A Concealed Passion

Evelynn's pov.

      So! Ryan has been placed in San Francisco. Yes, I'm absolutely exhilarated for him. He's been diligently waiting for this opportunity all these years. But.... How can he just leave me like this and go? How rudee?! Even if we are just in cousin terms, he would've told or atleast informed his cousin. So, am I not even in his closest circle? Then why should he even talk to me?

Idiot, stop over thinking. Just now he recieved the offer letter, it's barely 2 hours then, thanks to my very sweet and open hearted Al, who tells every detail that reaches his ears. Wait for  rest of the day. You just look, he'll call you with that 'excited mode' on and he'll literally yell in the call about the dream of his existence. Wait, Good things take time.

There is no point in lying all day, thinking about him. Get up, engage yourself idiot.

I got up, refreshed and wore mild make up for the beautiful day ahead. Since today is Saturday, school is off. So I'm heading to the café. Yes, I'm working here in part time and also overwhelmed that I found my angel here. Just kidding, she's such a devil. Jude, my one and only best friend works here with me.

The first day when I joined The Blue's café, I saw this wierd creature brewing delicious coffee ( coffee is always delicious, not that she brews well, lol). As the usual ambivert I am, I myself didn't start a convo. But she is this; jolly jolly type (I loved that). And then eventually everything fell into place. She spoke to me the very first day, we found that we go to same school (seriously I haven't seen her at all), and finally we are friends happily ever after. Hell no, I didn't know she is such a leach (In a comical sense).

I went in wearing a 'happy child' face, to not bother Jude the very first minute of meeting after one long tiring day. Because if I go in like a limp octopus , it'll spoil her whole Saturday mood and she'll start comforting me for the whole day. But no, I should've recalled that she was only psychic to me. And obviously she'll know when I'm over acting. The first thing she asked was 'what happened?'

Finish. With a sigh, I started pouring every single detail from morning. She listened to me patiently for a good 15 minutes at a stretch (yes, she's a good listener). She blinked twice after I was done. And I know what's coming next!

After a whole day of session from my personal therapist, I returned home with somewhat okayish mood. Mum greeted with a happy face as she never fails to perk me up. Neither will I disappoint her. She always insists me to be social, and especially spend some time with her. We always have our daily dose of quality time together.

After a little amount of chortle, little amount of delicacies, and quite healthy amount of squabbles, I returned to my bubble. This is a entirely new world from where I usually live. I purposely didn't check my mobile to keep up the work attire. After hours of stalking Ryan's social media, I fell asleep with the mobile in my hand.

I woke up to the buzzing in my hand, it was 4'o'clock in the morning. Now I get to understand the uncomfortable sleep I had all through night, I fell asleep in the single couch in a wierd position. Annoyed to the repeated buzzing, I looked at the mobile.
In fraction of seconds forgetting that I'm never a morning person, I sat up straight with chills down my spine, staring at the buzzing shit. The unexplainable name popping up the screen ,

"Ryan✨".
