“Wow… it really is tasty. It has this overpowering taste which I guess gets people to hook onto it. Now, I know why Ayla switched from coffee to chai.”
Then I looked at Ika and asked. “Did I pronounce it correctly?”
She chuckled and said, “You did."
I pumped my fist in the air and said, “Yes.”
She grinned and shook her head at my goofiness.
After finishing our chai and pizza, which was a decent combination, I said, “Well…I guess…I should leave now. And you need to get back to your studies.”
Her face fell and she said in a small voice, “Yeah. You're right.”
Then she smiled and said, “Thanks for all of this. I'll see you next week, I guess.”
