Beware of typos and wrong grammar.
Have a nice day, Earthling :)
I walk aimlessly down the street.
I just wanna see the nearest Moonbucks sign so I could get coffee while I still try to spot Jade.
What am I doing? Is this how desperate I am? Do I really need to find her? What would change if I did find her? Thoughts and questions filled my mind. Again, I was distant, but forcing my self to find her.
Moonbucks.
Finally.
I enter and find the ridiculously long line of people at the cashier. The line doesn't really go this long on normal days. Last time I checked it was just another Wednesday, nothing special. Maybe they're having free cupcakes or something? I didn't know why the queue is that long, but I better line up now.
'THAWNY! IT'S FUCKING JADE WEST! GRAB YOUR PHONE!' A girl screamed from across the coffee shop.
Why the hell is she screaming? Fucking annoy- shit.
Did she say Jade West?
Destiny.
Here it is again. I promised that if I was given another chance, I wouldn't let go of it. I wouldn't let go of the moment. I would use the chance. Unlike before, I wouldn't let this chance, this moment, slip out of my reach.
I waste no time to rush over, but people who were probably fans of her were blocking the way like fences. They blocked every view I could get of her. All I see are shoulders and heads. I try to shift to my left, thinking that I might get a better view of her, but everyone was still blocking and covering my view. The group of people suddenly started moving. Jade is probably exiting the store as everyone moved to the back door. The sound of screaming girls, camera flashes and people shouting Jade's name filled the coffee shop.
'JADE! CAN WE TAKE A PIC FIRST? DON'T GO YET!'
'JADE! JADE!'
The coffee shop turned into an instant market where the products sold are named Jade. Girls, boys, little kids and even adults were shouting for her, hoping to get her attention and to capture a photo with her. I could only imagine how she's feeling right now. She just wanted a cup of coffee, yet people won't let her. Maybe that's the price of being famous.
'EVERYBODY SHUT UP!' She screamed so loud that everyone in the shop froze. 'I AM GONNA GO OUT AND I DON'T WANT ANYBODY FOLLOWING ME.' She quickly exited the shop leaving me there with tons of her fans.
I tried to follow her out, but the people are yet again blocking my way. All of them are trying to get back to the line or trying to go back to their seats, while I was the only one who dared to go after Jade. I bumped into them. I bumped their shoulders, elbows and knees and they bumped onto me too. I've never seen a coffee shop this fillied.
'Watch your fucking way, dude.' A guy told me because I accidentally bumped his hand and his phone fell to the ground.
'Sorry. So sorry.' That was all I said as I still try to fight my way through.
I finally reached the door and exited the shop, all sweaty and worn out. I need to find Jade. I'm sure she hasn't gone that far yet. I hope that she's just somewhere close, like a corner or something. But this is New York. There are fucking tons of corners. I sped up my pace of walking-jogging as my eyes scanned everywhere it can. Still no Jade.
I don't know where I am now, but I just turned right.
I bumped someone.
'Holy shit!' A girl screamed as I feel something hot, almost burning liquid spill all over my hand. I'm guessing that it is coffee, because it smells like coffee. The pain from the heat stung for a second and slowly fade away.
'I...I'm sorry. I really didn't mean it. I was looking for-' As I talked I slowly looked up to see the girl's face and I saw her.
I saw Jade.
I fucking saw her.
'Jade. Jade West...' I was mesmerised. I didn't know what to do, what to say. Thank God I found her. I finally found her. This is the moment, the chance that the big guy from Heaven gave me.
'Congratulations! You know my name, but that doesn't help my condition right now, does it?' She said sarcastically.
'I'm so sorry.' I begin. 'Uhm... Here let me help you.' I offered as I got my handkerchief and wiped off the coffee on her white shirt. Just then did I realise that she way carrying bags of clothes in her other hand. I looked around and I realise that our apartment was close to ehere Jade and I are. 'Look, my apartment is close to where we are now... Maybe you want to come over and clean up and get changed?'
