The following day was a Saturday. Every time I wake up on this day, Scarlet and I go on a morning walk and do cafe-hopping. We discuss stuff, drink coffee, and exercise our body to be fit.

I out my hair up on a messy bun, throw on my tank top, jacket, and leggings, and hit the road. Today, Scarlet decided for us to meet at the bakery shop today. I got curious; why is she into pastries now? How about our cafe-hopping?

I arrive the bakery shop at exactly 6:03 AM and saw her at the table beside the entrance. The table was for two, like it was made for the both of us.

"Hey." I say, sitting down across her.

"Good morning." greeted Scarlet. I greet her back. "So, what do you want to order?"

I face the counter and above it is the menu. They are like little chalkboards, with words and pictures scribbled on it. I run my eyes through the colorful writings, and one caught my attention.

"I can go with the Blueberry muffin." I said. She nodded and informed, "Well, I want a slice of the Mocha Crepe Cake. It's one of their bestsellers. And coffee."

As she stood up to order, I handed her my money but she refused. "No, Miracle It's okay. It'll be my treat for today."

She joined the line by the counter and I waited. I stared out the window beside us and my view is great. Cars passing by, people walking down the streets, more cafe stored ahead of us, the sunrise. Such a wonderful sight. I'm grateful.

I try to recall the things I dreamed last night. I don't seem to remember, but the dream from my afternoon nap was the only thing that my mind responses. Questions also fill up my mind: What does my dream mean? Does it give me a sign? Or is it telling me something? Or it's just a dream, nothing more, nothing less? It gave me shivers.

"Here you go, Stone." she placed my meal in front of me. I thanked her. She replies, "Nah, don't worry."

We ate our breakfast and talk about stuff.

"So, any activities you gonna do this day?" she asked, taking a sip from her coffee.

I start to think. What will I do this day? Hm, maybe I'll go out do my groceries, pay my rent, and, oh yeah. I need to visit 0482 today. But I can't tell her. She'll screw me if she knew about my plan.

"Well, I can go do my groceries later. Wanna join me?" I replied. I'm really gonna do my groceries today.

"Sorry, but I can't."

"Why? It'll just take a matter of time."

"No, it's just that..." she stopped. She's blushing.

"What? What 'just that'?" I curiously asked.

Biting her lower lip she said, "I-I've got a date."

Shit. I was about to choke this muffin I was eating. "You? Date? Oh my God! With whom?"

"Shh. Tone your voice down." she reminded, bowing her head down. I looked around and saw few faces looking at us. Oops, I forgot to control my voice.

"Then, who?" I whispered.

"E-Evan."

"Evan? As in, John Trevan Willow? Our co-member?" I surprisingly asked. I'm just making sure! God, why didn't I noticed?

"Yes." Scarlet shyly nodded.

"So, when did he asked you out?"

Drawing her hair behind her ear, she replied, "Two days ago. We'll be going out later. 5 pm. At a fancy restaurant."
