...

I thought I had forgotten her. I thought when I found out she chose someone else before me, I could let her go. I think this feeling from seven years ago will dissipate in time. But, I never expected to see her again like this. She was still cute and beautiful when I saw her walk into my office. And even though it's only limited to being here with me, she can still make my face blush and make my heart flutter. But in the end, I had to feel that feeling again, being rejected. When I found out that she chose to work with other people and did not choose to work with me..

"…ea..Chelsea.."

"Huh??"

"Are you okay?"

I look at the person who called my name and who asked my feeling. In front of me sit my two ex-housemate from seven years ago. Alicia Greene and her soon-be-girlfriend-again who also my first love from seven years ago, Taylor Jones. Maybe from both of them, they still call each other an ex, but I can see their gazes as they look at each other, full of love. And it will only be a while before they are together again.

"I am fine. Sorry, I didn't hear what you said, Alicia"

"Are you really okay? These few days, you always daydream"

"I am fine. Don't worry"

I answered their questions with a smile so that they would not worry about me. It's nice to know she's worried about me, but when I remember the reason of it only because I am her best friend, it really sad.

"By the way, we want to go to a restaurant for dinner after work. I asked Kaira to join us, but she refused because she made a promise with her girlfriend. So, would you like to join us? "

I hesitate to answer quickly. It will make me like a third person if I go with them. Even though I love her, but I don't want to steal my best friend's girlfriend, and when I knew that they are both meant for each other. I gave them a smile in response and shook my head.

"I'll pass for today. I still have something I must do"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. You two enjoy the dinner, okay. I'll go first"

"Be careful"

I look at her who gave me a warm smile like seven years ago. Even though it's been a long time but she still shows that she cares for me, but I know it's no bigger than what she showed Alicia. I smiled back at her and left our company. It's not like I have anything I need to do today. I feel bad for lying to them, but I can't help but imagine how close they were when I saw them having dinner with me. I got into my car and decided to buy coffee before I left.

"This is your Mocca, ma'am. Everything is W2.000. Thank you ma'am. Please come again"

I took my coffee when I put my wallet back in my bag. But when I turned around, I accidentally bumped into someone I didn't know when was standing behind me. Not only did my coffee fall and make my clothes wet but the same thing happened to the man in front of me. I saw him trying to clean coffee from his white clothes.

"Look what you have done !!"

"I-I'm sorry"

"Sorry ?? Do you think sorry can make my clothes clean like before? I came here to buy coffee, but because of you, I have to go back to my house and change clothes"

"I'm sorry. Please let me be the one to pay for your coffee before you leave"

"What ?? Do you want to buy coffee for me?"

"Yes. You can order as much as you want. I'll pay for it. That's the last thing I can do because of what I did for you."

"Hmph. I guess because you said that, I can forget what happened before "

I closed my eyes and took a breath at his words. I was relieved to know that this problem did not get bigger. But before he turned around I saw him grinning at me, like an evil grin that made me think everything was his game. His right hand and left hand are full of plastic filled with coffee. He ordered not only two or three coffees but six coffee. It wouldn't be wrong for me now to think that he was just faking it all this time. But, I don't want to cause more trouble in this place. I just want to go home and sleep until morning comes again. I took my purse back from my bag and stopped when I only felt someone holding my hand. I saw a girl who I believed was the same age as me but taller than me. For a moment our eyes met each other before she turned to look at the man.

"I believe you are the one who was wrong in here, sir"

"Huh?!? Who are you suddenly came out of nowhere"

"Only a worker works here. I saw you walk into our cafe earlier, and only this woman is lining up to wait for her coffee. That means your path is wide open, but you chose to walk close to her. "

"So do you want to say I was pretending all this time ??"

"Yes"

" What !!! Where's the proof, huh? "

"Our customer here is my proof that you want to lie to her"

Without hesitation she answered the man. Even when the man's body was bigger than her, she didn't show any signs of fear. Perhaps because all eyes were on him, the man slowly retreated and fled. But before he could step out of the door, an empty barrel flew up and hit the back of his head, knocking him unconscious.

"Sigh ... you did it again, Alex. If this always happened, I would never make a profit"

"That's why I said to hire security"

"I don't think anyone would want to hire a security guard to supervise their little cafe like this. If my cafe got bigger, maybe I would think about it "

"I'm sorry. But I don't mind paying for everything. This also happened because of me."

"You are very kind, ma'am. But you don't need to be blamed for what happened. Let's let us give you free Mocca in exchange for your fallen ones "

Not waiting until I gave her a response, she moved back to the table and made a new one for me. After a few minutes, she gave me a Mocca and a teddy bear key chain. I looked at her with a confused face.

"As our apologies"

I just gave her a nod, and walked out of the cafe. The reason I went was to get one mocca coffee but I felt like I spent my whole day there. With a sigh I got into my car and returned to my apartment.
