Here it is!
The first game was that evening. Bliss sat inside of some random coffee shop, literally twirling her thumbs.
She checked her phone three times. He was late.
"One of those, please." A deep voice said.
Bliss turned quickly. Oliver was here.
She quickly threw her green bag onto her shoulder and quickly walked into the bathroom, head down, while Oliver was still paying.
"Okay, what should I do? What should I do?" She asked herself, slamming the bathroom door.
"What do I do?" A voice asked on the other side of the door. "Do I tell her I love her now? Or do I lure her in with a conversation?"
Bliss's eyes widened as she jumped up from her spot on the toilet. Ear pressed to the door, she listened.
"I'm so confused." The voice went on. "What do I do?"
Bliss whipped the door open. "Oliver?" She asked.
Instead, the face of a blonde boy who seemed two years older than her, maybe twenty-one. He turned to look at Bliss and his eyes widened.
"I'm so sorry...were you listening?" He asked.
"Yeah, I just thought you were...someone else." Bliss said, pushing her hair awkwardly behind her ears.
"It's just that I'm trying to propose to my girlfriend and there's some questions I have to ask myself." He said, looking at the floor, the storage closet, at Bliss again.
She looked out, toward the tables. There was Oliver, eating some kind of chocolate cake.
"Hey, this sounds so stupid, but if I pay you twenty dollars, would you be me boyfriend for, like, ten seconds? Is your girlfriend here?"
"No, not yet. She lives an hour away. Okay..." The guy nodded and took her hand. They walked out of the coffee shop, talking as if that's what they had been doing all along.
Oliver looked up. His eyes widened as he watched the two exit the coffee shop. He tore this cake wrapper in half and jumped up, turning sharply on one boot's heel.
Bliss couldn't help but look over her shoulder until the bells rang and she realized she was outside.
"See ya. By the way, I'm Kip." He said.
The two shook hands as Bliss left to be on her way to her first roller derby game.
