I choked on the pancake that's inside my mouth the moment that I spotted that hair.
"Hey, are you okay?" Angela pushed the glass of water my way at the same time glancing at the direction that I was looking at a while ago. "Is there something wrong?" I immediately shook my head to indicate that nothing's wrong as I finished calming myself up. I glanced at the direction once again and I ended up looking at empty space. Where'd she go? I didn't hear the door open nor the staff saying goodbye. Oh great, one second you freaked out when you see her and the next you're looking for her. Are you even sure that was her? It was only her hair that you saw anyway. Wait a second..the girl was kind of..tall. That couldn't be her. Sigh. ..What is wrong with you, Bella?!
"Bella, Bella! Isabella Swan!" I snapped out of my inner talking, blinking my eyes at the sight of Angela's hand waving in front of my face and started snapping her fingers.
"Okay! Sorry.." I sighed and started slicing a part of my food.
"You really zoned out there. Like really really zoned out. Don't tell me you're just okay." Angela pushed.
"I am. Just remembered something and thought of some..stuff." I nodded at her and sure she wasn't convinced but I really don't know how to break it up to her, to anyone. What should I say, hey I bumped into a girl last night and ever since I've been fantasizing her and I'm not even sure of my sexuality!
"I'm just going to..go to the..washroom. Excuse me." After muttering those words, I moved out of my seat and started walking towards the washroom which is across the room. As I passed near the cashier, one of the staff, who I assumed was the one talking to the girl earlier arrived.
"Uhm, excuse me, the girl earlier who was..sta..here. Do you mind if I ask how tall she was?" Gosh, I'm such a creeper, think for an alibi. "I just wanted to ask because I saw her..pants and was planning to buy one for my friend over there." I gestured at Angela who was focused on eating and checking her phone, Twitter probably. "And I wanted to see if it would fit for her since she's kind of..tall." What am I doing explaining it to the staff?
"Oh. Uhm, " She glanced back at Angela. "If I remember correctly, she's as tall as your friend." She smiled at me and I nodded with a small smile. It's definitely not her then. Sigh. Maybe she really was just passing by around the area.
"Thanks..I'll look for those pants." With that I turned around and continued walking to the wash room. As soon as I got in, I locked the door and faced the mirror above the lavatory. Shaking my head, I turned the faucet on and let the water run on my hands before lifting it up to my face to cool myself down.
I am definitely losing myself here. What is with her that makes me…question myself? I raised my gaze to the mirror and watched the droplets of water fall off my face.
After what seems like forever, 5 minutes really, I patted my face with my handkerchief to dry myself off a little and got out of the washroom. I'm sure Angela would question why I wet my face or tease me about swimming in the lavatory or something of the same context.
Oh, Angie, if you only know what's going through my mind. I sighed as I started walking back to my table.
"One strawberry milkshake with extra whipped cream on top, please?"
That voice. I cannot be mistaken this time. I may have pulled my eyes out as I stare at the ground and slowed my walking the moment that I heard her voice. Her voice.
"For take out, thank you." Destiny or fate or whatever might be messing with me now.
I finally lifted my gaze and there she is, that girl. Can this day get any better?
I noticed Angela in the background and she was busy enough to notice that I was walking my way back.
I moved my attention to the girl in the counter. Well, apparently someone else noticed me. She looked at me and somehow there's a hesitation in her eyes. It's like she remembers me. Oh shit, she might have remembered me! I threw her a small shy smile as I walked in her direction, given that my table is way over on the other side.
She smiled back. Not the same flashy smile she gave me back at the Fort's but it was still ..heart-melting. I gave a short nod and started another staring contest with the floor as I walked back.
"Here's you're order, ma'am. Please come again." The man behind the counter said as he passed her the drink.
"Thank you!" I heard her say it brightly just as I reached my table. I glanced back casually as I took my seat and all I heard was the door closing.
"Are you okay, Bella?" Angela chuckled and I managed a nod, this time with a brighter smile.
"Okay, I can see that washing your face made your day brighter." She chuckled once more and thankfully went back to eating her food.
I smiled secretly to myself and glanced back at the counter, remembering her eyes and her smile, which made me blush as I think about it.
First the Friday, now the Saturday. I am so looking forward to working after finishing my food. And I have yet to thank her one day for making my days brighter. I sure hope I'll have a chance to have that one day.
A/N: Sorry for the very short chapter but at least I kind of updated two chapters to make it up for my laziness. Hihi ^^ I pictured it funnier in my mind though when she thought it was her but then the first girl was taller. :) Anyway, I'll think of ways to make this fic a little bit longer and interesting. No promises. :)
