Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

Chrom have taken a couple of orders and headed off to the kitchen. As he heads out of to the front of the shop to bring back the order. As he gives the costume's order to them. Chorm noticed a woman smoking at the front of the cafe. Chrom started to head to the backroom to call his brother.

"Hey Cheren, I have to ask? Do you know your Aunt's whereabouts?" Chrom asked.

"At the moment, no. She is said she will be here in a minute; she just needed to get something." Cheren stated.

Jennifer walked into the kitchen as she noticed Chrom on the phone. Jennifer tapped his shoulder; Chrom turned to her gave her a nod and worried look.

"She is right in front of the cafe. Come right here and help me avoid this situation." Chrom wanted.

"I will try to get there, but I don't think I will get there in time," Cheren stated.

"Alright, then see ya." Chrom ended.

Jennifer smiled. "So, what was all that?"

Chrom averted his eyes, " Well, one of Cheren's family members are around to visit. She does not like me that much. She is in front of the cafe at the moment."

"I can help you with anything. So you need to avoid her, I will help the best I can." Jennifer smiled.

Chrom smiled. "Thanks, Jennifer."

Jennifer nodded as she held her note pad and started to write notes.

"First thing is first, we need to give you something. Like a face mask, most people wear masks when one is sick that can help!" Jennifer stated.

Jennifer left the kitchen, leaving the Chrom alone. Chrom waited for Jennifer to come back. Chrom grew bored and made some sandwiches that are on the menu. Jennifer came back with a beanie and a face mask. Jennifer dressed Chrom up, she fixed the hat and mask. Chrom stares at her with happiness as he watched Jennifer covered his face. Chrom's tail could not stop wagging from the interactions.

"There you are now covered. Not even I know you." Jennifer smiled.

"Well, why not get to know me. My name is Chrom Gray, and you are?" Chrom joked.

Jennifer laughed as she pushed him back to work. Chrom laughed as he turned to the woman he was trying to avoid. Her dark amber eyes icy stare toward him, dark curly hair that reaches her neck, tan skin, cat eye, smokey eye makeup, with cherry lip gloss. She wore business wear clothes. She breathes, and clothes reek of smoke.

"I will like to order coffee with sugar."She said.

Chrom nodded "Right way,"

Chrom started to work on the order as the woman sat down to watch Chrom every move. Chrom moves slow, hoping not to mess up. As he finished the coffee, he places the coffee cup in front of the woman. The woman grabbed the coffee and took a sip.

She smiled at Chrom, "Nice job."

She paid for a cup of coffee as he left the cafe. Chrom gave out a sigh of relief as she left. He kept the mask on and hat on as he took more orders. Jennifer brought some sandwiches out for customers. Sayuri cleans off tables and collected tips. Chrom made more coffee for customers. Cheren ran in the cafe looking for Chrom. Chrom, shocked, walked up to him, took off the mask.

"Cheren something up?" Chrom asked.

Sayuri noted Cheren walk in and wave to him shyly. Cheren places his hand on Chrom's shoulders.

"No, I was looking for Jessica. You said she was here, right?" Cheren stated.

Chrom nodded. "She was here an hour ago to order a coffee."

Cheren looked disappointed as he left the cafe. Chrom turned to Jennifer and shrugged his shoulder as he when back to work. Jennifer walked up to Chrom with a worried look.

"What that about?" Jennifer asked.

"Cheren's Aunt is in town. She is a very bold woman, I know. He does not like me at all, which brings me to a bad mood when I see her." Chrom stated.

"So she prefers Chreen and Mana?"Jennifer asked.

"Indeed, she does not like me since I don't really belong on the DNA family tree," Chrom asked.

Jennifer places her hand on his head, gently petting him. Chrom, surprise, did not move and let it happen. Sayuri watched it unfold as he pulled out her phone. Sayuri took a quick picture and went back to work. Jennifer placed her hand back and went back to work. Chrom smiled and does the same. As time slowly past the cafe was closening to close. Jennifer places chairs up on the table, and Chrom sweeps the floor. Sayuri cleans the countertop and coffee makers.

"So, Chrom, are you single?" Sayuri questioned.

"Yes, I am single; why did you ask?"Chrom asked.

"Oh well, nothing, I just wondered if you had a sweetheart by now," Sayuri smirked.

Chrom looked concerned about what Sayuri said; he ignored her and kept working. Jennifer rolled her eyes as she finished stacking the chair.

"So are you two free tomorrow? It's a day off." Sayuri asked.

"I thought we work on that day?"Chrom asked.

"No, on weekdays, everyone in town stays in late. So we open later in the day." Jennifer stated.

"Right, I remember your telling me something about the weekdays. I wanted to hear for myself when he reaches Friday."Chrom said.

"So yeah, are you guys free tomorrow?" Sayuri asked.

"Yeah, I am free," Chrom stated.

"Same here, I am free," Jennifer stated.

"Great, cause I am not. So enjoy your date." Sayuri smirked.

Jennifer's face was filled with shock, her face then turned to disgusts. Chrom tail stopped wagging as he stared at Jennifer than at Sayuri. Till Ross walked in to break the silence.

"What happened here?" Ross asked.

"Hey, are you free tomorrow?" Chrom asked Ross.

"I am free, why you ask?" Ross asked.

"Great, you are coming with us to hang out." Chrom grinned.

Sayuri's look of glee disappeared when Ross jumped on the date she have prepared for Jennifer. Sayuri walked out of the room. Chrom chatted with Ross about what they can do as Jennifer jumped in the conversation.
