One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 148: Semi-sweet conversation

~~~You are the one who makes me happy when everything else turns to grey. Yours is the voice that wakes me mornings and sends me out into the day. You are the crowd that sits quietly listening to me and all the mad sense I make. You are one of the few things worth remembering. And since it's all true, how could anyone mean more to me than you?~~~ -The Carpenters-

"Hi,"

I hitched my breath when Luke suddenly appeared in front of the counter. It's only 8 in the morning and we have just opened the coffee shop so there are no customers yet. "Luke," I mentioned his name as my heart started beating erratically inside my rib cage.

"Good morning," he smiled, and oh... my heart has already jumped out of my chest.

"Good morning, aren't you going to work?" I asked because today is Monday and he should have been in his office at this moment.

"Actually, I just came from the office and we have a meeting at 8:30."

I frowned. "Then why are you here? What are you doing here?"

"I just came to see you," he smiled, and even though it surprised me, I couldn't help the smile that spread between my lips. "Uhm... do have plans for tonight after work?" "What do you mean by plans?" I asked in confusion.

"If you have something in mind like you want to go out after work or you want to go shopping, you know, plans..."

I bit my bottom lip then smiled.

"No, I have no plans for tonight," I said shaking my head.

"Good!" He exclaimed.

"Good? How is it became good then?"

"Because I want to invite you for dinner,"

I gulped... I gulped the excitement that had instantly jumped in my chest.

"Dinner..." I repeated, raising an eyebrow.
