"Hot chocolate and plain milk. Just the way you had asked, sir."
And the waitress lowered the tray on the table, interrupting the moment they were having in between.
"Thanks!" Morpheous said politely, with a warm smile on his face, but Caroline could tell that he was way too distracted.
'Why does he have to smile so nicely?' She wondered and watched the waitress leave. 'She is so not getting her tip today!'
Thinking about the sultry smile that the waitress gave Morpheous, Caroline absentmindedly picked up the hot chocolate, and even without blowing once on the surface, she took a big sip.
"Ow… Ow… Ow… "
That piping hot chocolate scalded her lips and tongue in a second. She immediately stretched her hand to pull a few tissues to spit the hot chocolate out, but he got up and placed his palm under her chin instead.
"Spit it!"
