It's been a week since he left this house and he never came back. The days were longer, nights filled with emptiness and home filled with darkness. I didn't do anything except cry, sleep, and watch sad romance movies. I couldn't take my mind off of him. He was all i could think of. What he did was wrong, but my heart can't move on. No matter what, I think I'm always going to love him.
Even though my heart was stone-cold, i can't waste away this way. After he left, I took a nice, warm bath and let it all go. The rose bath bomb and scented candles soothed my shaken up body and puffy, red eyes. All my mind could think of, was how happy he sounded over the phone. When I heard him laugh and giggle when he was with Sarah broke my heart because I hadn't heard him be that happy in months.
I haven't been showing up at work but it was okay with my boss since she was my best friend. But i decided it was time to get my lazy self up and earn some money. I washed up, put on my uniform and headed out the door.
I walked into the shop and immediately smelled the smell of pastries and sweets. Yes, i work in a bakery/cafe. I went into the kitchen and put on my apron as i turned on the stove to melt butter.
"Ella! What are you doing here ? you're supposed to be at home !!!" said Katie.
"No Katie, I'm fine really." I argued back.
I took my notepad and pen and went out to the tables to take orders. There weren't many customers except for the young man sitting by the window.
"Good morning, what can I get for you," I asked before looking up from my greasy notepad. The minute I looked up I met his eyes. A pair of warm, grey eyes that pulled you in. He looked a bit familiar but I shrugged it off.
"Oh woah, hello. Could I get a blueberry muffin?" the stranger asked with a wide smile
"Yes you may, will that be all?" I asked.
"Hmmm... can i also get your number by any chance?" He said smirking at me.
I put my notepad down slowly and looked at him.
"It depends who's asking." I said acting oblivious.
"Oh, i'm sorry, excuse my rudeness. My name is Jae, and who might be this beautiful lady in front of me?" He said arrogantly.
"I'm Ella, and I don't know. It depends on what you're willing to do for my number."
"What if I told you I could buy all the blueberry muffins you can bake in a week?" he quickly replied.
"Then I would say that you're stupid. What are you gonna do with a week's worth of muffins?"
" I don't know. I just know that this, this right now , is love at first sight."
"Love at first sight doesn't exist, Jae." I said while wiping the tables.
"If you don't mind me asking, why do you think that?" He asks. I take a deep breath at his question. Was i ready to face the reality?
"Look Jae, I was hurt by someone who vowed to stay by my side through tough times and promised to never leave. But little did i know that it would end quite fast. I thought it was love at first but i guess things can turn around real quick unexpectedly." I replied
He looked at me in a sympathetic way and took a took a bite of his muffins. "Whoever hurt you, i can assure i am not like that."
I rolled my eyes and looked at him.
"I thought the same thing about him too. Honestly, you can never know what happens in the future. I'm just...not ready to get hurt again..." Tears started brimming in my eyes and seeped through the corner of my eyelids.
I heard the bell of the door ring and i saw a person enter the cafe. I wiped my tears and gave Jae a small smile before going behind the counter to serve the person.
Sometimes, talking about it helps
