DON'T COME TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING
GATHERINGS

Today was enough. A few boxes of milk, whole wheat bread, instant noodles, soda, and other groceries necessities. Because of the six, of course our needs become more. Well, I'm a little sorry I didn't accept Eva's offer to shop together. The trolley in front of me was almost full, while there were still some grocery lists I had to buy. Let's just have another time.

Almost missed. Moccachino Coffee ! But where it is. My eyes swept through one item there but to no avail. On the shelf next to where ya. Usually just shopping at a supermarket near the house, this time I was desperate to go to one of the four big supermarkets in this city whose market share is certainly bigger and wider. So to find the instant drink area I had a little trouble.

After asking one of the employees, apparently the coffee rack and creamer was not far from where I was standing. Dad, how could I not know. While walking down the hallway, my eyes caught a row of coffee boxes. Yas, that's it !

Hmm, actually for a cup of moccachino can easily enjoy it in a subscription store. But it is not a bad idea to buy some boxes for stock in the kitchen. Coffee as delicious as this is the right choice as a friend staying up late doing the task.

"Sorry.."

I'm choked. A hand also wants to take it. Our eyes meet. A man, with a beautiful blue-eyed face. His tall body, made him stand taller than me. We were so close, even just a few inches from his chest that the field was covered in a white sweater.

Is she a model or an artist ? Why is the world so picky. Some people are born with this beautiful face. Oh, my God, I barely blinked. Eyes squealing. Seeing me wrong, he smiled as he gave the coffee box to me.

At first, I thought this guy also wanted to buy it because on the shelf the brand was only one left. When I was about to deliver, who would have thought he refused.

"I see you having trouble taking it. So I'm trying to help"

He speaks with a distinctive British accent.

He smiled back. Showing dimples and rows of teeth neat as white as milk. My heart was beating irregularly.

"Te. thank you. Ma. sorry to bother"

I retreat to the cashier. Dare not look at him for a second. This incident should look romantic like in tivi-tivi. But honestly, it's a little embarrassing. Was I that short until he felt the need to help ? Ah, goddamn. I dare not look back. Has he left already ?

Alba in the hand pointed at two o'clock in the afternoon. My stomach can't be compromised when it comes to food. All right, I stopped by the foodcourt. Not budging, my gait was shaking, apparently from Eva.

- My friend wants to get acquainted. When can you go with us-

Ah, is this important now ?

I disregarded it. The escalator took me upstairs.

That man, are you a local ? If so, he will definitely stop by this mall often. But how can I see him again. Her gentle gaze, her smile, ah I can go crazy ! How can this be so naive. Isn't it normal and very natural if there are men to give help to others who are in trouble. Remember, it's just about a box of coffee. Why should I feel so special to be treated.

After ordering food, I headed to one of the tables. My tray almost spilled. I'm appalled. Someone across the street waved a hand and wished I had sat down at a table with him. The stranger !

My hands are trembling a little. Stupidly this foot kept stepping towards him. Ah, how is this. Should I pretend not to see. Too late, don't come closer. But this heart is like out of sync between the legs and the brain.

"I'm sorry I thought you were alone"

He said as I stopped near the table where he was sitting.

I'm confused what to say. This was the first time I met a stranger and acted as if we were familiar. Usually not like this. Really am. I'm not the type to mix. Even in the campus, I made a little boundary with the locals. Especially to a man. I don't know. Maybe I'm too conservative and overrated.

"What's wrong. I was just alone"

Huh ? What ? why all the words, just the words, 'ONLY ALONE' that I emphasize there ? He can think things out. I moaned. Why is today so careless.

Okay, no problem like that. Just eat a table together, a little talk stale and of course the memory of today will be forgotten just as we go home ! That's the concept later !

The man in front stood up, then pulled a chair for me. So polite. Hmm. but it looks like I need to tidy up a little makeup. Shopping in the market for a few hours certainly makes my face very chaotic like an oil refinery.

"I'm sorry I went to the toilet for a second"

He nodded. I quietly walked while occasionally glancing at him. Be careful it must be. Who knows when he's not there he'll mix up something I eat. The day ? In a crowded place ? Near the CCTV ? I was making it up. Anybody who doesn't have a job who wants to kidnap a girl who likes to eat like me. I let out a breath.

In the toilet, I swept the powder slowly while patting it several times. When I looked in the mirror, the man's reflection was everywhere. Haish. Is there something wrong with my eyes. Ah maybe this is the effect of too many tasks from the lecturer so that the mind becomes chaotic. After rubbing the thin lipstick onto the lips, I decided to rush back to the table.

This move came to a halt when he saw her conversing with a servant. They look familiar. Is the young woman his girlfriend or is she just a friend ? But what do I care. Should we just go ? But my groceries are still there.

I'm heading for the table. He smiles. The waiter looked at me dislikefully as it passed. Why I feel uncomfortable anyway. Maybe it's true that she's his girlfriend. What's the deal with me. Right, there is no relationship between us. I should have been able to act ordinary.

"Sorry old"

"No problem"

Kulirik he ate salad. Just a salad ! While me...

"Uhukkkk..."

I almost choked on a piece of steak. How can people be almost blameless like that, his lifestyle is also perfect. What is the lack of it ?

"Are you okay ?"

He ordered a drink for me.

"Its okay. I'm just not used to it. I don't know all of a sudden today want to try steak. I usually order salad, too. Haha"

My words lied. Keep the image is an effort to increase humanist points in community communication relationships. So it doesn't feel right that this is classified as a serious crime, right ? ahem...

Wait, has this drink mixed anything ? why would I just drink it? Why it's as murky yellow as the beer I saw at Eva's house. It also feels weird. Sour citrus-scented and slightly bitter. It's really not right.

"You..you...What did my drink do ?!"

While stuttering I slightly retreated. The man looked just as confused.

"No miss. Looks like you misunderstood"

"You lied to me. You want to kidnap me with beer or some kind of dope. Ah, I feel like I'm gonna get drunk after this"

I said panic.

"Miss, you won't get drunk just because you drink orange juice"

Glug.

For almost ten minutes we were silent. Nervous and awkward to not dare to raise your face. I still don't feel good about accusing him. Sometimes he laughs a little. Ah drat. I'm so ashamed.

"I'm sorry, I thought you'd been drinking lemon juice with ginger and mint water. That's better for you than ordering soda or coffee"

He said he gave an explanation.

I grimaced. It's also my fault for saying I like salad. Maybe he thought, I'm also used to healthy drinks like this. But who drinks herbal juice during the day like this. Huh !

Shortly another service came to deliver my previous order which seemed to be too late to be prepared. And I was stupid to forget that.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, here's your order"

A slice of chicken cordon bleu, burger and potato looks full of trays. Dear God's... I dare not look at the man in front.

"really ? hahaa... I forgot to order it. Maybe it belongs to someone else. Haha"

Answer nervously.

I endured with all my might to reject him. I fell in front of that handsome guy. The middle-aged waiter beside the table looked at me sharply

"Hay, miss... isn't this really your name ?!"

He pointed to the name of the payment instructions. Then continue,

"... D**and I can still recognize your face well. I'm sure it's true !"

"Yes. but.."

The waiter left in annoyance. I'm shocked. It's all collapsed. The man in front of me seemed to be holding a smile.

"It turns out you have good taste for someone who is dieting hehehe"

He laughed a little.

Eva, Lily, or anyone else, please make me faint. Aaaarggh .... !!!
