On the way home, I stopped to grab a coffee at a local cafe. I walked in and stood in line. I took in the decor of the cafe and was amazed at how home-y it felt. I decided that this was going to be my abditory. Once it was my turn at the resister, I ordered a vanilla tea for me and an iced caramel latte for my mother. As I was about to pay, someone reached over me and placed money on the counter in front of me as he ordered.

"I'll pay for her order. Can I please have a green tea as well?" the man said.

I spun around to find Leo looking at the cups of tea and coffee that were placed on the counter. What is he doing here? I turned around to grab my tea and mothers coffee. I followed him to a table next to the window that was looking out at the street. I quietly sipped my tea as I watched all the people walk down the street. I wonder what it's like to be someone so care-free. I was pulled out of my thoughts when Leo called my name.

"I'm sorry what did you say?" I asked as I turned my attention to him.

"I was asking why you weren't in school?" he asked as he pointed to my uniform.

"Why aren't you at work?" I fired back as I looked over his expensive suit.

"I'll tell you once you tell me why you aren't in school." he replied with a dazzling smile that made me smile and relax more. He is quite a charmer, isn't he?

"Ok that is fair. I made five of my professors quite." I replied with a victorious smile.

"Re-really?" he sputtered with a look of disbelief. Ha, I bet you haven't heard that before.

"Yep. The longest one lasted thirty minuets. Luckily I do not need any more credits to get my degree and my course work is finished for my other ones. I only need my surprised hours." I replied as I finished my tea.

"Oh…. Well I come here to get away from work. Plus it has way better coffee and tea than anything closer to work or home. And it was on the way to a building that my company has designed but they came across an unexpected flaw in the ground making it difficult to place an exhibit there. So I am on my way to go inspect the area to hopefully come up with a suitable fix." he replied as the smile left his face.
