Kissing in the Rain
Chapter 4 Emma's POVI swallowed the lump forming in my throat. I walked over to a seat at the counter. I grabbed a menu and scanned the pages. It may have looked like I was reading it, but my heart was beating to loud for me to focus. I heard foot steps behind me. My heartbeat started racing, My palms were sweating and I nervously wiped them on my jeans. The footsteps stopped and so did my heart. I felt a tap on my shoulder. I took a deep breath and turned around.
"What can I get for you Green Peace?"
Spinner was standing in front me me. I rolled my eyes and gave him an annoyed look.
"You're so out of date." I replied, "Green Peace was so last year."
"Whatever" He pulled out his tab of paper, "So, what are you ordering?"
"Can I have a Vanilla shake?"
"Shake machine's broke"
"Damn, okay can I have a cherry coke then?"
He scribbled my order down and went back to the kitchen. I'm not sure if I was disappointed or relieved. Well atleast I could breathe now. I heard Spinner coming back with the drink. I didn't even bother looking up as he put it down on the table.
"Spinner took his lunch break so I'll be your server today. Is there anything else you'd like to order?"
My heart skipped a beat as I took it in that Eliie was standing right in front of me. She was wearing caki pants and Black T-shirt that read "The Dot". Typical uniform. Her hair was thrown back in a messy bun and she had a piece of hair in her face. I resisted the temptaion to push the piece of hair out of her eyes.
"That sounded rehearsed." I said trying to smile and lighten the mood.
Ellie gave a little smile. " Heh, yeag I need to make some extra cash, so I can't lose this job."
"Oh, are you having trouble paying rent" I asked and immediantly regretted it.
"Oh, um no I'm ont living with Sean anymore, I'm trying to find my own place."
"Oh, I'm sorry"
"Don't worry about it, so is there anything else you'd like to order?"
"No thanks I'm fine."
"Alright I'll bring your check out."
She started to leave but I reached out and grabbed her arm, She winced. I loosened my grip.
"Sorry, I didn't realize I grabbed you that hard."
"You didn't."
"Oh?" Then it hit it me.
"You started again?"
She shifted to her other foot. "Um yeag, I'm going to get your check now this place is getting busy."
Before I could stop myself I asked, " Was it because of what you saw me and Sean doing?"
"I would never um cut over a guy, especially Sean if that's what your asking."
"Oh, um I just wanted to say sorry about well you know."
"Seriously it's fine, things were going downhill anyway. Plus I wasn't in love with him. I'm in love with-" she paused "someone else"
I felt like I had been stabbed all over my bosy with knives. How could I ever think she's ever love me. I was jstu a cause girl who made a few mistakes, a few big mistakes, in the ravine. Now I had to live by those mistakes.
"Oh that's good" I managed to get ouy.
"Um yeah I guess."
Ellie, I know we don't really know each other that well but-"
'A voice from the back yelled "Hey Ellie get back to work and stop chatting!"
"That's my cue to leave, I'll see you around."
She brought my check back and went back to serving other tables. I stood up and wlaked out the door. I had fucked up this time and there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it.
