The Girl [ep12]

“Just because you don’t
have a prince, does not
mean you are not a
princess” ― Zayn Malik
Jade’s POV
“Hey, Jade. Romeo is
back, and wants you to
make his coffee.”
Suzanne shouted behind
me, that I almost
dropped the bottle of
milk I was holding.
“Romeo, who?”
“The guy, who looked
like one of the
Abercrombie models.”
“Which one?” I asked
Suzanne, but she
already left, before I
could even finish my
question. I was in the
kitchen, helping Mrs.
Chang prepared the
batter for the
pancakes.
I went out of the
kitchen and scanned the
faces of the customers.
Then, I saw him. The
guy I bumped into, this
morning, and the one
who called me
malnourished.
I saw him already left a
while ago, I wondered
why he came back.
Whatever. I didn’t care,
anyway. I’m sure, he’s
also the guy that
Suzanne referred as
Romeo, slash,
Abercrombie model.
Honestly, I didn’t like
the guy, he was very
arrogant and didn’t
know how to apologize.
He regarded himself so
highly, as if, he was
someone very
important. Actually, it
was his fault, why we
bumped into each other.
I was hurrying towards
the coffee shop,
because I was already
late. I instantly
recognized him, as one
of our customers
yesterday, when he
came out of the coffee
shop. He was walking
so fast, without looking
at where he was going.
His eyes were fixed on
his phone. I was
expecting him to walk
straight, but he
suddenly turned
towards me. I was
surprised and didn’t
have the chance to
evade him.
My face hit the wall of
his chest, so hard. I
was instantly cocooned
by his warm embrace. I
felt the roughness of
his hand on my arm,
and gave me a sense of
protection. I devoured
the moment and inhaled
his pure male scent, a
combination of fresh
cologne, musk and
coffee. When I looked
up at him, I was
starstrucked. He was
indeed a very attractive
man, tall, lean, with
beautifully proportioned
body. His jet-black hair
was silky straight and
his face was bronzed
with wind and sun. I
felt like fainting, staring
at him. His magnetic
silvery gray eyes
melted my lower limbs.
Well, that was my first
reaction. Ugh! I realized
that he was not a
Prince Charming, but a
villain.
I thought he was a
gentleman, because he
asked if I was okay.
But, he turned out to be
a pompous a-s. I was
waiting for him to
apologize, since it was
his fault, but he never
did.
Then, he called me ‘so
thin’ and ‘malnourish.’ I
was really offended.
Well, maybe a bit true,
but not to the extent
of being malnourished. I
looked thinner because
of my height. I stood, 5
feet and 8 inches and
weighed 120 pounds.
My impression of him?
He was just like Kurt
and Suzanne, a bully.
I took the order slip and
read ‘one coffee
espresso.’ Then, I
looked at him. Romeo.
Yup, that’s what he is,
a Romeo.
He seemed like an
extremely rich guy, his
suit spoke for itself. It
was the kind of suit
that famous celebrities
and elite people wore. It
probably cost, a month
of my salary.
And yes, Suzanne was
right, he looked like one
of the Abercrombie
male models. But, I
doubt if he was one,
since he was always on
the phone, talking about
business.
I stared at him for a
few seconds, studying
his facial features. He
was indeed strikingly
attractive, but with bad
attitude, just like a
devil. Then, suddenly,
his head turned and his
eyes captured mine. I
was so shocked of
being caught staring at
him. I felt so
embarrassed. Gosh! I
immediately looked
away and pretended
looking at the
customers, beside their
table.
