I made some mistakes while writing, so yeah.. I hope you understand what I've written. :/
In the next day, after the work, I went to the Coffee Shop. Eileen showed up and she smiled at me.
"Hey CJ!" She said, happily.
"Hi."
I hugged her.
"Can I have some coffee please?" I asked.
"Sure."
She put some coffee in a cup. She gave it to me, and I sat on a chair, while drinking the coffee.
"How are you doing?" She asked.
"Fine. I'm feeling a lot better."
"Really? Even after that whole thing?" She asked, surprised.
"Yeah..."
I got closer to her. I looked around to see if anyone else was in the Coffee Shop.
"I want to tell you a secret.. Please don't tell anyone about this." I whispered.
"Don't worry. I always keep secrets."
I smiled.
"Okay, so... do you remember.. Thomas?" I asked, whispering.
"Thomas?"
"Thomas... The goat.."
"Oh... that Thomas. The one that was a russian spy, right?" She asked.
"Yeah. So... did Rigby say that Thomas would never come back?"
"He told me that. Why?"
"So yeah, Eileen... Thomas is not gone. I found him at the street a few days ago. I was alone... crying because of Mordecai. Thomas found me and we talked for a while. And since that day, I've been hanging out with him recently."
"You and Thomas... Wow. I never thought that you guys would ever... be friends. I mean, Thomas never talked to you when he was at the Park, right?"
"He saw me sometimes when I was looking for Mordecai. But we never used to talk." I said.
"Oh, I see."
"And well... I'm... trying to get over Mordecai."
"Seriously?" Eileen asked, surprised. "I thought you guys loved each other."
"Yeah... I loved him. But now... After what happened with him and Margaret... I doubt that he truly loves me." I said.
I think Eileen was surprised because I wasn't really upset about Mordecai and I almost breaking up.
"And.. you're just going to.. get over him? After everything you guys passed through?"
"I guess." I said.
"But.. Well, I know it's your decision. I shouldn't force you to date Mordecai. It's just... he only made one mistake, and you already want to get over him."
"Well... It's not the first time that he hurts me." I admitted.
Eileen looked at me, even more surprised.
"Really?" She asked, curiously.
"Yeah... I mean, Mordecai invited both Margaret and I to see a movie with him, when he was just my friend, and when Margaret was still working here. I had a crush on him, but he broke my heart because he loved Margaret.." I sighed. "At Christmas, he broke my heart again. Why? Because of Margaret, of course. Mordecai loves her more than he loves me. He keeps saying that he doesn't have feelings for Margaret anymore, but I know that he's lying."
"I think he got over her.." Eileen said.
"I disagree. He broke my heart twice because of Margaret. He would hurt me again. I know that he loves her. I just know that. A part of him still have feelings for Margaret."
Eileen got silent.
"What are you going to do, then? Aren't you going to talk to him?" She asked, after a while.
"I don't know. I might try to talk to him soon... But not now."
"You need to talk to him.. He's pretty regretful for hurting you."
"I just need more time to think.." I said.
We got quiet. Eileen looked away, still surprised that I was trying to get over Mordecai. I kept drinking my coffee.
"Well, uh.." Eileen said. "At least you're happy with Thomas, right?"
"He's only my friend, though.." I said, blushing a bit. I hope she didn't notice.
"I'm glad you're happy. I'm just... kind of surprised that you don't have feelings for Mordecai anymore." She said.
"Yeah, I understand.. Well, I... I have to go. I want to meet Thomas later."
"Okay. Have fun."
"Thanks." I smiled. "Oh remember...Don't tell anyone what I've said."
"You can trust me." She said, smiling back.
I finished the coffee and I paid it. I left the Coffee Shop, while I looked at Eileen, smiling. Then, I texted Thomas:
"Hey, want to do something with me? :-) "
He answered:
"Sure. What do you want to do?"
"Want to visit me? I think there might have some good movies in TV. And today is Friday. I can be awake for a long time." I texted.
"Sure. I'll be there soon. :-) "
I got into my car and I drove home. I turned on the TV and I started watching Futurama for a while. After a while, someone knocked my door. I opened it.
"Hey Thomas." I said, smiling.
"Hi."
He sat on the sofa and I closed the door.
"How was your conversation with Eileen?" He asked.
"It was.. good."
I was afraid of telling Thomas that I told Eileen that he wasn't gone... I promised him that I wouldn't tell anyone. It's just that Eileen is a good friend of mine. I trust her.
"Is The Avengers on TV?" He asked.
"Oh, I don't know."
We took a look at all of the channels. It took a long time to find it. Fortunately, we found out that it was starting in a few minutes.
"Want some popcorn?" I asked.
"Sure."
I went to the kitchen, and I made some popcorn. When it was ready, I also got some soda, and I gave it to Thomas.
I sat on the sofa and we shared the popcorn. Then, the movie started.
At the middle of the movie, both Thomas and I tried to get some popcorn. But then, instead of getting popcorn, he found my hand and we ended up holding each other's hands. I blushed a little, and Thomas looked away.
"Eh... I'm sorry.." He said, nervously.
"It's okay."
I tried to smile at him, embarassed. I grabbed some popcorn and ate it while watching the movie, trying to not look at Thomas. We were watching it again, not talking to each other until the end.
Well, the movie was awesome - not as awesome as Guardians of the Galaxy, in my opinion.
When it was over, he said:
"What did you think?"
"It was awesome. But I still think that Guardians of the Galaxy is better."
"Yeah, I agree." He said.
I took a look at the other channels. We watched the old Spongebob ( I'm really old to watch it, but I can't just stop watching. Well, I only watch the older episodes. The new ones... no way ). Thomas and I laughed at Patrick.
Then we watched some cartoons like The Simpsons and Bob's Burgers. I noticed that it was getting late. I didn't care, since it was Friday.
We ordered pizza, and we ate it while watching the Kill Bill movie ( it's pretty violent, but I just love that movie. )
Finally, at midnight, Thomas said:
"I should go now."
"No, pleaaaase."
"I'm feeling sleepy..." He said, tired.
"What if we went to the cinena tomorrow? A new movie will premiere."
"Sorry, I've got to do some... personal stuff. I promise we will hang out on Monday."
"Oh, okay. I just remembered that I have to do some stuff related to work.."
Thomas stood up.
"See you on Monday." He smiled, trying to not close his eyes.
I stood up too, and I opened the door for him.
"Bye Thomas." I said, smiling.
He walked away, and I closed the door. I looked at him by the window. I remembered when we held hands accidentally.. I started blushing again.
I turned off the TV, and I went to bed, because I was really tired too...
