Chapter 1

It´s a cloudy day, they said that there´s a chance it´ll rain today. A big chance.

Days like this have different effects on people, mostly when the weather makes the temperature decrease. Therefore, people look for a source of heat.

Some like to drink at the bar; some like a warm, home-cooked meal. And some others, they just want coffee. And what a better place than a coffee-shop?

Right now, we´re located in one, downtown. The place is nice, with music, but not the kind that keeps you from hearing what you´re saying, more like the kind that only gives some ambience to the place.

There´s a few people, it´s not that busy, even with the weather. There´s more people in line than sitting at the tables, or by the couches. A line, of no more than ten people.

There´s a lady sitting there, this is her regular hour to be here, at least during this day.

Her name´s Penelope, or Penny as her friends call her.

She´s a young woman, she turned 26 last month. Right now, she´s looking at her wrist watch, checking the time.

“Hmm… a little late… maybe it´s the weather?” she wondered as she took a sip of her latte.

Penny took a deep breath and sat back, her long, raven hair moving gracefully as she shook her head a bit.

Why is it late? Is she waiting for someone?

Well, yes, and no.

Penny always comes at this place on Fridays, sometimes other days, but always on Fridays. And at this same time as well.

Does she meet someone here on Fridays? Is this other person running late? Again, yes and no.

She´s definitely waiting for someone, a guy. He´s a man, about her age. And every time she spots him, she can´t help but to fall in love with him.

Maybe it´s because of his blue eyes, maybe it´s his handsome face. Perhaps, the fact that he´s tall? With an athletic built? Maybe because they are about the same age?

There´s a chance that she´s been single for too long, in her single-girl-era. An era she didn’t plan on lasting for so long.

She´s not desperate, but she´s… kind of a stalker? Not at all, but he´s a man like no other.

She´s unsure on how this all started, or why she´s always here to meet him, well, to look at him.

They haven´t even spoken, except for that one time when he held the door for her.

He smiled at her, and she completely melted. She stood there, looking at him for a second, but that was all she needed to fall in love with him.

“I should stop doing this… am I creepy? Does this make me… weird?” It´s like a crush, only that your crush comes to this same place on Fridays.

The fact that she knows when he comes, it´s kind of when a fan knows where to find an artist. However, it´s kind of… stalking as well.

She doesn´t even know his name, all he knows is that he comes here, same place, same time, and he always orders the same.

Speaking of him, she can spot him through the big windows. Looking as charming as ever.

She sighed, delighted. Has anyone noticed this? She´d be in trouble if anyone knows she´s been coming her only to look at him.

Once it´s a casualty, twice is, still sort of a casualty, but she´s been coming here for about two months now!

By now, she thought she might have had a chance to speak to him, but she´s always there, looking at him from the distance, too shy to approach.

Shy, and there´s another reason…

For now, she glared at him. The handsome man, walking through the door. Those eyes, the barely grown beard he has, maybe he hasn´t shaved in two or three days, but it gives him some masculine looks.

His hair, almost as dark as hers, however, his must be natural, she just picked a color at the hair-saloon.

Now, he´s waiting in line, Penny knows how not to be so obvious, she simply glares at him every now and then.

One by one, people ordered and left. But he doesn´t leave the shop, he always stays for a while.

He´s next in line, the cashier greets him, he smiles, with that million-dollar smile, and then orders his usual.

Penny can echo the words as he speaks. “One large macchiato, please.” Always the same, and with that smile, oh, how much she´s dreamed on being the one he smiles at.

She even thought about getting a job here, just to greet him and take his order, but she knows she´s most likely to be dumbfounded when he looks at her. Plus, she´s got a nice job, and doesn´t need the extra money.

He waits, and while he does, she glares at him a little more.

He´s just the man to her. Tall, at least compared to her 5´6”. He must be about 6´ tall. She could wear four-inch heels and still look up to him.

She´s been trying to figure out his name, they don´t call you by the name on the store, they just give you the order right away, and since his is always just the macchiato, it´s easy to hand it fast.

Then, as every Friday, he goes and picks the table by the window. Penny has always been wanting to step up and walk towards him. Ask him if the seat´s taken, and then, sit with him.

She fantasized they will chat, share numbers, and eventually, become friends. And that, with time, they could be more than friends. However, there´s something, aside of her shyness, that stops her.

Every time, a little after he arrives, maybe ten or fifteen minutes, comes a woman.

Penny easily spots her because she´s tall. VERY tall. She could be about 6´4” or 6´5”. With her long hair, her provocative breasts. Penny´s annoyed by her, why does she have to show off so much?

“I´m much prettier…” she always complaints. “Her… nose is too big, mine´s nice and cute.” She´d say.

