It was a quaint little café that was surrounded by that luscious aroma of freshly brewed coffee. It was this, more than anything else, which caused the two of them to come in. They were the best of friends, deeply in love.
He looked into her eyes when he talked to her, because the subject they were talking about was something that both of them were quite passionate about. I don't really remember what they were talking about, but that's quite alright. What matters more, is the way they talked, and the way the rest of the world saw them talk. At that moment, for the two of them, nothing else existed, except each other's words, and the silent aroma of the brewing coffee nearby.
The waitress wasn't very sure whether she should interrupt them at that moment or not, so she waited a while. Giving them a few moments together, she finally moved closer to the table to take their order. It was quite a typical order during that season – two cups of cappuccino, and one chocolate brownie, served with a dollop of ice – cream. As she walked back to the counter, she couldn't stop smiling to herself for the two of them. They were still talking between themselves, without a care in the world…
The two cups of coffee and the chocolate brownie came as ordered. They didn't notice that the waitress was looking between the two of them, and smiling to herself while she served them the coffee. They picked up their cups and relished a sip each. They shared the chocolate brownie, even the ice – cream that came with it. The waitress couldn't help but look at them together, feeling happy for them. At the end of the delicious brownie and the mesmerizing coffee, they got up from their seats and advanced towards the counter where he paid for what they had ordered.
"Dude, I'm so glad I came with you here. Thanks for being my best friend, man!" she said to him
"Anytime, Dudette. Sorry for rushing like this, but my girlfriend's waiting outside," he said with a smile, and they walked out of that quaint little café, still talking like before. Outside, they high fived and walked their separate ways.
"Damn, they sure fooled us!" said one empty coffee cup to another.
Wow what a piece!:-) I loved the last line!!!!

March 21, 2009 at 5:07 PMThis post actually depicts real life incident for me. Me n my best pal have always encountered such situations from colleagues, acquaintances, not so close friends... even her mum had a sneaking doubt!! lol...
on the other hand it was also symbolic of how people think in general!!

April 21, 2009 at 8:00 AM@ Sumit... I'm sure there would be quite a few people who would be able to relate to this. Although, I've never had it happen to myself. Seen it though, happening to a few people around me. It's fun when it happens... hehe
Thanks for the comments man, cheers...
