Timothy

It was 14th of February, Valentine's day. Timothy told me to come at the campus hall. I was excited meeting him. I have a crush on him since our first year.

I bought a flower for him, it's a sunflower the shining flower in the land, his favorite, we're friends, so it's alright to give him one. I comb my ash gray dyed hair, I only comb my hair for special occasions and this day is special, I also bought a box of chocolates, shaped like a heart

I was so excited and it's obviously shown in my face. I went to the hall. Just as I walk to the entrance. Roses' petals are on the floor making a path, and candles light the way. I was smiling from ear to ear showing my happiness.

I walked inside and saw Timothy, with Katherine on his lap, she's kissing him on his neck and his cheeks, I don't know but, I feel like I was played. I looked at Timothy he seems happy?.

Katherine is madly infatuated with Timothy. That explains it. Timothy and Katherine must've been dating. But... Why did he told me to come? Is he playing with me? My chest started to hurt, I felt the pain.

My tears fell to the floor, I want to throw chairs at them but I can't, cause I'm just a boy who's weak and a boy who caught feelings for another boy

but a boy is only for a girl.

I'm not a girl.

I was crying silently, and now I know how it hurts, it hurts more than anything. I threw the chocolates at the bin then run away without minding the other people seeing me running as my tears fell to the ground.

But that was three years ago, past is past, I have a new life, who needs love anyways, I went back to my father, but he doesn't approve his son for being attracted to boys, so he bought me a small house and reopened his old Cafe.

"Good morning sir!" I greet the person ordering black coffee. He looked at the board, he also ordered, strawberry cupcake, my specialty.

He smiled at me and went to the tables. I went to my small kitchen, heated the water for the coffee, prepare the cupcake cups, and the pan. I already have a stored dough from yesterday night.

I put the pan at the oven, then prepare the strawberries. I cut the little leaf thing above it, and cut it in half.

A few minutes later, I finished baking and took off the cake out of the pan. The pink icing was ready to be placed.

I put the Strawberry on top of the icing. I was smiling at the customer while serving it. He also smiled at me.

I told him the WiFi password, because that's what everyone's question, when eating here in the cafe.

He thanked me, then I went back to the counter.

I was about to sit down and read a ******* story but... *Kling* someone entered the cafe, black turtle neck, black coat, and a black face mask. Like is he from a burial?

"Ahm, can I-" he stopped talking when he looked at my face. I was weirded out, and wiped my face with a small towel from my forehead to my chin, then to my neck.

"Theo?" He said in a questioning tone.

"Yes, I'm Matheo Lynch." I said, awkwardly, "Do I know you?"

He stopped looking at my face and looked at the board instead. "One Avocado cupcake please, and ahmm, cappuccino." He said.

I smiled at him and went to the kitchen, I saw him still standing at the counter looking at me. "Sir, you can sit down" I told him, then smiled.

He sat at one of the tables near the counter, he looked at me again, but when I look at him he, looks away pretending that he's looking at the walls.

"Here's your cupcake and your one cappuccino." I served his ordered coffee and cupcake. He looked at his coffee and played with the milk foam on top of the coffee.

Another customer came in, a girl wearing a cozy shirt and black pants. I went to the counter, quickly. The guy wearing a mask looks kinda familiar, he has those asian hazel eyes. And also his voice, it's kinda familiar.

I was thinking of it that I lose focus.

"Ahm? Sir?" The customer said.

I woke up from thinking too much. She told me her order, Black coffee. I went to the kitchen while she find her seat.

The guy wearing a face mask was looking at me. I feel like he's looking at me all the time, what a creep.

That guy who's been looking at me finished his cupcake and coffee, I went to his table to clean the dishes, he gave me a tip and then leave.

A stylish lady walked in, she's wearing a very pointy style. She was with her assistant wearing a formal black tux.

"Good morning ma'am, can I get your order?" I greet her, with a very welcoming smile.

"I love that attitude, keep that" she said, she then also smiled at me, "can you get me a special order?" She said.

"The special one as I am" she looked at the small mirror to look at her self.

"Ma'am, do you want a caramelized Cookie crumble and warm black chocolate frappé, it has a very low sugar content, no trans fat, and very stylish, it suits your outfit maam" I told her while smiling.

I know what fashion icons and models always wants, a no trans fat and low sugar content, so I made that up.

