Austin open his cafe later than usual because he had to do some paper works that his professor told him to check, its for his requirements in the upcoming graduation in his doctorate.
Austin saw his staffs waiting on the outside of the cafe
"Sorry, I just got to deal with some paper works" his staffs Mark, Lay, Honey, Pin, Carl and Luvi just give him a thumbs up and saying its ok
"Boss Korn, Stiles, Orange, Fox have early class so they won't come" Luvi said
"It's ok"
Austin is the owner of the cafe and he is always hands on particularly on giving the customers good service so he is always roaming around checking the qualities and quantities of every food and drinks they serve
"Good morning Sir, Welcome to SweetLand Cafe! May I take your order? " Mark said indicating their first customer so Austin turn around to see .
"Hello Good morning, Can I order him?" Austin was shock because their first customer point at him and look at him then wink and smile
He felt his heart beat as he saw a beauty.
"Oho, Sorry Sir, the cafe owner is single but not available at the moment.." Mark look at his boss. "Or available? Anyway, can I have your order? " Mark laugh and the customer laugh also.
Austin had never been amuse by a laugh before not until now. He move to go to the kitchen but still eyeing the customer. He was caught by the customer and again, the customer gave him a wink... Much more sexier than the previous one.
"Nah, I'm just joking tho I like the fact that he is single but can I order Dark Mocha Freeze and Mango Graham cheese cake and also My friend who always buy here named Azai said he want some pudding and coffee" The customer said lovely that Mark admire, and luckily he got the order right.
"You're Azai's friend? So you're Mr. Jayce? He always says he had a friend who is lazy to buy so you always ask him to buy whenever you can see that he'll buy too HAHAHAHAHAH" Mark laugh and the guy 'Jayce' also laugh.
"Azai really tells the truth to anyone huh HAHAHAHA But it is ok. Just confirmation to what name you'll write in my freeze its 'Jayce Fuentes' and for Azai... Just write what name he usually make you to write in it " Jayce saw a glimpse of the man he is eyeing and for the nth time he wink then went to the table near the glass wall.
He dialed Azai's number as soon as he get comfortable sitting.
"Hey Az, I'm here."
Is that so? You're early.
Azai said with a mocking tone.
"Idiot, I'm always early, it's just that I feel like ordering for today so yeah. Don't be too late. Im not gonna wait for you forever."
So bossy.
"I'm your boss."
Nope, I am not yet in the company so I'm more likely to be considered as your best friend.
"Psh just fasten what ever you're doing if you plan to take my offering of treating you breakfast seriously. Bye."
Jayce ended the call just in time his orders are serve in front of him by the hot cafe owner.
"Thank you Mr. Cafe Owner" Jayce shyly said because the cafe owner did really have that dominant aura around him.
'He got some nice built and wide shoulders. Now I'm thinking what does it feels like to be caressed by him.' Jayce thought as he glance at the cafe owner.
"Welcome enjoy eating. My name is Austin by the way, not cafe owner." Austine then wink at him before walk away with grin in his face.
Jayce in the other hand is red as a tomato.
"Damn that wink is sexy.... This cafe really is, a SweetLand."
Minutes later, Azai arrive and had ate his meal too and he receive so many complains from Jayce saying he is exposing to much information most of the time.
The cafe gain so many customers as minutes go and it gets pretty crowded. Jayce is shock because its the first time he dine in and found out that the cafe is really popular.
"Psh, Mr. Fuentes you don't really hate me right? Im your best friend since we dont know how to walk And besides Im your secretary who is the only one who can stand with your attitude. Now----wait what are you writing?" Azai ask as he saw his friend is writing something in the table napkin.
"What the heck you're writing your number ? And wait.... Addressing it to ---how, what,why, when..... To Mr. Austin?! The owner?! I thought you said you'll never--" Azai never finished his sentence when Jayce cut him.
" Shut the fuck up Az, dont mind me " for the first time in five years, Jayce look so happy and serious about hitting on the cafe owner so Azai just let him. It is what friends are for, to support and help each other so Azai just let Jayce flirt to extend and just stay quiet.
As the two left the cafe, Austin instantly went to the table and his prediction was right. That guy named Jayce left his number and give big tip and saying in the napkin its for the cashier meaning its for Mark. He put the napkin with the cellphone number in his pocket.
Austin clean the table first before going back to the counter and hand Mark his tip from the first customer.
"Wow boss you're tipping me?"
"No, idiot. Our first customer did, Mr. Jayce Fuentes. Maybe because he appreciate your humor, good for you he tip big." Austin give a thumbs up and a nod making Mark shock as he received the money.
" Oh... The good looking wink man. I gotta thank him if he will comeback ... And *ehem* boss he's so beautiful isnt he?" Mark wants to tease their boss because he saw how his boss admire the customer's beauty.
" Yep, a beauty but indeed flirty... He wink at me several times and smile at me everytime our eyes will met. Cant help it tho Im also a good-looking guy " Austin said and Mark just shrugged and laugh
" Sir, you know sometimes you really full of yourself. But I kinda notice it too that he flirt to you in a way that it maybe so hard for you to refuse the flirt. Am i right sir? Krub, will 'he' gonna be the co owner--"
"Mark stop chatting with Mr. Austin and do something that'll make sense" Lay said as he clean some stuff in the counter.
" I agree to Lay, Mark should start working again" Honey laugh as he saw Mark's reaction when he agree to make fun of him.
" Hey hey hey enough everyone be productive" Austin said cutting the conversation and went to his room.
In his room, he immediately open his contacts and make a contact of Jayce's number. He don't know why he is doing this but for him, it's the right thing.
In the present time, Hans is laying in the bed and had so many tubes and wires connect to his body. He is in a deep slumber fighting for his life.
'Ugh, I feel my body soar. I can't open my eyes.' He thought, he can't move a muscle and even opening his eyes is next to impossible.
'Am I in heaven? Why do series of unfamiliar events are flashing in my head?' He desperately breath and gasping for air.
"Hans!!!! Hans!!!!!" A crying voice had enter his sense of hearing and making him wonder why it's so familiar
"Hans! Wake up please!"
'Uh? Who's calling me?' Hans wanted to move and to talk back but he couldn't. His body wouldn't let him do anything, like he's in a box and has body chaining him.
"I'm sorry but he has to go through it." Said a man with pity and sadness in his authoritive voice.
"How many days? Weeks? Months? How much it will take to wake him again?!" Unending crying is heard with a lot more commotion to where he is but all he can do is to hear it all.
"Calm down sir, it's his body and mind. He's still stable though there's still a big chance of danger. We will do our best to monitor him."
"WELL YOU SHOULD BE!"
'What's that noice? Who are they? Why can't I open my eyes?' He is moving in his mind until tremendous pain circulate to his whole body.
' I'm dying, I can feel it.' He admitted to himself and surpassing the urge of losing it all.
' I never know dying could be this helpless.'.
