Chapter 1 - A New Beginning

Annie walks hastily towards the restaurant, it's noon already and she couldn't help but think about her job interview tomorrow, holding at A & R group of companies. She gets inside the restaurant, sat at a far edge as she signals the waiter to come take her order. The waiter looks at her and ignored.

"Bunch of incompetent staffs!"

Annie cursed under her breath. She continues waiting but her stomach betrays her as a loud rumble came out from her stomach.

You will eat a full community if given the opportunity right?

Adrian placed his tray of food on her table.

Annie looks at the imposter speechless, his face looking vague.

"You care for some?" He asks looking at her in the eye.

"No thanks!" Annie replies without taking a second look at him. Her stomach made another loud rumble this time betraying her words. She looks at the tray in front of her, there are fish, chips with tartar sauce. She picked two chips, dipped inside the sauce and chewed like someone who had been kidnapped and hasn't eaten for days. Adrian watched her and said...

" Don't mention"

Annie looks at him wide eyed.

I haven't even said thanks!

Does it matter? You can have all of them.

He said with a hidden smile at the corner of his lips.

Annie watched him closely now. A fine Dude sits opposite her and she was just blind to see it. She tried to say something but she ends up stammering. Adrian watches her, his face without any expression.

Like I said, no need for saying thank you, I can order more if you want" he signals at the same waiter Annie called before. She comes to meet them at their table.

"What would you like to have Sir?"

Annie looks at the waiter disgustingly. She couldn't bear her anger as she blurted out.

"I was calling you—yet you ignored me."

The waiter turned, looked her up and down and feigned an apology.

"I'm sorry miss"

"I'll definitely drop a bad review before I leave!"

Annie snapped irritatingly.

Adrian smiles as he watches her. He turned to look at the waiter...

" Please take her order"

Annie shows the waiter what she wanted in the menu and the waiter goes to bring her order.

"Thank you stranger" Annie thanked the weirdo sitting in front of her.

"I told you not to mention it. Oh my bad, my name is Adrian and you?" He stretched his hand with a warm smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

Annie looks at him without any expression on her face as they both shook hands.

Annie! Call me—annie she replied almost stuttering.

The waiter comes and drops her order in front of Annie without looking at her face.

"She has an attitude..." Annie said calmly as she begins to eat. Suddenly Adrian's phone started ringing and he picked it up.

" Hello, I'll be on my way already " he responded to the caller and stood up ready to go.

"See you some other time miss...." He turns to leave.

Annie looks at him surprised. "Just like that?" She asked calmly not wanting to sound desperate.

" Oh that, don't worry I'll pay before I step out"

He goes out without turning to see her expression.

Annie just looked on, wondering who the hell he think he is.

"Wait... He didn't have even ask for my contact? How weird!"

The waiter looks at her From afar wondering why she's talking to herself. Annie looks back at her and hisses. Annie continues to eat her food, soon she finishes and heads out of the restaurant. As she stepped outside it began to drizzle.

" Oh shit!" Annie runs back into the restaurant. She met the ugly eyes of the waitress again. She hisses and decided to enter the rain. Though not heavy a black sport car stops in front of her and winds it's glasses.

"Hop in let me give you a ride" Adrian this time was putting on a dark shade. He removes it so Annie could see him clearly.

"No mister!" Annie replied without regretting.

"Okay then!" Adrian replied and zoomed off as the rain began pouring heavily. Annie sighed—with deep regret of course.

"This guy is crazy, he couldn't even be patient." She mutters under her breath. She was trying to stop a cab but non was willing to stop seeing that she was totally drenched.
