One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 141: Lost in your eyes

I get lost in your eyes and I feel my spirits rise. And soar like the wind is it love that I am in? I get weak in a glance. Isn't this what's called romance? And now I know 'cause when I'm lost I can't let go. I just fell, don't know why. Something's there we can't deny and

when I first knew was when I first looked at you~~~

I was checking the latest sales on the computer at the counter when I heard Dana's voice behind me or should I say Dana's song behind me.

"I don't mind not knowing what I'm heading for... you can take me to the skies... It's like being lost in heaven... when I'm lost in your eyes..."

Furrowing my eyebrows, I turned in her direction as she sang the chorus of the song that's playing softly inside the coffee shop. Well, honestly, it made me frown not because of the song but the way she sang it. She emphasized every word especially the last line. "What? Am I not a good singer?" She asked, trying to hide the mischievous grin on her lips.

"Tss!" I rolled my eyes. "Such a clever question, huh! I wasn't born yesterday!"

But she just laughed at me. "Oh, of course, you aren't, but I saw you and you can't deny it." she winked at me.

"And what is it? What do you mean?"

And with the widest grin she could ever give me, she walked closer to me and glanced in Luke's direction who's currently having a meeting with his employees. He was sitting in the same spot he sat in the last time.

"I saw you staring at him. I saw the way you stared at him... so viscous---ouch!"

She didn't have the chance to continue what she was saying as I nudged her side with my elbow.

"That's not true!" I said narrowing my eyes on her and turning my attention back to the computer screen to hide my face from embarrassment.

"Haha... it's alright, I understand." She shrugged. "Oh, it's like being lost in heaven, when I'm lost in your eyes..." She sang again and was about to go back to the kitchen but I grabbed her hand and made her sit next to the chair I was sitting on. "Stay here for a while, I have something to tell you." I started with a sigh, but her eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.

mouth when I suddenly felt her grip on my skirt under the counter. Even though there was a frown painted on my forehead, I still followed her gaze only to find the man who was just the topic of our conversation approaching our direction. "Oh, I remember I have something left in the kitchen. I'll go check it out." I heard Dana announce next to me and it's too late for me to

I was left alone at the counter and had no choice but to wait for the man who was walking gracefully

"Hi,"

I held my breath for a while before deciding to reciprocate his smile.

I shrugged, pretending to scan the sales on the computer. You know,
