Chapter 13
.
” No I have no idea,” she replied her father trying to figure out who can pay the debt they owe anonymously. Could it be Chris? But she didn’t even tell him anything about her situation. If he was the one that paid off the loan he wouldn’t have given her that huge amount of money that day.
She still couldn’t believe what her father was saying. It felt like a dream, which means she and her family are safe from all threats.
” You should come home today. To pick up your money and also have dinner with us” her father’s voice woke up from her daydreaming.
” No Dad, I have plans today. you can wire the money to my account. I’ll use it to pay part of my student loan” she said hanging up the call. Who exactly is this stranger? She was sure it was none of her friends because she didn’t even mention it to any of them.
She sigh and back to work, earning a raised eyebrow from her boss because she stayed too long in the changing room. Bri was already behind the counter waiting for her to attend to the long line of customers. She got to work taking their orders and making them the exact way Max and Edna had taught her.
She attends to them half-heartedly, still weighing everything in her kind. Trying to figure out who could have paid the money. So far the line was moving and Sophie was doing her best to get everyone satisfied until it was Cecilia Adler’s turn. Sophie greeted her politely but the woman wasn’t even interested in any form of pleasantries.
” Can you remind me what the sizes are again?” Cecilia said flashing her perfectly manicured hands at Sophie, she puckered her thin lips as if she was the owner of the shop and every other customer came to watch her perform her insanity.
” Ma’am, the menu is right in front of you. Just right above my head see?” Sophie rolled her eyes pointing at the menu board above her head to the customer trying to be as polite as possible. This customer was getting on her nerves already.
” Oh, I can see that. Do you guys have oat milk?” the woman asked again after looking through the menu which doesn’t have any oat milk option.
” No ma’am. It’s not available” Sophie replied politely gritting her teeth so hard they might break. The time she is spending on this one customer is more than what she could have used to complete one order.
” Hmmm, let me look at other options” which took like another three minutes. The customer behind her, a brunette woman in her early twenties, finally fed up with the way she was holding the queue stepped out angrily. The brunette customer tapped Cecilia and the woman turned around.
” excuse me. Some of us are on the line and we don’t plan to wait forever” the woman said angrily and a chorus of exact echoes in the shop.
” But I’ve not made my order yet” Cecilia squeaked put to the annoyance of the remaining customers. They all glared at her as if it will move her away from the spot. Bri who was already wondering why the line was not moving raised her head to see the drama.
” you could have already if you had looked at the damn menu! While you were on the line like the rest of us instead of dumping your preferences that is not on the menu on the barista!” The brunette woman raised her voice angrily.
” Watch how you talk to me! Do you know who I am?” Cecilia said looking at the woman with disgust. Probably annoyed that an ordinary peasant like that is talking to her like that.
” I don’t give two shits about who you are! But you can place your fucking order right now to avoid knowing what I’m like when I’m decaffeinated!” the woman said pointing her finger at Cecilia.
At this point, Sophie doesn’t even know if she should enjoy the drama ensuing in front of her or maintain order at the shop. She was internally grateful to the other customer for coming to her aid.
” I’ll have a caramel macchiato please” Cecilia finally succumbed to the pressure by ordering the first thing she saw on the menu. Sophie made her order as fast as she could so the line can move quickly. The next customer was the brunette woman.
” I’ll have double black with no sugar.” the woman said instantly, Sophie gave her a grateful smile and mouthed thanks which she returned politely.
” Tell me if she doesn’t leave a good tip. I’ll hex her for you” the woman joked and they both laughed. That’s up to Bri to decide later. She wished Max was there, Max could have spat in the coffee of that rude woman to spite her.
The slow time moved and finally, it was the end of her shift. She changed back to her hoodie and said bye to Edna who was loading another batch of cakes to the shelf. The woman waved at her while holding an amused smile. She witnessed the drama but decided to ignore it since it was between customers.
She walked out of the shop inserting one earpiece in her right ear. Looking up she saw the familiar BMW in the opposite building. To make sure the person was Chris, she dialed his number. He picked up immediately.
” Hello,” she said still looking for any movement around the car.
” Baby girl you realized that I can see you right?” he said and she blushed. He was the one, she wondered why he decided to come by himself. He said he was going to send someone. She straightened out her hoodie and walked towards the car, he opened the door and she entered.
They didn’t exchange greetings before he pounced on her, he attacked her lips like a rabid beast already starved of its meal. He held her so close to him as if she might suddenly disappear. She kissed him back with matching passion trying to fight for dominance she knew she would lose sooner enough.
She broke the kiss to take a breath, both of them stare at each other, eyes full of lust as they both pant.
“That was sudden” she blurted out not looking at his eyes. He was the only one in the car so that manage to reduce her embarrassment. Since he was in the back seat, she thought his driver was also there. Thank God the windows were fully tinted.
” I was almost losing my mind thinking about when next I’ll get to kiss you,” he said tilting her head towards him once again. She placed her hands on his neck and capture his lips once again, this time softly. He caress her cheeks, looking at the blush outline, the color of her blush has suddenly managed to become his favorite color. The way she opens her mouth slightly in pleasure and the way her green eyes become a shade darker whenever is in pleasure is his favorite sight.
” You don’t have to. I will always be available for my sugar daddy” she said with a new level of confidence.
” I wish I can see you every time but you have lectures to attend and I am a busy man too” he whispered still playing with her cheeks.
” As if” she scoffed.
” I don’t know much about your schedules but I know you should still be at work” she smirked mouthing the word “busy man” sarcastically.
” Don’t feel that special, I was just free at the moment and besides my company is not far from here” he stated while she just nod her head at him.
” I don’t need to feel special, I know I’m special” She rolled her eyes at him playfully.
” I should spank you right now”
