I was lonely, I thought I would never find love. For many years, I've been on blind dates but none has ever been successful. I'm afraid that I'll be alone in the future because I'm unlovable. Most of my friends already have boyfriends while I'm just here.. alone.. like always. I never really thought that I'd be with someone because of my past experiences. But hey, there's still a chance. I just hope it's real.

While I was going to the coffee shop, alone of course, i just ordered an espresso, paid for it, and went outside immediately. I went to the park and sat on a bench, enjoying my coffee. It seemed like a lovely day, the sun shining, butterflies flying and it was full of smiles everywhere. It was very calming to me. I always enjoy days like this.

I was viewing my wonderful surroundings until I finished my coffee. I decided to throw it to the nearest trash can, since it was only a few meters away from me. I threw it and went back to my bench. I sat again for awhile and listened to music.

An hour just passed, so I decided to leave. As I was passing by, I saw something fall from a person's jacket. It seemed like he was in a hurry. I took the object, and it was papers for.. a job? I assumed that this person was applying for a job that was near the city. I ran, and tried to find him to return his papers back to him.

I found him running around the street, He was going very fast, he's probably late for his interview. But he won't be able to get the job if he doesn't have his papers, so I tried to run faster until.. I.. lost him. I had to stop because I couldn't breathe, and he was too far that I couldn't catch up.

I was worrying, what if he doesn't get the job because he doesn't have these papers? I started to panic. But! An idea came to my head. If he's applying here, maybe the company's name is here too!
I read the papers and the company's name was there! It was LHV Co. and it's just right around the corner!

I ran faster than I ever thought I could. Finally, I reached the building. I tried to find the person with the jacket but.. it was very crowded, I couldn't find him. I still tried, I went around to look for him, but I couldn't. I thought I failed. I wanted to cry, even if I didn't even know who this person was.

I felt bad that maybe it's my fault that he wouldn't be able to get his job. I just sat silently on a sofa inside the building, thinking what could have happened to the person. I tried to look around, maybe he's there. But no, nobody looked like him. I just decided to leave.

Once I went outside, A guy was looking around the floor trying to search for something. I looked at his jacket, maybe it could be him? As I went closer, I recognized it, it was him! I quickly asked him if he owned the papers and he nodded.

"Are these yours?", I asked the guy. "W-what? How are these with you? Anyways-- thank you so much!", He said as he grabbed the papers and went inside the building. "Uh, y-you're welcome.", I replied, even if he wasn't there. I may not know him, but I'm glad that he's happy he got his papers back.

I went home, tiredly, it was a very rough day. It was an unordinary day. I dressed up and got ready for bed. I slept earlier today since I was very tired. It was a great night, I had enough sleep and I was well-rested.

I woke up at 7am in the morning, I made some breakfast and I took a shower. It seemed like a bright and sunny day outside, so I decided to go outside for a walk again. It was breezy, yet sunny outside. I love seasons like these, always my favorite.

I went to the same coffee shop again and ordered a cappuccino. As soon as I got my order, I paid for it and went outside. I had this routine everyday which I was used to. Everyday would always be the same..

"Hey?", Someone asked me. "Aren't you the person who gave me my papers yesterday?", the person asked. I looked at the guy and I remembered his face. "Yeah! I remember you.", I replied to him. "I just wanted to say thank you so much! I got accepted for the job and I could never ever thank you more!", he said to me happily. "Aw it's no big deal, congratulations.", I said with a smile.

"Do you go to that coffee shop over there?", He pointed towards the one behind me. "Yes! I go there everyday to order coffee.", I replied. "Really? That's great! Wanna hang out there for awhile?", He asked me. "Sure! Why not?", I said with a big smile on my face.

"Oh yeah, what's your name again?", He asked me.
"My name is Skye, you?"
"Chase. Nice to meet you, Skye."
We said to each other as we went inside the coffee shop.
