The mall was cold with hundreds of air conditioner to cool down the entire building but it was not enough to cool down Aaron's anger. He was marching his way outside of the mall. He absolutely couldn't stand with the situation happened. Someone just kissed his hubby in front of him ! He was too mad to even look at Eugene's face.

" Aaron ! Aaron ! " Eugene called out. Aaron kept his pace forward. He didn't even bothered to turn around. "Stop ! Aaron !" the call was getting louder. As they were already out of the building, Eugene grabbed Aaron's hand to stop him from walking away. " Babe , listen to me ! " begged the hubby.

Aaron turned around and stared at Eugene with his burning anger look. Eugene was intimidated to explain himself. " What ?! " Aaron barked at Eugene. " He's just my ex-boyfriend.. I don't keep in touch with him anymore," Eugene tried to explain himself. " So why did you kissed him ?! Why did you held his hand ?! WHY ?!" Aaron yelled at Eugene till people nearby looked at them.

" You know what ? I DON'T FUCKING CARE !" Aaron pushed Eugene pretty hard. The momentum of the push made Eugene fell backward. Aaron stared down sharply at Eugene and said , " DON'T FOLLOW ME !". Aaron stomped away with his anger. Eugene was shocked by how his lover's act a 100% different when he's jealous.

- At a coffee shop -

The coffee shop was filled with the aroma of dark coffee bean. Whoever is a coffee lover must be loving the air in the coffee shop. The 'chill' music was played to make the atmosphere more of a chill vibe for the customer to relax with their cup of coffee or drinks of their choice. It was not full with people as the coffee shop had just opened a few months ago.

There were only 3 people who worked there. A lady and two guys. The lady is the owner of the shop. One of the boys was Ryan. Ryan was busy making a cup of Caramel Macchiato for his customer. He worked as a barista in a coffee shop. He worked as a part timer since he can't skip his classes. He came from an average family. He didn't want to depend on his family to pay for his tuition fee.

"Here's your Caramel Macchiato with almond milk miss. Please enjoy, " Ryan served his customer with a delightful smile. " Thank you, " said the girl and went to find her spot to seat. "Ryan, please throw away the plastic garbage," ordered the boss lady. " Okay Miss Amy, " Ryan took the plastic garbage located under the coffee maker. He tied it tightly to keep the rubbish together.

He went out of the coffee shop from the back door. He put the plastic garbage into the giant garbage bin. Usually the garbage truck will take the rubbish on every Tuesday , Thursday and Saturday. The garbage bin was almost full. It should be empty by the dusk. Ryan wiped his sweats as the weather was hot and dry.

About 100 metres from Ryan, Aaron was walking while his face looked very tensed. Ryan saw Aaron and called for him. " Aaron ! " Ryan waved his hand to get Aaron's attention. Aaron looked around and saw Ryan. He walked to Ryan and tried to smile. "Hey Ryan, what are you doing here ?" Aaron asked Ryan. " I'm working as a part timer at this coffee shop, " Ryan replied.

"Ohh.. " Aaron nodded. " And why are you here ?" Ryan asked Aaron. Aaron was kept on thinking about his anger, he didn'r realized he was frowning as he talked to Ryan. He didn't listen to Ryan's question. "Aaron ? AARON !" Ryan yelled. " Uhh hah ? " Aaron got startled by the yelling. " I asked why are you here ?" Ryan repeated his question.

"ohh.. umm.. I was just walking around," Aaron replied. " Do you want to come to this coffee shop ? We have a lot of drinks on the menu. Maybe it can make you more relax ?" Ryan sensed something had happened to Aaron. " Hmm.. Okay.. " Aaron agreed to enter the coffee shop since he needed a friend to cheer him up.

"Have a seat. Do you want anything ?" asked Ryan. Aaron smiled and said ," Thanks, umm do you guys have chocolate drinks ?". " Yes, we have that one. Do you want iced or hot chocolate ?" responded the barista. " Iced chocolate. Make it special please.. For your junior. hehehe," Aaron smiled to his senior. " Of course I will. I need to show you how good this coffee shop is since this is your first time coming here," Ryan put his hand on Aaron's shoulder and then went to make his junior's order.
