Yan Tong:

"Tong Tong, let's go to the cafe today for our date!" My cute and ignorant boyfriend tugged the rims of my skirt like a five year old and hooking his arm with mine.

"Okay, Yuan Yuan!" I replied, calling his nickname, making our way to the town's most popular cafe, Aroma Mocha, famous for it's family mocha recipe. The mocha was soo delicious that you just have to order another mega cup.

Yan Tong and Wang Yuan found a seat for two outside the Aroma Mocha and settled in their silver delicate chairs.

"Now, Tong Tong, what would you like to have?" Wang Yuan asked for my opinion while his eyes were fixed on the menu.

"The beverage that brought us together," I grinned.

"You just love that story don't you?" Adorable Wang Yuan pinched my cheeks.

Flashback:

Glancing at my wristwatch, I weaved through the usual Monday lunch crowd with 'excuse me's. There was a special promotion for the first fifty customers who reach Aroma Mocha first and there's no way I am going to lose out.

Mocha was my absolute all time favourite drinks after a busy Monday in school.

Just looking at the description on the menu made me want to have a second go the first time I visited the cafe.

~Combining our rich, full-bodied espresso with bittersweet mocha sauce and steamed milk, then top it off with sweetened whipped cream. The classic coffee drink to satisfy your sweet tooth~

"I would like to have a cup of mocha, extra teaspoons of sugar and sprinkles on top!" Two voices chirped at the same time.

"I'm sorry, which one of you is here first?" the cashier asked me and the stranger next to me.

"I was here first!" I stood up for myself.

"No, don't listen to her! She don't even need any mocha right now. Extra sugar and more sprinkles, she will get obese easily. Give me the mocha instead!" the rude teenager barged.

"There is only one cup left and both of you are in line for the 50th customer," the cashier explained.

"I'll take that! No need change!" he eagerly snatched the cup away from the cashier who was left jaw-hanged open with the money in her hands.

I stomped my feet, frustrated that I lost out with a guy like him.

Sadly, I could only walk home in order to save up my weekly allowance for another cup.

As I turned the corner to my house, a familiar body caught my sight. I squinted my eyes and guess who I saw.

Immediately, I charged right to him with my speedy long legs. Caught by surprise, he whipped his head around and I clumsily banged into him and both of us fell on our butts. But the mocha, unfortunately, was spilled over the cemented ground.

"Look! It's all your fault! Now both of us can't have the mocha!" he whined.

"It was you who cut my line!" I retreated.

"Aish! Never mind, I'll just pay you back!" he flipped open his wallet, searching for the money he owed.

After a few minutes, I started to wonder if he actually had money.

"Seriously, you forgot?" I laughed while he furiously spilled the contents out of his wallet.

I picked up his identity card.

Wang Yuan

"You can pay me back tomorrow, I'll meet you at Aroma Mocha same timing," I glared, walking off.
