Chapter 30

Summer Frost

“Crescent cafe shor’ For the umpteenth time, I read through the address Lisa had sent to me earlier while parked at the side of the road. I haven’t heard of that place in my entire life and the direction on the map was more than confusing.

“Sh it! I should’ve asked Miguel to come with me,” He had offered to come with me earlier, but since I was going to see a friend, I didn’t think it was necessary for him to be there.

“Ugh! This is frustrating.” I tossed my phone on the seat beside me and started the car again. Just a few minutes drive down the road, I finally located the place. Maybe the fault was in the app or it was bad reception then, who knows?

It was like your regular kind of cafe shop. Not too exquisite or local too. Just normal.

Lisa waved at me from the end of the shop as soon as I stepped inside, and I walked up to her.

“I’m so sorry for keeping you waiting. I couldn’t get this place correctly, and the map was messing up. It’s been a while,” I rushed my words as I gave her a side hug before sitting opposite her.

“I’ve missed you so much, I thought you were not goir

going to show up,” She pouted her lips, and I smiled.

“Of course, not,” She was the last person I would stand up for any reason

“What would you like to have? I’ll order coffee,”

“Iced americano and a cup of chilled milk,”

“Coming right up.” She smiled at me then turned to the direction of the cashier and called the waiter’s attention. In a few seconds, a young man in his early twenties came walking up to us with a menu book.

“Are you ready to take your order now, Ms?” He spoke politely to Lisa

“Oh, yes. Two cup of iced americano and two cups of chilled milk too…” She paused, then looked at me and smiled, “I’ll have the same thing you are having.” She hasn’t changed a bit. I remember years ago how we used to hang out together. She would always order whatever I chose to eat, and just like that, some of my favourites became hers also. We were inseparable.

“Corning right up, Ms,” The young man left, and she finally turned to me.

“I’m sorry for calling you u out here out of the blue moon. I missed having drinks with you,” She pouted her lips.

“I understand, It’s my pleasure. About the other day… I’m sorry we couldn’t talk much,” I apologized to her, but she waved her hand dismissively and ralled her eyes.
