CHAPTER TWENTY;;

Saturday. I rolled over my bed and stared at the ceiling of my room for awhile before checking the time on my phone.

When I did, I see that it was almost nine and also received two text messages from Rose earlier this morning. Wonder what's up?

Rose: that shithead daniel cant take his shift today as always

Rose: so what time are you going to be here?? our crappy ass manager is asking

Ofcourse Daniel says he couldn't work today and his excuse would always be that he is sick or he would be out of town to visit his family.

But everyone who has worked with him before knows that he's a lazy ass motherfucker who wants to party on the weekends instead of working.

Me: that fucking asshole

Me: i swear to god somebody has to tell him off

Rose: youre getting paid mia i dont get why youre so pissed at him

Rose: should be happy that youre getting his pay check

Rose: anyway be at the cafe before ten soooooooooo

Rose: get your lazy ass here N O W

I sighed then forced myself to get out of bed and headed towards the toilet for a hot shower.

After I was done, I wrapped myself in a towel and got out and that's when the smell of fresh pancakes hit me.

My aunt must be the one that's making them. She might be having a day off today or maybe she has the night shift at the hospital. Who knows? I made a mental note to ask her later.

Soon after I got dressed in my my work clothes, I went downstairs and I see Maria was about to go up the stairs, still in her pyjamas.

"Oh, goodmorning."

"Goodmorning to you too, Maria," I smiled and she returned one back.

"I was just about to call you for breakfast."

We both sat down at the dining table and I looked over at the where the kitchen was and remembered what happened with Zayn last night. I touched my neck with my fingertips and I could still feel his lips on them.

"Tea, or coffee?" My aunt asks and I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Uh, tea, please," I tell her and she pours me a cup then handing it to me.

"Where you off to today?" She says, as I take the cup from her. She then pours herself a cup of coffee and took a quick sip from it.

"Work," I sighed. "Daniel can't take his shift today, as always. What about you? Do you have the night shift, or a day off?"

"Day off," Maria sighs and rubbed her eye with a finger. "I need one,"

"What did you do last night?"

And as soon as the question left her lips, I choked on my drink, thinking that she might know about Zayn being here, in the house, alone, with me.

"W-what do you mean?" I put down my cup and did not want to meet my aunt's eyes, knowing that she could see right through me if I lied. "I was doing my homework,"

"I was just asking, Mia," She says, cutting a piece of pancake on her plate. "Why you getting all worked up for?"

I looked at the clock hanging on the wall and see that it was ten minutes to ten. "Look at the time," I got up from my seat, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek before making my way to the front door. "See you later,"
