A Cup Of Painful Love

"What's the matter, ma'am? Is there any problem?" He asked as his lips curved upwardly. I'm starting to think that it'd be better if I cancel this but... this is my only chance. Siya na lang 'yong natitira kong pag-asa. If he doesn't agree with it then I'm doomed. What a pain... "I like the coffee..." I innocently smiled. "I mean, I love it." I gave a glance at the coffee. Tiyak na mamaya, magpa-palpitate na ako kakainom ng kape. "Oh, I see," it looked like he doesn't realized it that quick. "Uhm... thank you! Thank you, ma'am." His smile widened to the point that I could see the complete set of teeth from him. "Can you do a little favor for me?" My voice was almost a whisper. Well, I'm kinda conscious on the words I'm saying. I couldn't afford to make a mistake – even small. It's too risky. "Yes, ma'am. Of course!" As expected from my number one barista. Diligent-type talaga kaya pasok na pasok sa standard ko – not that I like him... it was just that he was an ideal man. "Be my... boyfriend," Pahina nang pahina ang boses ko. Sobra ang lakas ng t***k ng puso ko dahil nakakakaba naman talaga 'tong ginagawa ko! It took a minute before he approached me again. His smile was already gone. "No," I didn't move any muscles. This is a pain. Really. I knew it. This is what I was expecting to happen but... this is really a pain! Shit. Okay, calm down. I still have my second plan. I don't have to worry. "Come on, Rienn. I'm offering you one hundred thousand just to be my date for one day! It's not hard, right? The one hundred thousand is all yours, you just need to be my boyfriend – and look, it's only for one day. Easy money. What do you think?" I was breathing hard. I was desperate – I am really desperate to have him. That would do the trick. No one could turn down my offer. Specially him. I don't know anything about him but I was sure of one thing – he needed the money. He let out a deep sigh before smiling to me. "Sorry, ma'am. It's a no." He said and turned his back to me.
