'Umm I can work in a cafe as barista' I suggested
'Thats a great Idea, you make amazing coffee' Jake said
'So from tomorrow you can start working' my dad said
'Thank you dad, love you so much' I said pulling him and Jake into a giant hug.
'don't be so sweet, I'll get diabetes' Jake said laughing
'Shut up' I said and left for my room.

Next day after the university I spend the whole day in my room searching for a cafe who requires a barista and I finally got one. There was a number of the owner so I called her for more details.
'Good evening, how may I help you' she said
'Good evening, ma'am I was looking for a job at your cafe'
'Thats great, we need one, so from when you want to join' she asked
'Actually ma'am I can work after four' I said
'That's perfect, so you can join from tomorrow four to seven' she said
'Thank you ma'am, ohh by the way I am Jeni' I said
'Alice here, will love to see ya tomorrow' she said
'Yeah sure' I said

Ohh my god tomorrow is Allie's birthday party. Allie invited Jake as well. He would go with his girlfriend. I just have an hour to get ready for her birthday party.

Next day after the university I went to the cafe.
'Hello, yesterday I called Alice for the job' I said to a girl sitting at the cash counter.
'Oh yeah Alice told me about you, she is not here right now you can wait for sometime' she said
'Yeah sure' I said
I was sitting at the table just opposite to the TV.
When suddenly the news about X-factor and Christo flashed. I was looking at the TV when my phone buzzed. It was a message from Christo
Messages-
CHRISTO: selected in top tweleve :D

JENI: you are late :P the news just flashed on TV Anyway I am at a cafe right now.

CHRISTO: with boyfriend? Lol.<3

JENI: Ha~Ha :( I am planning to do a part time job here. :/

CHRISTO: what!! Are u serious, will talk to you later about this, now I have to go somewhere.Xxx

I just kept the phone when I noticed a boy was staring at me. I was quite sure I'd never seen him before. Mahogany hair, straight and short. He looked my age, maybe a year older.
I looked away, suddenly conscious as if some thing was wrong. And yet-I cut a glance to him, and his eyes were still on me. It occurred to me why they call it eye contact.
I ordered a coffee, he was sitting two seats away from me. I glanced again. He was still watching me.
     Look , let me just say it: He was hot. A nonhot boy stares at you relentlessly and it is, at best, awkward and, at worst, a form of assault. But a hot boy . . . well.
The coffee came and now I was looking at the magazine, I tried my level best to avoid him but the guy was still staring at me. I felt rather blushy.
Finally, I decided that the proper strategy was to stare back. Boys do not have a monopoly on the Staring Business, after all. And soon it was a staring contest. After a while the boy smiled, and then finally his blue eyes glanced away. When he looked back at me, I flicked my eyebrows up to say, I win. He shrugged.
After some time he pushed himself out of his chair and walked over to me.
He towered over me, but he kept his distance so I wouldn't have to crane my neck to look him in the eye.
"What's your name?" He asked
"Jeni"
He was going to say something but then he shook his head, Just looking at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing," he said.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
He half smiled. "Because you're beautiful. I enjoy looking at beautiful people." He said.
Blood rushed to my cheek.
"But now I have to leave" I said as I saw Alice.

"Ohh sorry you have to wait for me" Alice said.
She was a little old. Maybe forty five but was too sweet.
"Its fine" I said
She gave me an apron with cafe's name on it. I was just thinking about that boy whose name I don't know.
