One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 86: I am his ex-wife

~~What the hell are you thinking 'round to visit? Completely uninvited messing with my brain again. You couldn't give the satisfaction of forgetting. Your existence showed up when I thought I finally found the end. Don't be coming over looking for a conversation. Dropping little hints that you want me back again 'cause I'm so sick and tired of the little lies you tell me~~~

-Kameron Marlowe-

There were only a few customers when we entered the coffee shop and just as I thought, most of them were students from the nearby university.

"Whoa! The smell of coffee is so good!" Cali exclaimed as soon as we walked in and hurried to the first vacant table she saw.

"Do you like coffee?" Luke asked her and she nodded, but it hasn't been a second when she changed her mind.

"Uhm... do they sell milk tea, mommy?"

"Yes, baby, they sell milk tea. What flavour do you want?"

"Yey! I love chocolate--- dark chocolate, mommy."

"Alright, dark chocolate flavoured milk tea for the little girl." I kissed her on the forehead.

When we were at the counter, we were greeted by the middle-aged woman who I think is the cashier on duty for the day. And to my surprise, she didn't recognize me, but she instantly recognized him. "Wow, Captain, it's been a long time! How are you?"

My eyebrow automatically knew its way up upon hearing the word 'captain'.

"Hello, Trisha, I'm fine. It's nice to see you again, huh." Luke said as he gave her a broad smile.

"Captain?" I couldn't help but utter in confusion.

"Ohh... I was a basketball captain before, right?"

"Yes, when you were in college, so does that mean you're also a regular customer of this shop?"

"Yes, Miss, he is. And I remember he's always with his girlfriend." And then she turned to him. "Captain, what was your girlfriend's name again?"

question... so I just took a deep breath and fake a smile. Well, isn't it awkward to be with your ex-husband who still has a girlfriend? And the most frustrating thing is that the woman in front of us seemed not to notice my expression. "Samantha,"
