Call It Love

Anna's Cafè

"Cut to the chase if you don't mind Mr. Walker", I almost swallowed my own words after seeing how wet his long hair was. I got mad and stormed to my room. I had to get a dry towel for his hair.

"Lucy? Lucy come back", he called out to me.

"How many times did you throw up? Who throws up and drive?" I speak with my teeth gritted drying his hair with a towel.

"I was missing you..I-I can't stop missing you", my hands stopped moving as he mummers breathy. His words brought back the pain I have been dealing with for a year and it came in a piercing I felt it right through my whole fresh on my body it was too painful that I felt tears trailing my cheeks.

"Don't..don't scratch my wound any further just tell me why are you here?".

"I regret falling in love with you. I regret that I got to know you. I regret the fact that I keep coming back to you. When will I let you go? When will I get used to the fact that we can never be together? Lucy.... Lucy if I ask you to quit would you do that for me? I don't want to watch you fall in love with someone out there that's what worries me the most you falling for another man while I struggle to let you go". Is this all he came to say? I felt loosing myself I almost blacked out. How could he say that? I waited a whole year for him to come and give me a damn good reason why I was grounded, why all my shares were frozen along with my accounts here he is now asking me to quit a job I just got? What the hell is he saying?

"Why show up here if all you have for me is regrets?" I say with a sobbing tone. I didn't even know when I began crying.

"The woman knew you. Didn't you smell something fishy when she said you are her son's girlfriend? She will make it come true. She knows about our past and she will use you against me. Trust my words. Pamela isn't that innocent as her sweet face seems.

"How can you stoop so low Mr Walker? Your call attempt failed and now you're trying to brain wash me so that I would give up the job myself right? Why go through all this if you regret me being in your life?".

"Because I love you". He yells rising up from him chair. "I love you and I still do. Do you have a problem with that? It's my problembregrets are mine too so mind your own issues and I will mind mine but beware of Pamela". He slams the towel on the table and walk out. I almost

The next morning I woke with a puffy face. Mark made me loose myself again I let my guard down and there was nothing I could do to stop him. How dare he kiss me and leave me wanting more? Why can't I ever give up on him? Why is it always so hard to resist him when it comes to his lips? With him around I'm too fucked up I don't see anything but him. All that awful though brought tears to my face again and again mom came by to comfort meAround 9 am two guys show up one in black jeans and a brown t-shirt and the other in blue jeans and a black v collar t-shirt. I recognized the faces, it was Nathan and Joseph.
Joseph was in black jeans and Nathan was in blue jeans. Joseph's long face seemed unrest, it's like he was searching for danger around me and on the other hand Nathan's right hand was in his pocket it's like he was about to pull out something

"Hi, remember me"? Nathan began.

"Yeah I do, how are you Nathan"?

"I'm good. We thought how about we start working today", he said with amusement.

"How have you been Lucy", Joseph asked with a grin.

"I'm fine guys. Welcome to Anna's coffee shop and you can start working right away", I told them giving them a warm welcoming smile. The boys got to work and I asked mom to take a rest. She has been working too much lately which is not good for her health.
The day went by slowly and I didn't notice anything new. Maybe because I never pay attention to what is happening around me. During the evening I decided to chat with the boys to get to know them better.
Nathan said he lives with his father and a loving sister Daisy. They lost their mom last year. She died of blood cancer. Oh God may her soul rest in peace. Joseph said he was adopted when he was twelve with his father and mother with whom he lives with. They own a five-star hotel so they are kind of rich. He said working at places like this makes his mind relax that's why he came to work here. We talked about different things and when it was 5:30 pm I wondered what were we going to have for dinner. Joseph mentioned he is a good cook. Cooking is his passion so I sought why not test his cooking skills.

"Jose, I mean Joseph can you prepare us dinner? You said you love cooking so how about we have a special dinner together made by you"?, I tell him cupping my chin with my left hand with a smile on my face.

"You can call me Jose, and yeah I'm in. I will cook something for all of us", he said standing up and headed to the kitchen.
He grabbed a chicken in a fridge while Nathan chopped onions. I kept starring at them not understanding what they were preparing so I decided to head to my room and took Jessy's laptop. I open my document finished writing the report them transferred it into a flash.
Tomorrow is my second day at work. I'm planning on meeting other workers in the company. On Friday I didn't get a chance to meet or talk to anyone. I didn't go on lunch break. I had some cereals in my purse so I ate that and kept working. I was kind of shocked so I had to work hard to keep my job. I got a job without an interview. It's weird, it feels like life is trying to give me some fake hopes. I hope this doesn't end badly.

After I'm done I went back to the kitchen. Ooh God it was filled with a delicious smell. This means dinner was ready. I looked at my window phone it was 8 pm so we called mom and Jessy to join for dinner. There were burgers and chicken rolls on the table. I went to the fridge and grabbed some cokes for everyone. We all began eating and I can say Jose is truly a good cook. His food was something. It was delicious and tasty.
We ate chatting about different funny things which made mom smile, all she murmured every time we burst into laughter was, "kids", and then shakes her head. It felt like a warm home and happy family seeing everyone in a smile

At 9:00 Jose and Nathan left. We closed the door switched off the inside lights and went to bed. It was a good day. I met the new two wonderful people who felt like brothers to me. I ate a dinner prepared by a man, how wonderful. It was a really perfect Sunday. I don't know how my tomorrow will be like.
