Chapter 10

He kissed me again. But this time on the lips. I closed my eyes as our lips touched. I met his sweet kisses, it was light and I felt like I was floating.

I felt him smile before he stopped the kiss. I opened my eyes and see two chocolate- colored orbs full of emotions. His lips were closed, he wasn't saying anything. But his eyes, oh his eyes, they were saying everything! His eyes were full of emotions and I smiled which also made him smile.

We both went outside smiling. Well, actually, just me. Kevin is back with his usual stoic face.

But I know deep inside he's also shivering because of shyness. His ears were red. From my peripheral vision I knew he looked at me and smiled a bit.

I noticed the girls and Slip staring at us with a naughty smile on the lips. They'll tease us, that I know. Hayss.

Marina was about to say something and I chose to glare at her. But she didn't held back. She grinned at me.

"Eyyy, when's the wedding?"

"Omo, girlll congratss. Kevinnn you're a teen noww."

They shrieked while Slip clapped his hands with a matching whistle and shout. Customers were staring at us, thankfully you can't call it a crowd.

I stopped them because they're so noisy and when they did I turned my back and face our customers to apologize. They answered with a smile so I faced my not-so-naughty employees- notice the sarcasm and they avoided my gaze and made their way to their posts. Tsk, they're really naughty.

I told them to go back to work and my eyes met Kevin. He was also looking at me so I raised a brow at him.

"Flirt later Mr. Solitario, we have work to do", I said to him teasingly.

He smirked before saluting and swiftly gave me a peck on the cheeks. He turned his back after. It was a relief that no one saw because after he did it I immediately turned red.

I also turned my back opposite of Kevin's direction. We continued working and after a few hours the cafe was busy.

I could feel his piercing stares through my back. I was moving awkwardly the whole time because he didn't spare me with his stares.

Everytime I move his eyes were following. So annoying! I said to work first oh my it's so annoying ehe.

Our eyes met once again so I rolled my eyes at him in annoyance. I went back to cleaning but from my peripheral vision I could see his amused eyes and the slight raise of his lips.

I let him because it will lead to nothing if I scold him.

Hayss, you're really a beauty Cleara.

I continued to work and ignored Kevin. I don't care, we won't finish a job if we just flirt.

But I was thinking, what do we call us? Is he mine now? But he didn't say anything.

Tsk. What was that?

But still, i will stake my claims on him.

I didn't notice I was smiling while I'm cleaning.

I suddenly remembered the jacket. Who owns it? I should ask Kevin later after work.

"Psst"

Whistled someone. My smile faded but I continued cleaning the table.

"Psst!"

Darn it! Who is that person cat-calling?!

Annoyed, I threw the dirty cloth at the table and eyebrows forming into a line as I look back to the person who's continously whistling.

When I looked back it was Kevin. My annoyance faded because of his puppy face but I kept my forehead knotting.

He's looking at me like a dog wanting to cuddle with his master. I looked at him quite confused but smiled mentally because of his cuteness.

"What is it? It's still work hours." I bluffed.

"Yeah, well, maybe. Just a minute now and the work is over." Said Marina

Kevin looked at me with this naughty grin plastered on his face.

"What?" I asked.

"Let's date after?" He asked not minding my attitude towards him and smiled even more.

"Hmmm. Lemme think about it."

"What? Why do you have to think about it?"

"Because I want to? Why? Are you complaining?" I jokingly said to him

He pouted his mouth, he looked like a cute puppy to me. I laughed wholeheartedly.

His face lit upon seeing me laugh. "What? Are you agreeing now?" He asked

"Yeah, because you look pityfull enough to me!" I joked and laughed so hard.

He glared at me. I shut up but I was still holding my laugh. He rolled his eyes and blew air. I stood there and laughed again so hard.

"Fine, fine, go take your time." He said and again rolled his eyes on me.

Him doing that made me laugh more. He stood there looking at me as if i was a person with a flower on the ear.

A few minutes passed and my laugh subsided.

"Are you done?" he said sarcastically.

I chuckled and said yes to him

"So? We going on a date? Should we start packing up?" He asked.

I laughed at his eagerness to go and said yes

I called the others and told them we're packing up. They agreed and we closed the cafe.

We bidded our goodbyes to each other and Kevin led me to his car.

"So? Shall we?", he asked and opened the passenger seat for me. He held out his hand which I accepted.

"Yes." I said and hopped in his car. He drove while I observed the road we're passing by.
