third.

I saw him during one of our snack breaks. He and his friends (a guess) walked out of their classroom while i walked out of mine. It was during that moment i laid my eyes on him. i was intrigued enough to look back as he walked down the stairs with his bunch. i can still remember what he wore that day, a white t-shirt which had pretty floral print and black jeans. He stood as tall as tall could go. In those few seconds, i forgot about my life, friends, and the guy who proposed to me a week ago.

Adam, talked a lot. He talks and that's about it. He told me i reminded him of chocolate that I was so sweet he could die because of it. He told me he had no prior relationship. He told me that he loved me the second he saw me laughing whenever he saw that i didn't care. He complimented me, something anyone rarely did.  That was more than what i asked for. I accepted his feelings for his words that he guaranteed were true. But none of his words compared to what i felt in those few seconds. I found something i didn't know i was looking for when i was busy losing my mind over him.

Though i never told my friends about my relationship i could see myself feeling glad about it. because now i liked a guy not because he told me he liked me but because he piqued my interest. i liked a person now. I told the three of my friends about my interests and their reaction peaked my anger. The so-called goddess didn't like him because he was more good-looking than her ex and she agreed about feeling jealous quite shamelessly. The other two just followed what she said and that was what made me angry.

Nonetheless in a span of a week, i found out he was an A grade student, who was every teacher's favorite. Not only that, i found out that his name was Lucas. I remember wishing that he'd know my name just like i knew his. That was the starting point of an unavoidable heartbreak.

I wished to do things with Lucas that i didn't wish to do with anyone else. Not even adam and his chocolate words. Adam was all words. He told me that he loved me the second day after i accepted his feelings. He told me he wanted to marry me the second time he told me he loved me. Lucas on other hand didn't have the slightest idea that he was making my day just by showing up to the college. At first, i truly thought "perhaps it's because you don't have a brother, and looking at him gives you a sense of protection? protection that a family member would give to another family member." but soon the mere thought of him as anything but my lover hurt. It hurt bad. Bad enough that i snapped at my friends for teasing me about it.

Adam was adamant about his way of loving. I still hadn't let go of him and the reason goes beyond my understanding. i should've let go of him and thought of only Lucas. But i couldn't bring myself to say those words to adam. With adam, you see i had the very first relationship with him. Perhaps it was that one thing that stopped me from breaking up with him.

6;17 am present.

"you're late but guess what you're the boss." Luke,  the part-timer in my cafe sulked as he opened the door for me in mock respect.

kids these days..are so...

"my lady, if you please wear your apron then perhaps we'll get our work done." He kneeled down holding out my apron with both of his hands. i smiled as i took it from his hands. kids do be cute sometimes.

"I'll clean the shop, tables, and everything. It'll take time for Becca to come.. you know the usual her lazy arse." He speaks walking over to the small pantry room.

"I'll check the equips. also, I'm sorry. i was listening- never mind i just didn't mean to be late." i turn away afraid of his reaction. He laughed quite naturally dismissing my worry. I look at him smiling at me. Sometimes i worry about this kid. His innocence bothers me a lot. I try my best to smile back and he walked away.

"You know, sometimes i forget... but you really are my boss."

"LUKE!! GET YO *** HERE!!"
