5:30 PM @ BlueStar Cafe'

Vin:
Excuse me, are you finished, or are you just getting started?
(He leaned casually against the table)

Lia:
Ugh, losing streak.
(I grumbled, rolling my eyes and tapping the screen of my phone with frustration)

Vin:
Oh, really? That's tragic. But I was referring to your order, not your gaming skills.
(He smirked)

Lia:
Cancer... yeah, we've got a tank-going solo, obviously.
(I shrugged dismissively, eyes still glued to my phone)

Vin:
Miss, if you're not planning to order anything else, maybe it's time to let someone else enjoy the ambiance? There are other customers who might want to experience your level of concentration.
(He raised an eyebrow)

Lia:
(I looked up from my phone, taking a slow sip of my taro milk tea with a bemused smile)
Not done yet. Table's for two; we can share if you're that desperate.

Vin:
You could always take it to go.
(He murmured)

Lia:
(I raised an eyebrow, setting my cup down with a soft thud)
Got something to say?

Vin:
Only that you've been sitting here long enough to claim squatter's rights.
(He smirked)

Lia:
Stalker much?

Vin:
Stalker? Please, I prefer 'keen observer of interesting behavior.'
(He winked)

Lia:
I'm a paying customer too. If you've got a problem with that, then maybe it's time for you to move on.

Vin:
Pft. Sure, but I couldn't help but notice you're just playing Mobile Legends... Don't you have a boyfriend or something better to do? (He teased)

Lia:
(I rolled my eyes and gave him a curt nod)
You know what, you should really mind your own business.

Vin:
Gladly.
(He smirked, then placed his ordered food on the table and sat across from me)

I shot him a glance, assessing him despite my irritation. He stood about 5'8", with brown hair, a fair complexion, and a fit build. My gaze traveled from his white shirt peeking out from under his black jacket down to his jeans. I had to admit, he was attractive, but that didn't stop him from being a nuisance. Suddenly, he caught me staring, and I quickly averted my gaze, pretending to be engrossed in my phone. Seriously...

Vin:
So... what's your rank?

Lia:
Mythic.

Vin:
How long have you been playing?

Lia:
A year.

Vin:
Ah, so you're a seasoned pro. Did you come here just for the Wi-Fi, or is my charming company a bonus?
(He grinned)

Lia:
Are you really that nosy? I asked you to mind your own business. So annoying.
(I rolled my eyes)

Vin:
Wow, someone's in a mood. Just trying to make the atmosphere a little less... intense.
(He shrugged with a smirk)
