Chocolate
Amanda's P.O.V
I can't believe I'm sat here waiting to talk with Collin. This was serious and all he wanted to do was stuff his face with food. I mean he was the one who wanted to work this out between us and he's more occupied on what to have burger or pie. I watched as he talked to Emily, she kept on glancing over to me with a wry smile and waved. I waved back out of politeness and sighed slouching even more in my chair. What would we really be talking about? I mean neither of us had asked the other out? We hadn't really done a lot with each other… I mean I actually barely know Collin. I know hardly anything except he likes to eat, works at Wal mart, has a motorbike and skates into roads with out looking.
"All done I ordered you a shake as well." He grinned as he sat opposite me. We were in the middle of the diner. Amy and I would come her often, it was a nice place to eat and Emily was lovely. I would say I know her more that Collin in some ways.
"What flavour?"
"Chocolate…. You seem like a chocolate kinda girl." He winked at me. For a moment my heart stopped but then I realised he was just being his arrogant self.
"Oh really and why would you think that?" His once smirking face seemed suddenly very shocked by my question.
"Well…umm…you see. Well."
"Well?"
"All girls like chocolate."
"So your stereo typing then."
"No not like that." Oh it was quite funny making him all flustered, never seen this guy seem so awkward.
"Then like what Collin?"
"Well it just seems that girls like chocolate is all I just went by my mom. She's obsessed with the stuff, goes mental with a whiff. If you want me to change it then I will." He started to get up but I started laughing stopping him. He seemed rather stunned by it looking at me with wide brown eyes, much like the colour of chocolate.
"Collin chocolate is fine I was playing with you."
"Playing with me ha…I knew that." He settled back down and it went quiet. The only noise came from the other customers sat talking quietly or the noise of their cutlery hitting their plates whilst they ate. "So…" Collin coughed. "Did you get the cd?"
"Umm yeah I did." I looked at my lap. I listened to that Cd all the time. Infact I had now put the songs on my ipod as it's the only way I get to hear your voice.
"Did you like it?" I could tell there was hope in his voice and I wasn't going to deny it.
"Yeah I did a lot."
"So you didn't get back to me... why?"
"It's not easy Collin. I barely know you."
"Yeah and that's why people become friends to get to know each other." Okay another valid point from Collin. I was about to reply when a girl with black hair and a blue fringe came over with a tray of food.
"Couldn't decide on what to eat again Collin." She grinned. I kind of remembered her, did she go to our school last year? Was she a Collin conquest?
"You know me Sky hard to choose." He grinned at her. "Hat boy working?" Hat boy?
"Yes your brother is working?" What Alex? Brady? See all these questions I hardly know anything about Collin.
"He works too hard, he's got work tonight Sam told me to remind him."
"Will do. So here is one chocolate shake." Sky smiled and handed it other to me.
"How did you know it was mine?"
"Collin, drinking chocolate. He hates chocolate he's more of a strawberry kind of guy." She knows more about him than I do.
"Umm not being rude but how do you know Collin?"
"Why so interested Amanda?" He grinned.
"I just am." I frowned kicking his shin under the table making him wince.
"Oh you have nothing to worry about. I'm going out with his twin Brady. Sure you seen us all around the school we were a year older than you." Oh so she was with Brady. Thought I recognised her. Brady and her were such a cute couple, holding hands round school, playing in that band together. Amy would sit on her table with the guys some days, yeah I was a little jealous but she always told me I was her friend.
"I'm not worried."
"Yeah you are. You thought I had been with her didn't you?" Collin had hit the nail on the head and it annoyed me so I kicked him again. "Ow will you stop doing that!"
"Will you stop being so annoying!"
"I am not annoying."
"Yes you are you…arrogant pig."
"I'm no pig. I'm a wolf."
"Why because you wolf food down like nothing?" Yes I had noted he had eaten that pie in at least three gulps whilst Sky and I had been talking. As we argued Sky stood there giggling at us.
"Oh you two…you are so well suited."
"What's that mean?"
"You'll see." She smiled placing down the rest of our order. "Enjoy your meal." And like that she was off to serve another table.
"Stupid girl." Collin glared at her back.
"Hey I liked her." I stuck up. I reckon Sky was a very nice girl even if she had just confused me a little.
"You don't know her like I do."
"Well still that was a bit rude." He turned to me a fry sticking out of his mouth. "You gonna eat that?" He gave me a confused look.
"Do...do you want it?"
"I have my own Collin it's just it's hanging out your mouth. You look a bit stupid." I grinned. He was kind of funny I guess. He chewed it up fast and cleared his throat.
"Sorry for like everything….calling Sky stupid, being an ass to you and being an embarrassment."
"Wait your not an embarrassment, in fact I find you rather funny." I wanted to reach out and take his hand. How could he think he was an embarrassment? Has he seen himself lately he is one of the hottest people I know. Whoa did I just say Collin was hot? Well I guess he is.
"Really?"
"Yeah in an arrogant, cute way." He scrunched up his nose.
"Cute is such an insulting word to a man."
"Well live with it." I took a sip of the shake and saw he was watching my every movement. I know most normal, sane people would get creeped out by this but I didn't instead I found it comforting. Like he was watching over me. "So we going to talk?"
"We are talking."
"You know what I mean Collin."
"Look if we are friends we can talk all the time."
"But I don't know anything about you." Why couldn't he get that?
"Fine… ask away." I can ask him anything… anything.
"Favourite band."
"Escape the fate."
"Favourite colour"
"Steely blue." Hmm same kind of colour as my eyes, wonder if that's why? Nah, that's just deluding myself.
"Favourite…" I looked around the room trying to find something. "umm…chair." He let out a low chuckle.
"You had the chance to ask me anything and you ask my favourite kind of chair."
"It's all I can think of under pressure."
"Look just give me your cell." I looked at him a little confused and handed it other. He took it with a smile and started typing something in. Was he giving me his number? As he handed it back he answered my question. "I like a chair with four legs and to a cushion to protect my amazing ass."
"You are vain."
"No… I'm amazing. Now you can ask me any question whenever you want. I will answer as soon as I can." He smiled. Just as I was about to reply my mothers voice shrilled through the diner. Uh oh.
"Amanda! What are you doing here?" She spotted Collin. "Your with that boy. Get home young lady this instant. Consider your self grounded for another week." Why did she always have to blow things out of proportion? How was I supposed to have a life if she kept on ruining it.
"Mom I'm merely talking to Collin."
"I don't care what you are doing. GET HOME NOW!" Collin stood up at her raised voice looking as if he was about to attack.
"Excuse me but Mrs Davidson, you are creating an un-necessary scene. I'm sure Amanda is big enough to decide who she talks to." Collin be quiet you will make it worse.
"Excuse me."
"I think you heard me." He stood next to me and glared her down. Mom did not seem at all pleased.
"Amanda. Car, now!" I silently nodded and whispered a good bye to Collin, not able to look him in the face as I left him to my mothers words. I heard the shouting start as the door dinged behind me. Why did my mother have to ruin everything?
Authors Note: So another chapter up within two days. This may be all you get for the next week I'm afraid. So just stick with me if you have stuck to the story so far okay. There's only so much one college student can do at a time. It's a hard life I'm telling ya.
