I was checking the latest sales on the computer at the counter when I heard Dana's voice behind me or should I say Dana's song behind me.

"I don't mind not knowing what I'm heading for... you can take me to the skies... It's like being lost in heaven... when I'm lost in your eyes..."

Furrowing my eyebrows, I turned in her direction as she sang the chorus of the song that's playing softly inside the coffee shop. Well, honestly, it made me frown not because of the song but the way she sang it. She emphasized every word especially the last line.

"What? Am I not a good singer?" She asked, trying to hide the mischievous grin on her lips.

"Tss!" I rolled my eyes. "Such a clever question, huh! I wasn't born yesterday!"

But she just laughed at me. "Oh, of course, you aren't, but I saw you and you can't deny it." she winked at me.

"And what is it? What do you mean?"

And with the widest grin she could ever give me, she walked closer to me and glanced in Luke's direction who's currently having a meeting with his employees. He was sitting in the same spot he sat in the last time.

"I saw you staring at him. I saw the way you stared at him... so viscous---ouch!"

She didn't have the chance to continue what she was saying as I nudged her side with my elbow.

"That's not true!" I said narrowing my eyes on her and turning my attention back to the computer screen to hide my face from embarrassment.

"Haha... it's alright, I understand." She shrugged. "Oh, it's like being lost in heaven, when I'm lost in your eyes..." She sang again and was about to go back to the kitchen but I grabbed her hand and made her sit next to the chair I was sitting on.

"Stay here for a while, I have something to tell you." I started with a sigh, but her eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.

"Yeah, sure, you can tell me anything and everything, I'm all ears, my friend!" She even clapped her hands.

"Actually, you're right, I was looking at Luke when you came---"

"See? I knew it!" She interrupted me.

"Wait, let me finish! I said, I was just looking and not staring!"

"But it's just the same!'

"No, it's not because I wasn't looking at him for a long time. It was just a quick glance that's just it!"

"Hmm?"

"Haist! It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not, but here's the thing." I straightened my sit. "Actually, it wasn't him I was staring at earlier but his secretary."

She frowned.

"His secretary? Why, what about her?" She repeated and her eyes immediately looked for the secretary I was referring to.

"She's weird, I mean, it's not the first time I've noticed the way she looked at him---"

"Wait---him? You mean Luke?"

"Well, yeah, but this is not about him."

"Uhuh...okay..." She said nodding and based on the smile she's giving me, I know there's something in there. But since I don't want to prolong the conversation, I decided to ignore her.

"As I was saying, this is not the first time I've noticed the way she looks at him. There is a certain affection in her voice and her eyes sparkle every time she looks at him... and..."

"And...?"

"And I shouldn't have minded about it, the problem is that I don't like the way she looks at me like she's going to eat me alive, duh! Do you get what I mean?"
