"I'm not happy on how our relationship is going, Mordecai"
Coffee Shop Diaries
Chapter I
The park seems to be silent at times. Tumbleweeds rolling with the faint wind, the sunlight glaring through the grassy field, while the park workers were sitting in the staircase. Mordecai was busy looking at his phone reading some old messages, Rigby was busy on his handheld game console, Pops is playing with his ball catcher, Muscleman and High Five Ghost listening to tunes through their headphones, and Skips tapping the stairway to boredom.
After a seemingly grueling boredom session, Benson arrived in his car, he seems to be in a hurry as he even hit a nearby trashcan.
"Sorry guys I'm late for our meeting, I'm just busy planning a date with Audrey. Since my date will be tonight, I might not be here to lay out all the work so you should all take the day off" Benson said.
"Whoa, really? Dude we can finally get Strong Johns II!" Rigby excitedly mentioned.
Benson glared at Rigby and Mordecai noticed, shushing Rigby.
"Dude shh, Benson is still speaking" Mordecai told him.
"I will be back here tomorrow and don't mess up while I'm gone, so enjoy your day off." Benson said while he goes back to his car.
Everyone stood up happy since they will be doing anything except work for the day.
"See you later bros, I'll be going to the movies with Starla" Muscleman blurted out while walking.
They all headed into different directions as Mordecai and Rigby were left on the stairway.
"Dude, let's get Strong Johns II now!" Rigby said.
Mordecai isn't all pumped up with the new video game as he still has a bit of sadness about Margaret breaking up with him two weeks ago. All he's thinking now is moving on but only made a little progress, he wanted to clear it up to Margaret but she isn't back in town yet. She went to an unknown place until tomorrow. But it was a better scene for Mordecai as he isn't weeping inside their room listening to a song looping for days anymore.
"Sure, let's get the game" Mordecai said as he stared into the skies.
After picking up the game, they stopped by the coffee shop to get some coffee. They haven't stepped inside the coffee shop the past two weeks. The memories were still clear for Mordecai as they broke up inside the coffee shop. Rigby and Eileen was also there when it happened, but they bailed out as they couldn't cope all the drama that transpired on that day.
They went to their usual spot on the shop, as it is the only vacant table left. Eileen then went out the kitchen and after seeing Mordecai and Rigby, she quickly went to their table.
"Hey guys, haven't seen y'all this past two weeks, what's up?" Eileen greeting the two, as she grabbed a chair to sit with them.
"Well Mordecai is still crying, only stopped to - AWW!" Rigby mockingly told Eileen, while he earned another punch from Mordecai.
"We're on a day off" Mordecai told Eileen.
"Margaret is gone 'til tomorrow, so you're handling all the duties yourself?" Rigby asked Eileen.
"The manager hired someone that would temporarily take Margaret's place in here, she's been here three days ago" Eileen said as she pointed at the counter to nothing.
"Who?" Mordecai asked.
Eileen groaned as she didn't see her at the counter.
"CJ, can you come here for a sec?" Eileen called out their new part-time employee.
CJ quickly arrives to where Eileen is sitting.
"Guys, meet CJ. CJ, meet Mordecai and Rigby"
Eileen introduced both of them to each other.
"Hello Mordecai and Rigby, my name is CJ." She said as she is reaching out her hand for a handshake.
Both Mordecai and Rigby shown some respect by shaking CJ's hand and introduced themselves, but the handshake between Mordecai and CJ lasted longer than Rigby. Both were staring to each other, like they knew each other for a long time.
"Eileen, get us our usual order" Rigby said to break the silence.
"CJ, get me two lattes, I'll get the slices of cake" Eileen said.
"Oh okay, sorry about that" CJ sheepishly said, as she let go of Mordecai's hand.
Both Eileen and CJ rushed to the back to prepare their orders. Mordecai and Rigby were left on the table.
"What was that dude?" Rigby slowly stating each word to Mordecai.
"What do you mean?" Mordecai replied.
"Dude you were handshaking for like 15 seconds!." Rigby said.
"So? it was a friendly gesture." Mordecai said.
To avoid attention from the ladies at the back, he went near Mordecai's ear and whispered,
"Dude, I think you like each other!"
Mordecai quickly punched Rigby.
"AWW, I was just messing with you." Rigby moaned as he massaged the part he was punched on.
"Let's just enjoy this day off dude, It felt like I'm drained for this past two weeks. With all the work and the break up, I should consider this a gift from Benson" Mordecai said.
Their snack arrived and they were enjoying the conversations they were having with Eileen and CJ. During that time Mordecai would sometimes catch CJ staring at him, as she would awkwardly stare away. The duo (Mordecai and Rigby) decided to go back to the park as they planned to play their newly bought game. Before they left, Eileen stopped both of them.
"Hold on guys, CJ wanna tell you something" Eileen said. CJ was visibly shaking Eileen's shoulder.
"What is it CJ?" Both asked her.
"I wanna ask for your phone numbers, since I'm new here" CJ asked them.
"Uhhh-" Mordecai replied as he rubbed the back of his neck.
Mordecai was hesitant to give his phone number, but,
"The first one was Mordecai's, the last one's mine"
Rigby already gave his number.
Sending their farewells to the crew, the duo then went back to the park.
The entire trip was dead silent. No one said a word until they arrived at the house.
"Oh yeauhh, video game time!" Rigby squealed.
"Yeauh!" Mordecai said.
"Strong Johns II! Strong Johns II!" both singing in unison.
While playing the game, Mordecai's phone vibrated. He received a message from an unknown number.
*hello Mordecai, its me, CJ :) *
Mordecai then replied, as he thought that CJ might feel bad if he didn't respond.
* oh hey, sup CJ? *
* doing fine, my shift just ended haha *
While Mordecai was about to reply again, Rigby screamed.
"MORDECAAAI WHY AREN'T YOU MOVINGG!" as he looked to Mordecai.
Upon seeing his friend on his phone, he quickly got Mordecai's controller then paused the game.
"Dude what's wrong with you? We're in the middle of the game and -" Rigby was then interrupted by Mordecai.
"Just a sec, CJ texted me" Mordecai quickly replied.
"Oh now you care, earlier you were - AWW" Rigby didn't finish as he was punched again by Mordecai.
"Dude I gotta show some respect, the girl's new remember?" Mordecai said as he typed away.
"Alright, but let's continue the game" Rigby grumbles as he gets his controller.
Mordecai was about to resume the game when his phone vibrated again. It was CJ.
"Aw c'mon!" Rigby said.
Mordecai then reads the message.
* umm, are you free tomorrow night? Just wanna hang out :) *
* sure I would love to *
He was about to send it but then he remembered that Margaret would be back in town tomorrow. Mordecai was left with puzzled thoughts on whether he'll agree or not.
Will Mordecai say yes?
That's it for the first chapter, sorry it was kinda short (and rushed lol kidding). I will update this soon. Again, hating this is free of charge.
