The person that is going to be the key to his change in fate…

She takes the tissue; gives him the biggest embrace she has ever given him and gives him a big fat kiss on the cheek. He does the same except for the kiss he only gives her a long and loving hug. After a few minutes of saying his goodbyes to his mom, he loaded up his last bag in the car of the boot and off he went to meet the person that will change his life forever.

 

The sun, shining brightly in the morning, not a cloud to be seen, and Jarick is still driving to the university.

About halfway before he reaches the university, he decided to take a pit stop because it feels like there is a steel rod being slowly jammed up his legs, causing him agonising pain, and his seat feels as though it is getting harder and harder by the minute. As he was driving after  literally about half an hour, he spots a petrol station with some sort of a cafe and decided to just stop there. As he drove in, he caught a few people smiling at him, but same as always, he just stared at them coldly with no response. As he got out of the car, he felt that exact same steal rod being removed slowly and feels a sense of relieve as he takes in a breath of fresh air. While he had time to spare, he decided that he is going to buy himself some breakfast a nice cup of coffee and maybe take a bit of a stroll if he has time.

He enters the spacious store and has instantly hit him with the smell of fresh coffee and breakfast, the store has quite a unique layout with a lot in it but at the same time feels so homey and open. It is definitely bigger and busier than what he expected it will eb like, as he walked through the aisles, he could hear some people whispering and finally understood why is was so busy

"I heard this place is amazing, their food is delicious, that was so good we should come again, the vibes are so good, the people are so friendly, and it is so cheap."

 

After some walking, he heard a grumbling sound from his stomach and decided to go an eat.

"Good morning sir…" He hears a faint voice behind the counter as he approaches the restaurant.

He looks up and sees a young lady who is as small as small can be, with her neat work uniform. She is simple staring at him with her beautiful grey eyes and her long luscious hair tied up into a ponytail hiding behind a big work hat that barely fits her, waiting for his response.

In the meantime, she anxiously checks at her screen as she mumbles something to herself; "Is it still morning?"

He hears her faint, soft voice and replies; "It is about a minute then it will be afternoon…"

She realises he spoke to her and with her big, beautiful, grey eyes, she stares up at him, they locked eyes for a few seconds before she replies; "Oh sorry my mistake, thank you."

He simple nods in reply and stares at her blankly with his cold stern face. They locked eyes again and stares mesmerizingly at each other, not long before she suddenly remembers that he needs to order.

"Oh right, Good afternoon, what would you like to order today?" There is a pause for a moment as he stares at the menu, on the wall behind her, to decide what he would like. Slowly he turns his gaze to her and stares directly at her with his cold gaze.

Quickly she shifts har gaze and nervously she blurts out; "Have you decided yet?"

He stares at this lady with curiosity and turns to his thoughts

-She is interesting I have never met anyone like her before. She is so fragile. I wonder how old she is because she looks too young to be working-

Instantly he realises that this is the first time in about three or two years that he is wondering about someone other than his mom.

He hears a soft voice seeking his attention and he looks down at her; "Excuse me, but have you decided what you would like to order?"

He replies with a simple nod and says; "Can I please get a breakfast with scramble eggs, two sausages, toast, bacon and a cup of fresh filter coffee. Thank you."

She stares at him in amazement because of his deep, hypnotic and manly voice for a few seconds before entering his order into the system and replying; "Will that be all for today?"

He replies with a nod again, once again they stare at each other, but with each passing second it felt to them as though time has come to a standstill. After a while he pays and finds a spot to sit, but subconsciously he chose a spot to sit it where he can see her the clearest. Once he got the chance, he instantly turned to his thoughts…

-That was so weird, why did I stare at her for so long and why did she stare at me for so long. I did not like it at all. People like that who can never voice their opinion is annoying. -

Subconsciously He looks up to see if she is still there out of curiosity. He notices her scurrying around preparing orders and glancing his way every time she got the chance. They both look at each other and you could feel the attraction on her side, but on his side, there was only a cold atmosphere. Not long after she hears someone calling her name in the kitchen, she breaks their eye contact and return to working.

-Oh no why is she looking this way again and why am I sitting in the spot where I am most visible to be seen. Oh, her eyes they are so beautiful. I have never seen anyone with an eye colour like hers. Where I am from the girls looked quite ordinary and simply, but there is something different about her-

He suddenly realised that he was talking about and placed a stop to it.

-Why am I doing this. Stop it. Remember what happened last time. It is better if you just leave it. -

He looked at her coldly before aggressively getting up and moving to a less visible spot to sit. She could feel a chilly vibe coming towards her and she notices him looking at her and quickly she turned the opposite way. After some time, he finally found a less visible spot but, in some ways, still visible and decided to sit with his back facing her. As he sat there with his eyes stiffly closed, deep in thought and clenching his hands together so that his veins and muscles in his hand are completely visible.

He hears a soft voice and opens his eyes slowly before hearing a tray landing very hard on his table like a bang and two small, fragile and cold hands moving towards his face, he looked past these hands coming towards his face and realises that it is her. He notices the worried expression on her little soft face., but even before she could touch his face, he instantly moved back with an instant swift of his muscular body. And they both froze.

Sometime went by before she processed what just happened and with an apologetic voice she said; "sorry…" as she moves away from him as quick as she could and says; "I did not mean to touch… you I just thought… I just thought that there was something wrong. So, I …"

She anxiously waits for him to yell at her and be angry with her, but to her surprise…

He took a deep breath to try and calm himself down; "It's just you startled me…" He looked at her with calm and warm eyes because he could hear how scared she was; "Thank you for the food" He says with a warm tone of voice. She looked at him surprised, when he looked at her with a soft and warm look, she suddenly felt a gust of wind blow by and her heart was instantly hit by an electrics shock, it was beating so fast. She clenched her uniform pants, but after seeing his reaction she relaxed and instantly let out a sigh of relieve.

Once again, she apologises for the inconvenience and walks of with confusion on her face. She was unable to make of the situation when her heart started beating, but before she could get to caught up into what just happened, she felt an arm wrap around her. He witnessed this scene that made him into the person he has never entered before. He saw the moment when a guy rapped his arm around her. He felt his body go hot and numb with anger, he shoved his chair out of the way and walked straight for them with nothing on his mind except 'Do not touch her'. He took the guy by the shoulder and pulled him away from her, but not before long he realised who the guy was. "It is you!" he looked at the guy and then looked at her before looking at him again.

His name is Jorrey and he was the guy that completely messed up Jarick's personality…

As she looked at Jorrey and then Jarick she could feel how different their vibes where. Jorrey was relaxed while Jarick was super angry. She did not know what to do…
