Rin settles into her seat with her hands relaxed on the fabrics of her dress as she stares at Xavier.
-Well, I'll start ... Why do you insist on going to my coffee shop if on the first date you weren't even interested in seeing me?
She asked waiting for a credible enough answer.
Xavier just looked at her and then watched the people walking towards the park area.
-You made me feel something.... That's it, I don't know what it is since I never usually feel things like that but it's something that made me feel attraction is like.... An attraction when you show that strong character you have.
Rin looked at him incredulously and with some mockery.
-You mean you're a masochist, you like women to treat you badly and tell you what they think?
I said curiously but laughing mockingly.
-Wh-what? -No, I don't know how to explain it but..... was the first time someone, specifically a woman told me what she thought....ya I'm a man that, well everyone respects and I've never gotten a no for an answer.... but that day was different for the first time someone said what they thought of me.
You were even strong enough to throw water in my face and walk away like it was nothing.
The confession made Rin nervous as she remembered how uncomfortable she felt that day, but then she laughed as she remembered him with his hair covered in water and looking at her with surprise.
-Well, that's what you deserved for being an asshole.... We can't all put up with someone who's always cocky, you know.... And tell me, how does Mrs. Devra know you?
Who are you?
-I'm Xavier frandell son of Alfred frandell, my father is a very well known owner of some companies.... And well, the electrical services company where Devra works is one of my father's companies.
Rin looks at him with some surprise, seeing that he had gone out with the son of a very rich man that day.
-Wow, that took me by surprise. .... Since the first day I didn't know anything about you and now this answers some questions.
Confessed Rin still not believing that this man is the son of someone important, Xavier sees her and lets out a small smile before sighing and seeing her with a more serious expression.
-And you? Tell me about you... Who are you?
Rin thought a bit not wanting to talk about her but he had answered her questions without objecting and it would be in bad taste for her not to do so as well.
-I'm .... I'm Rin Korutsu... I don't have much to tell, I'm not from a wealthy family like yours, I live alone and I only work in my coffee shop....
She argued not wanting to say much about her life and simply what was necessary but Xavier noticed the sadness in her eyes.
-And why do you have a bad face...? I mean since I started going to your coffee shop I've noticed that your attitude is nice to people.... But when you're alone you look tired and sad.
Rin swallowed saliva and looked at him surprised, although she always tried not to show herself vulnerable this stranger had noticed it with little time visiting her cafe.
-I'd rather not talk about it....
-I.... I'd rather not talk about it....
Rin looks anywhere else to avoid his gaze, that makes Xavier raise an eyebrow to take Rin's chin with his hand so she could see it.
-I want to know, I want to hear.... I know I'm not that close to you, but maybe another opinion will help you.
Rin sighed and thought for about 15 seconds hesitantly but then spoke.
-I think a lot about my past.... As I said before, I'm lonely... My parents kicked me out of the house when I married a man who only wanted some benefit from my family, my father had left me his company and I ..... Out of stupidity and "Love" I put it in my then husband's name because he told me that he would take care of it and I would take care of the house .....
But he just took advantage of my vulnerable moment of falling in love and then he gave me a divorce and left with the company in his hands and a lot of money.... My parents didn't want to see me anymore because they said I had let them down.... And I lost my baby.... My ex-husband didn't care.... He ran off with another young woman and left me alone and with nothing, because of depression and bad food.... I lost my son...
Xavier gritted his teeth when he heard everything.... didn't know what to say or what to do he had never heard anything like that before maybe because his life is practically perfect.
His eyes stayed fixed on Rin who let tears slip silently but wiped them away quickly.
-Also, tomorrow I could lose my coffee shop .... the only thing I have because I don't have enough money to pay the debt to my lenders, I live in a constant stress that I try not to show because it makes me feel useless.
Xavier looked at her with pity and with intentions of wanting to comfort her but he didn't know how to do it, he had never comforted anyone.
Rin seeing how he looks at her associates his look with mockery and shame so she wipes her tears and gets up.
-I'm sorry I got carried away. .... This time I liked your behavior a little more.... Goodbye.
She left taking quick steps, Xavier raised his hand as if he wanted to take hers and stop her but something stopped him, possibly lack of understanding about intimate or emotional relationships.
-Rin.....Rin Korutsu....
Those were the last words that came out of Xavier's mouth before he looked towards the place where the woman left, he didn't say anything else, he just kept watching but something kept him worried and anxious....
