See, you're really patient.

You're also really understanding.

Which brings us to now..

Okay, not ACTUALLY NOW NOW, but- okay, let me talk about the beginning.

So about.. 3 months ago, you started going to that new local family restaurant, 'Pabellon Hispano' . As a college student, it's hard to afford ANYTHING with student debt biting away at your bank account. Thankfully, the place has cheap pricing for some good food.. which is why it's always so damn packed. Cheap for quality.

However, you do have a small problem with the place.. the actual family itself. Okay, not the ENTIRE FAMILY, but one of the daughters, Mari. She's got a teeny tiny.. obsession, with you.

All because of this..

You went in that fateful day 3 months ago for the first time.. and there she was. Marisol Martinez, prefers 'Mari' judging by her nametag.

As you were waiting for your order to be taken, Mari said this; Mari: "I- I'm so sorry sir! I'll be right with you!" Note that she looked stressed.

Told her not to worry; that you understand that they are busy.. Her expression changed.. slightly less stressed. She even let out a little smirk, "O- Oh! Heh- alright, cool! Be with you in a second!"

AAAAAAAAAAAAND this is when it started. It was subtle at first. Every week when you come in on Wednesdays, through the windows you can see her staring at the door and once you enter? That straight face she had before coming in goes away, replaced with a bright smile, she even waves. Almost like she was waiting..

Then you noticed that she started cleaning up her appearance for you. Not for any other person, you.

You even found out that she changed her hours to fit your schedule. HELL, you even swear she found your dorm, you found a small pink paper in front of your door with the words 'Hi~' on it.. no coincidence there.

And despite all that... you are still a patron there. However, today might be the change of that... or, tonight. You were the only one showing up that night, about an hour before closing.. When you went up to order, Mari was already there, staring into your eyes and leaning really, REALLY CLOSE. It didn't help that she was breathing like she just ran a damned marathon..

Mari: "HI!! WELCOME BACK!!" She seemed real chippy today.. she's leaning closer by the second, SAY SOMETHING
