the café. It's not usually crowded as people prefer having their breakfast in the city.

'Jade' is the name of this small café. It is near a small park full of swings.

We both silently get out of the car and go inside. The wind chimes at the door making a soft noise as we enter. Christian opens the door for me so I silently thank him and enter.

"Cariño!" I hear a familiar voice say. I turn around to see Ben.

Ben is the owner of this place. He is in his late 40s. He lives with his wife and 2 kids.

"Hola ben! como estas?" I ask with a wide smile.

"Soy fantástico." He replies. "Quien es este joven?"

"El es Christian. El es un amigo mio." I reply politely.

"Así que una mesa especial para dos, ¿eh?" He teases.

"Solo somos amigos pero seguro Ben," I reply. "So Christian this is Ben, Ben meet Christian."

"Encantado de conocerte Ben." Christian smirks. Of course, he speaks Spanish. After all his surname is Amor.

"Igualmente." Ben laughs. "Let's get you guys a table."

"Better be a special one, Ben." He says and we laugh.

"Here you go. I'll come in take your orders in a few." Ben says walks away.

"So, you speak Spanish? Huh?" He asks me while looking at the menu.

"Yeah. My mum w-- is from Mexico." I tell him.

"Where is your mom now?" I ask.

"Somewhere." I shrug because I don't know. "I do not know."

Before he can say anything Ben comes to us.

"Cariño, you ready to order?" Ben asks.

"Yes Ben, can I get a breakfast burrito and that delicious special brownie of yours with an--"

"Oreo Shake. Got it." Ben cuts me off. "¿Qué hay de ti, joven?"

"I'll get what she said." He says glancing at me.

"I'll come with your orders in no time. You both have fun." Ben says winking at me.

"We are friends Ben." I laugh.

"Oh and here I thought he is special because you brought him here." He says.

"What do you mean?" Christian cuts in.

"This is pequeña Tori's favorite place where she refuses to bring anyone along until and unless they are especial," Ben explains.

"Hey! First of all, I am not little and secondly, stop with that 'special' word now. It seems like you have a weird sort of fetish with it." I say crossing my arms.

"Don't worry boy, she's just in denial but she'll come around, now you two enjoy, while I bring you your Desayuno." With that, he walks away.

"Hmm. So I'm special to you Ria?" Christian asks me.

"Ria?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Yes 'Ria'. Now don't change the topic." He chuckles.

"I am not, and I usually come here, if I didn't invite you would've been so rude." I retort back.

"Right." He says. "So, I was wondering if we could go shopping for me, I can't always wear your boyfriend's clothes."

"Sure, we can go today if you are ready to walk for hours," I tell him with a smile.

"Yeah, it's okay. It's a price I have to pay to live with you." He smiles.

He can smile. Like a real smile. Not a short one or a forced one, a REAL one. Not even that annoying yet sexy smirk.

"We'll go after breakfast because I have to be somewhere the whole evening. Is that okay with you?" I ask him.

"Yeah sure." He says just before one of the workers comes with our breakfast. He puts a plate on Christian

"Here you go." He puts the plate in front of me with our drinks. "Do you need anything else mam?" He asks me, his eyes never leaving me.

"Nah man, we are good." Christian cuts in and I laugh.

"No thank you, Andrew, I am good." I laugh out.

"Somebody has an admirer." Christian remarks after Andrew leaves.

"Can you blame him, he is a desperate, single 17-year-old," I say playfully. He laughs at this.

Well, it's not too bad to have some company around.

"This is so good," Christian says while eating the burrito.

And with that, we go on with our breakfast.

We both are making way to my car when I hear a voice calling my name.

"VICKY!!"

I look at my side to see Ashley running to me. I immediately bend down and catch her by her waist and she clings onto my body hugging me.

"Ash, how have you been?" I ask her, still holding her.

"I'm vewy good." She giggles. "I've missed you, Vicky." She pouts.

"Aww Ash, I have missed you too." I coo her.

"Who is that?" She whispers in my ear, well loud enough for Christian to hear.

"He's Christian. Say hello to him."

"Hello, Chwistian." She shyly wakes.

"Hello Ash, how are you?" Christan looks at her in awe.

"I'm good." She replies. "Awe you Vicky's boyfwiend?"

"No, I'm not I'm just a friend." He dismisses while I blush.

"Oh, then my bwother can be youw boyfwiend because he thinks you awe pwetty." She says.

Yes, Andrew is her desperate brother in need of a girlfriend.

"No your brother is too young but it is okay," I say not knowing what to say.

"Ashley, it's time to go." I hear Andrew call her.

"Coming." She yells back. "And Vicky, a secret." She again whispers loudly.

"What?" I whisper back.

"Andwew told me to ask if Chwustian was youw boyfwiend ow not." She giggles.

I laugh and this and tell her to go to her brother.

"She was the desperate kid's brother?" Christian snorts after we get in the car.

"Yeah. He has been after me since he was 13 or 14. I will be not surprised if he confesses his love for me one day." I state.

"So when do you go to meet your boyfriend today?" He asks out of the blue.

"My boyfriend?" I ask with a confused face.

"Yeah."

"But I don't have a boyfriend," I tell him.

"But you said you were going out tonight." He states like it is so obvious.

"Ohh. I am not going out with my boyfriend because I do not have one. I am going to a children's cancer hospital today to play with them and cheer them up." I tell him. "It is a part of my training. I go every Thursday and Friday. I couldn't go yesterday because if the storm so only Friday this week."

"Wow. That's actually great."

"Yeah, but seeing those kids fighting cancer like that, literally kills me," I tell him.

"Don't worry, I know the feeling."

We stay quiet after that until we reach the mall which takes about 40 minutes to the mall.

"Who's ready for some shopping?"
