- It was my best chocolate cake ever! - he cried with satisfaction.
We were sitting in the terrace of the little pastry shop. We just finished our cakes, and now we were sipping our coffee. From the terrace we could so far away in the street, and quite enjoying the fact, that unlike the others, we can have our time without doing anything in particular.
We were talking for a while by now, and we realized how much common topics we have. It was like we have knew each other for a long time. We just couldn't run out of topics and funny stories, that we shared without any shame. He just finished eating his slice. I've already finished mine a few minutes ago. Now I was playing with a napkin. Why? Maybe because I don't like to watch other people why they are eating. It disturbes me, when somebody watching me, so I have a feeling that the others don't like it either. It is beacuse of that, and because I have this little habit you know. I always have to play with something when I'm talking. A pen, a piece of paper, a rubber..It doesn't matter as long as I can do something with it. Now the napkin was my victim.
-Right? They make the best cakes in the whole city!
- Just in the city? In the whole world. But the company gave at least as much of the flavor.
-I have to admit that I had quite fun too. I didn't expect at the morning, that I will have such a great time with you today. - As it slipped out I knew I shouldn't say something stupid like it. I looked at his face. For a moment he was shocked, but he changed his expression soon enough to make me unsure about it, and put a goofy expression into his face.
-Oh M'lady! What a surprise. Well not like anybody could get ready for the wonderful Markiplier, can they?
-Sorry, I really shouldn't say that. It's just...Well, you know..The first time we met,
-It wasn't really a good start.
-Yeah, I mean, no it wasn't. Maybe this is the best way to say it. It's just that..how to say it..
-That I was a douchbag?
-Yes! I mean No! You weren't.- He raised his eyebrows.- Okay, maybe. You were? - I said unsure making him laugh loudly. - Hey, it's not funny.
-I was a douchebag, I know, and I have already regret it for many times. Maybe we both have our prejudices against each other, and maybe neither of us was right. But I really hope that we can go on with it and make a fresh start.
-It would be great.
-Yes, it would be. But for it I would like to ask you something.
-Sure, what is it?
-Please don't try to be polite just because you are my hostess. I mean I'm quite sure it's part of you duties, but I wouldn't enjoying myself knowing, you cannot be honest all of the time. I don't know... It would be so fake.
-Okay, I would do it gladly. However, then there is something I have to tell you.
-Oh my, are you a cyborg?
-What? No! - I laughed. - I know I have asked you a lot about Five nights of Freddy's, but to tell you the truth, I don't really like this game. So if you don't mind I would skip that talking about it and introducing me the game thing, we were talking about. I mean if you really would like to show me I would watch, but..
-Oh, thanks God.
-You couldn't be that affraid of me being a robot, could you? - I laughed – Did you expect me to tell you something worse?
-Kinda. Plus I wouldn't like to talk much about it either. You seemed intreseted, that's why I suggested if you change your mind I still show it to you gladly, of course.
-Okay, now I'm surprised! I thought you like this game.
-And I really do, it's just I get famous playing this game and now everybody bond me to it. Interviews, collab videos or something like that, it doesn't matter...nearly all of them mention it, or about this game.
-It could be tiring.
-It is. I mean I like that game a lot and I know I have a lot of viewer because of it, but I'm tired to be the silly FNAF guy.
-I see.. So that's why you change direction too? I mean the way of choosing the games, or doing other kind of videos,
-Yes and no. Maybe it's because I have changed, and other things started to became interesting for me. Plus living together with Matt and Ryan gives us a lot of oppurtinity to make videos we have never made before. We are working in a big project right now as well.
-I look foward to see it. But I bet I will like it.
-I think maybe you will be one of the first ones who can see it. - he smiled at me, then he said with a feigned rigor - And I dare you not to like it! And don't laugh at me!
-Of course I do if say it like that.
-M'lady you gonna regre it! - he continued with the grumpy vocie, and we both burst out in laughing. When we have done with the laughing I started to reach for a new napkin, but he hold my hand. I looked up at him, and he just stared at me smilingly with warm eyes. I couldn't help but smile back and lost in his eyes.
A few moments passed when the alarm bell rang in my head:
'You can't do this! He is a customer! Peti will be really mad!'
But that moment I didn't care. Not about Peti, not about the whole work thing. I just wanted to enjoy the moment with him. But I couldn't hash away the alarm bell as far as I would like to do it, it just went on.
'Be reasonable. He will be gone in a week. What do you expect from him?'
Hushing this one was a lot harder. It was so hard I couldn't do it. A week? We didn't have even a week anymore. I'm only playing with my job.
I don't know what face just I made for these thoughts, but suddenly he released my hand. When I looked at his face he looked worried, studying my face frowning.
-What's wrong?
-Nothing! I mean nothing important.
-So what's wrong? It was because..
-No, no, no. It just an exam. I forgot about it. Not a big deal, really. - When did I became a liar?
-I see. - he sounded like he wasn't believing me. Well, he shouldn't. - It does sound important for me. When will it be?
-Tomorrow. - Stop lying!
- Then I think we should go. I haven't planned to stay away for such a long time either. I hope I didn't bother you much.
-No, you didn't bother me at all. And I really don't want to ruin this day. I did have a great time. I hope you too.
-It's good to hear it. And it's okay really. I do have fun today to, but I think we really should go for now, I think. I'm also pretty tired, and you have to study for tomorrow.
-Okay, then I take you home.
-Sounds great.
