In such a good spirit to enjoy my read today, i visited my favourite Cafe, famous for it's good calming atmosphere for working and relaxing. Not many people to be seen today since its working hours. 

While flipping through the crispy pages of my newly brought book i paused for a quick thought.

As a romance drama reader, i expect to find my perfect fit for a partner in a reader. who enjoys the same feel in reading his favourite books beside me on a comfy sofa, on a good Sunday. Rather than taking me on a hectic theme park.

Julia, my bestfriend. The most outgoing and optimistic person i have ever met, seriously. She shows concern whenever i tell her my type. Well, i like peace, I shrugged.

Today, my mission is to find that perfect fit for me. Yes, holding my favourite novel in hand, sitting with that concentrated book reader vibes, i am waiting to see if destiny has an appointment for me today. Or not.

I usually don't go out to a cafe to read since it's not that peaceful with those clinking cup-plate and chatter noises. But for today's mission, i looked around a lot to find this place to be the most quiet out of all. Yes, this cafe is my favourite. From today onwards that is.

But seems like, my plan is soon coming to a dead end, as it was impossible from the start. Life is not fictional after all.

*Clink*

As i was thinking, My attention diverted towards the front door, that was finally beingㅡwide open, by a bunch of guys.

I didn't made it obvious that i was looking. Just peeping few glances secretly. 

Is there my prince charming in that hurd of guys? NO. extroverted people are a no-go from the very start in my dictionary. Just a few glances and you can tell, they are the heartthrobs of their territory, radiating the summer heat through their worned out flesh, after a match of basketball. 

GEEZ, i guess this is the final signal from god. i started to pack my stuffs to leave in disappointment.

"Guess it's gonna be another night with a new book." I said, while humming a melody, only i can hear with that volume. I was already done with the book i was reading while waiting for a miracle.Ok Finally ready to move. Off we go to the book store -!

While getting up, i stumbled. 

Did i fell? No. With the blessings of Will from heaven and my new shoes.

But to my surprise, there is a figure halfway through the air, ready to catch me. Right at front.

I glanced out of my -0.5 specs to grab a glimpse of this figure's face. A warmed-skinned, jade green eyes, messy pitch-black hair with a build body in a player jersey. Not the best description i would say, but i am not a writer.

We both stood up while staring through each other's soul. "Don't start a staring contest with me kido. I will haunt you in your nightmares." i spoke with my eyes. But Damn he sure is tall. I can hide behind him while hiding my exam results and nobody will notice.

"Is this yours?" He broke the silence stare between us.

Huh? did a bookmark of mine slipped out by any chance??? I glanced down in speed. "Oh." It's just that old hanky i carry around. Its pretty worn out tho, i don't mind even if you burn it, afterall it's a present from my ex. Don't get me wrong, no strings attached. Just a huge cheap stake i am.

"It's not mine." I replied nonchalantly.

He slightly flinched. And again back to normal.

"I see." Slightly sad, he threw his most gentle smile at my poor heart. Evil. What if my heart had stopped couz of you?

"Can i have your name, lady?" 

I flinched hard. This caught be totally off guard. After a pause, i uttered,"Why?"

This time he was caught off-guard.

I felt Victory i don't know why. With the pause he took for processing a good answer, i took my chance and tried to leave. 

"I am interested in you. Now can i?" He said.

Dumbass sure didn't understood what just happened.

I was not that bright as a student but it didn't took a genius to figure it out that he was interested. 

"But i am not." I said the words straight this time, and left.
