Secrecy of Regrets

40- Make it as Sweet as Me"

40- Make it as Sweet as Me"

"Or is it the Horror movie you watched with Charlotte?"

If it weren't for my head hung down, he would have seen my eyes bulging out of their sockets! And for the record, I am going to go all Gorilla to Charlotte for detailing out every small things to these two men.

What about now?

"I am definitely not awake at this time because of that stupid movie of course." I scoffed.

"Ohh, that's certainly not the movie" He brushed off my reasoning in rather sarcastic tone.

I just rolled my eyes at him giving him satisfaction for his arrogant self.

"Okay Mr. Jack Interrogative Nicholson that may or may not be one of the reasons. Will this confession make your rough day smooth?" I also add a bit of sarcastic tone, all thanks to Mr. Jerk here.

"Any reason for your undying love for early morning workout? I can't imagine Jack The Nicholson nervous about any meeting, now can I?"

He did exactly what I expected him to do! He stood up and went to the door. He asked over his shoulder "Want a coffee?"

I stood up immediately and went to him. I had to inch up myself on tiptoes to confirm he is not making fun of me and he gave me that bored look.

He grabbed me from elbow and pushed me out of his way not harshly though. He went towards kitchen and before any ghost could attack me, I followed his suit.

"I don't like- I mean I hate Black coffee from the depth of my heart." I gave him warning continuously trying to catch up with his long strides.

He went towards the coffee maker and turned towards me with stern face.

"What? You gave me invitation so you have to make it as per my wish. And please make it as sweet as me or Charlotte for that matter. May I remind you to not imagine yourself as good as those Manekenfriet's fries." I tried to say these rather sternly ignoring very unrecognisable expression of Jack.

"Ummm... Jer- Jack, coffee please?" He came back from his thoughts and resumed his work.

"What is that Mannekenfriet's Fries?" Jack asked very calmly as if asking about 'how's weather?'

My head automatically jerked in his direction I think it's gonna hurt like hell later. But the shock is more than that pain.

I climbed down from the stool I was sitting and went towards Jack standing on other side of counter. I placed my hand on his shoulder and turned him to face me. He looked at me with careful expression noticing my wide eye expression.

"You live in Amsterdam, right?" I asked him.

"I am in Amsterdam since my birth." He said as matter of fact.

"Then how come you don't know about 'Mannekenfriet's Fries'?" He gave me that not interested look.

"Forget it." I looked at counter for my phone but remembered that I forgot it in my room and going back to fetch it definitely was not an option! So I asked Jack for his phone. He gave me sceptical look, nevertheless he handed me the phone.

I searched for Instagram or Facebook application in his phone.

"I don't have any social media application, if you are finding one." Ohh, this man is unpredictable.

I logged in to my Instagram account through browser and showed him 'Mannekenfriet's Fries' page from Direct Message section. Ohh I was very excited when I got reply from admin of this page! It was easy to find the through DM Section.

"How? How can you not know about this place? I follow every damn page of celebrity and places of Amsterdam. I bet I know more about Amsterdam than you do." I boasted up my ego with head help up high.

"Charlotte dragged us to this place few times, never knew it was famous though." Completely ignoring my proud self, he slid his phone into pocket and filled our freshly brewed coffee into mugs. He put some extra cream milk in my coffee with 1 cubes of sugar.

I took a sip of coffee and almost moaned in satisfaction but controlled myself. I added one cube of sugar just to tease jack.

"I told you to make it as sweet as me!"

Almost 3 months since I have updated it.

I sincerely apologise for not being active for so long. I have my exams, friend's birthday and INTERNSHIP! So couldn't get proper time to update it.

So Jiyana here was not successful as always. Charlotte is gonna have hard time for this.

Will this early morning Coffee session bring any dramatic turn to this story or not? We'll see it in next chapter!

Happy Reading!!!
