Chapter 2

After class ay dumeritso ako sa pinapasukan kong cafe', it is located near at the University. Cashier ako doon.

"Hi,"

Lysander greeted me as I enter inside of the cafe'. I greeted him back and go to my assigned place.

Lysander is the epitome of charm and sophistication. With his chiseled jawline, piercing brown eyes, and perfectly styled hair, he effortlessly steals hearts wherever he goes.

But what sets him apart is not just his striking good looks, it's his profession as a barista that adds an extra layer of allure. As he expertly crafts each cup of coffee, his muscular arms flexing with precision, he exudes a sense of passion and dedication that is irresistible.

With his warm smile and charismatic personality, Lysander, creates an inviting atmosphere where coffee lovers find solace in our cafe. Whether he's recommending the perfect brew or engaging in captivating conversations, his magnetic presence leaves everyone longing for more.

Beyond his physical attractiveness, Lysander's genuine kindness and genuine interest in people make him the epitome of a modern-day heartthrob, leaving no doubt that he is not just a handsome guy, but a true coffee connoisseur who leaves a lasting impression in the hearts of those lucky enough to cross his path.

Napangiwi ako. Masyado naman syang puring-puri sa isip ko.

"How's your day?" tanong nya. Sumandal sya sa counter.

"Okay lang," tipid kong sagot habang isa-isang tinitignan ang mga naglalabas pasok na mga customer.

Lysander is an ex-suitor, but we end up in good terms. Kahit pogi sya, wala eh, hindi ko talaga type. Tsaka ayoko munang lumandi habang hindi pa ako CPA.

Natatandaan ko pa noon ang reaksyon ni George nang sabihin kong binusted ko ang lalaki. Kulang na lang ay sabunutan nya ako habang sinasabi na wala akong karapatan mang-busted ng gano'n kagwapong lalaki dahil maliit raw ang boobs ko.

I was in the middle of my monologue nang may lumapit na customer. Sumulyap ako kay Lysander na nakabalik na sa nakatukang lugar sa kanya.

"What is your order, ma'am?"

"Isang cappuccino at blueberry cheesecake."

Nilista ko ang order nya. Inulit ko rin ang sinabi nya to make sure na tama ang nailista ko.

"300 po lahat, ma'am."

She handed me the 500 peso bill at mabilis ko naman iyong sinuklian. Lysander hurriedly prepare the cappuccino for the customer. And Vivienne, one of the cafe's crew prepared the blueberry cheesecake. Sya na rin ang nagserve ng order sa customer.

Naging napakabilis ng oras, nang pasadahan ko ng tingin ang suot na wrist watch ay pasado alas-nuebe na. I moved my head in circular motion para mawala ang pangangalay ng leeg ko.

Isang oras na lang out na ako. Napapalakpak ako sa isiping iyon.

Nilibot ko ng tingin ang paligid ng cafe'. Madilim na sa labas at mangilan ngilan na lang ang nakatambay na customer.

Bumukas ang pinto ng cafe' at iniluwa mula roon si kuyang driver na muntik na akong mabangga kanina.

"Kuya!" tawag ko. Kumaway ako para batiin sya. "Ano pong ginagawa nyo rito? Crush nyo na po siguro ako kaya sinusundan nyo ko, 'no?" biro ko nang makalapit sya sa counter.

Tumawa si kuya. "Palabiro ka talaga, ma'am."

"Naku! Wag mo na po akong tawaging ma'am, Liele na lang po. "

"Kung gano'n, tawagin mo na lang rin akong kuya Nyx."

Tumango ako bilang pagsang-ayon.

"Nga pala, bakit po kayo nagawi rito? "

"Ang totoo kasi nyan Liele, gusto raw magkape ng boss ko."

Dumungaw ako sa likod nya. "Asan sya?"

"Nasa loob ho ng kotse."

"Pogi ba boss mo kuya?" tanong ko. "Reto mo nga ako." biro ko.

Narinig ko ang mahinang pagklaro ng lalamunan ni Lysander. Inirapan ko sya. Papansin ampota!

Mahinang tumawa si kuya Nyx dahilan para muling mabaling sa kanya ang atensyon ko.

"Ano kuya? Lilibre kita ng kape basta reto mo ko sa boss mo. G?" biglang may pumasok sa isip ko. "Ay kaso wag na pala, baka matandang panot na kulu-kulubot ang balat tapos pangit pa ang amo mo."

Ang kaninang mahinang tawa ni kuya Nyx ay unti-unting lumakas. Nakita ko naman sa gilid ng mata ko ang bahagyang pag-iling ni Lysander.

Everyone's attention caught when the cafe's door open, a figure of undeniable allure stepped into the bustling cafe, instantly commanding the attention of everyone present. Towering above some of the customers, he possessed a statuesque presence that seemed to radiate confidence and poise. Wrapped in a meticulously tailored business suit, every inch of fabric hugged his toned physique, accentuating his masculine charm.

His face, oh, his face was a work of art. Chiseled and sculpted to perfection, it seemed as if each feature had been meticulously crafted by the hands of a divine sculptor. High cheekbones framed a strong jawline that could cut glass, while his full lips held an irresistible allure. His eyes, however, were the true windows to his soul. Deep and mysterious, they were a mesmerizing shade of piercing cobalt, drawing you in with their magnetic intensity.

But it was the way he carried himself, the way he moved with the grace of a panther, that truly set him apart. Each step exuded confidence, as if he held the world within his grasp. And when he looked at you, even for a fleeting moment, it felt as if time stood still. His gaze, like daggers, penetrated your very core, leaving you breathless and yearning for more.

This man, with his captivating looks and commanding presence, was more than just handsome. He was a vision of perfection, a walking masterpiece that left a lasting impression on all who were fortunate enough to cross his path.

shit! mukhang hindi lang yata santo ang luluhuran ko.
