Chapter 2

It's been a week since that happened. But I can't seem to forget the person I met in the club last week. Gosh, I'm losing my mind. But not gonna lie he's so tall and handsome as hell. If you'll going to ask me, yes I want to meet him again. It's 6 in the morning and I decided to go to the gym. I also packed some clothes so I can go straight to school because Sean and I have class at 9. I just wore a black shirt and black sweat pants. And a black duffel bag. Cuz' i bought my laptop with me. And yeah, I love the black color. No, I'm in love with it.

We have 6 rooms in this house. 4 rooms are on the second floor and 2 rooms are on the first floor. My room is on the second floor same as Lucas's. Aella and Sean's rooms are on the 1st floor which is supposed to be the guest room. But They're too lazy to walk that's why they chose the rooms on the 1st floor.

I was walking down the stairs when I saw Sean eating toasted bread and drinking a cup of milk on the sofa in the living room. I was about to speak when he spoke first.

"Yo! you going to the gym?" he said while taking a bite on his toasted bread. " Yeah, I'm wearing gym clothes aren't I? why'd you ask?" I said in curiosity. " You rude bastard! I told you to tell me every time you go to the gym!" he said while pointing his index finger at me. " Oh, right! " I said while yawning. " Wait for me, I'll just change my clothes. Oh, eat some bread first. I still have some there" he said while pointing to the table where the plate of toasted bread is placed.

It's been 10 minutes and he still hasn't come out. That's why I walked in front of his door and knocked " Oi, it's been 20 minutes. I will leave now if you still won't come out! " (still knocking on his door)." Tada! I'm here! So chill your *** down." he said while giggling. He looks beautiful but..." But what are you wearing? Bitch, we're going to the gym to exercise not to hook up with the guys there!" while crossing my arms. He's wearing black compression shorts and a blue pastel sleeveless t-shirt along with black kneepads and a black sports headband." What am I wearing? It's gym clothes, duh." while rolling his eyes at me." I'm sure, you'll just seduce the guys in the gym like last time." while I facepalm myself. "Oh, it's nothing big, seriously," he said with an amused smile on his face." Dumbass, I wasn't complimenting you!" I said while smiling at his stupidity. "Oh right, bring your extra clothes and your laptop with you because I'm going straight to the uni." Yeah, I already did" While showing his bag to me.

We're already inside the gym. We put our belongings in the locker first. I stretched my body first before running on the treadmill." Hey! how long are we going to stay here? I'm tired already!" he said gasping while running. "It's only been 10 minutes and you're saying that you are already tired, " I told him while looking at my watch." Eh, How can you even last long in bed if you're that weak" I told him with a mocking smile." But, Exercising and making love is a whole different thing." Sean shook his head and pressed his lips together." Eh, I think it's the same. Both need strong stamina." I stared at him smirking.

*Cough...Cough* " Can you please talk about that in another place? Tsk\, tsk\, youngsters these days." An old man in his 50s that is on my left side told us while shaking his head. " Oh\, haha..sorry\, " I said while scratching the side of my neck." Sean\, just get out of here. Wait for me\, I'll get done after 10 minutes." I said with heavy breathing\, accompanied by a running pulse." ha. ha. ha then I'll shower and get changed" scratching his neck while looking sideways. I just nodded in approval.

It's already 7: 30 a.m. Sean and I are walking right now." Where should we go next?" I asked Sean while looking at my steps." Oh, I heard from a friend of a friend that there is a new cafe near Silver Valley College. Let's go there, I heard the baristas there are hot, and good-looking guys." He said blinking at me. " Tee hee. Then let's get going!" I said while my voice grew bubbly.

We're already in front of the coffee shop the name of the cafe is ' Heavenly Coffee '. When we stepped inside the people started looking at us. The ambiance of the cafe, its bitter-sweet aroma, and people's smiles. The cafe tables in their rich deep browns, and fake decoration leaves. And the theme is garden. It suits the cafe and the atmosphere.

The cafe in such honeyed hues brings a sweetness to the day, coaxing an inner smile that warms from within. Those people who read some magazines, friends chatters, and a woman writing are the peaceful atmosphere you could ever ask.

