Always be polite with customers, I remember saying that as the cafe's number one rule and now I might take it back. "You don't look like a waitress because you look like my future wife," said one again. I cringed silently when he looked at my clothes but my mind was a bit preoccupied with something. Strike three! If it was just baseball they would have been kicked out. I'm wearing a mint green bandage crop top and high waist denim shorts. It was covered with an apron and I had a cardigan in my pocket in case it was cold. Some say that I don't look like a mother when I dress and I just want to ask them if mothers have a dress code. My heart is slamming hard against my chest. This traitor heart! His eyes were dark and hooded with an emotion I couldn't read. I immediately looked away from him when our eyes met. He looked kind of pissed, I don't know if I got it right coz his face is almost blank. I grinned at the teenagers. "I'm the cafe owner and I'm already married," I smiled a

I just came out of the kitchen. I helped the kitchen staff because Thana had said goodbye to resign. She didn't tell me why exactly but she promised to explain when things get better. The kitchen staff is changing, of course, even if Thana is not there sometimes, we know that he will be back. We posted a job a while ago, many people have applied. Joryl screened it while I did the interview. I want someone trustworthy and as good as Thana so I'd better be hands on when choosing. "Hi Lily!" a cheerful voice greeted me. I saw him though, I can't remember his name. I think he was with his high school friends yesterday. "Hi again, I told you to call me Sister," I said softly. He just laughed at that and shrugged his shoulders. Her piercings sparkled like the silver watch she was wearing. Still wearing his school uniform with the school logo and name embroidered on the chin, Kirk Franklin Diosdado. "Looks like you're busy?" he asked his brother. I shrugged my shoulders. "Ah yeah, q

I did endless shopping before leaving Kendria with Erna. My daughter is not used to sleeping alone so I asked Erna to sit next to him first or maybe watch over him until he falls asleep. I said goodbye to Kendi but I know her tantrums are different when she wakes up and can't catch me. I still don't know what time I will go home exactly because the party starts almost at midnight, at nine o'clock. Actually, I'm late because it's nine thirty, but Kendrick said the only important thing is that I show up there, I don't need to be late. "I'll take care of it Ma'am," said Erna. I glanced at Kendria who was sleeping peacefully in her bed and then patted Erna to say goodbye. "Just lock the door when I go out, okay? I have a duplicate key so I'll take care of it when I get home later. Ken's milk is on the bed side table and if there's a problem, call me-" "Ma'am calm down, you'll only be gone for a few hours. It probably won't take you a decade at the party," Erna cut me off. I sighed a

Is it possible for a person to forget in just a short period of time? I think it depends on the situation because right now the only thing I want is to get away from him."Thank you," I said in a flat tone before snatching the napkin pack out of his hand.I walked away pushing the grocery cart like nothing happened."What? That's it?" he asked while still following me.I rolled my eyes and pretended like I heard nothing.My eyes widened when I saw my daughter Ken, happily hopping in the grocery's entrance. Behind him is Erna carrying a big teddy bear."Lily-""You know what? I changed my mind..." I nervously glanced at his back trying to find some escape. "Just help me, I forgot something at the end. Can you take it? My foot hurts.""Where?" he asked eagerly."Uhm... In the detergent powder section, you can choose any brand as long as it's maroon in color, the dark one right? It's at the end," I flashed a smile.His eyes widened like he's shocked.I simply looked for Kendria again, go

I looked at him then took another step towards the door but before I could open it, Edmund was already there. "I can open it, I'm not disabled," I promised flatly. I heard him chuckle but he didn't say a thing. I went inside and folded the umbrella before facing him. "Go home Edmund, I'm not joking even if it's stormy I'll drag you to security- what are you smiling about? You find this funny?" He smiled and shook his head. "Even if your nose is smoking from irritation, you're still beautiful." My heart skipped a beat then it went back, thrice than it's normal bear. "Thank you for the concern but don't be too concerned with me, I am strong but you are fragile." "Stop me with your brats! I said without being concerned- wait you're shivering! I told you to go home!" "But I'm cold and I might get cold because I've been soaked in the rain for a while," he said. Because the light inside the house was on, I could clearly see him screaming suddenly at the sudden blowing of a strong
