Whiskey and Tea
"The Notice "
*Sabryna's PoV*
I am at one of my favorite little cafes, waiting for my friend to arrive. As I take a sip of my hot chocolate I look down at my jacket sleeve and pull the sleeve down as I see that my bandage was peeking out. I hear the bell above the café door ring and look up to see that it is Arthur Kirkland.
*Arthur's PoV*
As I am walking to a café to meet my friend Sabryna, I start thinking about how she is dating that Scottish bloke, Allistor. I don't understand what she sees in him, he doesn't have a job, and he always takes her hard-earned money. And what's worse is that when I met him, when Sabryna left for a moment to go to the restroom, I caught him looking at other women.
I've asked Sabryna about why she stays with him, and all she does is sigh and say "You wouldn't understand Arthur, he's had a rough childhood and Allistor can't help the way he acts." I sigh at the memory and walk into the café, the little bell above the door rings as I open the door. I look around and see Sabryna looking at me, with a smile on her face.
*Sabryna's PoV*
I smile and get up from my seat to go hug Arthur, I wrap my arms around him and sigh. Arthur hugs me back and I release him from the hug, I notice something as I sit down in my seat. "Hey Arthur, are you trying out a new cologne?" Arthur smiles and says, "Yes," as he sits down." Why, are you trying to impress some girl?" Arthur blushes and says "M-maybe, it's none of your business" I hold up my hands in mock surrender." I'm so sorry I asked" I say and smile.
A young waitress with short blonde hair and green hair comes over to our table to take Arthur's order. "Hello there, my name is Bella and I'll be your waitress. So what do you want to drink?" Arthur looks up at Bella and says, "I'll have a cup of earl grey tea." Bella writes the order down and asks. "Is there anything else?" I look up and say," I'll have another hot chocolate." Bella nods and says "I'll be right back with the tea and the hot chocolate." She then winks at Arthur and walks off.
I laugh as soon as Bella leaves and Arthur blushes. "Someone has a crush on you~" I say and giggle. "S-shut up," Arthur whispers. I sigh and nod," So how is your roommate Alfred," I ask Arthur. He sighs and says "He still with his French boyfriend, Francis." "The doctor," I ask and Arthur nods. "Well it's good that Alfred found someone he likes. This is his longest relationship, right?" I say. Arthur nods weakly and says "So how is your boyfriend?"
*Arthur's PoV*
As soon as I asked her about Allistor, Sabryna's face paled and her smile faltered. "Allistor is fine, he went out drinking with his friends last night," She says. The waitress, Bella, comes by and gives us our drinks. "Thank you," I say and take a sip of my tea. The waitress smiles and then leaves us be. Sabryna takes a drink of her hot chocolate and some of her color returns to her face. "Sabryna, you do know if you want to tell me anything you can." I say and put my hand over hers.
Sabryna flinches and pulls her hand back, as she does so I notice a white bandage peeking out of her sleeve. "Sabryna-"I start to say, but I am cut off by Sabryna's phone ringing. Sabryna answers the phone and says "Yes Allistor….Ok...I'm on my way." I notice that she says this in a scared tone. Sabryna hangs up her phone and says, while looking down," I have to go." She pulls out her wallet and places some money on the table, "This should cover the bill. I'm sorry Arthur." Sabryna says and leaves. I sigh and go to pay the bill.
Ok so this is the first chapter of a story I've been working on. I should be able to upload a new chapter everyday but if I skip a day I am sorry.
Oh and if you're wondering who Bella is, she is Belgium.