But what took my attention the most is the barista. It's him. It's Clervin. Did God hear what I wished this morning? He's with his friend. His name is Elijah the one that Sean has been mentioning lately he even told us that he wanted to sleep with him so badly it hurts. Sometimes, I'm asking myself why did I choose him as my friend.

Sean and I walked towards them. And when I'm already in front of him he smiled at me." Hi, what do you want to order sir?" he asked me." Oh, 1 Caffe Latte and a slice of strawberry cake, please." I told Clervin while looking at the menu. I can feel my cheeks turning red." Ok, you can sit first. I'll bring your order to your table in just a minute." He winked and smiled at me. Does winking is part of the customer's service in this shop? How I wish he'd only do that to me. " Dine in or take out sir? "Elija asked Sean while tapping on the screen." Mhm... take you" I heard my friend saying that eye to eye with Elijah." Sure, you can take me anytime you want" Elijah said while smiling at Sean who's blushing so crazy looking like a tomato.

Then Sean and I sat at the table near them. He's beside me. I took out my phone from my pocket and started scrolling through my Weibo account. I can feel that Sean is gazing incisively towards me.

I looked at him and said " What do you want now, Sean? " I didn't bother waiting for his reply and continued scrolling to my Weibo account. " Hmmm..." then he slowly move towards me and whispered, I flinched because it tickled " You like that guy do you, that blondie barista," I looked at him smirking at me, resting his right hand on the chair while his legs were crossed.

I look and smiled at him " Yes, I think I kinda like him" I lowered my voice making sure that he's the only one who can hear." Here are your orders, sir! " The both of us looked at Clervin who is now handing out our orders. And he gave me one tiny piece of paper and said " call me when you're free " he smiled at me and returned to the counter." Take it easy gain. Just looking at your face right now it's obvious that you like him," Sean said smiling at me weirdly.

" Shut your mouth, Sean. I'm embarrassed enough " I can't help but smile while taking a bite of my cake. " Oh, the cake is pretty tasty. I like it no I'm in love with it! " I told Sean who's taking a picture of his drink. " Is it? give me a bite" and he opened his mouth and I gave him a spoon full of cake. " Hmm... it is tasty. Give me another bite!"

" You have a lot of money, go buy yours! " I rolled my eyes on him." You're so stingy!" he said pouting at me. " How am I stingy? I just gave you a spoon full."

" Stingy"

" No, I'm not "

" Stingy "

" No, I'm not "

" Stingy "

I glared at him " Alright, alright, just one bite okay." I may look like it, but I do have a soft spot with my friends. "Okay! ahhh " he says with his mouth opened like a 3 years old kid waiting to be fed on by their mother." Pftt- you look like an idiot" I said trying not to laugh out loud. He pinched my thigh causing me to let out a small groan. " Didn't see it coming, huh! " rolling his eyes on me.

" Hey, boys! " A woman in her twenties said to us beside her is her friend, I guess. She's wearing a black off-shoulder dress and white pearl hook earrings, and she's wearing black high heels. And the other woman is wearing Black tattered skinny jeans and a black tube, and for her shoes, she's wearing red high heels. They're pretty, yes, but why do they have to wear a thick layer of make-up. And not to mention, they're wearing a strong smell of perfume, it's making me sick. Well, for other guys, straight guys to be precise, it's seductive. But, it's just a no for me.

They sat in the vacant seat at our table. Sean and I are looking at each other, can't explain what's happening. Just by looking at Sean, I know what he's about to say without talking

" Do you by any chance know them? "

" Nah, do I look like I know them? "

He laugh, as he pushed his hair back with his right hand. Damn, that looks so sexy. That's why girls still hit on him even though they know that he's gay. He's actually out in the closet since he came out to his parents when we were in 7th grade. Well, his parents didn't say anything that could hurt him. In fact, they said that they already knew that he was gay. Cuz' when he was a child he prefers barbie dolls more than a car toy. And they're cool with it.

" Oh, how may we help you ladies? " said Sean while smiling at them. The two ladies giggled.

" Hi, I'm Shawntelle " the woman wearing an off-shoulder dress said while gently putting her right hand on Sean's left hand. " And I'm Valerie, " the other woman said while looking at me, winking. " Hi!" both of us said in unison.

