Coffee Shop Love Story: SERENDIPITY

Chapter 3

Mallory, is on her way to work. She works in a coffee shop. Her cellphone rang and a message from her mom, needing tuition money for her younger brother is in her inbox. She pressed the exit button because she forgot to load her phone. She'll just listen to music while walking she thought. She's busy looking for her earphones and didn't see a man approaching. They bumped into each other and she fell to the ground. "Are you alright?" the man asked while helping her up. "I'm okay." she said. She fixes herself and look at the man he bumped into. It's the new guy in town! She only saw him for a couple of times, she heard he works at a call center. Everytime she saw him, he has that smiling eyes that twinkles like a star but today there's something different, all she sees is a pair of eyes as dark as the night. "You're bleeding" she was startled when suddenly the man grabs her wrist and look at her bleeding palm. She didn't even know she's hurt. "I'm fine. It's just a scratch. I'll just put on some bandage later." she said bluntly but the guy is still holding her hand. "I'm sorry." He said. "It's okay. It's my fault." she said. The man stared at her "I'm really sorry, I'm...my...my mind is not functioning well right now. I just received a bad news. When we see each other again I promise to treat you for a coffee or something." He said. She don't know what got into her but she hug him and said "don't worry, everything will turn out okay." she's late to realize what she did. so she just let go and smile at him and said "I... I have to go. Bye." And walk straight without looking back "What has gotten into me?" she asked herself.
