Chapter 3

"Are you inside the restaurant?" Liryc texted Anne "yeah im inside the restaurant" anne replied quickly, he walk towards the glass door and enter he look around but he saw no familiar face except Anne sitting in the corner with a siopao half eaten and a glass of water in her table, she is wearing a red jacket, her hair is dress like a bao bao chinese hairdress aka Chun-li hair style a character of the famous arcade game Street Fighter in late 90's, her cheek is pinkish cause of the make-up she's wearing and her lips is wearing her favorite lipstick that she always put on everytime they meet or leave to go to someplace. She looks pretty in her red jacket Liryc thought to himself, he stares at her while he walk slowly to her place and he sit in the available chair infront of her
"Im sorry, im late cause of the traffic" Liryc explained
"traffic? where?"
"traffic near the church here"
"oh i see"
"its cause of the heavy rain"
"but its not raining"
"yeah, right now its not raining but a while ago the rain is heavy it even flood the highway near our house" Liryc explained while looking at the room behind Anne full of people that looks like a seminar is being held.
"What are they doing there?" Liryc wondering what activity is in that room.
"Why ask me? ask them.." Anne said while eating small pieces of her siopao.
"Go there and ask what they are doin"
"im not asking you im just asking myself" Liryc replied smiling. He look around and try to see if Layla is in the counter but she is not there, he tried to look in the kitchen but in his position its impossible to see whose inside the kitchen.
"I think I know whose courting you!" Anne said wide eyed.
"Huh? and who?" Liryc surprised by what Anne said.
"The girl who asked for your cell number here last week"
"Ah yeah.." in almost whisper tone.
"Dont you like her?"
"Its not that easy, It does'nt mean if shes pretty, beautiful im goin to grab her to become my girlfriend"
"why not? I think she's ok"
"You know who I want.. and for me she's the only girl I can be with, I love you so much you know that" after Liryc said that Anne did not show any emotion its like she did not hear anything Liryc just said but he is used to that, she always do that everytime he open about her feelings towards her, Liryc think that Anne don't care of what he feels, he thinks that it does'nt concern her if he will get hurt, he thinks that what important to Anne is her happiness.
"im goin to order, I dont have a lunch yet"
"lets transfer to Mc Donalds" Anne said
"but your still not finish eating"
"I did not said right now, of course after im done with this"
"ok, im goin to have my lunch there" Liryc said while looking around. Anne second cellular phone rings and she answer it
"Hello" answering her cellphone, Liryc look at her and watch her while she's talking to the person in the line. She's making a sweet tone flirting laughs which make Liryc feel bad, he thinks that it's that guy again who always call her.
"Yeah, hmm ok.. I checked it a while ago" she said to the person in the cellphone. Liryc is starting to get irritated but still he wait patiently.
"Im calling you but your line is busy... How did you know that im calling if you dont have a signal?" anne continues
"Im here somewhere.. chowking, yeah... im goin to call you again, ill transfer to Mc donalds, if I did not call after a few minutes you call me ok?... ok bye bye.." Anne put her cellphone back to her jacket pocket and look at Liryc but he did not show any emotion he pretend that it's ok and that he feel nothing about it but deep inside his feeling he is hurt, puzzled and worried. The store kitchen door adjacent to the door of the store restroom open and a girl came out of the kitchen and its Layla.

Layla is wearing a Dark Blue satin pants, a pair of black shoes, Light yellow shirt uniform with light red stripes, Her eyes is big but beautiful in her features, she is morena and about 5'2 inches tall her hair is pony tailed. She look cute in her uniform but she's is too young Liryc thinks to himself. Layla went to the counter to talk to her co-worker. she did not notice him looking at her. Liryc prayed that Layla will not notice him but when she came out of the counter she notice Liryc and she give him a look with no emotion. Liryc smile at her but she did not smile back, he probably know the reason why she give him a face like that. Layla went back to the kitchen and at that moment Anne stands up and walk out of the store and Liryc followed her, he knows where she is heading, Anne is heading to a store near there.
