“Tea or tuica?” “Tea," I say as I sit on a wooden chair. "I’ll descend before the sun goes down and I’m driving.” “You can leave tomorrow.” “Tomorrow night is a full moon, and I have to be with my pack.” “You have the time to get there if you leave straight to the meeting grounds.” It’s hard to refuse him when he wants something. Finally, I give in. “Tuica then.” He nods, smiling, and I watch him preparing it. Black peppercorns drop into the boiling alcohol. Solely the smell of the concoction makes me dizzy. This thing warms your insides and keeps you hot even on a freezing winter night.

Agad niya iyong iniwasan. “Ah, Sir— I mean, Calix. I will brew a coffee, gusto mo ba?” “Really?” he asked and she nodded in response. “Sige. I want a black coffee with less sugar and cream.” “Okay, diyan ka muna at gagawan din kita.” Saka siya tumayo at iniwan itong mag-isa roon. Abala siya sa pagtitimpla ng kape nang may biglang nagsalita, “Is it for me, or for your visitor?”

“Can’t feel it. Louise’s pills… make the red eyes go away too.” She clicked her tongue, her gaze darting to the crow’s reflection in the mason jar—its red eyes glinting like stained glass. “Espera (Wait).” She vanished into a kitchen reeking of burnt cinnamon, returning with a chipped mug.

Ishi recorded the particulars of the client named Aqua with no last name and informed them that he would send her a confirmation text for her order when he received the payment. “The courier will deliver your food within an hour after the food has been collected, so keep your eye on the phone for their text. Thank you for ordering with Super Sushi Savings, have a great day!” Confused about why the sushi chef was thanking her, Aqua replied with “You’re welcome” instead of “Thank you”, as rehearsed with Dawn and ended the call. After the call ended, the mermaid blinked and thought about what she meant to say. The realisation set in too late, and she gasped loudly, looking at the ended call.

he asked her, challenging. Patrice glared at him before smiling fake. “Our Espresso is the best in town, Sir.” She replied politely. L nodded, happy that he had managed to piss her today. Wow. That is happiness for L these past few days. “Then I’ll take it.” He replied. “I’ll have your famous Espresso.” Patrice nodded and scribbled L’s order in her notebook with some curses beside it. “We’ll have Espresso as well.” The rest of the Infinite members ordered as well.

The waiter picked up on my indecision. “On vay-cation?” His Italian accent rolled off his tongue”. “That obvious?” I raised my eyes to meet him, and for a minute, I studied his face. Strands of curls from his hair gently fell down his forehead and he had a sharp jawline, I was so sure would easily cut through paper. Now I see the fuss about Italian men. He nodded, “Sí”. “We usually recommend Cornetto and Chamomile for tourists. Our restaurant has the best Cornetto and our Chamomile is your best bet after jet lag”.

She replied. The waitress came back and brought a bowl of water for Teuf. “I’m Brandy, I’ll bring you another bottle of water for your fur friend.” “You have a friend for life.” Celeste smiled. “This mudslide…?” she pointed to the chocolate drink topped with ice cream and small chocolate curls. “Absolutely delicious.” Brandy smiled. “If you’re planning on having dessert, I recommend the triple chocolate cake with strawberries.” “Sold. Heavy on the Kailua, please.” Celeste smiled at her companion. “Electra?”

He ordered the strongest beer which has the unique name Bigote ni Antonio, I am supposed to take a hot tea but I don't want to appear like I'm weak in front of him, so I just ordered the next to the lightest beer, Espada ni Lapu-Lapu. I look at him as I drink into the snifter, He swiftly gulps into the mug like an ordinary drink. I'm speechless he's just nodding as if the strong taste didn't even hit him a bit. He is a hard drinker.

You'll take the order and pass it to me, and I'll be the one to pass it to the cook. Ma'am Celeste coded the menu by alphabet letters from A to E so that it was easy for us to take down, but if the customer requested food not included in the menu, you could tell me, and I'd ask Uncle Arthur if he could cook it. "Okay, this is the menu. Try to remember because sometimes customers don't say the code but the whole name of the dish they wanted." I look at the menus: A. Is Tom yum seafood soup with rice B.

Cassandria POV. I step into my kitchen with my head raised and head towards the kettle to make a coffee. I ignore the heated glare on my back. “Tesoro. We need to talk.” I look at the kitchen cabinet in front of me. “No, I don’t think we do, Matteo.” I say as I go back to making my coffee before I turn with the cup in my hand as I lean against the counter and just watch him. He looks pissed and relieved at the same time.
