Stealing Your Heart - A Story

" Caramel Macchiato without cream ready," a guy in an emerald green apron came up the take away counter as swift as he could, his face plastered in very much radiance and the name on the tag were shining as the rays of the streaming sunlight were reflected on the silver engravings that seemed corporately decent.

The young man in an electric blue shades got up from the chair to collect his favourite coffee. He was dressed in a white Polo shirt and a plain black jeans and as he walked pass by the other customers in that spacious and luxurious cafe, one might assume that he is just an ordinary guy at one glance. Or maybe that he is bumptious judging by the fact that he would never even look at all the girls who couldn't hide their fervent towards him. Well, which girl wouldn't? He is Keegan McFreic. The reason why all the young ladies in the town sleep in with glee at 11:11, dreaming about him and his charms, his dark brown hair that seems to dance following the rhythm of the wind, and that perfect crooked smile that would seldom be seen. Yes. You never get to see Keegan McFreic's smile all the time. Unless you were the reason he was smiling and you had the magic to do that, absolutely, you have all the reasons to have your heart stopped beating and happily get yourself into a coma. Otherwise, you better be ready to jump into the lavas and have your oh-so-tragic death as the main headline of tomorrow's newspaper. If you dare to be the reason of the most trusted newspaper's dramatic escalation in revenue, you are very much welcome. If you dare to try and make him smile back at your attempts of getting his attention, well, you should know that you are getting yourself a complete biography published to be put  in the Keegan McFreic Wicked Library. If you wish, by all means.

The ironic thing somehow, was the fact that despite all those expressionless face he wore in public, their assumptions of his whimsical yet unreadable personality, they never saw what was actually behind the tainted windows of the metallic black limousine that ignites at any of his commands. They never get to see it. In all the times they got trapped in, they never know that he has been smiling all this while. Keegan McFreic smiles for the first time in history. Alert the media people, you don't want to be missing this million dollar opportunity.
