Chapter 34: Will I get to see you again?

I got to the cafe an hour later, Amanda was on duty and was attending to two men seated close to the window. I was so tired and didn't bother to take a close look at them.

" Hey Lisa, over here." I looked up to see Tommy waving at me with a smile, I guessed immediately that the man sitting next to him was going to be the old man. I walked to where they were seated and to my surprise it wasn't the old man.

The person didn't look up to look at me, But from the side, I could

already tell he was a young guy who wore a face cap, There was a sun shade on the table so I could tell he was disguising himself with it. ' But why did he need to disguise himself? I could understand why Tommy did that but why did this man do that? "

" Hey Tommy, how on earth did you get here "I was smiling, obviously the old man's handiwork but why was he nowhere to be seen?

"Gab helped, the stingy old man won't tell me where you work." He made a face and I laughed out, it was even harder to believe their mentor-mentee story when he behaved like this.

" I thought you came with him when I saw you," I told him

" You're missing him already? "Tommy teased

" Oh please, I would be the happiest girl on earth if I didn't see him for a month" I immediately wished I hadn't said it to him.

" You hate him that much? " The stranger suddenly asked with his head still bent, I was taken aback as I just stared at him.

" No bro, she detests him. Lisa meet my brother Xavier, brother Meet Lisa " Tommy introduced.

" Hello sir" I greeted stretching out my hand for a handshake, It was then he looked up, and I was frozen the moment I saw. It couldn't be, I couldn't believe I was standing face to face with Xavier Scott " Am I dreaming? " I muttered under my breath, The shock I felt when I discovered who Tommy was, was nothing compared to this. It was like I was struck by Lightning, Was this the effect of seeing my role model and the person I admired most?

" Hello, Lisa. " He said as he took my hands, The moment he took my hand it was like I felt a surge of electricity running through me, I could tell he felt it too cause he let go of my hand immediately.

I stared into his eyes and he had the same eyes, however, He noticed I was looking into his eyes and looked away from me. His eyes were exactly like the old man's eyes, Not only did they look like the old man's eyes but I could see the same emotion I saw in the old man's eyes in his eyes too. ' I thought Xavier Scott had brown eyes in all his pictures? '

' You had to think about the old man at this moment Lisa?' I shook my head immediately.

" Lisa, what were you thinking? " Tommy suddenly asked, but I was so lost in thoughts I didn't hear him say it.

" Lisa? " He called again and looked at him immediately.

" Sorry Tommy" I apologized with a nervous smile.

" There's a famous saying never meet your hero, was that what happened? " He held a mischievous grin.

' Did he bring him there to see how I would react? '

I put on my calm demeanour like I wasn't just surprised.

" Nice to meet you too, am so sorry I stared, your eyes just looked so familiar. " I smiled before saying " Please place your order." I turned to Tommy and glared at him to which he smiled, Tommy smiled a lot, he always smiled mischievously whenever he wanted to tease me.

" Who does his eyes look like? " Tommy asked curiously as one side of his cheek curved into a smile.

'Not again please ' I shook my head, ' Does he ever get tired of teasing me? '

" Who is that, I want to know too." Xavier seemed interested as he placed a hand on his chain and looked from Tommy to me, not once meeting my eyes.

" Am not telling " I shook my head.

" Oh come on Mommy, This is no way to treat your son " He pouted and I found myself gasping in horror, I guess I must have looked so funny since Tommy started laughing and Xavier smiled.

" What... son? What the hell are you talking about? " I stammered in confusion, he had to do this in front of my crush?

" The old man is my father after all, doesn't that make you my mommy?" He explained. I looked at him for a while, he was enjoying teasing me and was smiling contentedly.

' I'll show you not to mess with me '

" That's true, why didn't I think about that? " I said rubbing a hand on my chain, he looked at me wondering what I was going to do " Are you gonna make your tired mommy serve coffee? " I looked at him with a littlest frown, I could see Xavier trying to hold his laughter as he placed the back of his hand on his mouth.

" No, I haven't even ordered yet, " He said after he got over the shock of what I asked him.

" Then, won't you get your mommy a cup of coffee? " I asked as I took a sit and made myself comfortable.

" Wh..what? " He stammered confused, Xavier could no longer hold his laughter and started laughing, his laughter was the sweetest laughter I've ever heard and I found myself smiling as I watched him laugh. He stopped immediately he looked up and saw me looking at him.

" You're not supposed to be laughing dude, are you taking her side now? " Tommy asked annoyed and Xavier raised his hand in surrender, he turned to me " What kind of coffee do you want Mommy? " He asked grudgingly.

" I want black coffee no additive," I said giving him a broad smile, he laughed then went to the coffee bar and told Amanda to give him an americano. He was taking longer and the silence between Xavier and me was getting awkward for me " Are you here on a business trip sir?" I asked him, anything to put an end to the silence.

" Sort of, Are you a student? " He asked, and I nodded.

" Am studying Computer science, I got a lot of inspiration from you " I explained.

" Wow!!! Didn't know you were a fan " He commented and I smiled, just then Tommy came back with the black coffee. He placed the black coffee in front of me and sat down, I stood up and placed the black coffee in front of Xavier.

" Are you kidding me? " Tommy exclaimed as I started walking to the coffee bar, I turned around to see the shock on his face and laugh. He mouthed "This isn't over " and I mouthed "Sour loser"

I got Tommy an Americano, They stayed for another 10 minutes before they stood up to leave, He put on his face cap again with the sun shade that was previously on the table. I stood up and went to say goodbye to Tommy.

" It was nice to meet you, Mr. Scott," I said with a smile.

" It was nice to meet you too, do I get to see you again? "
