It's been 5 days that all that I have been doing was working on the new project that was due on Tuesday next week...

And it's been 5 days that I kept on taking secret photos of, still, Mystery Boy. Oddly enough, I am surprised of his newly died red hair that would be the first thing you would see in the crowd. 

Right now, I have collected 21 pictures that I can send to Jimmy. I am sitting casually on the booth were I can outlook him, gazing outside. 

 He was sitting there, drinking his coffee, as he clasp his hands around the to-go cup. I positioned the camera parallel to him, getting the right angle, and finally pressing the capture button. I have to do it discreetly so that he won't be able to notice it. I bit my lip as I picked up the camera from its position from the table. I looked at the picture and smiled, it was fascinating.

 He was imperfectly perfect.I looked up from my camera to see his emerald orbs staring right at me, with a small smile tugging on his lips. My eyes widen and I immediately leveled down my eyes. I started to take other pictures from the view outside of the coffee shop, taking pictures of the cityscape, to avoid the awkward scenario.Then I feel a warm presence beside me... I looked up to see him, towering over me.

"Hi. My name's Michael." he chimed as he gave me a heart-melting smile. 

I didn't know how to respond. It feels like I don't know how to talk. I opened my mouth to speak, 

"I, um... M-my name is Ronnie." I smiled sheepishly. 

"Well, hello, Ronnie. It's nice to know your name." He had an accent that screams foreign and a demeanor of dominance. Yet, he still seems very orphic.

He smirked at me, "So, mind if I take a seat?" 

"Nope," I said, "Not at all." He scooted to the seat across from me and chuckled as he tousled his hair.

I swear to heavens, my heart dropped and I almost gaped at him. 

I cleared my throat and bit my lip. "So, uh... do you need anything?"

"Yeah, actually. I need company." he smiled.

"Oh, um. Are you sure?"

"What do you mean?" He tilted his head sidewards as he furrowed his eyebrows cutely.

I chuckled, "I just don't think I'm the perfect company for a perfect stranger." 

"Hah," he released. "Don't be like that, I won't come to you if I didn't think you were cool." 

"Really?"

"Really." 

I blushed and smiled, looking down at my Canon once more.

"You're a photographer?" he asked, motioning to my camera. 

"Yup, that's what I do but I also have other jobs... and I also go to College." I realized that I was rambling and he didn't really needed that information.

"Sorry, I can really be annoying sometimes." I laughed. He smiled at me.

"It's okay. I find it cute."

My eyes widened and I literally blushed. He gestured towards my camera and spoke,

"Can I see your pictures?"

Before I could even think, I handed him my DSLR and he navigated everything properly. Just then, I realized... he has a ton of shots there.

"Wait, wait! I--" too late.
