I got reprimanded by my colleagues as well as the manager for leaving the coffee shop in a rush. They were quite worried for me, the moment I dashed out of the shop to follow the customer and give the purchased order to that person.

Some of them were even teasing that the reason why I acted in that way was that I fell in love at the first sight of him. Some ladies around my age were fantasizing about Sky since he indeed has great facial features.

His natural ash brown hair color, his golden-brown orbs adorning his eyes like some sort of mysterious jewels, his pointed nose which makes me feel small for some unknown reason, and the veins that popped out of his fair-toned arms.

My girl colleagues squealed by themselves as they described Sky's features which were only inside my head at the moment. I shuddered at the sudden thought, so I shake my head to get rid of those rude and perverted thoughts.

I could be considered as an adult but still, I am too young for thoughts like that. Aside from that fact, I have matters that are more pressing to tend to in this city than matters such as love life. I have to focus on saving up as much money as I can while I am staying and working in this city before I think about the issues of the heart.

After a few years, it wouldn't be too late for me to find someone I love and to spend the rest of my life together with. I can do that at a much later time compared to the urgency of the issues at my hand.

I can be selfless for a few years for my parents and family that I left back in F City and afterward, I can find the man I am willing to devote myself to. The thought of having a man of my dreams by my side in the near future excites me. This only strengthened my resolve to work earnestly and saved more money.

We then get back on the track and worked hard for the rest of the day. Despite getting reprimanded by the manager for acting carelessly; since I forgot to take off one of my uniforms which is the hat, I got myself in trouble since I was running around wearing that as if I am waving to others that I came from this coffee shop; I still got praised by the end of the day for staying positive and enthusiastic all throughout our shift.

By three in the afternoon, our shift has finally ended. We didn't encounter any problems so everything has been easy for all of us. The manager decided to close the shop earlier than the scheduled time.

For now, we are just cleaning up the coffee shop since we are done for the day. I volunteered on watering the plants that were displayed in front of the shop. There was a variety of plants ranging from flowers that are ornamental, to plants that have other purposes like mints. 

Since I lived my life surrounded by nature specifically plants, I have certain knowledge as to how to properly take care of different kinds of plants. Normally, plants do not live by getting drowned in water. However, some plants need lots of water to survive displayed in the shop.

There are a variety of different colored Irises in front o the shop that ranges from colors of blue, purple, white, and yellow. There is also a flower that is called Trumpet Creeper that was hanging near the walls of the coffee shop. This type of flower should be maintained properly on a fixed schedule since it is highly invasive if not controlled properly.

I also trimmed the bushes around the shop to make it look more elegant and pleasing to the eyes, especially for the customers. I do hope that by doing something like this, it will suit the customer's taste and aesthetics, and if possible, they will also promote our shop to the people they know through word of mouth.

After a job well done on the plants, the manager assigned me the task of tending to the mini garden and the plants that serve as decorations for the coffee shop. This task will be done by me alone and if ever I do need some help, I can ask the others around.

I will be managing everything that is related to this specific area since I do have the expertise for doing this task. I guess you can say that living in the boonies helped a lot in making this opportunity possible.

I asked the manager if I can possibly add a few more plants that will serve as some kind of hanging garden inside the coffee shop as one of the interior designs. She gave me a thumbs up and even gave me a budget so I can buy anything that I deemed suitable for our shop.

Although I was hesitant at first, I gave in after my colleagues encouraged me to take the black card from our manager. "I'll make sure to use it wisely," I assured the manager as I bowed politely.

She dismissed me after handing over the black card. I even asked her if she has anything for me to buy on my way but she told me that there's none. I bid my colleagues farewell and since Raya is the only person I know in this city, I asked her to guide me around and come with me.

Raya with her beaming smile agreed to the favor I asked of her. We left the coffee shop and immediately went to the bus stop. We waited for a bus to arrive and we then boarded the bus. Soon after, the bus departed.

This was the first time I was able to sightsee around S City. The last time I was in the middle of the road, I wasn't able to look around much and appreciate my surroundings because I was too preoccupied with having a place to stay and getting a job. I didn't even notice that I haven't eaten yet at that time because of the same reasons.

The road ahead of us was well maintained and is made out of stone. There are pretty street lights in every twist and turn of the road. The elegant-looking buildings look competitive against high-rise buildings that seem like they can reach the sky when you reach the top.

