PROTAGONIST'S POV140Please respect copyright.PENANAyeeAbKFDbV
After taking her order to go, she walked towards the door to leave, the man walking behind her with his eyes focused on his phone screen, texting away.140Please respect copyright.PENANAbuf6ueo5hS
So focused that he forgot that he had approached the door, he hit his head on the glass door. 140Please respect copyright.PENANACS374wkmoe
I let out a loud chuckle, it was too funny to watch. People looked at my way and then at the guy. 140Please respect copyright.PENANA7099YPiT8I
He shot me a glare, which made Zaira look in my way. It took her a few seconds to realise who I was through the glass walls of the cafe. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAGf59tXwfHj
Just as she raised her arm to wave at me, the man took her arm and slightly shoved her to move forward. She then just looked back at me and smiled. 140Please respect copyright.PENANA9dZ8fxemhl
My pancakes arrived while the guy was still cursing me under his breath outside the cafe.140Please respect copyright.PENANAtHiVCYXdgN
Pancakes were more important, so I looked away.140Please respect copyright.PENANAU62qlCJkmT
After finishing the heavenly chocolate chip pancakes for brunch, I walked home as it was nearby.140Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZAlnwKowt
When I reached home, the street downstairs was as noisy as ever but besides that, the hallway outside my door was dead silent.140Please respect copyright.PENANAEXI3KR8VEN
I removed my shoes and changed into my stars pajamas and snuggled into my covers in my bed. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAEiTI1HjrQ4
I managed to save money per month to get myself a Netflix subscription so that I don't die out of boredom in life. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAHijMPL5XDw
I resumed the fourth episode of 'How to get away with Murder'. 140Please respect copyright.PENANASbVmsIAiOe
Damn, Annalise Keating is a woman on fire. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAaHidfPJDQq
I really like her bold personality and the way she fought cases.140Please respect copyright.PENANAHASJj1934g
Rest of my day consisted of binge watching HTGAWM because obviously, I have no other job in life. 140Please respect copyright.PENANA34hZg7oZ2b
I paused the tenth episode when I heard my stomach making noises. I was hungry. Again. I made myself chilli cheese egg grilled sandwiches. The aroma of butter filling my loft and the satisfying sizzling sound filling my ears. I stacked them on a plate and grabbed a ginger ale from the fridge and resumed the episode.140Please respect copyright.PENANA5jXvpRZA52
I don't remember switching off my phone and drifting off to sleep but I woke up to the annoying sound of the alarm at sharp 7 in the morning. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAaCoPUNeZoM
It's Monday, again.140Please respect copyright.PENANAZT5qXtuOcu
I got out of the bed with immense laziness and dragged my poor self to take a hot shower. I dry my hair with a towel and pull out the same outfit from my cupboard. The outfit I have to wear because I work as a clerk. Black trousers and a button down shirt of some medium shade of blue. I don't think footwear mattered. Even if it did, I still wore converse everyday.140Please respect copyright.PENANAcrOwcPGdjs
Instant noodles for breakfast again today. 140Please respect copyright.PENANA6FP038gtDn
After rinsing the bowl and going downstairs I hired a cab and reached the office around 7:45pm. My footsteps on the carpeted floor were the only thing I could hear in this silent office.140Please respect copyright.PENANAIU7g5Vox2N
I began to clean the department area instantly. All the employees usually arrived between 8:30 and 9 am. I had enough time. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAscLza3ERyF
I finished cleaning around 8:20-ish. 140Please respect copyright.PENANA58FFiQNa5N
I stretched both of my arms above my head, I could hear the sound of bones cracking. My back was stiff because of all the work I do bending down. Bad posture, they say.140Please respect copyright.PENANAkJNZqGUdly
I decided to make a coffee for myself. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAaqXdmysUfN
I entered the lounge and just as I was about to put the cup below the coffee machine, I heard soft sniffles.140Please respect copyright.PENANAlW82t2D8AE
