Chapter 5 - BPOV
I don't have anywhere to be so I take a seat at the table nearest to the counter.
He fills some of the sprinkle containers as I eat my ice cream.
I watch him and I see him look over at me.
I smile and he smiles back at me.
There's no one else in here.
He walks over to me and looks down at me, "A penny for your thoughts?"
"They're not worth that much," I say with a slight smile.
He sits across from me.
"I'm sure they're worth a lot more than that."
"Not really, just thinking about things," I say taking the last bite of my ice cream.
I know that he saw Mike and I fighting in the hallway. There's no way he could miss it.
"Where are the kids that you come in here with?" he says looking at me.
"Their mom had the day off, so I didn't have to babysit. But I enjoy coming in here so I came myself."
He had a smile on his face as my phone chimed.
I don't even look at it, I know who it is.
"So what was the deal with Newton this afternoon?"
"Nothing, he was just being an ass," I say looking at my hands.
"You deserve someone so much better than him," he whispers as the door chimes.
I sigh, watching as he walks back to the counter to help the person who came in.
Maybe next time?
