Chic hugged Romien from the back and wrapped her hands around his neck, pulling him close. "Did you miss me?" she chuckled as he smiled and wrapped his hands around hers.

"Of course! How could I not miss my love?" He said with his deep voice.

She let go slightly as he quickly pulled away from her and took her hand, and made her loose balance, making her fall onto him. Then he hugged her tight. "Where have you been so long?"

Chic smiled, "I was making you jealous," she giggled.

Romien smiled and let her go as they stood up, "Where do you want to go to? Name the place, sweetheart. " He took her hand in his.

"Hm... maybe to the café?" Chic smiled as Romien nodded. As they were walking, Chic's phone started to ring. She took it, and Romien accidentally saw it was a boy's name.

"Who's he?" he smiled as Chic ignored the call.

"Someone from my office," she smiled.

The rest of the day they spent together. It was a fun and lovely evening already as Romien was walking Chic home in the dark, with their hands wrapped around each other's.

"I'd love to spend every day like this." Romien chuckled with such his words. They just reached Chic's house and stood still in front of the door.

"Tell me," Chic got on her tippy-toes leaning in, "You have no plans for tomorrow?"

He smirked playfully, "Not anymore,"

Then Chic opened the door and let him in. Then they spent the rest of the evening on the couch, watching a movie and sharing one other's company.

...----------------...

When the morning came, Chic and Romien headed their own ways.

After lunch, Romien decided to surprise Chic, and so he headed to her house with a bouquet of flowers. Red roses...

...----------------...

Then he was just about to go near the door and knock, but then he noticed through the window that Chic was having tea with some guy. It was seen that they both were wearing clothes, meant for going on dates. He got all tensed up. As he saw the guy taking her hand.

The next thing Romien knew, he was barging into the house. And came rushing to the living room. Chic looked very surprised and anxious to see him.

"You're cheating?" Romien yelled with his heart broken. But Chic stood silent and let her head down, still holding the guy's hand. Romien lost it. With rage, he left.

...****************...

That's how, after a few years, Chic was left without a boyfriend.

...****************...

After 8 years had passed after the incident, Chic was peacefully living her life with regret. She barely had any friends.

As one day in a café, that she worked, she got one more customer to deal with. She didn't pay much attention as she was looking down to the counter, "Welcome to our café, what would you like to order?"

"Coffee" guy's voice filled the silence.

She took in the order and lifted her head with a smile. But once she saw who it was, the smile faded away slowly. Leaving her bear his gaze. Romien's gaze. As he was wearing a suit, he got his hair a little messy as he looked at her with his eyes slightly narrowed.

She quickly put on a fake smile, "Yes, sir, coffee." she went to the coffee machine and started making it.

Romien, at that time, went to take a seat.

Coffee was ready. Chic asked the waitress to bring it to his table. But a few minutes later, the waitress came back with the same cup in her hands as she spoke, "The mister wants you to bring it," she gave the cup to Chic as she added teasingly, "You have fans I see." Then she walked to serve other customers leaving Chic no other choice but to carry it herself.

She took it and started to walk in his direction. His gaze followed her movements. As when she was a few steps in front of him, she stopped. Looking down at the cup.

Romien stood up. "What's wrong?" He left only a step between them.

"I don't want to..." she whispered.

"Don't want to do what?" He raised an eyebrow.

She slightly lifted her head and looked into his eyes, "Just take it." She pointed with her head to the cup.

"I can't." He looked the other way.

"Why...?" Chic's voice was barely above a whisper.

He stood silent for a moment, "How have you been?" he asked as suddenly the cup fell from Chic's hands and crashed against the floor.

She quickly started to take the glass shattered from the floor. But then Romien joined, too. He helped her, and that way, they cleaned the whole mess together.

After that, Chic bowed a bit, "Thanks."

"Do you still have some space left in your heart?" Romien took her hands in his looking with hope at her. Chic looked stunned, and a tear dropped down her cheek, "I... I've never cheated on you, never!" She burst out crying. As Romien hugged her with love.