"ooh, you already know me huh?" She said. "Ok, I'll take one."

She sat down near our aesthetic wall and took some pictures. The two customers left in my cafe was looking at her, with an widely opened eyes, starstruck.

"OMG! Hi!" The girl was so happy, she spoke to the lady, "You look so gorgeous!" The girl said. The lady looked at her with a high brow.

The lady smiled and said, "I'm born gorgeous" then back to her photos.

The girl was smiling as she walks to the counter to order a cupcake, "who is she?" I asked her with a normal voice.

"You must be joking, she's Luicita Johnson, the number one american fashion icon in the whole world." She said with a big smile. That seems exaggerated.

"here you go madam" I handed her the frappé.

"I like your hair style" she said. I smiled at her and went back to the counter, waiting for customers.

I was curious about her, for I didn't even heard of her. I once again asked the girl who talked to me. "She became a model for the three biggest companies!"

"She also became an title holder for the most beautiful hand made gown, just wow! So talented"

She keeps explaining everything about Luicita. A few customers came while the girl and I were chatting.

A hour has passed and Luicita left the cafe, the girl and I became friends and she wants to work for me, for she's unemployed, she leaves alone, and she also have an experience being a waitress at a diner back in Korea.

The next day, Stephanie was very excited

"I'm Park Stephanie, can i take your order?" she said, she was practicing while I was tidying the kitchen, then smiled, I gave her the uniform. It looks good on her.

A customer came inside. It's her first customer, She greets the man with a very welcoming smile.

The customer seems to like her.

"One brown coffee and some bread sticks." She said as what the man ordered.

I prepared the coffee and heated the bread sticks. She was standing near the counter waiting for people to come. I handed her the tray with the coffee and bread sticks.

The man likes her attitude, I think the man likes her also.for the man's been blushing while she's serving.

My phone vibrated, I grabbed it and looked at our page. "Luicita Johnson tagged Mr. Coffee on a post" said. I clicked it and was happy to see her post.

"I really love this cafe, I prefer you guys try this cafe" said on her post with her photos and the frappuccino. It already have 24k likes and 10k shares just for an hour, she really is a very famous person.

"Luicita tagged us in her post" I said, while looking at my phone. She was excitedly walking towards me. She looked at my phone, then started screaming in happiness as she reads the post. Like she's been in my Cafe for years.

The next day, the man from the other day came again, and just like the other day he kept his eyes again at me, but everytime I looked at him, he looks away. I never saw his full face.

He's been coming back at the cafe everyday for a week, and doing the same thing, and still wearing a mask. After he finished his coffee, he gave me his tip, not in the table, but he grabbed my hand and gave me a piece of paper.

He left.

"Meet me near the Big Ben, 9:00 in evening, Please come" written in the paper

I was wondering who he really is. Not that I'm overthinking, but what if he'll kill me, then lock me in his basement.

Something in me, wants me to go and see him, and something in me also doesn't want to. I'm not desperate to see his face but...

I kinda felt guilty if I leave him hanging, so I decided to go near Big Ben, but with Stephanie on my side.

We came at the Big Ben at exact time he said. It's really stunning, the view of the Big Ben, the London eye, the bridge. I never thought that London could be this beautiful.

Stephanie and I waited near the highway. I took a second just to look at my phone, and then Stephanie tapped my shoulder. "There's Mr. Face mask over there" she said and pointed at the person standing near the bridge.

It was the guy who always looks at me everytime he went to my cafe. He turn around and saw us, then runs towards me, I was shocked as he hug me tightly in front of Stephanie.

He stopped hugging me, then I was stunned after his hug, "Theo! You came!" He said in a joyful tone.

"you're the guy who always stares at me at work, right?" I said.

"Oh, sorry"

He looked at me in the eye, his eyes was full of joy as what I see. He removed his mask and started crying.

"I miss you" he said and then hugged me.

He's Timothy. I never thought he'll see me here in London. He's from the Philippines, where I used to live before.

He hugged me tighter. Stephanie at my back was smiling at us and eating her baked cupcakes.

I was happy seeing him, but also mad at the same time, I don't know what to do, I don't know what kind of feeling is this, meeting someone who hurt your feelings, thinking that you already moved on.

I thought I already moved on... I guess I never did.
