Dialogue Prompt #2 "Since my cat likes you then i guess i like you."

Delivery Boy

Eren delivered food for a living. Rather he was a driver, and took orders from customers on a smartphone, and went to fetch their food they ordered from a random restaurant for them.

He wasn't bothered in the slightest by his job, he usually got good ratings from customers. He thanked his speeding skills and his tendency to avoid the traffic cops whilst speeding. Plus, the tips were not all bad. That's saying quite a lot for a delivery boy.

That's what made it good though- what made it great, was the fact that twice in a row he somehow managed to snag orders from a cute small blonde living in the upper east side of Sina City. The first was an order pick up from McDonald's, A cheeseburger, large fries and a diet coke. A driver doesn't usually get the same orders from the same customer, especially when they're so many coming in by the hour. Yet he did.

The second time was an order pick up of two dozen donuts from a Krispy Kreme. He remembered he had laughed as he handed her the boxes,

"Are you throwing a party? I know you're not gonna' eat all these yourself."

And she had stared blankly at him, answering, "Yeah I am."

And then it got awkward because he hadn't meant to sound like a judgmental asshole, he just wanted to joke around to break the ice but failed doing so.

Right now would be the third time he has gotten an order from a certain blonde, and he intended to not screw up.

'Just say, Oh hey, fancy meeting you again! Give her the food, then fuck off.' Eren tapped idly at the steering wheel as he neared a familiar looking neighborhood. He circled around the block twice looking for a parking space.

He found one, somehow managed to fit his trusty BMW into the tight space, set it in park, and grabbed the food that was safely secured by a seat belt in the passenger seat.

'No funny business this time.' Eren was quick to tap a text as he neared that same door announcing her food arrival.

Even so, he rang the doorbell in case the message didn't go through. He ran a hand through his tangled hair, he never gave it much attention, always haphazardly tied it into a bun, but he may start giving it more care… Just because.

The sound of the door unlocking made him stand up straighter, and then he was face to… Well chest to face with the blonde, considering she was a foot shorter than him.

"Your food." He held out the bag. She took it with a small thank you. Simple. That's it. She tipped him extra, and that was another reason why he may have liked coming to her, and then he was ready to go. She was halfway to closing the door when a white splotch darted out of her home.

"Crystal!" The blonde tried to block the little creature with her legs but it jumped over her foot.

Eren looked down as he felt something rub against his ankles. A white fluffy cat was busy leaving it's mark against his dark jeans.

Ah well. Eren smiled at the cat, kneeling to pet it, the cat didn't seem to mind him at all. So weird, he was mostly use to customers' pets barking or hissing at him.

"Sorry about that." The blonde sighed.

"It's fine, she's cute." He scratched at the felines ears, watching her tail swish back and forth as she assessed him.

The cats eyes were a pretty marble blue, much like her owners.

"She likes you." The blonde commented. "Crystal is a stubborn bitch sometimes so I'm surprised."

Eren had to laugh at that. "Maybe I just smell like catnip?"

"Ah, the delivery man brings something for all of us then."

He looked up at the blonde. She was leaning against her door frame, eyeing him with a small smirk on her lips.

He flushed, and chuckled awkwardly. "Yeah."

"Well, since my cat likes you then I guess I like you." The blonde shrugged, as if what she'd said didn't make Eren's green eyes go wide as saucers, a light pink dusting the tan of his cheeks.

And then she added, "'l'll be sure to look your name up more when I'm ordering food."

Eren deflated, "Ah, right. Thanks."

He stood, the cat becoming bored with him as she darted back into the house.

"My name is Eren, by the way." He turned to look at the small blonde.

"I know." A smile played at the corner of her lips. "I'm Annie."

"I know." He laughed.

And then with that the front door clicked shut, and Eren was ready to make his next delivery. With thoughts of marble blue eyes and blonde hair.
