They both walked in silence to the coffee shop which was literally an one minute walk. The only thing going through Trisha’s mind was whether Sid could hear her heart pounding. Why was she having hot flashes? What was happening to her? She had locked her heart and now this man just unlocked it, like that.
Sid opened the door and gestured Trisha to go ahead. She appreciated the gesture and smiled at Sid. For a short moment she looked him into his eyes and felt some fluttering in her stomach. Sid’s eyes were gentle and calm which made Trish feel uncomfortable.
“Shall we sit at the back near the window? I feel it’s the best place since no one wants to sit there.”
Coffee with “Mr. Eye Candy”
Coffee breath
Trisha, who was never short of words, did not know what to say and nodded. This had never happened to her before. She sat down and hoped that her nerves would calm down.
“What would you like to have, Trisha?”
Trisha paused for a few seconds. “A sparkling water please.”
If she was going to speak to ‘Mr. Eye Candy’ the last thing she wanted was coffee breath. Luckily her heart was beating normal again.
“You don’t like coffee? They have the best coffee in town.”
“I do like coffee but if I drink coffee now, I will not be able to sleep” she lied.
“Aah ok, you are one of those people, just like my, never mind” he said quickly. “It doesn’t matter.”
Just like your girlfriend or wife
Just like your girlfriend or wife, Trisha said to herself. She looked up startled. She didn’t say this out loud, did she?
“Is something the matter” Sid looked curious at her.
Did she notice a vague smile on his face or was it just her imagination? Was he laughing at her?
“Ooh no, it’s nothing. I was just thinking if I took the iron’s plug out. But then I realized that I bought one which turns itself off.”
He must be thinking that you are crazy, Trisha, she said to herself.
“I see.” He scraped his throat and smiled. “Let me get our order.”
Trisha watched him as a hawk as he walked towards the counter. His back looks as good as his front, she said to herself.
