It was one fine Sunday.
Jana had already went back to Philippines.
I was strolling around the park. Randomly petting random dogs from random people. It might not be safe, but who cares? Dogs are cute so you can't exactly blame me.
"What's her name?" I asked the owner.
"Jew" He said.
"Aww, cute name." I said as I rubbed the back of thehead of Jew.
"One question though" I said looking at him. Then he smiled and nodded.
"We, my sister and I, saw her while it was raining. So we called her Jew to remind us of the jew drops from the rain." He said still smiling at me.
"Oh, I'm Leanna, but you can call me Lea."I said holding out a hand.
"Jake." He said while he gladly shook my hand.
"Well, I'm off to the cafe." I said as I started to get up.
"Yeah okay. We should get coffee soon." He said as he looked at me.
"Yeah sure, I'd like that." I said and smiled at him.
We swapped numbers then I went on my way.
I was there probably 30 minutes when someone covered my eyes.
I was about to scream when the guy also covered my mouth.
"Guess who?"
"Brad!" I said but was muffled by his hand.
He took his hands off my eyes and mouth and then I turned from my seat.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as we hugged.
"Well turns out, this happens to be my favorite cafe."
"Mine too!"
"Mind if I take a seat?" He asked as he flashed me a smile.
I shook my head and took a sip of my tea.
The cafe is simple. It's actually more like a library cafe. There's a bookshelf where you can get books if you want while drinking tea.
"What's that about?" Brad asked gesturing to the book I was reading.
"It's about a girl called Kaye, she's a very shy girl. She doesn't talk when anyone is around her exept for her family ofcourse, and, well, she found the guy who can make her talk like there was no tomorrow." I said while looking at the book
Brad chuckled and asked "How many times have you read this?"
"About a million times. This is my all time favorite!" I said while chuckling too.
There was a minute or two of silence. We both were just looking at each other's eyes.
"Well, I should be going home now. My mom will kill me if I don't. She's a bit paranoid." I said as I chuckled.
"Well, I would be too if you don't let me walk you home." He said.
I chuckled and nodded.
"Sure. I mean, only if you want to."
"Spending a little bit more time won't hurt right?" He smiled.
I nodded and grabbed my phone on the table and placed the book back on the shelf. Then we started to walk to my house.
.......
When we arrived near my house, I stopped and looked at the ground.
"I can do it from here." I said and smiled at him.
