" Oh My Gosh! Look who is here!" A middle-aged woman, probably at her 40 to 50, a brunette, wearing a flour-covered apron, yells and approaches Leona. Wiping her forehead with a tissue as she is sweating profusely, she scans Leona with loving eyes." Where have you been? Do you know how much worried I was?" Her voice cracks, as she pulls her into a tight hug. The hug contains concern, love, and care for this pitiful girl who always visited her to have lunch within a few minutes. " I am sorry, Ms. Erica." She mused, hugging back. Surprisingly, Erica doesn't make her feel frightened as much as she feels around other people. " Brat! You are fine that's everything. Come here. Sit down. I will bring your breakfast!"Erica Swift is the owner of this diner, Erica Dines. With a cheap price, she sells great food. But with one condition, if you are here to have lunch or dinner, you must prepare them by yourself. They will only serve you breakfast. The rest of them are self-service." No. No
" We cooked faster than we thought it would be." Vasquez sighs as he finds out that they have finished their cooking before lunchtime. It's kind of disappointing as, the food they have cooked together, does look delicious and an evidence of the significant moment that they spent together.Leona grins, seeing his arched brows. He is disappointed and sad over the matter.Instead of saying anything, she walks out of the kitchen and goes to Erica who is helping other customers who don't know how to cook.Meanwhile, Vasquez looks at the food, Most of the time, Leona was the one who helped him to cook. So, practically the taste will be the same as Leona's cooked food. Curious, he takes a spoon and sips a little bit of Mushroom soup." Should we take them home? Is it possible?" He mumbled, keeps tasting the food." Mr. Vasquez!" Leona stands next to him, wearing a beautiful tender smile on her face. " Leona! Should we-?"" Ta-Da!!!" His eyes go to her hand as she holds a huge wooden lunch
" Next time, Let's come here with everyone. I am sure they will love this place!" Leona speaks, as they ascend the wooden staircase which is attached to the street. The rhythm of their footfalls with the hissing sound of wind, create a beautiful melody in their ears. " Hmm." Vasquez's silent response forces her to pause and look at him. His eyes raise to her. Getting his entire attention with an amazed. Her dress is dancing with the wind, her eyes are sparkling with the fallen afternoon, and...The sound of his heartbeat is disappearing into the distance between them. She looks ethereal. Like a strong magnet, she is attracting him. His heart is swatting against them, complaining why not just hold her hand and touch her lips, why not just tell her that he is having a breathless situation? He wants to hold her and say... She became his world now.But he is afraid of something. Something which is holding him inside." Mr. Vasquez! Is everything okay? You are pale!"Her touch against hi
As he promised, Vasquez stops the car in front of the supermarket where Leona is standing alone while making circles on the ground. The frown on her face is giving him a hint of worry. The eyes are puffy, corners of them are red. The way her back is leaning forward, he can feel her exhaustion." I brought your school uniform. Leona!" His gentle voice echoes in her eardrums, making her raise her head. He walks forward, with a shopping bag. The backpack is on the back seat of his car." You are here, Mr. Vasquez!" Her eyes spark with happiness and instead of watching him walking towards him, she runs and hugs him tightly.His hands raise, seeing her embracing him with a strong grip. His expressive eyes are on her with red cheeks when she nuzzles his chest and moans with excitement. " Mr. Vasquez is the best human being I have ever met." " What happened? You are being so sweet suddenly. Did you do something behind me?" With a grin, he hugs her back, stroking her hair gently. How can
" Dearest! You must be sad that you can't go to school!" With a coaxing voice, Madam Anne embraces Leona with love and care. All the employees here love Leona so much.Leona snuggles, with a soft sigh. The pain in her heart is no joke. " It's fine. We will help you best prepare for your exams." Madam Vina places some candies on the table and grabs a chair to comb her hair." Aren't you two getting busy with her? She needs to take some rest!" Butler pushes his glasses up and speaks. After hearing that she won't attend the classes, They are worried about her mental situation. She must be happy. So, Butler can't help finding himself being worried as well." Shut up. Butler. Can't you see Young Miss is so worried about her study? Look at this face. Can you see her dark circles? She is working hard! If she stays alone now. She will feel lonely." Anne Groans at the Butler who sighs being defeated.A soft chuckle escapes from her, attracting everyone's attention. Leona laughs loudly, seein
" Where are you?" Her voice cracks. so does her heart when she questions her boyfriend through her phone about his whereabouts.Sophie who never surrenders to anyone, today, is asking her boyfriend who she loves more than anything, about his whereabouts." What do you mean by where I am? Of course! I am at my house!" Seth's reply brings a sense of disgust, annoyance and irritation. Those mixed emotions are distinct in his voice." Seth! I am questions again. Where are you?" Sophie said, chewing her bottom lip. Her eyes are red-rimmed with the salty water that has gathered in the corner of her eyes. " What the hell is wrong with you today? You never asked where I am! Are you now trying to control me or something?" Seth roars as his important job is being disturbed by her, his girlfriend." Can't I ask you as your girlfriend?" She keeps her voice as calm as she can be. Her cold gaze is staring through the glass wall. Her eyes are shaking yet in front of her cold, strong demeanor, they
*Did I confess at the wrong time? She was crying and didn't even dare to speak! I thought I would confess my feelings perfectly. But I was overwhelmed by her tears and got scared. Damn!!! I shouldn't have...*" Young Master! Leona prepared the food for everyone. Please enjoy!"Vasquez's gaze shifts on Vina who serves the food on his plate. And then shifts to Leona who is blankly staring at the plate. His eyes shrink with a squeeze in his heart. Leona's worn-out gaze doesn't love, and so do her eyelids. They are fixed on the plate with no motion.His hands clench with pain, guilty and cursing himself for rushing things. He should have waited for a perfect time to confess his feelings. He overdid. " Excuse me. If you don't mind, can I ask something? I am a little curious to know!" Avery who is impressed by Leona's cooking, looks at Vasquez and then Vina who is serving the foods." Sure!" She replies with a smile." Is Leona Mr Parker's fiancée or girlfriend? Please don't get offended.
" Who was that?" With lots of curiosity, Sophie rests her head on her arm which is on the table getting supported. Her unfocused eyes are on him, drunkenly staring at him to hear his part of the story. However, her eyes get bigger, when Aaron chuckles lightly, looking directly into her eyes. " You are drunk!" He said, reluctant to talk about his stupid past." Trying to change the subject! You know my secret. You should share yours!" Sophie insists. Her eyes are showing more interest in his words. " I don't have any past record to share!" He said checking his phone. " I have those men who lie although they can't lie properly. It's fine. I am not that shameless to force Someone to share their problems. I gotta go. Please excuse this O.L.D Lady!" She stands up, holding her purse and phone. Clearly, he shows no interest in his personal matters." It was my first love who I dated for a long time. Almost ten years probably. From high school to college... She is a doctor like me!" He
