
"Oh," was all I could mutter.

When I returned to my reading, I heard him chuckle as he tried to cover his laughter.
"Did I say something wrong?" I asked. But he laughed harder. And I didn't know why.
I only suggested something, didn't I?
"Ahh, sorry," he said as he tried to stop himself from laughing again. Then, he completely stopped and smiled at me. I also smiled, uncertain what was going on.
"You know," he whispered as he drew her face closer. I raised my eyebrow to listen but when his hand shot out of nowhere and captured mine; I also tried to draw back. But he held my hand fast.
"You're interesting," he said. All I could do was to stare at him.
