Im in love with a hobbit

Chapter 1

God here I go again with another insane job. I should have listened to my mom when she told me to stick with working at the café with Oliver. Here I am in my yellow jeep driving back to my college at 7am on a Sunday morning when I should be sleeping or studying for my Anatomy exam. But me being me I couldn't turn down the chance to work at a theater. I found a parking spot quite easily right next to the door thank god cuz those boxes in the back are killer. I quickly got out of my car and propped the door open so it would be easier to get in. I grabbed the biggest box and began unloading the car. After about 20minutes of going back and forth with boxes and sweating a lot I had one left. The heaviest one… This will be fun… I lifted with all my might and started making my way when I tripped on the curb and dropped the box. I caught myself scraping my knee and hands in the process when I heard a load yelp of pain. I looked up through teary eyes to see a boy with dark curly hair bouncing up and down holding his foot dropping fbombs every other word. I shot up and ran to him.

"Oh my did I drop the box on your foot? Im so sorry" I was blushing a deep scarlet and tried to help him but he pushed my hands away and he didn't even look at me

"Fuck ya…. What the hell dude" he roared in pain. I was taken aback by the harshness of his word but I still felt bad for dropping the box on his foot but now I was mad for him being so rude. My face began to turn red for a whole nother reason and it was anger this time "Well Im sorry" I yelled "But theres no need to act a like an immature brat!" I stomped my foot and stormed inside leaving him in pain with a horrified look on his face. I walked/ran with tears in my eyes looking for Joey. I spotted him talking to a very tall and handsome looking guy with big muscles… and he was wearing a dress. I pushed that thought to the back of my mind and stormed up to Joey and tugged on the arm of his shirt. He turned around and his crooked smile quickly faded

"Carter whats the matter" He swiped his finger under both my eyes taking the tears away.

"Your friends are mean," I said in a small voice as he pulled me into a hug.

"Who? My friends aren't mean… well not normaly" he looked down at me stroking my hair.

"The one with the glasses and the dark curly hair" I pouted barrieing my head in his chest.

"Oh Darren." The man in the dress said with a big smirk.

"Darren? Why would Darren be mean hes like the nicest guy I know" I sarted playing with my hands and looked up a Joey threw my lashes.

"I sorta dropped a box on his foot" I whispered barley audible. A big grin spread across his face

"That's just Darren he over react sometimes hes going to feel really bad trust me" He smirked releasing me from the hug and pushing me in the direction of this so called Darren.

"Hey" Darren looked down at his feet and then up at me "I… I um. Im really sorry for flipping out" he swolloed nervously and I just gave him a deadpanned look and walked away. I was in no mood for an apology, especially from someone who can't control their temper. Not that I can but-

"Hey wait" I heard someone yell I turned to see the curly headed boy run threw the door towards my car. I rolled my eyes and sighed as I picked up all the stuff that fell out of the box. "Hey… Im really sorry" he frowned and started to help clean up the mess. "I know I came off as an ass but it did hurt." He handed me a rubber chicken. "And I know its no excuse but… I am sorry and I hope you can forgive me... soo…... ya" I looked at him and gave him a deadpanned look.

"Whatever" I mumbled not making eye contact trying to ignore him.

"Im Darren. Darren Criss it's nice to meet you." He gave me a charming smile and helped my to my feet. I bent down to pick up the box but he quickly beat me to it. "I think I'll carry this" I rolled my eyes annoyed and followed him inside.

"Hey you tow make nice" Joey strode up to us with a big smile.

"Ya we're the best of friends now" Darren said with a big smile knocking our shoulders together. I crossed my arms and pouted earning a frown from Darren. "Well I guess not" he put the box down on the stage and gave me a timid look.

"Look…. I have no idea what your name is" his tense shoulders relaxed. "But that's beside the point." He took in a big breath and looked into my eyes with hard look. "Im trying to apologize and its really not cool of you to keep ignoring me and treating me like Im an awful person" He said this with so much venom I was surprised I wasn't poisoned. I turned but he was already in front of me "I get I was rude but why are you acting like a baby?" his tone was mocking and harsh. I was now staring at my shoes fighting tears. I can't cry that just shows how weak I am but I couldn't help letting the tears slide down my face. "Oh god I didn't mean to make your cry" Darren tried pulling me into a hug but I shoved him back and threw my arms around Joeys neck and hugged him trying to fight back my sobs. His arms wrapped around my waist and he led me away and back to my car. He didn't say a word he just put me into the passenger seat and took my keys. I was rubbing my tear-swollen eyes as we pulled out of the parking lot.

"Where are we going?" I whispered looking out the window.

"To the café" Joey let out a big sigh, "Whats with you… that's so not like you to not forgive someone and it's really not like you to cry. Your you for crying out load your tough and you don't cry something's up and I need to know now!" his hand rested on my knee giving it a comforting squeeze.

"I don't know. I guess the whole dad thing is getting to me" I let my mind drift back to two weekends ago.

"Carter you cant let him get to you" Joey stopped at a red light a turned to me. "Hes.. Well the way he is and you just need to except that." He brushed the hair out of my face.

"Ya.. I guess your right." I finally let myself smile "Can we get something to drink then head back to the theater?

"Sure" Joey gave me his famous crocked smile

"And Joey"

"Ya?"

"The lights green" at that moment the car behind us beeped

"Shit" he mumbled turning on the quaint street where Belles Café stood. We got out and headed to our normal seats at the bar.

"Aye kid" I heard Oliver say.

"Hey Olly" I gave him the best smile

"What's the matter?" Oliver cupped my face in his hands to look me in the eye

"Joeys friends are mean …and things are getting to me" He kissed my forehead and tucked the loose hair behind my ear

"I'll get you guys you're usual." He walked away and I couldn't help but smile.

"You like him" Joey nudged my arm earning a glare from me.

"I do not he's just Oliver"

"You like him I think it's the accent" he smiled

"Hes my best friend shut up Joey" I laughed pushing him. Oliver came back with Joey's coffee and my hot chocolate.

"Here ya go" He paused and looked at me glaring at Joey "And Carter stop being so miffed all the time"

"Haha your hilarious" Oliver smirked and Joey was rolling his eyes

"I'll stop by later. I got a couple more tables" he walked around the bar and kissed the top of my head. Joey and chatted about nothing really the weather, sports, music, dragons, and me forgiving Darren. After we were finished Joey paid and I left the tip. Of course I left a very generous tip cuz well this was Oliver's station and I couldn't not give him a good tip.

"I'll see you tonight" I heard him call as we were leaving "Aye Carter" I turned to look at him "And thank for the tip love" he winked at me and I blushed ever so slightly.