A wide variety of businesses and shops are also present along the way. Although they look so common, there is still this elegant aura around those shops that is only present because this city is the wealthiest.

I want to purchase a variety of bright colored tulips since it is for sure, will serve as a great eye-catcher to gather prospective customers' attention that is passing by the shop. I also want to buy some plants that will be suitable as a hanging garden.

We got off the bus when we arrived at the flower and plants shop that Raya knows about. She told me that there is a lot of choices to choose from in terms of ornamental plants in this shop. Aside from that, they also offer discounts for buying lots of products from them.

The bell chimed as soon as we entered, and we were entertained by one of the florists of the shop. He looks kind and cheery as he accommodates us and answered all of our inquiries. He really is a huge help for us.

After purchasing the ornamental plants, I saw a tiny succulent on the deepest corner of the shop. Despite looking unattended, it still lives beautifully until now. I usually compare myself to succulents since I do not really need a lot of attention and care, but still, I continue to live on.

Although I was eyeing the little succulent on a small pot, I do not have the money to purchase it. "Hey!" Raya called for my attention since she was already at the front door waiting for me. I looked back once again to the succulent as I smiled to myself.

We then boarded a taxi as we left the shop. I hope that little succulent will soon have its owner who will cherish it just the way she is. Despite the sharpness and its uniqueness, I sincerely hope there is someone in this city who will appreciate it as it is.

    Raya and I decided to bring the kinds of stuff we purchased to work this morning. We might not be able to make it if we want to go back to the shop yesterday because the manager decided to close the shop early.Right now, Raya was the one who made our breakfast. It was because she insisted on doing so since I was the one who prepared our breakfast yesterday. Although I refused her proposal a few times, she was persistent in making our breakfast, so I had no choice but to do as she say.I woke up at the same time as Raya so while she is busy making breakfast, I decided to take a bath. With this, we may save more time in our morning routines and get to the shop much earlier than before.We have to move quickly so as to not waste time, since we also have a lot of things to bring with us. One good thing about the coffee shop where we work was the fact that it was a few blocks away from the manager's house. It makes it easy for her to arrive at the shop as early as possible especially if o

    The four seasons have passed since then, and another Spring has come. This means that my 21st birthday is now coming quickly. Days that I spent here, then turned into weeks. Weeks to months, and months to years. Three years have passed since the first time I got to know Sky.Now, our relationship has made a huge leap. We consider ourselves as something more than mere acquaintances. The two of us have a relationship similar to that of closer than friends but less than lovers or something of the like.Right now, I am about to ask him for a meet-up since he seems troubled for the past few days whenever he visits the coffee shop to buy his coffee. He looks like he is in a daze and when I try to talk to him and ask him about what his matter is all about, he would only look at me as he is in deep thought, and he will also respond to me much later than usual.For the past three years, I got to know his usual temperament. When he answers his phone to talk with his clients, about anything rela

    “I have a big problem that can change my whole life. And I will be needing your help about it,” is what he said. Although I am totally confused as to how I can possibly help him.I am willing to help Sky with regards to his problems if I do have the means and capabilities to do so. That is exactly what friends are for. But what could be the reason as to why I am the one he needs for help? What could possibly be with me that can help him in his situation?How can I possibly help him in any way when I do think he is way better than me in many ways than one? As I said before, he’s way better off than me. Why is he asking for my help? What’s the reason behind this?For days, he seems so out of it. I noticed his sudden change in behavior even before, but I never pried too much about it since I do not want him to feel burdened. Now, he’s confessing to me about it and even asking me for help, but I do not feel too happy about it.First things first, I have to hear all the details about it an

    ‘Why am I here? Where am I? Who am I?’ A variety of questions popped out of my head the moment we arrived at Sky’s luxurious-looking modern house. I feel so small when I get out of his car and arrived face to face to this huge house of his.Sky was the first one to leave the car and as soon as I got out of it, the driver took it away somewhere, though I was too busy fawning over the house that I didn’t get to check where the car went.I hesitantly followed Sky and went inside his house together with him. As I continue to tread down the path, my palm is beginning to sweat profusely; even my forehead is starting to produce beads of sweat across it. My nape and spine feels so cold as if a chill went down from it.My heartbeat is also beating louder and faster than ever. I was about to regret my decisions and change my mind when Sky looked back at me with those loving warm gaze. This look gave me courage to pull this decision off.On one side, I want to help this man but refuse to give up

