"Where are we going?" Ashton asked as he sat on his motorbike without turning the engine on.

"How does the 'house' sound? Is that okay?"

"I don't feel like going on a long trip for now, what about we just go to a cafe then book a room in a hotel or something like that?"

"That's pretty fine with me, and I also don't want you to hurt yourself by forcing yourself into this, so it's all fine. Lead the way, my love." I said turning on my engine. He did the same and speeding up leaving me following close behind. We head to the same road as his brother's shop but I doubt it if we'll go there. And my assumption was right because he passed the turn right and still going straight. We turn right on the end of the road and he took a U-turn after about 200metres. We reached the cafe and it said 'Tibumi Coffee'. It seems pretty cool and cozy and comfy. We parked our motorbike and took off our helmets.

He smiled happily at me showing his deep dimples. I return the smile as I poke his dimple. He giggles quietly and leading me the way. We reach a door and he took off his boots. I followed his movement and open the door for him. The barista greets him like an old friend and I raised my eyebrow at that.

"Who's this boy that you take with you, Mr. Irwin?" Ask him.

"This is Luke Hemmings, my boyfriend. Luke, this is Andrew a barista, a doctor and also a good friend." Ashton said introducing us. The man that called Andrew raised his hand in a fist and I bumped mine with him.

"Stop mentioning that I'm a doctor. I'm a barista while I'm in this cafe. What happens in the hospital stays in the hospital kid."

"I'm not a kid, and it was supposed to be Vegas, not 'hospital'," Ashton said. The young man chuckled and asking us what do we want.

"I'll just get my usual Red Velvet Au lait'. What do you want Luke?"

"Can I get tiramisu Au laite along with two tiramisu cake and one macaroni cheese?"

"Hungry aren't we?" Andrew said and I chuckled quietly.

"I'll send you your order once they're done, feel free to connect your device into the Wi-Fi." We flashed him a small smile and Ashton walked back outside. He put his boots on and walked to the tabled near an old motorbike.

"I prefer to sit outside instead inside. It's comfier and quite. And you know how much I love dimmed lights." I just nodded my head knowing everything he loves due to them being remembered by heart.

"I'm all fine actually. And that man seems pretty young. How old is he?"

"He's around late 20. Surprising isn't it? I mean he's still pretty young and yet he can be a successful doctor and barista, along with his two brothers."

"Have you met them all?"

"Yeah, the first time I went here, the three of them was there, so... " He shrugged his shoulder and I just nodded. He put his head on the table, doing God knows what. I pull out my camera from his bag and setting it a little. The Andrew guy comes to us giving us our drinks and snacks. I thanked him while Ash seems like doesn't notice it. I set them on the table and grab my camera again.

"Hey, Ash,"

"Yes, Luke?"

"Wanna be my model?" I asked raising my camera a little. He smiled widely at me and gave me a little peck on my lips after looking around his surroundings.

"What I should do for this time, Mr. I-Know-Every-Perfect-Pose-And-View."

"Just sit over there and try to look likes you were looking around waiting for someone," I said pointing to the table in front of us that has some stools on it. The table was facing the road (the outside of the cafe) and I know for sure it looks great.
