Chapter 6-The Meet

      "He wasn't the type to lose his sanity over a girl, but eventually he did!"

The black Mercedes Benz moved over the slightly wet road at a fast speed making its way roughly through the gusts of wind. Kevin was driving the car himself. His right hand was holding the steering wheel firmly,  his experience apparent the way he was handling the car at such a speed. His other hand was engaged with his phone, eyes searching for something, fingers swiping up and down the screen until he found it. His previously concerned face became gentle as he found the desired information.

The details of the cafe!

His full lips  stretched into a smile as he moved the gear and drove even faster. He knew she'll be there at this time. Mr.John had already provided him all the detailed information about her. His eyes were fixed on the road but her thoughts occupied his mind. Her face appeared before his eyes, he felt different, a strange spark within his body, a weird sensation in his heart. Her very face crumbled his peace. He couldn't forget the spark he felt just from a mere touch. He was somehow captivated by her presence.

Screechhhhh!!!!!

He pulled over the brakes once he saw a figure near his desired cafe. Kevin's eyes rested on a figure, a girl covered with many layers of clothes, bigger than her size.

It was her!

Excitement rushed through his veins as he saw her. He's staring at her through his car's tinted windows. Everything was visible as the car was a few steps away.

She was sitting on some steps near the cafe, playing with a kitten. He could see her clearly, every expression of her face, her eyes full with adore as she caressed the kitten that was on her lap. Her hand rubbed the kitten's fur gently while her lips curved upwards forming a beautiful smile.

Breathtaking indeed!

He felt her heartbeat halted for an instant, the moment she smiled. It was strange! He shouldn't be feeling this way, he never did before!

Few strands of her hair escaped her bun and caressed her cheeks. With her left hand, she removed the hair strands, her eyes fell on the black Benz that was parked near her. She felt as if she was being watched but shrugged it off as she couldn't see anything due to the car's tinted glass. She caressed the kitten one last time and stood up jerking the inappreciable dust from her clothes. The clothes she's wearing made her look younger as they're hiding her deadly tempting figure.

His eyes were fixed on her smiling face, there's something in her that was pulling him towards her even though she's wasn't doing anything but he felt the pull, it was there.

'Who the hell dress like that these days?' He wondered. The way she hid herself was strangely bizarre for him. He never came across her kind. He's always surrounded by girls trying to get his attention with their exposed clothing. According to him, every woman is just the same beneath the clothes then what's the point of covering?He's sinful indeed!

She moved ahead, pushing the small metal door, Emma made her way inside the small cafe. Kevin's eyes followed her until she disappeared and he tilted his head back on the seat. A sigh left his mouth as he closed his eyes, her very face came in his sight again. All the moments of yesterday where she tempted him to the point he's about to lose control. His body shivered once he remembered what effect she had on him yesterday. Her scent, her scared voice when he touched her, her fast breathing, his grip tightened on the wheel as he could still feel the effect she had on him.

He wanted her!  He wanted to have her!

However, the flashes from a while ago disturbed him even more. Her innocent face yet that smile that pierced right into his heart. She seemed so young and innocent in front of his sinful desires.

She's young, very young indeed, a six years gap between them, which was huge as he always preferred mature and experienced women but still, he was dangerously attracted to her and he didn't know why?

How his taste changedall of a sudden.He banged his hand on the steering as he found himself entangled.

The door swung open, grabbing the worker's attention as she entered the cafe's kitchen.

Delicious smells welcomed her. The cafe was strangely crowded today and there's a lot of work.

She's late again!

Greeting her colleagues, she made her way to her friend.

"Good evening Jimin! I am extremely sorry for being late again," She spoke, voice laced with concern.

"Are you late? No, not at all. This is your time now Emma. You always  come at this time, so in a way, you are on time sweety." He replied smiling, playfulness visible in his aura.

Jimin, Emma's working buddy and friend. Like Minah, he's also aware of her never-ending issues and he respected and cared for her. Emma's decency impressed him a lot.

"I'm sorry!" She apologized once again, tone firm this time, she's embarrassed as she mostly got late and Jimin always covered up for her.

"Forget it, it wasn't much Emma. Now hurry up and do the orders I'm sending. We have much work to do today otherwise that boss of ours will get angry." He scoffed and ordered her in his professional way with his eye smile that brought a smile on her face as well.

She's troubled but never showed that to others. She's fighting with her worries, alone not letting others know the broken girl that resided inside her.

Emma changed into her work attire and started doing the orders. Jimin had already done a lot of work which she had to do. Emma did the remaining and moved to help Jimin.

"I'm done with mine. What else?"

"Well, Lily left early today, can you..."

"I'll do it." She cut him off, as she already knew what he was about to say. She's feeling bad since she's late and Jimin did her work too so she agreed right away.

Her hands grabbed the notepad and she made her way outside to take the orders. One after another, she covered all the tables well.

"One last table left." She mumbled as she eyed the person sitting at the far end of the cafe. Making her way, through the people she reached him, her eyes fixed on the notepad as she asked.

"What would you like to have?" She said while her pen ready to note down.

"You!"

Her head moved up in an instant on the bizarre order. She was left dumbfounded. Her doe eyes widened and she frowned witnessing the man.

"Pardon?"  She asked again not believing something like that coming from a person like him.

"You," He paused, eyeing her for a while studying her face which got stressed once he spat those words. It was actually her, which he wanted.She's his desire which came out.

"You here? " His tone was laced with playfulness as he spat those words and changed the topic.

"I w-work here." She stuttered a bit, still shocked by his words.

"Ah, nice." His lips had a smile all the time as his eyes were scanning her nervous face.

Emma was not okay knowing how she rejected his proposal today.

"What would you like to have?" She asked again, trying to ease the environment.

He wanted her only, but there's something in her that was different and refrained him from doing something inappropriate to her. He wanted to take things slowly. He liked her in a strange way but he's not certain. The intensity of her eyes was deadly, her eyes showed her soul.

"Espresso!  That's it..."

"Coming your way." After taking the order, she moved away quickly as she found everything bizarre.

His eyes were glued on her disappearing figure. He wanted to know her, inside out.  He had indecent thoughts about her but the scene he witnessed a while ago affected him in an unusual way. She seemed precious.

After a while, his order was brought to him but it wasn't her.

"Your order Sir." The male said as he put the things down.

"Excuse me, where's Emma?

Jimin was taken aback from his casual tone and sudden question.

"Sorry?"

"The person who took my order, where's she?"

Jimin found it extremely weird. He couldn't stop himself from bursting.

"Why are you asking though? Here's your order, please enjoy your meal." He left after saying those words in a bitter tone. He didn't like how another man was asking for his friend. He knew rich lads like him, he didn't like the desperation in Kevin's voice.

"Bustard! " Kevin murmured finding it rude. He could've shown Jimin his damn place but he didn't want to create a scene in front of her.

Meanwhile

"There's a man asking for you Em... Do you perhaps know him? Jimin asked voice laced with concern. He didn't like the fact the way that stranger asked for Emma.

"Who?" She asked dumbfounded.

"The man at table 15... Do you know him?He was asking for you? How come he knows your name?"

"Him? Um....not re-eally,why are you asking though?" She stuttered a little. This left her a little shocked. Emma realized she told  him her name yesterday but it was strange that he remembered it.

"I met him at the school function yesterday. That's it. He's the special guest there."

"Ah, okay... "

"Well, he was asking for you just now," Jimin said in a firm yet unreadable tone while doing his work.

"I'll see that!" She said as she made her way outside but found no one.

He's gone!
