『Ichigo's POV』
A customer requests a dessert or cake, I take the order, and along comes a cute pretty little dish topped with Keiichiro's finest treats which they take more time than necessary to consume.
Like Kisshu, right now.
"I'm sorry but it looks like you'll have to leave."
I don't think I've ever sounded this impolite before, but boy was I glad the cafe was to be closed in a few minutes. "The cafe will be closing shortly."
"In that case, I'll go when you do."
Kisshu had only drunk half of his vanilla, banana and chocolate milkshake in about a span of three hours. Talk about slow.
"I am dismissed until an hour later after the cleaning is done, so tough luck."
"Then you'd better hurry it up so we can leave together!"
Does this boy ever give up..?
"Fine. I warned you" My eyes narrowed into two tiny slits with pupils feeling as if they've turned cat-like. I spun around on my heels and pulled an annoyed face which he could not see, the tips of my hair flicking in the air as I did. "But don't expect me to save you when the manager kicks you out for good."
Actually, we maids at Cafe Mew Mew had no manager as the only one doing most of the controlling around here was Ryou. But I would never dare to speak of it.
I began hastily walking away from the highly irritating customer and, looking all around me as Lettuce and Zakuro piled the empty warm chairs on top of their designated tables, noticed he was the last.
As always.
Just five steps forward and I thought I could make it to the kitchen without being pestered again. Unfortunately, his next action caused me to skid to a halt, stopping in the middle of my tracks.
Kisshu slurped on his milkshake at way too high decibels, so blimmin loud that I could actually picture the yummy bits of banana and chocolate flakes being sucked up along that fat green straw. A slam was made on the table as he made it certain that he had finished.
"Oh, Ichigo!" He sung my name like a merry hummingbird calling for love and admiration. "I think you left this behind."
My eyes twitched and lips tightened with embarrassment and anger. Seriously, couldn't he just get his lazy butt off the chair and throw it in the bins or bring it to the counter himself?
I think not.
Containing my dislike for the usually last customer into the compactness of my two tightened fists, I sucked in a huge deep breath and bravely turned around to face him. I smiled with a smile we both knew was fake.
"Of course, how silly of me.."
I unwillingly swayed back to the table and leaned over more than half of it, one hand supporting my weight as I suddenly snapped at the glass and snatched the milkshake away with screwed lips. "Now leave."
His flaming golden eyes flickered with curiosity and somewhat cunningness. Just before I could straighten up and flee to the kitchen in the safety of Keiichiro, he suddenly held grip of my bare arm and squeezed on his firm hold.
"You're not going to leave before giving me your number, are you?"
My eyes glued their vision onto his golden irises as if its mystical gorgeous hues had the power to hypnotise me. They never once blinked as they stared deeply into mine; I gulped feeling pinned to the table, heart and mind racing for rescue.
Someone please save me before I melt from his dazzling gaze.
"I just, umm.. I uh..."
I was not going to deny it, but let's just say that his handsome face so close to mine could probably be the highlight of my day. My cheeks heated up as they turned a rather rosy-red colour.
"Well, then... You have one?"
"NO." I stated more louder than intended and coiled backwards as quickly as possible. It was pretty darn obvious I was answering his first inquiry.
Clenching onto the glass unconsciously tight and spinning around before I get lost in his eyes again, I marched out of the main serving room and into the kitchen, where I should belong rather than being a stupid waitress.
I daren't look back at Kisshu.. or else I don't know if I could ever walk straight again. Just the recap images and still-living memories of his beautiful eyes in my mind had distorted my human functionality already – I walked away with fast but steady steps.
Something like a snicker or smirk made me speed up faster.
Dear God I hope someone tells him to go..
There's a lot of dialogue, isn't there? Well, I'll try my best to improve description-wise because right now my mind is blank and I basically... um I'm too lazy heheh. XD
But I promise the next chapter will be even more fun/fluffier!
Review for sooner update..? :3 Byeee!
