Chapter 12 – Better Than Coffee

LUCIUS.

Title of the document

“Good morning,” Patrea was the first one to greet me, and I immediately stood up. I took the mugs from her hands and placed them on the table.

Coffee. One was black, and one was with milk.

I pulled a chair for her, and she immediately sat down with a wide smile on her face, but her eyes were teasing me. “So what’s new in the news?”

“Hmmm…” My eyes darted to the newspaper I laid on the table, and I took in the first news that caught my eye. “It says that Delilah Guzman was being sued by her ex-husband for defamation.”

She laughed with her hand over her mouth, and my heart skipped a beat because her eyes were twinkling as if she found what I said amusing.

“I didn’t know entertainment news fascinated you. ” She teased.

“Not as much as you fascinate me.” I winked at her.

Red tints crept up her cheeks before she pointed at the coffee and ignored my words. “Coffee? I’m not sure what your eyes want, so…”

“Which one do you prefer to drink?”

“I can drink both, but I like the one with milk.”

I remained silent and pushed the coffee with milk in front of her, then took the black coffee to my lips and sipped it slowly, not minding that it was too hot. It could never burn me.

“How was your sleep?” I asked.

She was about to answer when a voice rang in the air.

“Good morning!”

I would have thrown fire at the f*cker for interrupting us if I hadn’t seen the way Patrea’s eyes grew wider, as if she could read my mind.

Both our heads then slowly tilted toward the boxwood bushes that separate Patrea’s land from her neighbor.

Patrea smiled at him, and I felt my lungs constrict. Did she need to smile at everyone?
