Coffee Shop

He was so bored. He already finished his homework and even reluctantly resorted to reading about their next lessons in advance. And now, he had nothing else to do.

Why does nii-san need to have extended hours at work? He sighed. He absolutely loves talking with his nii-san about random facts in life that he, as the younger one, could learn to apply eventually. There was never a dull conversation with his brother, that's why it irked him how he's not yet around although he said he'll be home by dusk.

He had his chin on his hand, brows furrowed while he's slumped forward on the table at his usual spot, the far corner of the room that almost seemed to be signed by his name. Puffing his cheeks, he shot a glance at the door for the fourteenth time. Yup, he was counting, because he would point that out to nii-san while yelling at him about how it sucked to be waiting for him for so long before he returns. But, much to his dismay, no Itachi appeared up until now.

While his charcoal eyes were fixed on the glass door, a pink-haired woman gracefully pushed it with her hand and entered their coffee shop, earning a cheery welcome greeting from his mother who was used to doing the same thing to every customer that comes to their place.

That's when he didn't know what came over him. His eyes were wide at the sight of those shining orbs that were as clear as emeralds, and his mouth was slightly parted with the effect of the wind that made the woman's pink locks flow with it. For some unknown reason, he couldn't help but follow her with his gaze as she proceeded to the counter to relay her order.

Is this what nii-san calls a crush? He wondered.

"So, nii-san, what should a guy do when he has a crush?" He asked his older brother one time.

"Well, the guy should be really nice to the girl, and perhaps even give her a flower or some chocolates to make her feel special."

A flower, huh?

In no time, he rushed to their garden located behind the coffee shop and carefully picked the single pristine white rose in bloom among the sea of budding plants. Mom might scold him later, but he was convinced on following nii-san's advice.

His head swiftly turned from left to right in search for the pink-haired woman that captivated his heart when he ran back inside the café. His eyes then landed on the table by the window, where the pinkette had gently placed her freshly brewed coffee beside a stack of notebooks. Maybe she has homeworks too?

With the white rose in hand, he bit his lip and mustered the courage to take small steps towards the direction of the lady. And when he stopped right in front of her, he couldn't help but stare in awe as he fumbled with the flower in his hand. He suddenly didn't know what to do.

Until the woman lifted her gaze from her notebook. "Hi there! Is there anything I can help you with?"

His throat suddenly went dry. The lady glanced at him with a small smile but he seemed to forget what he was there for.