But why is she so upset with that woman? Well, there´s a simple reason.

“Babe!” The man would say, standing up and greeting this tall woman, his girlfriend…

Penny just frowns and turns away, not wanting to see how they kiss. It´s obvious they are a couple.

This man always comes here, and it´s always to meet his girlfriend. In fact, the macchiato he orders, it´s never for him it´s for her. No wonder why it´s the large size.

“Hope it goes straight to your ass…” Penny grunts as she looks away. She´s so jealous of the tall lady.

Always wondering what he sees on her? Why is he with such a tall woman? Does he like them tall? No way she can compete with her. She´s WAY too tall, not even heels can help her.

“Maybe a stool… standing on top of a chair?” she wonders, afraid she´s not his type.

So, why is she constantly coming here? Just to torture herself? Just to stalk the lovely couple?

They are so sweet, he´s so nice, so attentive. He´d make such an amazing boyfriend! Penny knows so.

Envy? Jealousy? Anger? A little bit of all. This tall woman has what she wants, the perfect boyfriend. Maybe she doesn´t appreciate him that much because she´s taller than him?

“If I were her, I´d be here half-an-hour earlier, and order for him… just saying.” One could tell the sour thoughts she had.

This is kind of torture to her, however, if this allows her to look at him, even if it´s just for an hour every week, she´ll take it.

And, who knows, one of these days… her chance might come?

Penny often wondered if she could be this man´s type. Maybe he likes tall women? She could… definitely wear heels.

She would love to have a chance to talk to him, maybe it´ll be easier if he was shy too. However, the fact that the man´s with a much taller woman certainly talks about his confidence.

He´s always smiling, energetic while they speak, kind, polite. He must be outgoing, proactive, Penny doesn´t know, but she´s sure he´s one of those men who gets what they want in life. Whether it´s easy or not to get, he´ll thrive until he gets there.

“If only…” she said, her eyes turning sad as she, feeling defeated, turned at her phone and swiped through her social media.

Videos of dogs, people tripping in a funny way, and also, couples.

Couples being silly, pranking each other, walking by the sea, or doing whatever they were, they were together. When will she have someone to be with? When?

She didn´t notice, she focused only on her gloomy thoughts, however, things were not going so great with this guy and his girlfriend.

They chatted, as usual, the typical question about how their day was, plans for dinner, and plans on what to do over the weekend. They were busy during week-days, so this was the only time they could meet to chat, other than the weekend, of course. That´s why this was kind of special.

But this time, things were different. This time, the guy had a proposal for his girlfriend.

He waited for the right time to ask her, and she was listening.

Penny was just trying to find a way for the algorithm not to send her so much happy couples, in the meantime, the happy couple at the coffee shop was having a not-so-happy time.

The man was talking all about this, he was excited, it was a proposal he truly wished she liked. Something that sent chills through his spine, and even made him quiver a little.

The lady was listening while taking sips of her drink, but as he went on, the curiosity she had, began to transform in disgust.

At first, she thought it was a joke, how could he ask something like that? But she knows him better, this is the way he talks about things he likes, and not only likes, but adores!

“Are you serious?” She asked, with some annoyance on her words.

“I… I am. Don´t you think it´ll be kind of… lovely? It´s, you know, special…” he could see that she didn´t like the idea.

He felt kind of bad, he was hoping she´d like it, the way she acted sometimes, it seemed she´d be fit for this role. However, the effect this had on her was the opposite.

“I mean, we don´t have to go, like, all in, just…” he started, trying to convince her.

“No.” she said, putting her drink down.

“But… maybe…” his heart skipped a beat.

“No.” she repeated.

“I… maybe you… didn´t understand…” he started, “let me explain…” she didn´t let him.

“No, I understand. I understand we´re done. Neil, you and I, we´re over.” A breakup?

Apparently, the handsome man´s name was Neil, and now, he was single.

She didn´t want to make a scene, his “idea” kind of creeped her. Who´d ask someone else to do something like that?

However, Neil couldn´t just let her go.

“Wait! L-Laura!!!” He said as he stood from his seat and stretched his arm, as if he was trying to reach her.

“No! We´re over! I… I don´t want to see you again…” Was all she needed to say for him to stop.

He should´ve tried, maybe if he begged her? Maybe they could forget about this?

No, that wasn´t the right choice. What he said has been said, what´s done, it´s done.

She didn´t like his idea, and it was the kind of idea that could break relationships up. And now, his was done.

Neil was sad, he felt like he lost his other half. She was kind, she was sweet, and she was everything he´s been looking for. Well, not everything, it seems.

He sat back, turned to see the large cup in the table, she only drank half. Then, he took the cup, his lip quivered, and suddenly, he drive his hands to his face and covered his eyes.

