Chapter 34 - Just A Complement

"Yeah, and you won't remember, because you were busy ignoring her words because she sounded rude earlier in her office, but you forgot she was the one who was trying to help us to join the high school's football team..."

"Hey, I am sorry, but that's past now, bro. Hey, let's forget about it..."

"Just look at you. "Let's forget about it, and it's past now." And do you think Mrs. Madison will forget about it because you never apologize for doing that?"

"Oh, whatever, bro. You know me well, and what I did the last time was Mrs. Madison's fallacious. Hey, that's fine and anytime we meet her, I will, trust me, G..."

"That's great, bro. It's good to see eye to eye with your mistakes so that you can work for good after your mistakes..."

"Oh, whatever, Garriso. Just tell me more about the coffee shop she wanted us to pass by...."

"Hmm, okay fine. There was this coffee shop named Peet's Coffee and Tea Shop."

"Oh, wow. So, Mrs. Madison wanted us to have some drinks at Sophia's workplace?"

"Yes, and we know nothing about it. And even if you allow Mrs. Madison to take us there, we will surely see Sophie, but we will never know her as our auntie. Or?"

"Yeah, bro. We didn't know about Sophia then. Miss Anna was always talking about Sophia, but we never had an eye on her personally, till the last time she came to us..."

"Yes, you're right, bro. But..."

"But what, Garriso? Even if we allowed Mrs. Madison that day, it would still be like we don't know her, and will you stop blaming this shit on me?"

"Hmm, okay, that's cool and have you given the location to the driver?"

"Yes, I did, bro. He knows it already, so don't worry."

"Okay, Lefah. And I think it's enough for this chat, but hey, one thing I don't understand here is that, why did Sophia invite us over, bro?"

"Hmm, so why don't you hold on to this kind question for us to get there before you ask Sophia, and I think we're almost there..."

"Oh, whatever, Lefah."

[Lefah laughs]

The next minute, the car stops in front of Peet's Coffee and Tea Shop at Uptown, street. The driver turned to Lefah and Garriso at the back seat and said, "Hey, guys, I think your trip ends here please..."

Lefah smiles at the driver and said, "Okay, here is your money, and thanks for the safe ride, nigger...."

"Thank you, sir, and may God bless you and your brother..." [The driver responds to Lefah]

Garriso smiles and said, "Don't worry, grandpa. We got this..."

"Hey, will you shut up, Garriso. You and who got this? Instead of you saying Amen after the old man's blessings. You're saying we got this?"

[Lefah snickers]

"Um, Amen. Grandpa...." [Garriso responded immediately to the driver]

"I don't blame you because you never like church...."

The driver smiles at Garriso and said, "Okay my grandson. May God be with you. Just take care of your mommy and daddy and be good boys always. And don't follow bad friends, okay?"

[Both] "Okay, grandpa. Bye."

[Car door opens]

"Hey, let's get down before he starts another chat. This old man is just like Grandma Maya." [Lefah smiles and said to Garriso ears]

"Hey, will you shut up before he hears us, Lefah?"

[Car door closes]

[Garriso and Lefah get down from the car and wave back to the driver when the driver was waving at them.]

"Hey, bye. And drive safe, my old man." [Lefah smiles and wave at the driver]

[The driver smiles at them and drives away to his destination just to keep working for more money.] 

[The car moves away]

"Hm, this old man is hilarious, bro. I mean nice to chat with him. just like Grandma Maya." [Garriso smiles]

"Yeah, bro. So, what's next and we are at the place now."

"Yeah, our next move is to get inside since we are in already. Or do you want me to call Sophia before we get inside?"

"Yeah, something like that, bro. What if we get in there, and she is not inside, bro?"

"Um, yeah. I really understand you, Garriso, but I don't think it's necessary for us to call Sophia before we get inside. Let's go, G..."

"Okay. What are we waiting for? Let's roll Lee..."

"Perfect." [Lefah responded immediately to Garriso]

Immediately Garriso and Lefah got inside the coffee shop. They saw a pretty young lady in there serving people coffee and tea. And that was the first thing to see. Their eyebrows became bright and loving immediately they saw the young lady. Both opened their mouths and said, "Wow!"

"Like damn! I think this is an angel coming down from the sky. She is so gorgeous looking, bro." [Garriso smiles and put his hands around Lefah's shoulder]

"Whoo, bro. Hold on there, Garriso. Hey, tell me. When did you start loving girls, I never knew, Garriso?"

"Hey, not that, bro. That girl looks pretty, and this is just a complement, my man...."

"Oh, I see. Hey, don't tell me you're in love with the barista, bro."

"No. Nope. Trust me, Lefah. I just say it because she really looks more gorgeous. Or can't you see?"

"Hey, bro. We have to go now. Hey, let's leave this place immediately...."

"Why, Lefah?"

"Hey, I think we lost our way in here, bro. Maybe this is not the place Sophia sent me. Let's get outside for me to call her, Garriso."

"Hey, come down. Hope that lady is not the reason why you want us to leave this place?"

"No, bro. And why would you think about that? And besides, I know that lady from nowhere...."

"Hm, okay. And you're even right because I was expecting to see Sophie immediately, we entered but she's not in...."

"Yeah, that's why I am confused here, but this coffee shop is the exact name Sophia sent to me this morning...."

"Hey, I got you right, bro. So, why don't we move forward to ask that lady about Sophia? If Sophia really works here...."

"Yeah, but I don't think it's a good idea, bro. Because you know all these kinds of pretty ladies and how they behave when you approach them. You know, I don't want any girl to disrespect us. But I'm cool if you want to go, but I am not going there with you, bro."
