Mr. Tall Guy

I can only look for a place to stay today because school starts two days from now. I also can't search at night or in the afternoon because I will also start my part time job that I applied for. I also got a job as a server at a coffee shop that is also near my school and my duety starts tomorrow afternoon so, today is the only day I can look for one.

After several hours of searching my aching feet lead me nowhere. I've been going around for a while and not a single house for rent near the University I'm going to attend has been occupied. I immediately sat down next to a bakery and quickly shook off the tiredness. It's hot because it's 10 o'clock in the afternoon and I've been here since 8 o'clock. I'm also hungry and need to find something to eat again.

I immediately stood up and decided to eat first before starting the search again. Immediately if you see a grill that sells different classes of street food.

They have isaw (filipino street food), chicken liver, kwek-kwek (filipino street foods), chicken feet, and they are served with a rice covered with coconut leafs, so I was immediately hooked and came closer to it. It's cheap and you'll be full when you taste this classy food. And because of my current budget, this grill is affordable to the same as a student.

"Miss, how much is the grilled chicken intestine and this liver?" I asked the woman with her back to me while I was staring at the merchandise.

"The liver is 8 pesos while the grilled checken intestine is 5 pesos, ijah!" She said and immediately looked at me.

"All right. . . 5 livers and then 10 grilled chicken intestine," I said and smiled at her.

"Raphael Son! Please prepare an order for this beautiful beauty," he avoided my gaze and called his son. A young man who was still dressed and laughing ran towards us from their room. It's obvious that it's from what his mother ordered because of the beads of sweat on his forehead and body.

"My son will take care of you first, ijah." She said goodbye to which I nodded. He returned to what he was doing and his son faced me. "What about you?" There was no hesitation in this promise and the fried fish on the griller were immediately fanned.

"5 livers and then 10 grilled chicken intestine, 3 pears for the rice," he nodded but still didn't look. It's not that it's strict, it's just a bit busy because there are many people waiting for their order at the tables opposite their house.

These are mostly women and some of them have been taking pictures of the man fanning the grill.

His anatomy is little known, but he has a sharp, black, and towering nose. He's not skinny, but as long as he's not skin and bones or just the proper body type, he's not overweight in my opinion. It also features strong eyebrows and long eyelashes. His lips are the perfect shape to go with his medium-sized eyes.

I merely sat in this vacant seat because mine was still there for a while. It's really smokey because it's next to the griller, but I just put up with it despite my ability to smell the smoke.
