Sniff...Sniff....I threw another one to the pile of tissue forming beside my bed.

I pause the episode of Florescence got up, went towards the washroom to wash my tear stained face. I tried to open the door, but that door is more f-up then my life. I went backwards and lunged myself to create momentum and hit the door open.

Thud...I went inside, turn on the leaking tap and started splashing cold water on my face, with random thoughts going around my mind.

Why Jane and Harry parted their ways? If they had sticked around they might have found a way to deal with the situation. Is someone loving you is not enough to stay?blah.blah

I took the hand towel to damp my face dry, while my mind wandered towards the main lead of Florescence Abel Luciano. My first elementary crush, we were classmates back then. When puberty was knocking on all of our doors, with zits, cramps & weight imbalance.

Abel was one of those creature, on whom puberty Bloom while on others it doomed. His body started to show more muscle, his voice was like melted chocolate so he became sight to see basically....but we never knew that our classmate would become so famous Teen-Actor.

It's been almost five years since I saw him, as soon as he got casted for his first role he moved to L.A. And we lost our sight to see...hehehe

I heard my phone going off, it was showing name Cherylyn.

"Hey Kera, how are you?" Cherylyn's voice chirped

"I am good. You say, what's new happening and please don't say anything about your bedroom adventures" Cherylyn is three years older than me, as she took drop from studies due to her economical condition. But now she is in much stable place with her boyfriend Holden, TBH I think they are "The Endgame".

"You don't want to know, but it might come in handy, when you dream of your Abekins" Cherylyn tries to tease me, our friendship is like this from the start.

"I know you're a call away so if I need your help, I will call you" I remember the day when we first met, I was reading some articles of Abel about him casted for some comedy drama. I was so engrossed, that I never knew someone sat besides me. She out of nowhere asked me "Wanna marry him?" which made me jumped on my seat, but we both laughed so hard on that and we became inseparable since then.

"Yep you can. So I called because, Zodiac called me saying your were not taking his calls
.
.
.
hey, you there? "

"OMG yes he called me last night and in the morning too but unfortunately both time I was asleep. And then I forgot about it" How could I forgot something like this!!

"It's fine it was not sooo important, it's just he wants to talk with you. So you better call him."

"Yeah sure! Lemme call him and I'll talk to you later, love ya Cher."

"Okay, love you too K. "

I unlock my phone and went to missed calls, I called Zodiac and waited for him to answer.

"Hey McHale, You got free now?" He is Sarcastic, means he is pissed.

"Zoe....I swear, I kept forgetting to call you. Where are you? lemme make it up for you." I used my cute pleading voice, which I know he can't resist. 'evil'

"OK...McHale no need to seduce me, I'm at the cafe you work come over, and dress pretty I have a surprise for you, see you soon" He cut the line, before I can ask him anything more.

Without thinking much, I dashed towards my little cupboard. I fetched a outfit, which I thought would be pretty and decent for cafe.

Picture 1

I let my shoulder length-hair as they were, just combed them little. Applied lip balm, and put on some mascara. At last, I sprayed some light scent on my wrist and rubbed them against each other.

I collect my phone, house keys and some bills. I checked once again that window and light were off.

As I opened my door, I froze on my spot seeing my landlord blocking my way out "What do you want?" I asked him, as I'm irritated by his sudden visits now. Two weeks ago previous landlord, this scums mother died peacefully after living for 103 years. Since then this scum aka new landlord is paying sudden visits at random times to random apartments, and it seems like today is my turn.

"I'm doubling the rents, just thought to inform you personally, cutie" He said while showing off his slight yellow teeths

"What are you out of your mind? How would I pay that much amount!!" This is absurd.

"Listen, my mum was not taking full rents before. But now as the owner, I have right to demand what I want. If you don't want to pay then clear this place by week or pay the rent within 6 days" He banged his palm against doorframe and took off.

I sighed, and started to walk towards the cafe, it was 5 minutes walk.

I pushed the door, I was welcome by the fragrance of coffee beans and sizzle & buzzle from the customers.

Tracy waved me, we hugged and I asked her if she know where Zodiac is. She said that they were at the first floor, I thanked her and marched upstairs.

'They?'

Picture 2

As I reached above, Zoe called me. I took steps towards him, as I walk nearer, I noticed someone sitting opposite to him, with back faced towards me. As I reached at their table, before I can see who is that other person Zoe attacked me with his hug. "God I missed you!! You made me worried when you didn't picked my calls" He then kissed my forehead.

I laughed at his over-exaggeration "What will happen to me, I am black belt in karate I know how to kick people's butt" On that I heard a husky laugh which made me turn towards the source of it.

Picture 3

And there he was, sitting like his is untouchable, carefree, Almighty....and sexy as devil himself. His sharp, defined face was shinning due to bright golden light above the table. A huge smile was drawn on his face. His eyes, were hidden behind those dark glasses to hide his identity. But I don't need to see his eyes to recognize him. Oh Abel Luciano you will be death of me one day....
