Summary: They met at a coffee shop for the first time. And it seems like there is always coffee whenever their paths cross.
Disclaimer: None of the characters are mine. Only the story belongs to me.

A/N: What started as a way to distract Linda from her studies became a collection of the drabbles about her and Kamenashi. The real reason why these drabbles were written was because me and carnationangel are such good sisters.

I.
Drained after all her exams, Linda wanted to relax and take a break. Walking into her favorite coffee shop, she noted that the place is unusually packed.

'I guess everyone needs a break,' she thought as she lined up to order.

With drink in hand, she was lucky enough to spot the table a couple just vacated and rushes to sit down. Taking out her book, she went to read while sipping her drink.

She was pulled out from the fictional world when someone spoke to her.

"Ano~ Everywhere else is full. Can I share a table with you?" a male voice asked.

Wide-eyes and tongue-tied, she managed to nod in assent. The guy smiled at her and sat in front of her.

"Oh, where are my manners," he said in accented English while rubbing his palms on his jeans. He held out his hand and said, "Hi, I'm Kamenashi Kazuya."

II.
Linda stared at the offered hand in front of her, her heart hammering in her chest. Of course she already know who the guy in front of her is and it's taking a lot of restraint to keep herself from jumping him or screaming like a crazed fangirl that she is. She definitely wouldn't want to scare him away. Keeping her composure in check, she shook his hand briefly but firmly, introducing herself.

"Is it good?" he asked.

"What?" she said unsure of what he was asking.

"The book you're reading. Is it good? I don't really read English titles but the cover looks interesting," he explained while peering at the book she was reading.

"Yeah, it is," she replied and offered him the book to look at it.

They were talking about books, or more specifically, Linda suggested some good books to read, when suddenly Linda's phone rang. It was her brother reminding her about dinner. She checked her watch and it's already 5:30. Her brother is picking her up at seven.

With much disappointment, she turned to the man in front of her. "Sorry, but I'm meeting my brother for dinner. It was a pleasure talking to you and I hope you enjoy your vacation," she said.

"I had a great time talking to you too. I hope to see you again before I leave in a few days," he said lifting up his cup in salute as she gather her things. She left the coffee shop hoping that wasn't the last time to see him.

III.
Right arm heavy with shopping bags while the left shoulder holds her bag, Linda dropped by a coffee shop to get an ice-blended coffee to-go.

She was a few paces away from her apartment building, rummaging for her keys, when she bumped into someone. Looking up in shock to say sorry, she found out that half of her drinks is now part of the man's shirt, who turned out to be Kamenashi.

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry," she apologized.

"It's all right. It's just a shirt but..." He looked down and sighed. He'd have to go back to his hotel and change.

She hesitated but thought it's just being polite. It was her fault his shirt was ruined after all.

"My apartment is nearby, I can lend you one of my brother's shirt if you want to change," she offered.

He thought about it and realized it will save him time to just change here than go back to the hotel.

"Lead the way."

Rubby, her puppy, greeted them as soon as the door opened and for a while her visitor got distracted by the dog. Putting her bags down, she went into the room her brother uses when he comes to visit and take a shirt.

"Bathroom's down the hall," she said handing him the shirt. He thanked her and went to change. "I guess he doesn't remember me at all," she thought with disappointment.

Cleaned and changed, Kamenashi thanked her, pet her dog and was about to walk out the door. He turned to her and said, "We did see each other again, ne? Too bad I'm going back to Japan tomorrow."
