Days passed, Clyde would check on Andre every now and then. sometimes if Clyde is lucky his hand would brush off with Andre's. but today was different. the moment he walked inside the cafe he was greeted by another employee.

confused, he ordered his usual and asked about Andre,

"Excuse me, but where is the cute man that always take the orders? The man in the pink uniform" as they just finished college, Clyde is looking for a Job and every time he wants to take a break he would go here to stare at Andre and fantasize about him being his boyfriend, but today Andre is not here.

"He took a sick leave, he was drenched in snow yesterday so it was kinda obvious he would catch a cold" the employee said, as Clyde's Iced Americano was ready he took the coffee and left. a few day goes by and each day Clyde would visit the coffee shop only to see the same exact employee behind the cash register. but on the fifth day he was relieved to see a short man with pink apron and pink bunny ears behind the cash register.

he excitedly went to the cashier to order but he halted as he saw another man got behind Andre and placed the back of his palm on Andre's forehead. Clyde's blood boiled as he watched the scene going on in front of him. instead of calm steps he made sure to stomp his shoes towards the cash register to snap the two out of their fantasy.

as the two separates with each other Clyde recognized the man, he was the one who dropped Andre off to his work and now why is he here?

"what would you like to order sir?" Andre asked Clyde

"I want Iced Americano with four shots please" Clyde stated his order and Andre took his credit card

"here's your receipt and please wait for your order" Andre stated as he handed Clyde's credit card back to him

Clyde took the receipt and went to sit on his usual table, after a couple of Minutes Andre came to his seat with a Venti sized Ice Americano. at first Clyde was confused, he forgot to mention the size but here it is, A Venti sized Americano.

"wait, I don't remember saying the size" he said to Andre

"you always order your coffee here sir, so I kinda know what your preference is" Andre said as he placed the Americano on the table. he smiled at Clyde but as he turn around he stumbled on his shoes that caused him to fall on Clyde's lap. Andre was beyond embarrassed as he stood up.

"I'm so sorry, I-" Clyde cut off Andre by saying it's okay

Clyde watched Andre go back to the cash register and he could see Andre's red face. Clyde thought it's cute but he doesn't know what's going on Andre's Mind

after he finished his coffee he was about to leave when he saw Andre getting off of his work too, it was snowing pretty hard outside and he saw Andre doesn't have an Umbrella to protect himself from the snow. Clyde was about to offer his umbrella but the man he hated so much appeared out of nowhere. he then gave Andre an Umbrella while Clyde was standing awkwardly behind them with his hands extended towards Andre.

he's so frustrated he stomped away from the two exiting the cafe, he turned left with a huff. he's angry at himself because he felt so defeated in front of Andre. he walked fast to quickly leave the vicinity and while doing so he bumped into a lady. he helped her stand up and apologized, the lady said it was okay and was quite touchy towards Clyde. we cannot blame the lady because Clyde is a very attractive lad, with a slim body, anyone would fall for him. but he doesn't know what's wrong with Andre, why can't he be attracted to him? or was he wrong?

as soon as he got rid of the Lady that was trying to get his number, he then went back to his way only to find a standing Andre in front of him. he almost jumped in shock to see Andre standing in front of him

"oh, you scared me" he said as he placed his palm on his heart to calm himself

"what are you doing here by the way?" Clyde asked Andre as he noticed that there was snow on top of Andre's head. Clyde being oblivious of the latters blush, he slowly removed the snow on top of Andre's head by patting his head. as Clyde got rid of the snow, he was about to talk to Andre but luckily they were standing very close to each other when Andre fainted. Clyde managed to catch Andre on his arms and hailed a taxi to bring Andre to the hospital. Clyde was nervous as hell, this is the first time he got this close to Andre but he was taking him to the hospital.

as Clyde carries Andre inside the Hospital, the Doctors Immediately checked Andre. The Doctors told Clyde that it was because of his fever and that there's nothing to worry about. as they moved Andre to a room Clyde went to the cashiers office to pay for the bills. as he look at Andre he cannot stop himself from being lost. Andre's face was angelic even if he's sleeping. he seems so innocent and fragile. Clyde felt this urge to protect the man lying on top of the hospital bed.

Clyde went closer to Andre as he sat down beside him, he took Andre's hand on his and hoped that Andre is okay. he told himself if he felt Andre move he would immediately remove his hands but his Brain says otherwise. because the moment he held Andre's hand he doesn't want to let go, and as on Cue, Andre opened his eyes to see Clyde holding his hand and his face were pretty close to his. others would panic but to Clyde's surprise, Andre smiled.

"so it's really you?" Andre asked but he closed his eyes the moment he asked that question due to fatigue

Clyde is now confused on what he means by that, did Andre mistaken him from the man in the Coffee shop? with this thought in mind he placed Andre's hand on the bed and left the Room.

he looked up the number of the Cafe Andre worked at and called to inform them on what happened. but when they asked for Clyde's name he turned silent thinking that he might ruin someone else's relationship and just answered a "Concerned Citizen"

as Clyde ended the call he looked at Andre, heartbroken of course. but what can he do? Andre is in a relationship already. he left the hospital with a heavy heart.

as soon as he got home he told himself to stop going to the cafe, but after spending almost half a month going back and forth to that cafe he find himself conflicted.
