Chapter 6 (Encounter I)
Amy and Jason.
She hummed happily as she wiped down the bar top with a cloth. Everything had been going great. She was going to the college she wanted, she lived in a dorm with a great roommate, a wonderful job, and a car that was languidly lazing in the sun of the parking lot. And for the first time in a long time… someone… a boy… was staring at her.
She was a naturally self-conscious person. After putting up with unsupportive parents for so long, it took a lot just to appear in public. So when she first noticed him watching her last week, she was incredibly shy about it. Her manager though, noticed and made sure Amy was the only one to serve him. The elderly woman liked to think her worker deserved something happy in her life.
She chanced another look up at him and their eyes met. He was over average build, athletic and tanned. He looked like he was very outgoing and independent, things she wasn't. She gave him a tentative smile and ducked into the back room to get his daily order. He always came in at three for a strawberry smoothie, "Deena's" most famed drink. This time, he'd ordered two. They passed each other in buildings and walkways plenty of times that she could always pick out his black head of hair anywhere. She didn't know his name….
But he was really cute…
He watched her go in to the black room where he knew Deena kept the fridge. He grinned. This new blond that Deena had hired was… captivating, quoting one of his guardian's favorite words. She wasn't anything out of the ordinary, besides the fact that she was pale, but he chalked that up to being from a northern state. He was attracted to her as a person, and that she just looked so damn cute, well, that was good too. Unlike other girls he'd dated or known, she wasn't a boasting personality. She didn't blurt out her sex life—if she had one—or her abilities. She was shy, and insecure and that blush was adorable.
She walked out of the back room again, blush still spread over freckled cheeks. She immediately got into concocting the two smoothies he ordered. His buddy had suggested this course of action. Since she was shy, why not take action and approach her first? So. He picked a day she worked alone and ordered two of his regulars. That she was now approaching him with…
Well, now or never.
Amy set the two smoothies down and gave him a smile.
"Here you go." He smiled back. " Thanks."
"Do you want me to save that until your friend shows up? So it doesn't melt?"
"No, actually… I uh, was wondering… um, hoping you'd join me and drink it.." her heart fluttered, and she was sure Blue must have noticed, he had to.
"Me?" he nodded. " Well, yeah, I thought it's be cool to talk to you." He gave her that grin again and she laughed, sitting down across from him.
"You… came here to talk to me?" his grin widened at the positive response.
"Yup! Took me almost three weeks to do it!"
"I don't even know your name." she said through a laugh. He held out his hand.
"Jason Eli Mason, Computer graphics Major and total geek." He said and she smiled, taking the hand.
"Amy… Amy Alexzandra Morgan….English Major… it's a pleasure."
Okay, that was SAPPY as hell and I'm not too happy with it, but I figured I'd post it up anyways to give ya'll a new chapter, for those who are paying attention. Comments and reviews are welcomed, but not mandatory.
