Chapter Four
Seriously? Major slip. I bet she daydreams about me. Everything is finally falling into place.
"Wedding?" I asked.
"What? Wedding? I didn't say anything about weddings." She said defensively.
Then the cashier guy looked up and started to speak, "Yes you did. I heard you. Loud and clear." Obviously Mia was pissed off. Why was he talking to us anyway?
"Thanks a lot." She smiled at him sarcastically.
"Your welcome.", he smiled at us, "come back to Starbucks."
Mia looked back, "Oh yes I will." She shot daggers at him.
"Two chocolate chip frappes grande for…no name. Whatever." The barista just left our orders on the waiting area.
We both walked up to get out drinks, not talking, not eye contact or whatsoever. Now, this is what you call really, really, awkward.
"Here.", I got both drinks and handed the other to Mia, I examined the glass. "No name? I always want my name to be on the glasses."
"Yeah. Me too." She immediately looked away.
"Let's go?", I asked sipping on my drink, "Wanted to go for a walk?"
"Uh sure, the park?" she still replied in an uncomfortable way.
"Yeah, of course, wherever you want. We could even walk across the country if you want." I smirked.
She laughed, "I'd gladly…decline." She said still laughing. The awkwardness got washed away.
I placed my arm around her shoulders, "I'd gladly…accept.", I saw from the corner of my eye that she looked at me. And I looked down at her and smile at her. She smiled back.
"Maybe I'd make a few exceptions." She spoke. Then I led her out, and opened the door for her, like the gentleman I am, "Thanks Joe." And then I slid my arm around her again.
"You're welcome."
Shortest chapter. Maybe, my mind isn't overflowing with ideas now. So, next chapter will be longer. =)) Review!