It took me half a minute to find the source of sound. It was coming from behind the couch and from Zaira. 140Please respect copyright.PENANADSERyZm1LT
Black smudged under her eyes and eyes bloodshot. Her cheeks were red and puffy, tears streaming down her face. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAzU4Vl7uqEC
She was always smiling, always bubbly, never dull. It broke my heart to see her like that. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAdrhI2phcAn
I wonder what happened. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAxYAHVGDqBO
Yeah, I'm being nosy. I know.140Please respect copyright.PENANALPJBOSRHiU
I wanted to console her but I didn't know how to approach her. Besides the smiles thrown towards each other, we never actually talked.140Please respect copyright.PENANAt2TsbjFies
I thought coffee would be the best thing. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAdfZzQAwwvc
She hadn't noticed yet because she hadn't moved from her place. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6Pjik0Xe0
I made two cups of my special cappuccino, hoping she liked milk in her coffee or else I'd have to drink two cups on my own and any efforts to talk to her would go to waste. 140Please respect copyright.PENANARmzVZBRzJC
I only made coffee when the employees asked me to. She never did, she always did it on her own so I didn't know what she liked.140Please respect copyright.PENANANBilmlaHlP
I walked to the back of the couch and sat down crossed legged. I sat down with a thump, a huff escaping out of my mouth involuntarily and I almost spilled the coffee.140Please respect copyright.PENANAFoN3TUZz3m
Nice impression, dude. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAezU92lRsyD
Her head was buried in her hands, her shoulders heaving but as soon as I sat down she raised her head and looked at me with her sad doe eyes and tear stained face.140Please respect copyright.PENANAGGLAvZ7Z2A
Tears were still building at the corner of her eyes. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAtrs4TBQvvm
I passed her the coffee mug without a word.140Please respect copyright.PENANAVNQ0cUWeCH
"I don't really like milk in my coffee" she said between hiccups and sniffles as she looked at the cup and then at me.140Please respect copyright.PENANAWwqCW8o9gs
"Ah shit" I muttered under my breath. 140Please respect copyright.PENANA0AN2P83U3W
She let out a small chuckle and took a sip anyway. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAfYRKrCTNEl
"This is good" she said in an amused tone, her eyes widening a bit.140Please respect copyright.PENANAQOpqV4sx6w
"Well, when you get paid for making coffee, you have to be good at it"140Please respect copyright.PENANAUPLn73UZ8Q
I say, trying to sound cool??140Please respect copyright.PENANAr6R2qKM4TE
She laughed a little. It felt nice, I was helping. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAQAuG8CMuZ0
"Are you okay? You might feel I'm being nosy but you'll feel better if you share your problems with a stranger." 140Please respect copyright.PENANA3sYLxHEtcP
I said to her, not meeting her eyes.140Please respect copyright.PENANA5GyJGMhHnW
She didn't say anything but just stared at the cup in her hand. There was comfortable silence, like we've been friends for years.140Please respect copyright.PENANArlonvi8BDU
"My boyfriend and I had a huge fight last night and I left our house because I was upset" 140Please respect copyright.PENANASTk3nrYLhf
She was still staring at the cup but this time a tear slid down her eye. 140Please respect copyright.PENANA6jZvNlfsR8
Our house? Too deep into the relationship. I thought 140Please respect copyright.PENANAL0ZxEa7SEk
"So you slept here? In this crappy lounge? Damn woman" 140Please respect copyright.PENANAJ334NyvSph
I didn't feel like pushing her to tell me anything more. Afterall, this was our first conversation.140Please respect copyright.PENANAjuwucUikni
"My back aches now" she says annoyed while shaking her head and resting her hand on the small of her back.140Please respect copyright.PENANAhANUsm7eGA
I look at the adorable pout she did while doing this.140Please respect copyright.PENANAlOAHESIzw8
I was just looking at her when she started speaking again.140Please respect copyright.PENANAGNhhlvudJ9
"How could he sa-" before she could actually start ranting and let her frustration out, Mr.Fitz's voice interrupted us in his usual 'good morning y'all' conduct. 140Please respect copyright.PENANA6nVAAkM5Js
