I arrive at the parking lot of the coffee shop. Through the transparent glass, I see Melissa and Anna sitting in front of each other. They look like an actual couple, sipping coffee, beaming and stealing glances at each other. They look so sweet and hot at the same time.

Melissa maintains her seductive stare at her. She really does love Anna and I could see that from the way she looks at her.

After a few seconds staring at them, I notice an old couple looking at them like they have done something wrong, but to Melissa, it's nothing. And it's even more romantic because Melissa doesn't really care what people think about her.

I think I already know what she's thinking at the moment, lovers gonna love, haters gonna hate, homophobes gonna... die? I mean, she's rude, what? She could be capable of homicide.

Anna doesn't even care either, since she's on her phone now, probably texting someone.

But before I enter that coffee shop, I have to rehearse my flirt lines. I slightly pout my lips and fix my frizzy hair. "Hey, Melissa, you look hot today. Wanna make out?"

Ew, was that me?

I cannot do this. But whatever, I'm really scared of Melissa. She might bite me... or tell everyone about my shaved eyebrow... or call me boogie again.

Okay, I'm ready.

I got out of the driver's seat. I have no idea how to throw dirty lines at her. I just continue walking towards the coffee shop. As I push its glass door, Melissa's scary dark brown eyes gaze at me while Anna, still on her phone, doesn't seem to notice. Melissa then raises an eyebrow and soundlessly mouths the words, "where are you going?" while I walk straight to the counter anxiously and stare blankly at the young lady at the cashier.

"Can I get you something?" the lady asks me.

I took a very quick gaze at Melissa who looks very nervous.

"Uh--- hello?" says the lady.

I turn to her, "Oh, um..." I say. "a latte' please, thanks."

"That'd be 2.35."

I beam at her while grabbing my wallet then open it.

What?

My wide smile instantly turns to an awkwardly pensive look. I widen my eyes for a second. "Could you just wait a second?"

"Yeah, whatever," the lady rolls her eyes.

I immediately check each pocket of my wallet. No cash at all. I totally forgot to put my money in it. I can feel the lady getting pissed now. I turn to Melissa still raising an eyebrow, probably wondering what it took me so long to approach them. I turn to the lady, "Um, could you just wait up a little bit, I have to go to a friend and borrow cash."

She sighs and rolls her eyes.

I immediately strut towards Melissa. She then shoots a glance at me. "Hey!" she says it loudly so that Anna would notice me approaching. "What are you doing here, babes?"

Melissa did not just say that. I mentally roll my eyes.

Anna took a quick gaze at me then went back on her phone.

"Hi, Melissa, I, uh--- I came here for coffee," I tell her. I fake smile.

"Really? Come sit with us!" she offers me a seat. "This is Anna. Anna this is Dani, my... uh, new girlfriend." She then stares me at seductively.

"Hi!" I say while cocking my eyebrows at Anna... Wait, no, I mean, eyebrow, not eyebrows, I remember only having one.

"Hey!"
