It's Not All Roses

Chapter-04

TYLER'S P.O.V 

As I entered the cafe and walk back to my seat, I notice a girl walking towards the queue in front of the counter and stood in the line. Something about her was so enticing, which made me follow her to the queue. I don't know what took over me that I couldn't even take my eyes off of her. She looked magical, thick light auburn coloured hair which reached her hips and where beautifully curled at the bottom, her piercing green eyes had dark circles, light freckles on her cheeks and collarbones. She is wearing a beguiling shade of a loosely fitted yellow sundress making her skin glow under the sunlight and also hiding all her curves. Bewitched by her immense beauty and simplicity I realize my phone vibrating in my pant pockets. Taking out my phone I find 6 missed calls from dad and 25 messages from Jake and Xander forcing me to attend the party with the girl. Ignoring the messages, I order my coffee and walk out of the cafe for the second time. I call dad and wait for him to pick up my call, after a few rings he finally answers my call. 

In a rushed voice, he says "Hey son! How are you doing? Was there something important you wanted to talk about?"

"Hello, dad! Yeah, I am doing good. What about you? Are you taking your medicines on time? I kinda have something important to talk about since you forgot to inform some really important things to me." I sighed softly. His condition seems to be getting worse as to what his assistant told me last day during the end of the call.

"Oh boy, you know I'm growing old and how I forget things at times. So, what is it you want to know? Did you meet Anastasia?", he asks curiously.

"Yeah, I am at the cafe right now and that's when I realize my match-maker dad forgot to even tell me the name of my fiancé," I say laughing. Talking to this man is always so easy and relaxing.

"Oops! I might have forgotten but never mind that. Her name is Anastasia Rose De Luca, she is just as beautiful as her name. I've met her a few times when she was young. She has an older sister and a younger brother too. We all will be visiting you guys soon." He says in excitement.

"Yeah, sure! We can go on a family vacation too." I add sarcastically.

"Jokes aside, Tyler. Be good, it's not just for the business. She is just the girl you need in your life. Just give her a try, not everyone is going to leave you. Some people come into your life to stay." He says 

"yeahhhhh, sure. I gotta go, dad. talk to you later. Take care.' ,rushing I disconnect the call. Dad and I have had this conversation for like a hundred times but I wish it was as easy as we talk about it. Maybe someday things would be different.
Saying my goodbyes to dad I walk back into the cafe just to face another head blowin mines for the day. Everything happens in fucking slow motion like in those movies and I still wasn't able to react to that bullshit. I could clearly see that girl blindly walking towards me while using her phone and BOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!! She fucking splashed the whole cold-ass green tea on my fucking white T-shirt Nervously she starts babbling sorry and starts self-accusing. She started to frantically rub off the stain out of my white t-shirt using a napkin, even after all the attraction I felt towards her earlier my anger overpowered. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?' Groaning I move back pushing her hands off of me.

"I am so very sorry. I wasn't thinking right, my whole day is messed up and I was just going through some important messages and I didn't notice you. If you want, I can buy you a new t-shirt or get it dry-cleaned for you. My driver is just outside the café, I'll get it in no time..." She goes on rambling. I grabbed her face to make her look at me. I look into her eyes realizing she was the same girl I met earlier at the cafe.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!! Do you think I don't have money to get myself a t-shirt? Or that I'll give you my shirt so that you can get it dry-cleaned while I wait for it over here shirtless?" I add screaming into her ears. It all happened in a flash. She pushed my hand away and dumped the rest of her fucking drink on top of my head and screamed, "What an asshole!" and went away. I stood there in shock. Anger fuming in me. No one in my entire fucking life has ever dumped a drink on my head. EVER.

My phone starts to ring but I ignore it. The phone vibrates again following with the ping letting me know I got a message. Opening my phone I see its from an unknown number but right now I don't give a fuck as I open the message.

Anastasia: It's me, Anastasia. I am sorry but I had already left the café. Looking forward to meeting you at the penthouse.

I replied her back as a confirmation that'll be coming to the penthouse besides I don't even know where this penthouse is at. Just wow!

Tyler: Okay, will be there. Text me the address babe. 

I don't usually talk to girls this way but I just wanted to piss her off. Like did she really think she could make me wait at a cafe and leave? She has got me wrong. I am not like her other boyfriends.

I put my phone back inside my pocket and stormed out of the café to meet this mystery girl.
