I walk straight to the cafe when Kim said I could come early

I walk straight to the cafe when Kim said I could come early. The distance from Liam apartment to Coaster Cafe is small but the thoughts that unfurled in my mind like a tornado sweeping every other except of Liam are bigger. I don't know how I handled the situation but all I know is I can not sit in my room and do nothing while he went to wherever he go for fight.

I am still hurt with the way he rejected me and was so eager to attend a match. My concern for him means nothing to him than his stupid fight. What angered me more is how he didn't even put a thought in my offer of postponing the match and give a rest to his body. He seemed more interested in an activity which he told me he is ashamed off but clearly the enthusiasm he showed today says otherwise.

Why would he even fight when he tells me only do it when he couldn't take his anger. The anger in him wasn't there since he told me about his past life. If there was definitely by now I had become a little target of it but he wasn't belligerent. Infact he was exult and playful until today. Sure he didn't fight with me but then why would he go to that place? What's making him go there?

I stop thinking about it once I arrive to cafe. I walk inside and greets by Theo. The only person I see if somehow I go early or he choose to work late. He passes me a smile when I offer one. He leaves the cashier counter and fill in for waitressing when I stop him.

“Uh if you don't find can I take orders today?” I ask.

I don't feel like to stand in one place and have my mind run with stupid thoughts. I need something else before the clock struck eight. As if on cue, my mind start to think about the possibility of finding Liam here just like I told him to be.

I shake my head. Not now.

“Sure no problem.” he shrugs. I thank him and take the small notepad and a pen with me. I attend customers as many as possible to keep myself busy. I think I over did the job too much considering at one point, Audrey pat my shoulder as a thank you and made herself situated in corner with her phone.

Jake asked me if I am on some kind of pills or get blessed by a secret powers of super energy. I just roll my eyes in return and make him serve the customers. A man in his fifty with some colleagues enters inside the cafe and I take their orders. They're having a meeting, discussing about shares and firm.

The scene suddenly reminds me of Dylan. It's been quiet long since I last called him and never got any response. He must really don't wanted to talk to me. I felt slight sad because the reason he distanced himself was due to how Liam punched him. I wish I could just at least apologized him so my conscience would feel less guilty. But guess I will never have that chance now.

I take the orders of business men table and came back again with their food and drinks. I continue to do it till my legs felt a little cramping and I sit down a bit. Audrey takes my place and I place the generous tip I got from that rich people at the back of my phone cover.
