It's been half an hour since Belerick arrived at the cafe, but Matteos's eyes are still glued to him. "He's so pretty, right? Imagine a Summers, In. Our. Shop!" Sahara said. "Shut up! He'll hear you! Be cool, damn!" Matteos said blushing heavily. "Just go talk to him, he's been here for thirty minutes now, and ordered three drinks already!" Sahara said, pushing his little brother a little. "What's up with you today?! You're annoying as hell. Thank god, Eliz and Dad's not here yet." Matteos said, his eyes widened as he and Belerick's eyes met, and signaled him to come to him. "Oh, look he's calling you! go! go! go!" Sahara enthusiastically bumped his little brother towards Belerick. Matteos, wiped his nervous sweaty hands on his apron as he approached Belerick.
"Hey."
"Hi, Again, I'm sorry." Belerick said as Matteos stopped in front of him.
"Yeah, no, don't worry about it, the next rush of customer's gotta start at 6, what's up? who're you waiting for anyways? You've been here half an hour." Matteos asked.
"Yeah, I'm actually meeting up with someone here, but I guess he is running a little late for some reason." Belerick said.
"Yeah? Sorry about that." Matteos apologized
"It's fine, you've been really nice and you drinks here are also amazing, this are really good!" Belerick said tapping the cups in front of him.
"T-Thank you! Well, I mean it's not as good as your drinks!" Matteos shyly said.
"Don't say that, this maybe as good." Belerick started. "Anyways, can you point me to the restroom? I kinda need to use it." Belerick continued.
"Oh, it's right there, the right one." Matteos said pointing Belerick towards the bathroom at the left back part of the shop.
"Thanks." Belerick said as he stands up and went to the bathroom.

Eliz completely forgotten about his meeting with Belerick. Now, with Anastacia in a cab, he suddenly remembered it and panicked, their supposed meeting time was almost an hour ago, so he decided to just take Anastacia with him back to the shop, give her to Sahara so she can be cleaned up and get a change of clothing while he talks to Belerick about the job, which he already accepted earlier through Ross. He thought about it all night, and decided to give it a go, not only for him but for Romeo as well, for them to get a good boost at starting their own business together, and he can't deny it any longer, this break is what they needed, plus, that part of seeing Belerick almost everyday isn't as bad either. Belerick. He remembered, he wondered if he's already mad at him, it's embarrassing.
The uber driver snapped him from his daze, informing him their at their destination already, making him jump. he quickly went out of the car with Anastacia cradled besides him. They made their way inside the coffee shop where Sahara stared at them, here eyes side, her jaw on the floor. "What the hell happened to that chick?! Ugh." Sahara said. "Oh hell no, no! You can't expect me to clean that mess up!? Hell no!" Sahara yelled as she read Eliz's mind and reasoning at why she took Anastacia here. "Come on! I'll make it up to you!" Eliz begged her.
"Eliz?" Belerick said fresh out of the bathroom.
"Belerick?! Hey, how long have you been here? I'm really sorry!" Eliz said his eyes almost pleading for forgiveness.
"Wait, you're meeting my brother?" Matteos said in shock.
"Yeah, We meet a while back at the expo." Belerick said. Matteos eyes dart from Belerick to Eliz to Anastacia, there's a hint in his eyes that he knows what's happening now.
"Can you please take her now, please? Just take her clean her up." Eliz said as Sahara approached him
"What happened to her? She reeks of booze, what the hell girl?! Matteos, hey, help me out here." Sahara said.
Matteos threw Eliz a subtle glare before they disappear to the back of the shop counter.
"Watch the shop for us for a while." Sahara said.

"I'm so sorry! I really am!" Eliz said, trying to wipe the sweat off of his face with his shirt.
"Here, take this." Belerick extend his arms to give him a handkerchief.
"Wow, thanks." Eliz took it and starts wiping his sweat off.
"That's two handkerchief now, you should really think about buying some of your own." Belerick said smiling at Eliz.
"Yeah, that'll be my number one priority, i'll buy some after my first paycheck." Eliz said, making Belerick laugh a little.
"So, you took the job, thank you and congrats. I'm happy." Belerick said
"You brother aready told you huh." Eliz said.
"Yeah, there are hardly no secrets between us, so." Belerick explained.
"Yeah, and it's frankly because of Romeo, he would annoy me to death if I didn't take this, this could be the boost we need for our business together, and also, you, you put out a good word for me, so I couldn't possibly refuse, right?" Eliz said, the afternoon light making Belerick's already blushing face more profound.
"Your work speaks for itself. I was actually here for a different reason." Belerick said.
"What is it?" Eliz asked leaning in towards Belerick.
"Well, I, um, I wanna invite you to my birthday party, it's still down the road, but I just want you to know that I want you there... I mean, you can come if you want, I mean as the newest part of the company. You know." Belerick said
"Yeah, yeah! Absolutely, I'll be there!" Eliz said.
"Okay." Belerick said shortly his face red now.
"Yeah." Eliz said.
"I-uh, I guess that's that! I-uh, See you tomorrow then, for your first day." Belerick said standing up.
"Yeah, yeah! Oh, um, do you need a ride? Or?" Eliz said.
"No it's okay, there's my driver out there. Thank you, see you tomorrow Eliz. Belerick said bowing slightly before making his way out of the shop.
----------
Eliz was stunned, smiling from ear to ear when Matteos strolled back.
"Hey, big brother?" Matteos asked.
"Yeah?"
"Can we talk?" Matteos said, his face stern and serious.
