Date Me
A/N: I've had this idea for a day. I thought I could write it and then boast about having 50 fanfics on my account...SO HERE I GOOOOOOO! ;)
And yes, I should update my other fanfiction..but guess what! I can't because I'm doubling up on school. Yayy! (sarcasm)
Anyway, enjoy~
I've know all along that he was never serious about his relationships. I could tell by looking from afar. It really isn't a surprise that he has broken up with another girl. I sigh, and tap the cup on the table before pouring some warm milk into it and making a curly shape.
"One caramel latte," I say, and hand it to my customer.
"Leaf, are you gonna take a break or not?" Misty calls across the room from where she is cleaning up a spilled coffee.
"In a minute," I respond, before setting my phone down on the counter.
"You really are a dunderhead," Misty grumbles to one of our regulars. He scratches the back of his head, causing his already unruly black hair to stick out even more. I feel my mouth turning up a little, but the feeling suddenly leaves me as a different customer walks in through the door. His hands are in his pockets, a leather jacket is hugging his figure, and two black earrings glint in the low light of the coffee shop. I make a face. It's him.
"Hello, how may I help you?" I say, plastering a blank expression on myself.
"One medium black coffee," he says.
"3.20." I reply with a nod, and he hands me his card. I swipe it quickly before dropping it into his hand. I mix up the ground coffee quickly as I feel a great urge to want him to leave.
"Here," I say, setting it on the counter, and walking away as Misty comes to take my place. I push my bangs to the side, and grab the dinner I had purchased before clocking in, and take it to a table close to the back by the restrooms. Unfortunately, my usual seat is taken and even if I wanted to, I couldn't go to any other place because the building is full. I purse my lips and am about to turn away to head to the break room when I catch his gaze.
He is sipping is coffee quietly by the window, and nods at the chair so slightly I'm almost questioning if I saw it. I pause, and we exchange another look. He sets his coffee on the table, and gives me an intent expression. I glance to the side for a moment before realizing my legs are moving on their own. Sliding into the seat opposite of him, I set my cinnamon roll cupcake down and tap the warm exterior of my coffee cup.
"How have you been?" I ask, smiling slightly. "We haven't talked in a month or so..right?"
He drinks another swallow of coffee and nods. "Yeah."
I feign ignorance. "How is Isabel?"
"We broke up," he says as if it were nothing.
"She really liked you though," I continue. "Why did you date her if you were just going to let her go? You both were very cute together. Everyone thought you were going to be together for a long time."
"No reason," he replies, his response cutting the conversation short. I look away with a silent sigh, still tapping my coffee. Misty luckily saves me from the awkward silence. "Gary!" she says loudly, tossing a rag over her shoulder. "Didn't see you. Why are you here?"
I push my chair out and stand. "Sorry, my break isn't very long and I'm needing to check on something," I say, "excuse me." Misty breaks out into a loud conversation as I hurry away, the feeling of someone staring at me prickling my neck.
Thanks Mist, I say silently. It's already hard enough that Gary is difficult to talk to. I can't ever decide what to say, and since he never shows any interest in talking to me unless we happen to bump into each other, it tends to be even worse. I run a hand through my hair. But that's not even the part that bothers me. Leaning against the wall, I close my eyes.
The problem is, is that I like him.
Yes, short. But I wrote it in like 20 minutes. So shaddup! :P Jk jk. Anyway, I'll write more eventually. However long that is... ;)
