Episode 5 : That guy!!

Hi, I'm Clara, a normal university student. I'm a simple girl, and I'm kind of introverted, so I don't have many friends all I have is books and a friend called Robert.

Robert is my only friend other than books. He is the owner of a book and coffee store, as his book store was close to my house and I loved his handmade coffee a lot, I became a regular customer in his shop, that's how we gradually became friends.

Every evening going to his store, reading books and having a cup of coffee made by him became a habit of mine.

Now it's evening and as always I'm going to meet my friends, books and Robert.

*after entering the shop I went to the counter and greeted Robert with a smile in a low voice as I always do.*

"Good evening, Robert.(^^) How are you today? Please make my coffee a little more sweet today because I'm in a good mood."

I stood in front of the counter and I suddenly felt like Robert has grown taller?! Huh? How did he grew taller in one night?

The boy who was standing on the counter and doing something turned around towards me and gave a polite smile.

He wasn't Robert. I became a little embarrassed as he wasn't Robert and I greeted him naturally as I used to greet Robert.

With a gentle smile the boy said, "Hi, miss. It looks like you are Robert's friend, I'm his big brother."

Clara : Oh! yeah, I'm Robert's friend. Hi. Umm... May I ask where is Robert?

The boy : Robert has a fever since yesterday, so he won't be coming to the shop for the time being and as I was here to visit him I thought about coming to the shop and help.

Clara : Oh, okay.

while extending his hand for handshake he introduced himself saying, "Oh, I forgot to introduced myself.My name is Robin, You can call me Robin."

When he extended his hand with a gentle smile he was looking so fine and his smile was making me feel so calm, I hesitated a little at first and then shook hands with him and said, "Hi, Robin. I'm Clara. You can call me by my name too."

Robin : You are really pretty Clara...

Hearing the words I unconsciously started blushing and my face became all red.

Robin : Eh! Why is your face suddenly getting all red? Are you having a fever?

Clara : No.. no, it must be because it's a little hot today so....

Robin : Uh! Hot.... But isn't it actually cold today...

Ummm!! or is it because of me? I'm sorry actually I'm not good with words and speak whatever comes in my mind. I'm sorry if I said something wrong.

Clara : No... no... it's not like that.

Robin : Okay, Clara. Then tell me what kind of coffee do you like I will make it for you.

Clara : It's ......

Then I'm going to sit on that corner....

Robin : Go ahead, I will take it to you.

I hurriedly went to the seat, and kept wondering what was wrong with me today? when I saw that boy smiling, why was my heart beating so fast all of a sudden?!

Am I so weak? or is it because that no one ever complemented me while looking so genuine?!

Ugh!! I might have gone crazy. I should just forget all this and read my books.

saying that to myself, I started reading books.

"Let me take a minute of yours, can you please taste the coffee and tell me how is it? Actually it's been a long time that I made coffee so I'm not sure", Robin came and stood in front of me with the coffee in his hands.

Clara : Uh! okay.

I tasted the coffee and I was surprised because it was too good.

Clara : "Ummm!! This tastes really good. Robert's coffee is good but this is just too good. I never knew it can taste like this too"

"Haha! Thank You." The boy smiled and I felt like my heart was about to pop out of my chest.

"Wel....welcome" *blushed*

This guy and his smile....!!
