Too Gentle (2)

Osman indeed didn't take long, quickly coming back to her with a cup of coffee in hand.

"Careful, it's still hot," he offered the cup with a smile as he sat beside her, holding his own cup of coffee to drink from. Bella saw him sniff it, so he copied what he was doing on her own cup.

"I also love tea, but I guess I prefer this one because of its bitter and sweet taste," Osman commented on the beverage. "I love to add sweeteners to it, so I took the liberty of doing the same blend to your cup. I hope you'll like it."

Looking at the steaming beverage, Bella blew on it and then took a sip. Smacking her lips, she nodded with an approving hum. It was pretty good.

"It's nice," she commented. "Thanks."

"You're welcome."

The two of them sat in silence for while, both of them content with simply sipping on their coffee in each other's presence.
