Chapter 2
Reed
your hometown was quite...
Reed
*stares the ceiling and windows, scanning the interior design
Reed
this train was old enough, it could have survived from wars
Reed
when will you come back after your visit?
Reed
I just hope your hometown was abundant with nature
Simone looked at him and raise his brows.
Reed
and famous people too
Reed
can't wait to taste the bread and pastries fresh from your town
The ride was in silence, until Reed finally breaks it.
Reed
when will you tell him?
Reed
Emile would become upset from your decision
Reed
how many months or years?
Reed
are you sure you're quitting your job?
Simone
got the resignation letter lately
Simone
away from city crowd and pollution
Reed
you'll lose your dream job
Simone
well, I got another one now
Reed was speechless and left in awe.
Simone
I'll open a coffee shop nearby
Reed
you tell me you'll switch to business now?
Reed
coffee can cause addiction and that's not peace
Simone
you want me to stop?
Reed
I want to have a free coffee or maybe is there any discount in your shop?
Simone
nothing's free in business
Reed
I'm your bro, exactly! And you can give me a discount using the brooooooo card
Reed
you'll giving free and discounts for your loyal customers
Reed
from now on, I'm applying for that loyalty customer position and get that damn discount
Reed
promise, I'll promote your coffee
Reed
you can get a free promotion, free flyers that was officially edited by me and I'll try to convince Emile for your magazines
Simone
convince me more or I'll—
Reed
I'm shutting my mouth right now and zip it off
Reed
but damnnn...I want that free coffee
After a long ride, they both finally reach the hometown of Simone, where he grew up.
Reed
I could leave here for a long time, the scenery, old buildings, shops and old styles
Reed
I could smell the aroma of roasted coffee beans and bread from here
Simone
we could stop for a while in that shop to eat, and I could introduce you to the famous bake shop in here
Simone
*pointing the nearest shop
Reed
yeah...but let's save it for tomorrow and the rest of the day
Reed
I'll take resting for now and yeah... I got this damn heavy loads in my back
Simone
that could take for one month
Simone
we'll only spending 3-5 days in here, just a quick visit
Reed
I'll probably have all of these stuff in here, since I gotta spend those days with nature, coffee, bread and...
Reed
you took things seriously
Simone
zip it until we reach my home
Reed
your home was far from the train stop
Reed
my legs we're bulking
Reed
but damn it's hurting
Simone
good, you got free exercise
Simone
it'll tone your leg muscles
While on their way, Reed noticed some pretty local ladies.
Reed
good for modelling, isn't it?
Simone
they aren't locals, they are foreigners nor tourists
Reed
but they got the looks and charm
Reed
*walks to the bake shop
Reed
I want to get some bread
Simone
you just refused eating a while ago
Reed
oh I see, your coffee was spilled
Reed
let me help you with your books and stuff
Reed
*reach the books on the ground
Rain
I-I'm f-fine... I can get this my o-own
Reed
your books may have stained from the spilled coffee, it was now ruined
Reed
it was my fault, I'm sorry
Rain
*fainted on the ground
Simone
*caught her on his arms
Reed
I swear I didn't do anything, I just accidentally spilled her coffee and ruined some pages on her books
Reed
I'll call an ambulance, or we could bring her to the hospital
Simone
we'll take her home
Reed
you'll take a woman to your home? with us two?!
Simone
there was another reason for her sudden fell off
Reed
what do you mean? another reason? eh?
Reed
*noticed a bunch of men on the opposite direction staring at them
Simone
suspicious isn't it?
Reed
let's take her to your home
Reed
*flashed a serious looked
