Hello! I am the Author and basically, I hope you enjoy this story! It isn't much but I do take pride of the plot I'm about to show you. Although it would be preferable if you don't get your hopes up since I made this out of context. I'm nervous and feeling a bit of dizzy but anyhow, I accept constructive criticism!
Summary:
Ailey Miller, an orphan girl who was abandoned by her parents temporarily took custody under her aunt's home. As she step in college, her aunt told her to live independently from now on.
She serached for a small part time job to support her financial problem. The one thing she didn't take account for was the fact that the boss and manager of the Coffee Shop was a handsome man with the same age as her. However, there's gotta be a sort of romantic interaction between them, right?
Getting Kicked Out?
Sound of pan clacking loudly outside Ailey's bedroom.
Ailey
Arghh.. T-The sound's ringing in my ear!
Ailey's Aunt
AILEY! GET DOWN NOW! BREAKFAST'S HERE!
Ailey's aunt sighed. She went up stairs and barged inside Ailey's room.
Ailey's Aunt
I did say breakfast is ready right?
Ailey's Aunt
Yep! Now get your butt out of this hole and come down stairs! Food is waiting for you!
Ailey's Aunt
Oh! and just to make myself unique, I'll be using this pans to wake yourself every morning, hm?
Ailey's Aunt
It's a nice change! Nice evolution as well. From a boring and cliche alarm clock to a beautiful pair of pans hitting each other
Ailey's Aunt
Definitely superior than those alarm clocks.
Ailey
Auntie..... I think you're reading too many webnovels....
Ailey's Aunt
Who's to say that webnovels aren't allowed to be read by an age such as myself?
Ailey
Auntie.... I didn't say that.
Ailey's Aunt
Who cares- ANYWAY. Stop LYING DOWN AND GET YOUR *** UP
Ailey
(Auntie sure is energetic first thing in the morning)
Ailey's Aunt exits her bedroom
Ailey stood up, stretched her whole body.
Ailey
Man, that crack's seriously satisfying to listen
Ailey
Okay let's stretch some more- *cracks*
Ailey
Argh~ that was fun! Now time to prepare myself
Ailey
And get down stairs before Auntie barges inside my room while carrying a microphone to wake me up
Ailey
That would be terrifying
Her aunt downstairs screamed once more
Ailey
JUST A MINUTE AUNTIE!!
Ailey rushed her morning routine before going downstairs to eat with her aunt and cousin.
Ailey met her auntie on the way to the dining table.
Ailey
Good morning auntie- woah, what's with that thing in your hand?
Ailey's Aunt
A microphone, in case you were having a hard time getting up your bed.
Ailey's Aunt
But good thing you're here now. No need to wake you up using this~
Her aunt discard the microphone and sat on the table
Ailey on the other hand was bewildered. She wasn't expecting her aunt would actually be willing to use the microphone to wake her up and the fact that what she said earlier almost came true.
Ailey
Well then, I will sit now. Thanks for the food.
Ailey
Morning bro. How's work?
Cousin
Fine as always. Although there's this odd chick who's following me every where.
Cousin
I'm fine mom, no need to shout in front of the table
Ailey's Aunt
I'm worried son! Do you not know what worried means?
Cousin
But I subdued the problem already. I was only telling you because I feel bad for not telling you this beforehand.
Ailey
Don't worry auntie. Cousin's a handsome and smart guy! No one can hurt him.
Ailey's Aunt
A-Alright then
They ate some more before her aunt finally opened the topic Ailey's been dreading to wait for a week already.
Ailey's Aunt
Ailey, I'm afraid you have to move out soon. You know that right?
Ailey's Aunt
However, I'm not throwing you away. I'm doing this for you, knowing that you're already in college.
Ailey's Aunt
It would be wise if you live independently from now on.
Ailey's Aunt
I'm also throwing my son away
Cousin
Right- I thought you're not throwing us away?
Ailey's Aunt
Because this is for the best
Ailey's Aunt
it's time for you and my son to widen your horizon and live for experience
Ailey's Aunt
To help you along the way in the middle of your struggles and hardships
Ailey's Aunt
I hope both of you understands
Ailey
We do auntie, I do understand
Ailey
Thank you for taking good care of me when no one else was willing to take me in.
Ailey
You were always there when I needed a family
Ailey
Both of you were the first ones to reach me out at my lowest
Ailey
The first ones who understood me.
Ailey
The first ones who made me feel all those things like love and warmth
Ailey
So memories like this will be kept and treasured for eternity, even if it's only short.
Her cousin coughed, looking away, his eyes welling up in tears.
On the other hand, her aunt was already crying
Ailey's Aunt
AILEY! I'M SO HAPPY TO HAVE SUCH A KIND, GOOD NIECE AND DAUGHTER I NEVER HAD!!
Ailey's Aunt
*sobs and cries*
Cousin
Ehem, mom your nose.
Cousin
*whispers* disgusting
Ailey's Aunt
I HEARD YOU YOUNG MAN!!
Ailey's Aunt
YOU'RE ALSO CRYING
Ailey
OKAAAY~ Let's stop right here and continue eating
Ailey frantically stopped the two from fighting, looking for ways to direct their conversation
Ailey
Au-Auntie! By the way! I already found a cheap apartment complex so you don't have to worry about yourself looking for one!
Ailey's Aunt
Oooh~ my how reliable!
Ailey wanted to applaud at the immediate drastic change of her aunt's expression
Ailey's Aunt
What about you son?
Cousin
I also found a place for me to stay. Do not worry
Ailey's Aunt
Both of you grew up so well, especially Ailey
Ailey
I did learn from the best I ever had
Ailey's Aunt
Can you stop making me cry for a second please? Ailey dear?
