Chapter 3 - Hello

It's been a month since I meet my beloved but I still don't have the courage to approach him. Now I am on my way to the café where my beloved have his breakfast every day which is near his school and I am determined to introduce myself to him. It's been a week since I found him and I get to know where he is staying and knowing well his schedule every day. NO I am not stalker, I did followed him home the day I met him and following him to school the next day.

After a week following his schedule I notice that he don't use the same route to school, some time he use the long way which I don't understand or maybe he just like to walk. The only things that consistent is the visit to the café nearby his school. He always there for his breakfast. I wonder why he doesn't have his breakfast at home. I don't think it because he woke up late as he always go out early from his house don't get me wrong I am not a stalker

So I always wait for him here or come a minute after him, but I am still curious of why he didn't follow the same route to school and I also notice that there are always potential danger at the route that he avoided. He is human it's impossible for him to know about the danger unless he is gifted like seeing the future? Hmm I don't have any idea, unless I asked him. I can sense him wherever he were so that's why I just waiting at the café so I can see him. I don't want to follow him like a stalker.

When I arrive at the café I go to the counter to buy coffee and muffin, he already here at the café I can sense his presence. I look around for empty table after I get my order, arghh.. No empty table the only free seat available is at his table which is a table for two. YES fate is with me today I realize that I this great opportunity for me to talk with him. With wide smile I walk to his table.

"Excuse me.. are you waiting for someone? Is just that all seat are occupied so i wonder if I can seat here if it's available?"

"No.. yess.. "

"Huh? You are waiting for someone?"

"Sorry sorry I mean no I am not waiting for someone and yes you can sit here"

"That's great! Thanks "

I reply with smile, ahhh he is so cute with soft voice and a nervous smile and he is blushing….Calm down heart.. Come down.... breath in breath out…. I try to calm my frantic beating heart while patting my chest.

A...aa. are you alright?

Even his Stutter is adorable.. Gosh I just make a fool of myself, ehem ehem (fake cough)

hmm sorry I am okay, it just my heart a is beating fast and I am trying to calm myself

huh wa.. why?

Because I am seating in front of adorable you... I said with wide smile

Ohh Whaaattt… did I just say that out loud, this is so embarrassing and I don't want him to be afraid of me but at the same time I really want to be honest with him, I need him to know how I feel. Arrgh.. this is stressing me out I am straightforward person. But don't want to scared him

He is so Adorable even his ear turning pink, He is really bad for my heart.

"I am sorry if I scared you, actually it's been for month when I saw you here at this café and I have instant connection with you and I like you. That's why I keep coming to this café just to see you. But don't have courage to approach you. Do you perhaps have girlfriend or boyfriend? "

Eli lost in this thought after hearing what the person say.

Here at this café that I first saw him but to be honest I sense his warmed presence at the library last month, that's day I don't think there is anything unusual about it because I don't feel any negative vibe from that. So on the next day when I come to my usual café to have my breakfast near the school. While sipping my coffee I sense a familiar warmed feeling and when I look up and I saw him for first time my heart stopped beating for 2 second and then I feel so excited like I am meeting my long lost lover. The next day I come again to the café hoping that I can bump into him again and yes there he is with his glory self. since then I never failed to come here at this café just to get a glance at him. He always come alone. I usually come here twice a week that's when I am lazy or wakes up late and unable to prepare my breakfast.

I try my hard to not obviously staring at him and i definitely not making eye contact I don't want to lose him before I even say hi because all the people that I met will stop talking to me and stay away from me because of my weird ever changing eye color. Huh but I am staring at his dark brown eye nearly black now. ohh nooo.. while i am lost in my thought i am unaware of my action. I shut my eyes and bow my head while chanting don't leave don't leave please don't leave in my head I don't even remember what he is asking me the last word that hear is that he like me. I feel that even my ear tip is red from embarrassment

A knock on the table in front of me bring me back to reality.

"Hey there are you alright? Did I scare you? Sorry should I go? Slowly I open my eyes and look at him"

"y.yo You are still here?" I whispered

"Hmm what do you mean by I am still here? Do you want me gone? Don't worry I just take away my food. He said with a sad face and slowly standing while gathering his food"

"Noo... Please don't go, I am sorry I.. l lost in my thought. People always stay away from me when they see my eyes".

Lucifer lent forward while staring at Eli eyes. "Don't worry I love your eyes it's beautiful"

"You don't think it's weird?"

"No is not, for human maybe but for me it's not weird at all its normal" "don't you worry about that I am not going anywhere, so I can sit here right? I would like to have breakfast with you and get to know you more"

" yes you can sit here" i say and i can't stop a smile forming in my lips. For whatever reasons i feel content

we continue our breakfast with silence while occasionally smiling with each other. we don't talk much but a warm feeling in my chest keep me grinning like an idiot (facepalm). His name is Lucifer and he is 24 years old. he asked me to have breakfast with him tomorrow
