100 Days With Mr Romero

It had been two weeks. Two weeks since I had last seen Gideon. I had fallen into a normal routine without a memory of Gideon. Except he was still in my head. It was hard really, to forget a face like his, a skill like his.

That morning, when he had dressed back into his suit. A silent agreement has been passed between the both of us. We had both agreed, it was going to be a one time thing. We were going to fall back into the life we had before knowing each other. He had placed a long sweet kiss on my mouth, mumbling incoherent words as he left the house and without a goodbye glance.

It was the rule. The normal one night stand rule. Maybe I should have convinced him to be my friends with benefits? Would that have quenched the ever lasting hunger of him in me? Gideon followed my every touch. I got so familiar with his cologne immediately I smelt what the same type in the mall, i had jumped at it and picked it. Although it had caused a dent in my pocket.

I smiled at the next customer that entered into the coffee shop, smiling professionally at them. It was a woman, probably in her early forties with a young boy grabbing unto her hands. She was in a yellow sundress, silver sandals complementing her summer look. She has cute chubby cheeks which she puffed out as the little boy began whining again.

She bent down to his size, picked him up and laughed when the boy pouted his red lips and smiled at her. The sight was one to behold and it made my heart beat faster. Being a parent could be cute at times. Probably in the next five years, I should have my own baby. After meeting The One of course.

Are you sure you haven’t met him?

“Good day ma’am, what may I order for you?” I smiled at the lady just as she got to where I was. My hands were folded above my mini apron.

“I’d like a cappuccino please, and a fruit juice for this young boy.” She smiled back, still carrying the boy in her arms.

I got to work immediately, using the coffee machine to make her, her order.

“I’m not a young boy mummy, I’m a big boy.” He told her and she just laughed.

The day flew by quicker than I expected and I was already preparing to resume in my other part time job, which was working at a bar. Getting a job hasn’t been easy as I had thought and the only way I could at least feed myself without using my parents money was to get varieties of part time jobs.

Of course, Lily and even her dad had volunteered to help me countless of times and I was starting to think the decision of accepting their offer. I mean, if I was also in Lily’s position I would do the same thing from me.

I stumbled out of the coffee shop, after throwing a quick goodbye at Warner, our head waiter while smiling at other part time workers. Most of them were high school students and at times, I felt insecure around them.

“Hey Ems, you arrived early today.” Olivia, the girl who worked the afternoon shifts at the bar hollered and I just smiled. Anything would have done it to get out of there. I was getting so distracted and I needed a little time to think. I couldn’t risk going back home as I woods delay too much time if I were to return back.

“I wanted to chill, you know? Make a bit of time for myself. Heaven knows I really need a short break.” I groaned, placing myself on the bat chair.

“Go for a vacation… and catch a little fun.” She winked at me.

“Vacation? That would have been a good way to relax if I had enough budget plans for that. I just started part time shifts and I’ve only saved a little amount of time. And as for fun, heaven knows I’ve had one to last me for a long, long time.”

Olivia paused a bit, a teasing look crossing her face, “ouuu, gimme the dirty gist. Who tickled your pickle?”

“What? What do you mean? No one tickled whatever. Pftt.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Now, you are just acting all suspicious and asking for an interrogation from me.” She dropped the napkin and focused her full attention on me.

Damn, this girl really could be persistent if she wanted to be.

“Fine, fine. Remember the outing I went with Lily?” I asked her and she nodded a little bit. From the on start, I had tried to merge her with Lily but their personalities clashed so they both were comfortable to be acquaintance.

“Well, I met this guy when I was drunk. I was barely conscious but I remember seeing a blue kinda green eyed man. And then, I passed out. To cut the long story short, I woke up in an office. The man’s office to be precise and i was embarrassed but hot and bothered at the same time.” I paused a little. Olivia signaled her head for me to continue to my tell tale.

“I went to the bathroom, got out and he kinda like asked both of us to do it. Yunno, with my consent of course. I was already wild down there and as we were about to start, his phone rang and he got distracted. We later ended up meeting later that night and we had sex, lots of it. He treated me like a romantic partner and I don’t know maybe because I’ve read a lot of romantic books, my heart melted. The next day, we both went out separate ways as we had decided it was going to be a one night stand kinda thingy.” I finished whole Livvie’s mouth was wide open.

“You mean to tell me, all that happened and I wasn’t even informed. Back to the important things. How big is he? Did he go hard? Oh, oh, did he break the bed? Muscles.. does he have nice ones?” She all but rushed out all the question which led to my laughter.

“Girl, chill. He’s big I guess. He also has nice muscles.” I said to her, almost blushing even.

“Youuu hoeee.” She exclaimed and I couldn’t help but laugh after her. Quickly, she grabbed a napkin before swiping it over the table again before Max, one of the head of staff caught her and decides to punish her and deduct out of her paycheck.

Ever since Livvie started working in the bar KINGS, Max had been disturbing her and asking her out on so many dates. Which she refused of course, I think his ego got insulted and now he’s like a predator always trying Livvie set her hands on.
