She's The Troublemaker

Chapter 4 - Are You Serious ?

"Melissa is that you ?" I turned to face the devil himself ? to tell you the truth I was shocked. Damn shocked. As usual, I would only see him in his three piece suit but today he was in a baby blue t-shirt and black track pants. But he was still sporting a Rolex and had that arrogant i***t look. But it was my duty to ask him what he would like to have.

" Yes, it is me. So what would you like to have Mr.Ki-" I got cut-off before I could even finish.

"Xavier," he said

" Sorry sir, we don't have that in our menu," I said. Little did I realize that he had said his name and not the order. I felt embarrassed no worst I felt insulted and dumb to even answer like that.

" I meant to call me Xavier, Melissa" the was he said my name was so intense like some killer or stalker calls you before you are going to die. But why in the world did he wanted me to call him by his name? He's my boss and I am his employee so in terms of professionalism, he must not allow or even think of giving a chance to call him by his name.

" But sir you are my boss. So I don't think it's necessary to call you by your first name. Sir " I said, "Now, what would you like-"

"Xavier. Say it, it isn't a hard name like Quinn " he said. Was he seriously playing with me and also ruin my first day of the job. I felt so sad, what would happen to his wife? She would have to live with such an irritating person. RIP.

"You aren't gonna give an order until I say your name right ?" I asked. Clearly frustrated and ready to punch the hell out of him, if he wasn't my boss.

" Technically Yes "

"Alright. So what would you like to have, Xavier " I said it with so much venom that the name Xavier was equal to Harry Potters snake language. Xaaaviiiieeeersss, yup that's what it sounded like.

" I would like an American coffee, please, " he said

" Not espresso? I thought you would order that " I mumbled, but thank my bad stars. He heard it.

" Should I ask what I like and what I don't like Melissa ?" He said. I just wished he stopped saying my name over and over like he had heard it for the first time. The way he said it was doing things to me, it was very odd for me to feel like this.

" No, sir. One American coffee, coming right up " I said and turned around to leave, when someone grabbed my wrist. I looked back to see devil holding my wrist.

" Yes sir, " I said it with gritted teeth

" Sit here for a minute, " he said. Like literally, I can't, I won't and I will not sit here mister. You bloody son of Satan, I mean minion or whatever. How dare you even hold my god damn wrist. I wanted to say that but alas I couldn't. According to my aunt's number 1 rule - Even if the customers are stupid, never talk to them impolitely.

" Sorry, sir-" I was about to say no when I got cut off again.

" Oh, who is this handsome young lad. Why....do you need something? Something like my famous brownie ? " my aunt chirped in. She was looking at both if of us and then settled her gazed on me. As if asking seriously-how-did-you-find-him?.

" No mam. I was just asking whether Melissa could spend some time with me. Like only a minute " he said. He flashed a perfect smile at my aunt. She buys it. She stood in front of me, grabbed me by the shoulders and said -

" Melissa dear, please sit with this lad. What's your name dear ?" She said

" Xavier, " he said. I was starting to hate that name so much that even if I meet another person and their name is Xavier. I would kick their ass.

" Mel sits with Xavier, " my aunt said while looking at me dead in the eye. For the first time in forever, she looked scary almost like a serial killer. My aunt took his order from me and passed it over to Ashley, Who smiled at him sweetly. But to my surprise, he didn't smile at her.

" Fine, " I said and went over to sit directly opposite to him, even though there was a chair beside him.

" Now shoot. Mr.kin-" I started to but then I remembered he wouldn't answer me so I dropped it. " Now shoot. Xavier " I said. A smile crept on his face as my face turned into one of a batman trying to speak to joker. But I loved joker, just not this joker who sat in front of me.

" I am glad you understood me. I just wanted to say you something from a long time " he said as he looked at me. I just stared at him and then narrowed my eyes at him. Because it was kind of creepy when your boss held your hand all of a sudden. As soon as I did that, his hand swept away. Good for him.

" I-I wanted to apologize for that day -"

" You wanna say sorry right ?" I said

"Yeah. This is the first time I am apologizing to someone. So, don't interrupt. Okay as I was saying I wanted to take back those words. I knew they were rude and mean but I didn't expect to go so far. You were right, I shouldn't have you know -"

" You mean screwed her right?"

" Yup and I apologize for that, " he said. As he left a sigh of relief I didn't know to apologize was so difficult. For starters, I was the one who always compromised, suffered and took the blame. Looking at his face I realized that it was still tight and not relaxed it must have been difficult I suppose. I cleared my throat as his gaze fixed upon me.

" Apology accepted, " I said and smiled at him. Why I smiled and why did I apologize, I sing know. Yeah, it's quite different when I forgive without a reason and even smile without a reason. What's happening to you, Mel ? Get a grip.His face relaxed for a minute and then his smile crept on his face. To tell the truth he looked different when he smiled almost non-devilish. He stood up, I followed his suite and then strolled towards the cash counter and slammed up 100 dollar bill on the desk. I looked at the bill my eyes wide as saucepans. He came back at me still smiling, he took my hand which was hanging by my side and placed another 100 dollar bill. I looked back at him in confusion.

Not answering me, He leaned over to my side, his head close to my ear and said -

" Your service was excellent. Hope to come soon ." He said and turned to leave. When I realized I had to ask a much important question than this.

" Mr. Ki-Xavier, " I said. On my command, he turned back and wriggled his eyebrows at me. I looked at my sides and saw everyone busy in their own world. Aunt, Ethan and everyone else was busy with their own set of chores. I looked at him again and said -

" Yes?" He said

" First of all you didn't drink the coffee, second you paid for it and third do I still have my job?" I asked

" Technically yes "

" Fourth why did you come here ?" I asked. No, I wasn't threatening him but actually, I knew he of all people I know wouldn't come here without a reason. Even if he just found this cafe or it was his destination I didn't know. But somewhere deep I already knew the answer but I just wanted to hear it from his mouth.

" Because.....I wanted to see you " he said and swung the door open and left. I just stood there for a minute or 10 minutes, I wasn't aware. But somehow I wanted to see him again just for a minute, even though I hated him.

'Because I wanted to see you .....'

The words stayed but he didn't ......
