Better Late Than Never
Submitted into Co
“Well, she sure is punctual.” he said sarcastically, trying to remain patient. Having finished his third cup of coffee, he looked at his watch. 11:30 am, it showed. He thought of giving her a call, but just as he picked up his phone, there she was at the door, entering the cafe with her frizzy hair covering her eyes. Looking at this, he forgot about the one hour she kept him waiting, and went ahead to help her.
“Here, let me help you with the books.” he offered.
“Thank you so much Peter, and I am so sorry for being late. You have no idea what happened…”
“It’s okay Brianna,” Peter interrupted her in the middle. “First settle down, then talk. Here, I’ll order you a cup of coffee, so that you can calm yourself,” Peter said while walking towards the table with the books.
“Yeah sure, I can go for some,” she stopped when she saw three empty cups of coffee on the table and realised that it was very late. “I am so sorry Peter. What can I say? I got out of my house on time, but then my friend needed a quick favour. She asked me if I could deliver these books on her behalf, and as the address was on my route, I agreed. But the person had changed his address, so I asked around for his new address. One person helped me, but upon reaching his house I discovered a huge lock on his door. Apparently, he went on a trip for three days. Then, I came here as quickly as I could,” Brianna said it all in one breath.
Peter looked at her with a stern expression. Brianna too looked at him, but in confusion. Then, suddenly Peter started laughing.