    The two of us were like two ends of a magnet that keeps on attracting one another. In every push, there will be a certain force pulling us to each other.I even got to know a part of myself that I didn’t know I have with me for all these years. An untamed beast that was caged deep within me. And that same beast was freed all of a sudden just because of this man topping me off.He’s making the beast in me go wild as he touched every inch of my body. The skin that came in contact with his hand felt hot the moment they made impact and it gradually felt cold in an instant whenever his hand left its touch.His eyes were focused on my delicate body. There came a point where he is rough and gentle at the same time as he handled me. As we reached our climax, I hugged him tightly as shivers covered my entire body.The night was painful since it was my first time giving up my chastity. Despite the feeling of pain, a considerable amount of pleasure and peace lingered deep within me. As if the be

    My heart almost stopped beating as I held the door open with shivering hands."Jeez us" I cursed the man in front of me. "Why on earth would you ring the doorbell of your own home? Don't you have any key to use? Or a spare key hidden somewhere in the front door?"Sky smiled sheepishly as he looked at me and scratched the back of his head in an awkward manner. I calmed my self as I crouched down to my knees.This gave Sky some time to spare a good look at my whole being. He looked at me from head to toe. With my wet dishevelled hair, loose long sleeves that I wore as some sort of dress as it was slightly sliding down my smooth shoulders, and my exposed slim legs.I also noticed how he took a quick peek at my chest that was only covered by his long sleeves, with no bra or anything.

    I decided to send him off by the doorway. "I'm off to work." With a frigid expression and awkward manner, he waved me goodbye.Before he can even take a couple of steps away from me, I ran after him and gave him a back hug."Take care Sky," I said and ended my goodbye with a small kiss on his cheeks. I dashed off right after before he can even process and react to what just happened.With a victorious grin, he went inside his car before it took off.

    Days passed but Solenn and I remained awkward to each other whenever we bump into each other at the coffee shop where she works at. It was usually because our faces will blush intensely as we stare at each other's eyes.I always remember our hot and passionate endeavours during our nights together. Though I am not sure if she's just the same as me. Our bodies and personalities clicked to each other. Even our desires matches which is why we always remain busy at night.But despite that, we arrive at work fresh and energized. It was as if the two of us are fully charged for work. My colleagues noticed the sudden change and glow in me and are starting a weird rumor. It was only circulating around some certain departments saying that I am already planning to settle down with my lover, and what-nots.It's partially true though. I just don't have any idea as to who started it. And it is highly impossible for Jeff to do it. Though he loves to hear gossips, he's not the kind of guy to make an

    The room was filled with momentary silence as soon as my phone stopped vibrating. It was as if there were crows cooing on the background.Everything went in a flash and he was the first one to see the notification. It must have been a message.Although Sol can contact me anytime, she probably won't be calling me since she knew that I'm at work. Even texting me might have bothered her so much while pondering if she should or should not. That's just how sweet and understanding Solenn is."Ha! I knew it. 'Not what you think' my ass. This just proves my suspicion. You were just about to deny it a second ago. Now, it's proving what I thought itself." He smugly announced.I want to rip that smug look on his face. "So ... what did she say?" I asked.There's no point denying it any further than now. If he wants to, he can even make a personal visit to my house at this very moment under the guise that it is something important and no one will suspect him for that, except for me.He comes and g

    SKY'S POVWhile I was at work, I kept on thinking about Sol. Her smooth bare skin. That silky hair of hers. The flowery fragrance of her shampoo and body soap with the smell of alcohol that struck my nose the moment I got closer to her.Oh, how I loved the feeling when I caressed her body under my touch. The way she shivers whenever I lay my hand on her.Her supple breasts which bounces off every time I moved together with her. Her slim waist that fits perfectly on my hands. Even her hole down there which clamped on my manliness whenever I thrust at her.Her sweet alluring voice that moans my name. Goodness. Just thinking about it makes me so aroused. I can feel my junior getting stiff inside my pants.I heaved a heavy sigh for me to calm myself down. The loud sigh I made must be heard by my colleagues since all of their bodies tensed up all of a sudden. It was as if they were moving around me depending on my mood."Is ... is there something that does not reach your standards, Mr. Pre
