Chapter 6: Mistletoe

Mistletoe

 

When was the last time I stood under the mistletoe with someone else? I laugh because I think since my last breakup, I allowed no man in my house. After that breakup, I was about to give up on love when suddenly he came back.

The owner of the Mistletoe Cafe, Noah Johanson, with whom I have worked in the past as well. This one guy has been the reason for pleasure as well as pain on several occasions. You know someone whom you want badly but know that at the end you will be the one who would be badly hurt? Well that kind of situation I was in back then.

It's not that I watch boys all the time. I have been a studious girl who barely dated in school and even in college, I was asked to stay away from boys.

I met Nick, my ex-boyfriend at my last job. and our relationship didn't last long. I think only three months? Wow! Even my enmity with Noah Johanson was longer.

But Noah was different than Nick. Secretly, I missed Noah all the time. 

It was at the first job I met Noah. And soon the job ended, so did our relationship - if there was any. I was left with mixed feelings. Feeling that I should go to his place and try to patch up with him, which I have been doing for ages. And on the other hand, my brain is screaming at me for how long are you going to do this? This was not the first time we had a major fight.

The problem with Noah was that he never defined our relationship properly. What was I to him? Secretary? Girlfriend? What exactly? 

We first fought when he was assigned to be our group leader for a local project because we weren't on the same page. Then we flew together to Ireland for our first international project which went well by god grace but we came back with a new relationship between us. Confusing at first, because you know, boys won't admit it until you force them to. I know I know, not a good choice, but what to do? They are so stubborn, just like a child. Innocent and dangerous at the same time. How long can one tolerate that?

The last time we met at his cafe, I saw a new sparkle in him.

He wants me.

But won't be taking our relationship further.

He says he likes me.

But then a little turbulence and he shuts himself off completely.

He is lovable, but still painful to handle. Mixed feelings, only women can understand.

After breaking up with Nick. Now Noah is back. He has his own place now. He always wanted to be the owner of a coffee shop in Brooklyn. It was his mom's dream.

I entered the cafe, not knowing that it belonged to him. It was my roommate's fault. Blame her or..... bless her. Whatever it is, she is responsible, alone.

Now I am standing here waiting for him. He asked me for a date the previous night to which I replied positively. Let’s see how it goes.
