Chapter 7 : Meeting you

*Sandee*

It was one sunny afternoon when I arrived at Starry Night Café, 5 minutes before the arranged time. Walking into the Café where we are to meet, I took a deep breathe . It was still 1:55PM.

“ Awesome! I am still 5 minutes early” I smiled gentle and turned around to look for an available seat. I was about to sit when I heard a buzz coming from my pants. It was my phone that’s on a vibrate mode.

I checked my phone and it was from an unknown number and this could probably be Max’s number. I didn’t get a chance to save it from the excitement that this arranged marriage is about end now. He surely contacted me first to get this cancelled. Being a superstar, means they cannot just get married as they want or they may lose their fans.

“Hello?” I answered the call and I was right it was Max.

“Hi, it’s Max. I can see you near the window, I’m already inside. Just turn right, near the last counter, I’m wearing a black hat and mask” he said a very low voice.

As I walk towards the table where he seated, he stand up to greet me. I noticed that there are two cups of coffee with him. One of it is on his right hand while the other is on the table and I was astonished seeing that it was my favorite Salted Caramel Mocha Coffee Frappuccinooooo!

How did he know? Oh, well that could be a coincidence…. But.. the one he is drinking is Iced Caramel Cloud Macchiato.

Could this be a coincidence as well? Or he just have the same taste as Axel .

“Hi, Ma---” he stopped me.

“shhhh….this is a public area. You don’t just call me Max in here.” He pulled me closer and whispered to my hear.

*Max*

I arrived an hour before the expected time we could meet. I’m feeling excited and nervous at the same time. Why do I feel this way again? Maybe because I haven’t seen her for a long time. But,… still she is nothing but a whore.

I suddenly fell a pain in my chest. Do I still love and want her deep inside my heart ? I’ve already learned not to trust and love too much.

It’s half past one o’clock in the afternoon now so I ordered us our favorite coffee. Salted Caramel Mocha Coffee Frappuccino , and Iced Caramel Cloud Macchiato.

But, wrong move. These were always the coffee we ordered whenever we visit a coffee shop.

“I hope she wont notice it.” I mumbled staring at the two coffee I just ordered.

Now, it’s about 5 minutes before two o’clock when saw the door opened and smell familiar scent runs through my nose.

It was her, the girl I’ve been waiting for so long has finally come. So, I hurriedly took my phone and dialed her number.

“Hello?” she answered.

“Hi, it’s Max. I can see you near the window, I’m already inside. Just turn right, near the last counter, I’m wearing a black hat and mask” I said a very low voice.

I need to suppress voice since this is a public area many fan could notice my voice.

The more she gets near me, the more I feel tensed but I tried composed myself. I concealed my feelings.

“Hi, Ma---” I stopped her.

“shhhh….this is a public area. You don’t just call me Max in here.” I pulled her closer and whispered to her hear.

“ Uhmm grrr… I think that we’ll have to talk now about the wedding date , won’t we?” I cleared my throat.

“ W-wedding?” she stuttered .

Why do you think I’m here for a chit chat and cancel the wedding? Huh?

“ I-I don’t understand, aren’t we here to cancel the arranged marriage?!

No, darling! Why would I? I am already at the first step of my goal, and just need a few more to avenge myself.

“Well, hmmm…” I stared at her and her beautiful teary eyes just can’t look straight to mine. Cute.

I look a deep breathe and said,

“First, I am not here to cancel it.

Second, have a coffee and try to calm yourself down.

Third, I agreed to marry you and it’s final.”

End of Chapter 7