After that little banter they continued to eat.
When they were done, Ailey walked in her bedroom and changed into her outdoor clothes
Ailey
Auntie! I wanna check out the apartment I rented out.
Ailey
So by next week, I could already move there with less hassle.
Ailey's Aunt
Of course! Be careful on the way!
Cousin
Be careful lil one.
Ailey
Thank you! I'm off then!
Mere Coincidence?
Ailey
Welp! A beautiful day to look at the city!
Ailey proceeds to walk towards her apartment
Until she passed by with a couple
Random Person 2
Honey, don't you wanna spare some time together with me?
Random Person 2
Would be nice but our daughter's waiting for us at home
Random Person 2
Such a shame, I'm sure they can wait right?
Random Person 2
..... I'm just kidding! No need to get serious honey. C'mon, just smile for me aight?
???
It sure is nice being able to flirt so openly in the public huh?
???
My glasses are getting foggy at the moment
Ailey
When did you get beside me?
Ailey
Also, isn't that what they call jealous?
???
Well, not entirely jealous, I guess?
???
Also, you're quite a carefree person eh?
???
Aren't you a tiny bit suspicious towards a stranger?
???
Didn't no one told you not to talk with an unknown person?
Ailey
ExCusE mE MisTer GLaSSes!
Ailey
I am VERY MUCH capable on my own, thank you very much!
Ailey
I'm not a kid anymore!
Ailey
If you DO try anything PERVERTED, THEN, I might as well kick your crotch in public!
Ailey
Pretty ENTERTAINING. RIGHT?
???
No need to emphasize every word lady
???
Well then, let me introduce myself
Ailey
Oh so NOW- ehem, you're introducing yourself?
Ethan
Yes I will, out of courtesy
Ethan
I go to Hanshen College
Ailey
Did I even ask your name?
Ethan
Miss, it is common courtesy to introduce yourself after someone's done. Common manners makes a person a bit respectful, yes?
Ailey
Fine! I'm Ailey Mr. Smartypants
Ethan
It's Ethan, a common name meaning wisdom and intelligence and only has two syllables
Ethan
And you cannot pronounce such a simple name?
Ailey's head throbbed in annoyance
Ailey
OI- THE HECK'S YOUR DEAL? I WAS JUST TRYING TO REACH MY DESTINATION
Ailey
BUT THEN YOU APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE TO MAKE AN UNECESSARY COMMENT ABOUT A COUPLE AND NOW YOU'RE FIGHTING WITH ME?
Ailey
I CAN FIGHT! BRAINS AND BRAWNS!
Ailey
THE HELL YOU'RE LAUGHING AT?
Ailey
REMEMBER, I'M A CHAMPION AT ARM WRESTLING
Ailey
MY LIMBS ARE DAMN STRONG FOR A GIRL!!
Ethan
For a girl, you're barbaric and rough
Ailey
The only thing's interesting around here is the fact that you can actually stand there and be rude first thing on a fine morning.
Ethan
Yes, yes, sweet alright.
Ethan
Sweet-ly an eyesore to look at.
Ailey
(But wait a minute, am I forgetting something?)
Ailey
ETHAN. Ehem, did you say you were going to Hanshen College?
Ethan
Yes I did, prior to when you open your mouth to insult me.
Ailey
Oi, if you're having a grudge on me, will you do that after we've acquainted ourselves well enough?
Ailey
Let's not leave ourselves on bad terms. I'm having a bad day as it is, knowing that we're on the same college.
Ethan
Same college hah? What a coincidence.
Ailey
You're also handsome so might as well use that handsomeness of yours and make it on par with your personality.
Ailey
Don't want a creature such as yourself to disappear.
Ailey
Would be a shame really.
Ethan
Too straighforward for a girl like you eh?
Ethan
Would be absurd of me to ask but where is your destination?
Ethan
If it's not much, I would like to accompany you.
Ailey
Oho? Didn't you say that not to involve myself with a stranger?
Ethan
With the few banters we've gotten ourselves into, I'm pretty sure we've become the acquaintance you've mentioned before.
Ailey
However, if you have a dirty trick up your sleeves then say hello to my durable bag and well-received kick
Ailey
Consider yourself lucky, since I was bored.
Ailey
(Well, he seems like not a bad person, so I see no harm on making him tag along)
Ailey
(Although that rude mouth of his is something that should be fixed)
Ethan
Quite honored. Well then, it's a good thing I'm heading to where you're going.
Ethan
You're going to that newly established apartment, yes?
Ethan
Oh don't worry, I'm not a stalker nor a pervert
Ethan
My level of intelligence does not allow me to degrade myself into a lowly human
Ethan
I just noticed the card you've been holding.
Ailey
So you're telling me....
Ethan
Yes, nice to meet you neighbor
Ailey's life fell upside down as she went into a realization
Ailey
I DON'T WANNA INDULGE MYSELF WITH AN INTELLIGENT PRICK AS YOU!!!
Ethan
Suck to say but we're neighbors now~
Ethan
And we're here. Stop gaping there like a fool and find your room.
Ethan
This is where we'll part our ways.
Ethan
Looking forward to seeing you again.
Ethan separated from Ailey who's dumbfounded
Ailey
Snap out of it Ailey. I'm pretty sure nothing's gonna happen.
Ailey
It's just a stupid coincidence
Ailey
And the fact that we're going on a same college
Ailey
Can't this day get any worse??
Ailey
He's seriously handsome but not my type
Ailey
Oh mister right guy, when will you appear?