'Ugh! As if I got any other choce.' She said and handed me some of her shopping bags. She groaned and slowly placed her hand on her forehead while closing her eyes.
I can't help but appreciate the beauty standing before me.
...
'So this is my apartment. It's quite small, I know...' I started as I eyed our dining table where all the dishes are just stacked on top of each other. I rushed to get them and placed them on the sink. I covered the other plates with a clothe just to make it less untidy looking. 'I didn't clean up a while ago.' I sad and released an uneasy chuckle.
'Blah blah blah. Whatever. Where is the bathroom?' She said while rolling her eyes.
'Up stairs, turn left.' I said and continued to clean up. 'Want some coffee of something?' She placed some of the bags of clothes on a chair just before the stairs.
'Yeah. Black, two sugars.' Coincidentally, we like our coffee both black with two sugars.
She has a loud attitude, an attitude that she is clearly proud of. She's a tough one. I've never met a girl like her, so strong and intimidating, yet so beautiful, so captivating. She seems dominant and fearless. Just with her words, you could know. No one, not even Andre had talked to me like that. If another person would be talking to me that way, I wouldn't like it, but she's Jade and for some reason, I wanna know more about her.
I successfully cleaned -more like covered- the mess in the kitchen as I begin to make coffee. I prepared two cups of coffee for the both of us. I was mentally thanking her for not wanting milk with her coffee like Andre, because we ran out of milk. I mixed the sugar with the coffee and the smell filled our small apartment.
She walked down with an entirely different set of clothes. Unlike her outfit a while ago which was a white muscle tank with 'The Beatles' printed on and plain black jeans, her outfit now was a long sleeved black fitting top and black and white laced skirt Which has tights underneath. This girl knows how to dress. Her style could earn her a page in our magazine.
'Here's your coffee.' I said as she sat on a chair in front of me.
'Thanks. Your apartment here is actually cozy.' She said.
'You're Jade West, the world know singer, actress and song writer, right?'
'Sure.' She answered.
'So what brings you here?'
'A vacation, duh. Just because I'm famous, doesn't mean I can't get a vacation.'
'I didn't mean it to be like that. But if you are on a vacation, why in the busy streets of New York?' I asked.
'Cause my friends said New York is a nice place to visit.'
'Ohh.' Was the last word in our little conversation. We both took a sip of coffee, trying to vent out the awkwardness in the air.
'So... I better go now.' She talked, still trying to make things less awkward. 'I still need to run some errands.'
I nod. 'Yeah. Sure.'
'Thanks for the coffee and everything...' She said as I lead her out of the apartment, slowly taking small steps.
'Okay.' I said as we stood behind the door. Our faces meet and our eyes locked. I got hypnotised from her blue orbs and she drown into my brown ones. In one swift movement, both of us leaned in and our lips touched. No one knows who started the kiss. No one knows why we kissed, but we both knew that it feels right, it feels okay.
I enjoy her soft lips on mine as I nibbled her lower lips a little bit. Her hands went up to fist my hair as I push her against the wall and my hands cupped her cheeks. But sadly because every human being needs to breath in oxygen in our lungs, we needed to part. I stayed close to her, our eyes still locked until she broke contact.
Everything is awkward again.
'I...I really got to go.' She said while wiping some of her smudged lipstick off her face.
I nod again and opened the door. We gave each other one last smile and she closed the door.
Not even a minute passed, I heard. knock on my door. When I opened it I saw Jade again.
'I forgot my shopping bags inside.' She said shyly.
'I'll go grab it.' I got the bags and gave it to her.
'For some reason, I feel like I've known you for so long.' She said as she gave me one last sweet kiss on the lips. 'Bye.' She left with a smile.
I kissed Jade West.
I kissed her twice. Bet you're jealous.
Let's let that sink in first.
