>>55244492>The smell of waffles and bacon were looming from the cafeteria>God must have been on your side as you was craving for the breakfast>You was excited that he was on time to receive it before the late morning rush.>You brushed past the doors to enter the cafeteria when suddenly you saw the very thing that was causing your nightmares.>Lumi was on her smartphone as she was taking bites of her scrambled eggs.>She took a glance before gleefully waving at Anon.>"Umm," she said as she swallowed her breakfast. "Good morning, Anon." She lowered her eyebrows.>"Didn't think you were capable enough of being an early riser.">Lumi smiled, rubbing the back of his head. "Well, couldn't sleep. So, why not get an early start.">She nodded her head. "Good thing too for this breakfast is to die for. They are even doing heart-shaped waffles.">"Oh," responded You responded flatly. "It's Valentine's Day, isn't it.">Lumi took another bite of her eggs before responding. "Sure is. Happy Valentine's Day by the way.">It was causal, not threatening as she was in your dream.>"Same to you, Lumi," You replied.>You excused yourself from Lumi as you went to get yourself some breakfast.>A few moments later, you returned with a plateful of waffles, scrambled eggs, and bacon.>A breakfast that fitted for a king.>You sat across from Lumi as she made room for you>You barely took a bite before Lumi spoke."Any hopes of catching a Valentine this year?" She asked as she was swaying her fork.
>"There has to be girls lining up for you this year.">You shrugged your shoulders nonchalantly.>"Honestly, I didn't give this day a thought until you had mentioned it.">"Aw, c'mon, Anony. This is a day where Cupid points arrows to make destiny to loved ones.">You swallowed a mouthful of waffles. "More like putting a dent in your wallet.">"I don't think like that. I think of it as a romantic gesture to show your love.">"Then why not do it on the thirteenth or the fifteenth? Hell, even on March 30th?">"God, you are sounding like a cynic," she said while laughing. "No wonder you don't have a Valentine.">You responded to the laughter. "I am not, Lumi. I am just not interested in this particular holiday." You took a breath.>"Plus, I have other things to focus on. Like….">"I know, I know, anon. Becoming a Mechanical engineer. At some point women have to take place in there, am I right?">You responded by flicking on her forehead.>"Oww," she said. "What was that for?">You picked up the book in question. He should have known it was a romantic book.>"You really have to quit reading these romance manga. All of that is pure fantasy.">She rubbed her sore spot. "Well, some of us do believe in love.">"I am not against it, Lumi. I just don't let it be the highpoint of my life as of now. I am twenty-one. I have plenty of time.">She spat through her teeth. "If you say so, Mr. Curmudgeon.">You confirmed it by taking her glass of her orange juice.>"Hey," she scoffed. "That was my glass!">"A full day supply of vitamin C," he said while smiling."Just look at it as an indirect kiss from those mangas of yours." He stood up from his chair.
>"I'll go and get you another glass. I will be back.">Lumi watched as anon walked away to get her juice.>She then turned back to the table.>You...you won't be my boyfriend?>"So, it has been a year since that day." She rested her eyes on the table.>"It's good that he doesn't remember.">She reached into her backpack where she pulled out a vial.>She read the label quietly.>Crystallized Love potion>She was careful to measure the dose correctly.>She needed enough to put him in a catatonic state.>She knew the potion was odorless and tasteless, so it was no problem as she used his fork to blend it in his scrambled eggs.>She poured a little on his pancakes and used the syrup to hide the powder.>If anon would look at his eggs, he would have mistakenly assumed it to be pepper.>The powder will take effect about an hour after consumption.>"We have free period today. So, when we meet eachother, I will have alone time with him. This year, what I am going to do is meaningful and loving.">"I am going to make you mine for sure," she exclaimed under her breath.>She retreated quickly when hearing his voice, concealing the vial in her pocket.>She saw Anon slide the glass to the table.>"Freshly squeezed for the lady," said anon as he returned to his seat.>"Why, thank you," she said gratefully as she consumed the orange juice.>She placed her lips where Anon left his lip print.>She watched as Anon returned to his food, scarfing the eggs like it was no tomorrow.>She released a sigh as she finished her juice.>It was the best drink she had ever tasted.
