00:00so I'm forced to put up with this nasty man touching me all because my mother
00:05wants to get her hands on his money my name is Grace and this is my love story
00:13did I tell you he owns a chain of fast food restaurants the wife of such an
00:21intelligent and handsome man could get anything she wants
00:32I won't marry him and I don't need his money Jesus mom he's growing me in front
00:40of you get used to it a woman is supposed to please a man who's going to pay her
00:50bills
00:52come on
00:58look Ben isn't Gracie a wonderful housekeeper
01:02oh don't worry baby daddy won't hurt you
01:20apologize to Ben immediately or do I have to remind you of your manners
01:27where are you going come back
01:30as I walked down the street I couldn't hold back the tears
01:38only one thought was spinning in my head if my own mother doesn't love me then who
01:45could ever love me at all
01:50although maybe filthy Ben is right and decent men wouldn't fall in love with
01:54someone like me
01:56who needs a grey mouth without a penny in her pocket
02:00the only thing that could make me feel better was hot coffee
02:04but my wish came too sooner than I expected

04:25deliver food after work myself
04:27stop talking about it
04:29excuse me
04:33regular people don't brag about doing good deeds
04:36you're not one of those lying social workers are you?
04:39the ones who like to talk about helping the homeless people but
04:42never do anything
04:44because they're just lazy bureaucrats
04:46whose only goal is to tax the rich and
04:48use it
04:49to lie in their pockets
04:52nasty crowd of people
04:53I
04:54I don't think that
04:55all of the social workers are like this
04:58some of them are really caring too

05:04and I'll buy a cup of coffee
05:06oh
05:14I'm sorry

05:29I wonder
05:31when you bring out food for Fred
05:33do you ever ask him where he had spent his Christmas?
05:36under the bridge or in the park?
05:38or
05:39maybe you care about his very conveyance?
05:41or
05:42his daughter who kicked him out of the house?
05:45feeding these guys is great
05:47but
05:48it doesn't give you
05:49the right to act as Mother Teresa
05:51and belittle social workers
05:53there's some coffee
05:54oh
05:55thank you
05:56thank you
05:57okay so have a good day
05:58yeah you too
05:59bye
06:00bye
06:01not even the terrible cold outside could cool me off
06:05my ears were still ringing from two hours of my mother screaming
06:08and on the top of that the coffee guy insults me
06:10see you tomorrow
06:11good luck
06:12yeah
06:13good luck
06:14good luck
06:15bye
06:16and then
06:17I saw him again
06:18I knew where to find you
06:19hey
06:20hey
06:21wait a minute
06:22I think I was too harsh on you today
06:24you think?
06:25we can feed the homeless in our café for Christmas
06:51we had a kitchen
06:52and an ornament
06:53and there is a plenty of hot tea too.
06:56Maybe we can even make a malt wine
06:59or whatever they drink for Christmas.
07:03And then what?
07:05The restaurant owner come down the chimney and kick us out?
07:09He won't.
07:13So, do you agree?
07:16I had a weird feeling about this stranger.
07:19It was as if I couldn't say no to him.
07:26Like it happens with the people you love.
07:34Okay, but we're gonna need lots of food.
07:40And closing the cafe tonight and the kitchen is all yours.
07:45So, let's exchange contacts, shall we?
07:50I'll be waiting for you at eight at the back door.
08:01Hey, get your hands off of her.
08:03She's engaged to a millionaire.
08:04Mom, what are you doing here?
08:07Who is this?
08:09This is the barista from the cafe next door.
08:12His name is...
08:15Jesus!
08:17You've been making out in the middle of the street
08:19with a complete stranger.
08:21What if Ben finds out?
08:23Have you even thought about that?
08:25I don't care about Ben.
08:27This peasant will try to kiss you
08:29at the first chance he gets.
08:33Well, Grace,
08:35I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night.
08:37He was full of secrets
08:49and I knew I had to see him the next day
08:52at any cost.
08:56The next day,
08:57at 8 o'clock sharp,
08:59I was standing at the back entrance
09:01of the coffee shop.
09:02I even had to fake a call from my boss
09:05to escape from my mom.
09:17I didn't think you'd be able to make it.
09:21You scared me.
09:22I was stunned when I walked into the kitchen.
09:37I bought the best products for baking.
09:40There is Italian flora
09:41and Mexican vanilla.
09:43And...
09:44there is even
09:46cardamon and saffron.
09:48And I hope you need them
09:49because I've been running all over town
09:51to find them.
09:53I could feel that
09:54while I was unpacking the groceries,
09:57he was always watching me.
09:59Of course,
10:00I pretended not to notice.
10:03Okay.
10:04So,
10:05I think we will have to set up
10:07all the cooking process.
10:10Uh...
10:11I don't think so.
10:17The thing is,
10:18I don't know how to cook.
10:22Well,
10:23no, mister.
10:24I think that I will have to
10:26teach you everything.
10:29And then,
10:30I was unstoppable.
10:32Controlling his hands,
10:33I showed him how to
10:35thin the butter,
10:36knead the dough,
10:37and whip the frosting.
10:40Either he was a bad student,
10:42or I just wanted to
10:44keep touching him.
10:45But by the end,
10:47we were standing
10:48very close.
10:50And then,
10:51what's,
10:53what's your name after all?
10:56It doesn't matter.
11:00Then,
11:01what does?
11:03It's how a cookie's on fire.
11:15Damn.
11:21Three days in a row
11:22we met in that kitchen.
11:25I felt like I had
11:26known him forever,
11:28even though he never
11:29said a word about himself.
11:31For the first time
11:35in my life,
11:36I had a man around me
11:38who didn't treat me
11:40like a thing
11:40he could do anything with.
11:46But then,
11:49what the hell?
12:09I don't like being kissed
12:10without my concern.
12:11It's just a kiss.
12:13If it's just a kiss for you,
12:15you're just a creep to me.
12:16You're just another guy
12:17who thinks that he can get
12:18whatever he wants
12:19without my concern.
12:20I'm not that kind of girl.
12:22Or what do you think?
12:23I've fallen in love with you?
12:27How could I?
12:28I even don't know your name.
12:32Wait a minute.
12:33Grace,
12:33it's a Christmas soon.
12:34You have to...
12:35I don't have to do anything.
12:40And then,
12:41there were three days
12:42of calls,
12:44messages,
12:45and flowers.
12:47I don't know how
12:48he got my address,
12:50phone number.
12:55What are these?
12:56More flowers
12:57from your homeless guys?
12:58Did they
13:04rob a flower shop?
13:08I was still angry
13:10at the stranger,
13:11but it wasn't even
13:12about the kiss.
13:14It was that he thought
13:15he could get close to me
13:17without opening
13:18the door.
13:19I don't know how
13:20I'm going to get
13:21the door.
13:21I don't know how
13:22I'm going to get
13:22the door.
13:23I don't know how
13:24I'm going to get
13:24the door.
13:25I don't know how
13:26I'm going to get
13:28either.
