First Meeting

"Eli there's a new customer.Table no.9. Go take the order." The owner Mrs. Hopps said.

" Yup Mrs.Hopps!"I said and walked towards the table.

" Hello,welcome to Hopps cafe.I'm Elizabeth and I'll be taking your order.Here's the menu." I smiled at the man in front of me.

This man....he was really attractive.I've never seen someone like him.I guess he's in his twenties.His black wavy but perfectly combed hair made him look more attractive.His bright blue eyes reminded me of ocean.He was cleaned shaved.I could imagine the perfect masculine body under that business outfit of his.

"Geez what are you thinking about Eli." I mentally slap myself.

" A cafe Americano please."He said without looking at me.

" Yes sir.Anything else?"I asked.

"No thanks.thats all." He said.Again without looking up at me.

"Okay sir.Your order is on its way." I smiled and left.

" Mrs. Hopps! A cafe Americano! "I shouted from the counter.

" Okay! "Mrs. Hopps shouted back from kitchen.

I bit my lower lip and looked at table no. 9.This man... I don't know but I found him really attractive. I couldn't take my eyes off of him.

I rolled a hair strand with my finger and kept looking at him. He was working on his laptop. He must be a businessman or maybe even a CEO. he looks really wealthy.

"Ahem Honey bee. Stop day dreaming during working hours." Mrs. Hopps smiled.

"Oh who was day dreaming?" I laughed nervously." I was just thinking about something. "

" Yeah sure. Take it. "Mrs. Hopps passed the cup of coffee.

I took the tray and walked towards table no.9.

"Dear sir, here's your Cafe Americano." I smiled as I slowly put the tray on the table."If you need anything else just call me."

" Thanks."He said again without looking up at me.

I waited there for a moment. What's wrong with him? Why doesn't he look at me? No it's not that I'm saying I'm so pretty that every guy should look at me.It's just... I feel weird when someone talks to me without looking at me...

But I came back to the counter after a minute.I rested my head on my hands and kept staring at the man like a creep.

"Uh huh.Love at first sight?" Mrs.Hopps popped out of nowhere and winked.

"Ugh no.Im just wondering why didn't this man look at me for once."I said.

" Maybe he's married or in a relationship and is so loyal that he doesn't looks at any other woman?Maybe he dislikes woman?Or maybe he's too busy."The woman answered.

" Maybe maybe. "I murmured.

" Okay obviously you are attracted to him. "Mrs. Hopps said.

" Not gonna deny it. "I said in a bored tone.

" Takes back to my teenage days." The woman giggled.

"Oh hoh?What did you do during your teenage days? Oh right I wanted to ask you. How did you and Old Hopps meet? "I wiggled my eyebrows.

" You wanna hear our story? "The old woman narrowed her eyes.

"Yup I wanna hear." I narrowed my eyes too.

"Sure then. But later. Get your butt back to work. "The old woman pinched my cheeks.

" Oi old woman you're hurting me. "I groaned.

" Old woman who? I'm gonna fire you little kid. "Mrs. Hopps laughed and walked into the kitchen.

I really like this woman. She is like a grandma to me. Though she hates being called old woman or grandma. But I love teasing her.She supported me from the very beginning.also old Hopps aka Mrs. Hopps husband. He's a good man too.He also works at this cafe but he went to visit their daughter so it's just me and Mrs. Hopps.

As usual this place became crowded.Everyday around 6-7 it gets crowded here.Mostly filled with workers and teenagers.

I kept working then suddenly I remembered about the man from table no 9.I looked at that table and saw the man still working on his laptop.Its been 2 and 45 minutes since he came.He kept working without giving any other order.

"Should I go and ask?" I thought.

Well I did go to him.

"Dear sir.Do you need anything?It's been almost 3 hours since you came."I asked politely.

" No thank you.I'm leaving anyway."He said.Again without looking up.Womenphobia?Maybe.

" Okay.I'm afraid I've to go take other orders so I can't see you off.Thanks for coming sir.",I smiled.

" Mhm" was the only thing he said.

Then I left to take other orders.But I couldn't stop thinking about the man.Weird one.

will I see him again though?Maybe.Maybe not.
