SHALIKA'S POV

I was working at the cafe, my heaven. It was 9:35 and as there were no customers I decided to wrap up the store for the day.

I started playing soft romantic music on the cafe speaker and cleaned the counter while humming the songs. As I was preparing the machine for tomorrow, the sound of the bell tolled at the entrance. A customer? At this hour? I didn't put much thought into it, "The store is about to close." I stated without looking.

"I'm not here for coffee!" A hurried masculine voice answered out of breath.

Eyes wide I turned around to find a guy, insanely hot guy standing all in his sweaty glory, panting looking outside the glass door as if there was a serial killer on the loose.

"E-" Before I could even say anything he came towards me with his finger on his mouth asking me to be quiet and held my wrist dragging me towards the enclosed kitchen with him. 

"Wha-"

"Shush!" he said placing his hand in a firm grip on my mouth shutting me up. I stilled.

Thump-thump, Someone started banging on the door like a maniac. Oh No! there is a killer on the loose. I smacked his hand away and whispered "WHAT THE HELL!" He didn't answer, instead dragged me to the back door towards the creepy alley. 

"My girlfriend, well, ex-girlfriend is pissed that I dumped her. She's trying to get back with me but god she's so freaking irritating! who wears heels to a PARK? Anyways this was the closest way to escape so I'm extremely sorry..." he answered before I could yell what the hell again.

"So let me get this straight, your girlfriend-" "Ex" "-Yeah ex-girlfriend is chasing you so you barge into a cafe that's about close in about... Freaking 10 minutes to escape her?"

"Umm... yeah?" He answered hesitantly.

"Tsk.. sucks to be you." I stated. He was confused and I opened the door to the cafe letting him in sight of an angry ex who just so happened to be as gorgeous as a model. "NO-" 

"Hey there... what's your name?" "Mishka" she answered with an angered yet confused expression. 

"Yeah, Mishka please stay the hell away from my boyfriend and get out of my cafe pretty please?" I asked with a subtle tone of tired and annoyed.

"WHAT? YOU ALREADY STARTED DATING SOMEONE ELSE YOU MAN-WHO-"

"Excuse me love?" I said stopping her mid-sentence "He was always dating me! You were just a side piece all along." I stated 

She burst into tears and trudged towards him, "I cannot believe y-you monster!" she slapped him and left through the alley out on the main road.

"Well, that's the best we could've hoped for..." I said nonchalantly, going inside to finish cleaning and preparing the machine to close the store.

"Girlfriend?" he asked with a playful tone. I turned around to look at his face and he was smirking. "Don't worry, I won't go batshit crazy for you. And I always wanted to break up a couple, so I guess I can check that off my list." I said knowing I would never meet him again.

OH GOD WAS I WRONG...!