" So, we're wondering if you're free after this? " Shawtelle said while twirling her finger through her hair. " Yes, and maybe we can have some fun! " Valerie says. You can hear the seductiveness in her voice. Every man will definitely agree and have some fun with them. But sorry babes. We're gay.

I chuckled. I was about to speak when sean spoke and say " But what should I do?"

Shawntelle and Valerie make a confused faces. " What do you mean? " Valerie says. Shawntelle nodded with her eyebrows furrowed.

" Hon, I'm gay," he said while sipping in his iced americano and trying to maintain his leg-over-leg cross posture. They didn't talk for a second, shocked by what Sean said to them.

"... Y-you're joking, right? " Valerie stuttered her voice while looking at Sean. He laughed mockingly " Do I look like I'm joking? " he says. Looking down at his fingernails. I looked at their faces. Shawntelle 's shocked expression replaced a disgusted expression. And Valerie's cheek turning to red while looking at me, her eyes wide open, I nodded and just gave her an apologetic smile.

" Huh? What the hell. You're disgusting" while crossing her arms and raising her right eyebrow. Sean immediately stands and says " I didn't ask for your opinion." he said rolling his eyes at her.

I was pissed at what she said to Sean that's why I confronted her and told her" And says who! The one who wants to sleep with someone she doesn't even know. You're more disgusting than him." I laugh." Oh, just saying" " I said while standing up as I take Sean's hand and walked away.

- - -

We're already inside the class. Sean and I were seated in the last row. " Pft- did you see that girl's expression when you told her she's more disgusting than me? " Sean said laughing. " No, I didn't " I grin at him. " If you just saw her you will probably laugh at her face. It was like her world dropped upside down. And she covered her face." He tried to hold his laugh, but he couldn't. I laugh at his laughter.

" Good morning, class! I'm a substitute for Mrs. Lopez because she's sick. So I will be your adviser for this week. And I'm Mrs. Smith. A quick rollcall for you guys! Just say present if you are here! " she said while smiling, and holding the attendance. " Angelica!" Mrs. Smith said while she rearrange her glasses on her face. " Present!" Angelica says.

Angelica, the goddess of our department. She's pretty, kind, and good at her studies too. She had a crush on me once but I turned her down. But she says that it's fine and doesn't let it bother me.

I didn't listen to the other name she said and took my cellphone out of my pocket. Oh right, Clervin gave his number to me. I Immediately took the paper he gave from my pocket. I have already saved his number on my phone. I'll text him later.

" Gain! "

Oh, that's me. " Present! But it's pronounced as ' ga-yin ', not 'geyn ' maam! " I told Mrs. Smith while looking at her. She also looked at me, she nodded and smiled at me.

I decide to text Clervin. Why not? this is once in a lifetime.

Gain**: Hi! This is Gain. You gave me your phone number to me earlier at the cafe.**

Clervin: Yeah, I know. Because I won't just give my number to someone ^^

I didn't expect him to reply immediately.

Gain**: But I'm that someone...**

Clervin**: Except you. I guess you're special:>**

Gain: Stop, please! You're making me fall for you.

Clervin**: Then fall for me. I'll catch you with my embrace.**

**" **I see. He's good at flirting\, huh." Sean said looking at my phone." Geez\, since when are you looking at my phone?" I said while looking at him. He looked at me too "Since you started smiling like crazy " he said with a weird smile on his face." Why are you even reading our conversation? " I smirked at him. He rolled his eyes on me " I'm bored."

Gain: You, you're good with words, huh. You don't have a class?

Clervin**: I don't have a class this morning but I have a class at 1 in the afternoon.**

Gain**: Oh\, I see. What major are you in?**

Clervin**: Civil engineering\, I'm pretty good at math. How about you?**

Gain**: Architecture\, I'm good at drawing\, that's why.**

Clervin**: Didn't know that you're pretty smart. Btw\, are you free this Saturday?**

Gain**: Yes\, why?**

Clervin**: Do you want to watch a movie with me?**

Gain**: Sure\, of course\, you can!**

Clervin**: Ok\, Saturday then. See you ^.^**

The first subject ended with Sean and I giggling.

That's it for the second chapter guys! Did you also make a mistake in pronouncing gain's name? HAHA. See you in the next chapter guys.
