" What does he think himself? Fooling me!!" said Rosie as she closes her house's door.
Rosie saw her mother laying on the couch watching TV, Rosie walked to her mother all pissed off,
" MOM! I NEED TO TALK WITH YOU!",
" oh .. hey honey your back .. late again, " said Rosie's mother as she turned to her, " Please .. sit and tell me what you want to talk about .. ",
" Okay .. " Rosie sat next to her mother, facing her " Let's ..... Let's assume this situation okay mom? ",
" Alright sweetie .. I am all ears .. ",
" Imagine you are working .. in ... in umm .. in a restaurant? as an example .. ",
" .. okay .. ",
" And .. you had a first-time customer .. well .. twice, maybe every day .. not sure BUT! very weird looking .. well let's say you can't see his or h-her face and the way that person dresses, really weird .. and doesn't speak like if he or SHE wants to order .. he or she points at the menu .. and .. umm moreover, there's a time .. THAT person comes in a certain time and a-",
" Honey is that a serial killer? ",
" N-NO MOM! .. I mean .. I hope not ... uhh .. WAIT LET ME COMPLETE!",
" Okay! .. whoa .. I mean, that's a perfect description for a serial killer ",
" A-And .. that customer leaves the restaurant without paying .. and it's like .. not the first time ..",
" ... Did you face something like this in the café dear?!",
"NO... no no no mom hah... like can you imagine something like this would happen!? Umm i-it's something that Julian .. umm .. Julian was giving me this fake scenario and like .. what would I do .. ",
" Hmm .. alright .. the way you are saying it kinda suspicious .. I will try to speak with him or .. her?"
" I told you the person doesn't talk ..",
" hmm .... you should definitely call the cops!",
" Please mom .. other than that, ... Yes, that person looked strange, weird and didn't pay but I think calling the cops is a bit too much .. ",
" hmm try to figure this person out in my own way .. ",
" Oh .. how?",
" Well .. clearly this customer is really mysteries, I will try to study their behavior .. and will try to discover them ... " said Rosie's mother, " Huh? ....... Maybe you are right mom ... OKAY GOODNIGHT MOM LOVE YOU!" Rosie kissed her mother's cheek and ran to her room.
After her conversation with her mother, Rosie decided to study that man, she was assuming maybe one day she will see his face, or maybe hears his voice. She was waiting for him in the following night and she knew that at 11:03 pm he will come, she was in the kitchen looking at the clock, she heard the café's doorbell,
" I was expecting you sir ... ", he didn't respond back and sat at the exact table, she had already prepared his coffee, Rosie places it in his table saying " Enjoy your drink .. ", she walked back to the café's kitchen and looking at him from far away so he couldn't see that she is stalking him.
Three minutes and the man finishes his coffee, he took out a beautiful little box from his hoodie, it was the rose he always places inside the cup after he finishes drinking it, he got up and left the café. She walked to his table, took the rose, " so .. let's get this discovery started!".
8 months have passed, and every day, every night at 11:03 pm, Rosie waited for the man to come and he always shows up in the exact time, Rosie always prepares the order a few minutes before his arrival. Rosie started to get used to him, she started to have weird feelings, like her day won't complete until her last customer arrives, and that's the man. All these months passed by, there was not a single conversation between them.
One day Rosie was waiting, as usual, she kept checking the wall clock until it was 11:03,
" Alright mystery man .. " she stood straight, turns over the mirror and looking at herself, " Well well...Hello there... Mr. beautiful rose .. today we break the silence between us and .. get to know each other... Of course, your order is ready sir .. but first .. what is YOUR story ... I .. want to know ... EVER-Ugh!",
Rosie placed her hands on her face, blushing from her embarrassment " .. what the hell am I doing .. why am I nervous .. it is not like the first time he would be around here .. I will just try to be .. friendly .." as Rosie was speaking to herself, she left her head up and saw the time, it was 11:04, "huh? .. well that's a first .... It's just 1 minute no biggy!". Rosie kept an eye on the wall clock, one other minute passed by, 11:05, she started to get a strange feeling, " okay now he never misses the time m-maybe I shou-". Rosie saw the man standing behind the café's door, all of a sudden she hyped up and ran opening the door "H-HELLO! I-I was waiting for-",
As Rosie was speaking, the man falls down on his knees, Rosie grabbed his arms " S-Sir y-you oka- .. " she saw blood on the ground,
" W-What the ...!!!"
