Dear.....

Taking a deep breath, Mia pushed open the door of the café she was working at and entered inside.

The week before, Mia and her co-workers had decorated the whole place according to the theme of the Christmas.

As being the Christmas Eve the whole place was rushed.

Mia hurriedly went inside, 'I hope he is not there…I hope he is not there….' That was the only thought going on in her mind.

As she entered the kitchen she saw all the workers were busy working, but she didn't see him.

Sighing relieved, she went towards the lockers and changed into the uniform.

As she got busy with the work, she soon forgot about him.

Taking the orders and waiting the customers, she spent her whole morning.

The people, which were coming were the couples for most of the time which were out on their Christmas Eve date.

As the afternoon came, the rush of the people went down and all the employees got a little time to have a break.

Mia and Yuna were sitting at the counter when their manager came and said, "Good work girls!"

"Thank you!" Both the girls gave him a tired smile.

"If this keeps going on, we will get fairly profited this year!" He seemed pretty happy.

"Yes!"

"Now go and take a break. I'll look after here."

"Okayyy…"

The girls got up and went inside.

As they got into the locker room, Mia removed her apron and sat on the stool.

Sighing to herself, she said with tired tone, "I'm really hungry."

"You are? What do you want my dear?"

"!!!"

"!!!"

Both of them turned back in shock.

Ray was standing there at the door leaning to it, folding his hands and carrying a smirk on his face.

'What the—' Mia was stunned to see him there.

As she hadn't seen him the whole morning, her mind was a little relaxed.

But when she saw him, standing before her like that, she just couldn't understand what to do.

Panicked; she looked at Yuna who was looking at her with a huge question mark on her face.

"Mia?" Ray called her name gently.

She looked at him, still her eyes showing the surprise.

"Do you need something? I'll get it for you…" He said again.

As Mia wasn't saying anything, Yuna spoke up first, "Mia, why is he talking like that?"

Mia looked at her, her eyes panicked.

She couldn't understand how to say and what to say.

But then, he walked towards her and wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her closer.

"Huh?"

"!!!" Yuna's eyes opened wide.

"Didn't she tell you?" He asked to Yuna.

"…"

"Why didn't you tell her, dear?" He looked at Mia and smirked.

"…What?....What you didn't tell me?" Yuna asked looking at Mia, little confused.

"Wait, I'll tell you..." He said. Then pausing for a second, he looked at her face from the corner of his eyes and said, "We two are dating now."

"What???" Yuna's jaw was dropped down in surprise.

Mia looked down, hiding her face. 'Why? Why is he being like this?'

"…Umm….Mia?" Yuna asked.

Mia looked up at her though she didn't want to have this conversation.

"Is he….Is the owner of this café…your boyfriend?"

"Umm…"

"Then what?" Ray interrupted. "We are dating. She is my girlfriend and I'm her boyfriend. Isn't that right dear?"

Saying that he pulled her even closer to himself and rested his lips on her cheeks.

"!!!!"

The next instant Mia had pulled away herself from his embrace and was now standing before him with upset expressions.

"What? What happened dear?" He asked as if he didn't get anything. But he already knew everything and he was expecting her reaction.

Looking at is devilish expressions, Mia stepped back a little and then looked at Yuna who was just standing there, expecting an answer from her.

"Yuna unni?" Mia called, "Can we just talk about this later?"

"..."

"I bettter take care of this..."

"Ray?" She called him, "We…We need to talk!"