Had this actually happened? Penny turned, just in time to see both of them standing, and to look at him as he seemed to beg her to stay.

Their body language was easy to read, and the woman´s words just confirmed what she thought, they broke up.

“We´re over…” the words echoed in Penny´s mind.

Does it make it a bad person if she kind of celebrated? Inside her mind, she was screaming: “YES!”

Victory! The tall girlfriend´s gone! She noticed as she left the shop, her long strides, mad strides, and she could see a frown in her face.

What has happened? Why did they break up? Well, that´s none of her business, the real deal is, who´ll be there to comfort this heart-broken man?

Penny turned back at the man, his hands on his face as he looked down at the table. Was he crying? Maybe he needs someone to tell him everything´s going to be alright.

Penny needs to act fast, before anyone else. They didn´t make a scene, but they were kind of loud at the end, a couple other people turned.

Penny looked around and, after taking a deep breath to fill herself with courage, she stood and went straight to him.

One of the workers seemed to be approaching him from behind, unsure whether or not to say something, but Penny stopped the lady before she did anything. Last thing she needs is for him to fall in love with some other lady.

“Don´t worry, I got it.” Penny´s just a stranger, but so is this other woman. Plus, no one really wants to deal with people crying, unless this person´s a handsome man who´ll make the perfect boyfriend to flaunt on thanksgiving.

“Excuse me, are you ok?” Penny asked, placing a hand over his shoulder.

Neil wasn´t crying, at least he wasn´t sobbing. He turned at her, his gorgeous eyes were teary, that´s it.

“I… don´t know…” he replied.

His words seem true, the look on his face, he hasn´t fully accepted what has happened.

“May I take a sit? I mean, if you don´t mind?” She asked.

“Sure, I… be my guest…” he said, his voice breaking a little.

What is she doing? Is she actually going to take advantage of this man´s breakup? Is she that desperate?

“Listen,” Penny said, holding both of his hands in between hers. “I don´t mean to be, nosy or anything, but I couldn´t help but to see what just happened. And I don´t think this is the way, or the place, for someone to break up with you.” She said, trying to be empathetic, and giving her kindest smile.

“No, it´s ok, I don´t think you´re… nosy. Maybe everyone here heard us…” he replied.

Penny looked into his eyes, who´d make such pretty eyes cry? For a moment, she was overwhelmed by his looks. But she must say something, and fast.

“You poor thing…” was all she managed to say, removing a tear from his eye tenderly. Her thumb, caressing his face as she cleaned the tear.

She doesn´t know what to say, but her words had a certain effect on him.

Penny was a pretty lady, but it wasn´t her looks what was growing on him, but her words, her actions.

Neil felt vulnerable, maybe he chose the wrong lady? What if this was a sign? What if this lady right here, who seems to sweet and caring, what if she was faith? Destiny pairing them together. Putting them on the same place, at the same time.

“You… you come here often, right? I… I think I´ve seen you before.” He asked, his heartache settling a little.

“Well…” what can she say? Only when you´re here? “I do come here… once in a while…” she lied.

“And, are you as sweet with everyone? Or… is it just me?” he asked, but not in a cocky way, it sounded like a sincere question.

“I… I like to think I´m sweet with those who need it. Why? Need a hug? I can lend you a shoulder if you need one.” What was she saying?

Maybe she was taking this too far, or just far enough?

“I… maybe some other time. Uhm…” he liked it, the care, maybe she was the one. “I´m Neil, and you are…?” he asked.

“I´m Penelope, but you can call me Penny.” She said.

“Nice to meet you, Penny. Would you… like a coffee?” he asked.

“Well, I already have a drink here.” She said, with her latte in hand.

“Of course, uhm… maybe dinner? Like… you and me? You don’t have to say…” he needed to know her, he wanted to be with her. Which lady will offer a shoulder where to cry on just because?

“Yes! I mean… if you like.” She said.

“I´d love to…”

And this right here, it was the beginning of something bigger.

Penny might have caught the attention of this handsome man. Perhaps, a bit too easy. However, it´s him who found who he was looking for.

Penny seemed attentive, caring, understanding. Will she be willing to do what his, former, girlfriend didn´t? Was this the beginning of a new relationship?

Penny has no idea what she´d getting into, but she shouldn´t be afraid, she´d do anything for him. She even went towards him and tried to comfort him, she doesn´t do anything just for anyone.

Is she getting into something she might regret? Or, will she like the idea he has? Surely, this won´t happen from one day to another. Maybe after getting to know each other, after a few dates.

In the end, who knows, she might fall in love so deeply with him that she´ll do anything for him. Inside her mind, as she ponders whether to agree or now, she might think:

“Well, if it´s for him…”
