Chapter 4

A week has passed and Marie still couldn't shake off the feelings of that night, it was like a tape that kept on playing in her head also because clips of her on stage with Evans went viral all over social media especially Twitter. Marie started her new job as a cashier for a coffee shop, about thirty minutes away from her apartment, her former boss Mrs Davis had close down her restaurant and relocated back to her hometown in Australia after her very heartbreaking divorce. Marie liked her new workplace, it wasn't as stressful as it would have been back at Mrs Davis's and her new boss is nice too.

it was a hot Friday afternoon, and business was slow, there wasn't much customers so all Marie could do was just standing behind the counter, the restaurant doorbell ringed, indicating a customer's arrival, Marie turned to say welcome to the new guest but her mouth dropped before she could finish her words, it was Evans who walked in and behind him was Mason, Marie was shocked, 'what were they doing here?, how could they come here? am I looking good, God why did he have to see me like this?, does he even remember me, what if he forgot? Oh nooooo', all these thought kept flying in and out of Marie's head. Evans could see she was in a state of surprise and deep thought, so he slightly tapped the counter table to get her attention and bring her consciousness back from the world of critical thinking, Marie, back in her senses saw Evans standing in front of her supposely wanting to get his order taken, 'oh ummm right, what would you be having....sir?' Marie asked with hesitation, 'yeah, I would like two iced America and any mango flavored deserts you guys have', Evans answered while staring down at her, Marie nodded and proceeded to check in their order, she was a bit disappointed that Evans couldn't remember her, but she thought to herself she wasn't anyone important for him to remember anyways. She pointed out a table for them to sit, but she could still feel the hot gaze of Evans, she kept locking eyes with him and ending up being flustered. Their orders was ready and Marie took the liberty to serve them herself, she walked to their table and was extremely careful in placing the coffees on their table but she spoke too soon, while stealing a glance at Evans, she spilled the coffee all over him, especially on his white shirt, she instantly started apologizing and using a tissue to try clean the mess, 'its fine, don't worry, I'll just go clean myself up, could you tell me where the bathroom is?' Evans said politely before making his way to the bathroom. Marie felt so bad, she could cry any moment, then Mason tapped her shoulders 'you don't have to feel bad, he knows you didn't do it on purpose , so don't worry ', Marie was a bit relieved by Mason's words but couldn't believe Mason could be this mature and understanding, 'i guess you can't judge a book by its cover' Marie thought. Evans came back from the bathroom with the stain on his shirt almost gone, he once again assured Marie it was not a big deal and requested another cup of coffee but Marie couldn't let it go, she was still feeling bad, ' I'm really really sorry, is there anything i could do, how about I give you another coffee off charge's Marie said with a determined to make it better face, 'its honestly fine but if you insist on making it better, then how about assisting at a photoshoot i have tomorrow, you can come to support and cheer me in, how's that', Evans smirked as he could see the excitement in Marie's face, 'did you think i wouldn't recognize you huh? Miss Marie'. 'you remember my name?, I thought you wouldn't recognize me so I didn't want to say anything and of course I'll be there to support you, you can count on it', Marie said almost jumping for joy. Evans took out two exclusive pass from his bag and handed them to Marie, 'you can also bring you friend from last time along, I'll be expecting you, so do come'.

Evans took the extra coffee Marie offered to go and quickly settled the bill as they were late for a meeting. After they left, Marie gave herself a slightly painful pinch on her arm to confirm if she was dreaming or not. She instantly called Becky telling her what had happened, Becky screamed through the phone so loud Marie had to put the phone at arm's length until she was done. Marie assured Becky she would explain properly when they both meet at Marie's house.
