Chapter 4

I hop off the last step of the bus and stumble on the footpath as I manage not to bump my face onto the lamp post. I’m late for work and that too for the fifth time in a month! Ash is so gonna kill me! Thank God he has a crush on my sister or else I would have been fired by now!

I jog my way to the tiny café to get my usual cup of cold coffee before I carry on to ‘Safire’. I know I’m such a hopeless employee despite being late I still wanna stand behind 3 people in a queue to get my cold coffee. But my day just doesn’t start without it, that too in summer!

After a complete wait of 15 minutes my turn arrives and I place my order. I tap my fingers anxiously on the counter as I wait for the coffee to arrive. The guy at the counter gives me a bored look as he yells my order to the kitchen. I check the time and realize its 10 am and I am 1 hour late.

“Here you go” the counter guy slides the styrofoam glass towards me and I shell out five dollars from my bag. I make the payment and rush out of the café with my coffee glass in hand.

I start walking to my workplace which is just a couple of blocks away from the café. I check the time again to see it’s 10.10 am and increase my pace.

“It’s too late to apologize…

It’s too lateeeee…

I said it’s too late to apologize..

It’s too lateee….”

My phone starts blasting the lyrics to One Republic’s Apologize and for a second I imagine Ashton standing outside Safire in an all black ensemble with a mic in hand singing One Republic’s Apologize. I quickly snap out of it as I fish for my cell in my huge bag with my free hand while holding the cup of coffee and my bag in the other hand. My phone keeps blaring the lyrics of One Republic as I take a turn and smash into something.

And there goes my styrofoam cup up in the air as I fall back on my butt.

As I recover from my accident the first thing I notice are a  pair of black Puma shoes. I look up to see a guy in a grey shorts and white tank top with the flag of Britain printed on it. He’s blond hair seem to be tucked under a black cap and he pulls out a earplug from his ear as he looks down at me with a blank expression. That’s when I notice the big coffee stain on the pretty British flag on his shirt.

“It’s too late to apologize..

It’s too latee…”

And my phone goes off again! I dunno what I was thinking when I choose this ringtone! Definitely gonna change the ringtone now! I grab my phone from my bag as I see Ashton’s smirking face blinking on my fone.

“Oh Damn!” I sigh and get up. 

“Really really really sorry but I gotta rush! Sorry again!” I apologize to the blond guy as I answer the call  and without waiting for his reply start jogging again.
