Episode 02

~Maddie~

"**** it's still hot" the light brown headed guy cussed after taking a sip of his coffee.

"I sure that you swear a lot" I took a spoonful of my new ice cream.

"Whatever, princess" the mocking tone was evident in his voice.

We remained silent for a while. It wasn't an awkward type of silence.

"Is that your bike?" he suddenly speak out, maybe he just wants to avoid the quiet atmosphere. He asked pointing towards to where i parked my blue mint bike.

I nodded, while he started laughing again.

"Doesn't a girl like you usually have a nice car and a personal driver?" he snickered while raising his eyebrow.

"What's wrong with my bike?" the light brown headed guy just shrugged his shoulders.

"Do you come here often?" he finally took a sip of his now cooled down coffee and turned to look at me.

I was about to answer when his phone gave a sound. A text. Probably his girlfriend.

He checked his phone and eyed me with an raised eyebrow after.

"You should go home. It's late and definitely not safe you wouldn't want to encounter someone bad" his face turned into a serious expression, before getting up.

Out of reflex I stood up to.

"I'll get going" he was about to turn around when I grabbed his hand.

"Thank you. For the ice cream" I said still holding his hand, voice slightly shaking.

He gave a half smile before turning around and walked to a parked car I hadn't noticed before. He got into the passenger seat and the car disappeared into the night.

What I didn't know is that somebody else was watching from a safe distance.

I couldn't stop thinking about him. Even when I woke up late in the afternoon that day he was still fresh in my mind.

It was the middle of the night yet again and I decided to go back. Maybe he would be there again. Even though we didn't talk much I immediately knew that I like him. I felt like for once, I could make a friend besides Luna. The feeling between us was right.

And that is exactly what my mom always told me: to listen to my feelings.

I took the same seat as yesterday and checked my phone.

2:30 am

I was a little early this time. I was tired. But I needed to meet him again.

I waited for what seemed like forever, before falling asleep in front of my melted ice cream.

"Hey, wake up princess" I felt someone shaking me and lifted my head slowly.

Looking up I was greeted with the eyes of the same guy from yesterday.

"Is this a dream?"

"No princess. Trust me if this was a dream about me we would be doing something else" the light brown headed guy looked down at me with a smug look before handing me a new ice cream.

"Are you still a student?" he asked eyeing me while sipping his coffee again.

"I just graduated and got back from the US. I will start work soon, what about you?" I took another spoonful of my ice cream and saw him struggling with his coffee a bit.

"I have a business. Nothing special. Let's talk about you" he raised his eyebrow again. It was probably a habit of his.

"I'm Maddie and my life is boring. Nothing special" I shrugged my shoulders again before eating some more of my ice cream.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" at my rather blunt question he immediately put down his coffee and looked at me with an unreadable expression.

"No and I don't want one" to say that this hurt me a little bit is an understatement.

Just like yesterday he got up and got ready to head to wherever. I was still shook from the way he rejected me, sitting on my chair with the ice cream in my hand.

He was almost around the corner when I got up.

"Wait! What's your name?" I shouted after him.

He turned his body around but kept walking backwards.

"Trust me, you don't want to know my name!"
