"One caramel Frappuccino, please."

Xavi Pravo's voice is light and kind. It doesn't match his intimidating and menacing aura, and he doesn't look like someone who drinks Frappuccino at all.

My gaze remained to his face; he looks younger in person. 

"Skyla, Frappuccino daw." Bulong ni Leah mula sa likuran ko. Siya kasi yung gagawa ng kape.

I smiled again to Xavi, "Right away, sir."

I can feel my knees shake while his voice seems kind and relaxed. I can't shake the dangerous aura he brings.

Ginala ko ang mga mata ko sa dining area. May ilang mga estudyante na nag-aaral, ilang business men, at ilang mga casual diners.

Is he alone?

Tinignan ko muli ang ilang customers. Mukhang si Xavi nga lang ang nagpunta dito. Hindi ko masyadong narining ang usapan ng kausap niya sa cellphone kanina.

I wonder where Aksel and Bowie are. Ayon kasi kay Detective Michaels ay madalas magkasama ang tatlong Capo ng Costa Mafia.

I find it hard to believe that Xavi is here for coffee. Ano kaya ang pakay niya? Is he meeting someone close to the area kaya siya nandito?

"How much?" He asks coolly. Xavi's now back on his phone and scanning it.

I stared at him again, trying to memorize his features in my head. "That would be 190 pesos."

"Hmm," ani niya. Nilatag niya ang smartphone niya sa counter habang kinukuha ang wallet niya gamit ang isang kamay. Binigyan niya ako ng 200 pesos.

"I received 200 pesos." Kumuha agad ako ng sukli para ibigay sa kanya. "Sir, 10 pesos for your change."

Hindi siya nagsalita agad dahil ang atensyon niya nasa smartphone pa rin. He then lifts his gaze to meet mine and replies. "It's fine. Keep it."

I nodded, nilagay ko sa ang ten pesos sa tip jar. I can feel him watching me and I tried my best not to shake. He's intimidating in a scary way, but I'd say his eyes are amazing.

Tinaas ko ang mga tingin ko para tignan siya then I noticed that it's not me he is observing, but Leah.

Hindi ko alam pero bigla akong kinabahan sa mga tingin ni Xavi para kay Leah. Why is he looking at her?

Leah then finishes the drink. She hands the tray to Xavia with a full smile, "Hello, sir. Here's your drink."

Kinuha ni Xavi ang tray mula kay Leah at nagkita ko kung paano nagdaplis ang kanilang mga daliri. He winks at her before sitting at the table where Ivo sat yesterday.

"Omg, Skyla! I'm getting married!" Leah exclaims in my ears.

I rolled my eyes at her, "Baka lahat ng babae kinikindatan niyan."

"Hindi, Skyla. Pakiramdam ko special yung wink na iyon. Para bang sinasabi ng mga mata niya na 'can I get your number?' Di ba?!"

Using my index finger, I jabbed Leah at her left side. "Sa gwapo ng lalakeng yan? I'm sure may girlfriend na yan. Wag ka na umasa, Leah."

She frowns at me, "Yeah, probably. He's out of my league. Doon na lang ako sa kaya ko abutin, but it doesn't mean na ititigil ko ang pagpapantasya sa kanya." Leah wiggles her eyebrows at me.

"Ay naku, Leah. Ewan ko sayo! Ikaw na ulit mag-cashier dito. Pupunta ako ng storage room. Kukuha ako ng tea kulang na kasi yung nasa cabinet."

"Oki doki!" Yun lang naging reply niya sa akin habang nakatitig pa rin kay Xavi.
