Someone coughed behind her. "One birdie told me something." Farah had a long shift through the weekend and had just reached home.

"What?"

"That you met a certain someone."

" I don't know what you are talking about."

Farah raised her eyebrows.

"Fine…"

"Now say."

" I doused a sack of flour on him. So as an apology I am taking him out for coffee."

"That's a date!" Farah squealed.

" Farah…" She warned.

"It's a date." 

" Farah it's not." "Oh god your babies will be cute."

"Farah!"

"Sorry… I didn't mean to hurt you."

"It's okay."

" I am so stupid. I really need a brain mouth filter."

She hugged Aira. 

" I think I have a cute baby with me right now." Aira said chuckling.

" I am not a baby." Farah pouted.

"I would have helped you pick an outfit but my sleep is calling me."

" Let me guess Louis was an asshole again."

"Asshole he is a universal jerk. Chutiya."

"I feel you."

" You work with kids."

"Handle a kid with tantrum. Louis is a cakewalk."

Farah slumped onto the bed. Aira laughed at her friend's antics. Farah lifted her hand showing her middle finger.

Aira rolled her eyes. She went into the bathroom

Wear this. No excuses Farah
She found a top and a pair of trousers waiting for her in her dresser. It was a floral print crop top with ruffled sleeves. She groaned she hated it because she would be forced to show her skin. Luckily the jeans was high waist.

Aira smiled at the note. She turned to see Farah passed out in the bed.

She took the bus to the Bakery. She was listening to music as she  sat on her seat. She felt someone staring at her. She turned her head to see no one.

" He is not going to come for you." She told herself.

" Don't ruin the moment." She continued chiding herself.

She got down from the bus. She walked into the cafe. She texted him.

Hey, I am here.

Your Ten o'clock 

"Hi." She said greeting him. He hugged softly. Henry noticed her flinch a bit at the contact. It was like a reflex.
She was looking beautiful. He noticed she was devoid of makeup only a bit of eyemake up. He saw she was nervous. Her outfit made her look much younger.

"Nice outfit." She said looking at his ball cap and beard which according to her wasn't doing much in hiding that it was him.

"This thing is so itchy. My hair stylist gave me a quizzical look when I asked for a beard moustache combination."

"Why?"

"I never asked before."

"Mmh.hmmm"

"You look much younger."
