OH MY GOD, I'M BACK AGAIN
Hello reader(s)! Me me come back with a new chapter! There's no need for a longer introduction, let's get to the action! (I'm still working on the catchphrase sorry lol). Here's the fourth chapter!
Coffee Shop Diaries
Chapter IV
Mordecai didn't give an answer. Instead, he ran out of the room. Closing the door behind, he leaned to it. He felt bad for Margaret since he doesn't want the sight of a lady crying in front of him. He thinks that going back with Margaret might be better but he also thought that his recuperation from the break up would be pointless since he moved on with their relationship. It took him minutes to make a decision.
He then took a deep breath and took all the courage that he can muster to go back in. Opening the door, he saw Margaret sitting on the side of his bed. He slowly approached her while brainstorming in the process. He then tapped Margaret in the shoulder.
"Margaret?" Mordecai whispered.
"Yes Mordecai?" Margaret replied.
Mordecai then sat with her. He again, took a deep breath. He then said all the things that were bugging his mind.
"Uhh, why do you have to do this?, I mean why are you - argh" Mordecai said as he stuttered in every word he blurted out.
Margaret then told her thoughts on him.
"Mordecai, I wasn't happy on our relationship because, I hate seeing you with other people. I want a man to be serious with me" Margaret said.
"W-What do you mean by that?" Mordecai replied.
"I mean, when you're always with Rigby. At first I can understand, but he's always tagged along with you when we're dating" Margaret said.
Mordecai then realized that Margaret was right. A thought crossed on his mind that Rigby has been his friend since they were toddlers. He felt selfishness in Margaret's words, but he let this slip through.
"Look, moving on is a tough thing for me. Not gonna lie, but I wasn't looking forward on going back to you" Mordecai said.
Margaret was stunned after she heard his insights. Her emotions can't be explained. She was questioning herself why he won't rekindle their relationship.
"You aren't yourself, Mordecai" Margaret muttered.
"What do you mean?" Mordecai asked.
"You changed. You don't say these things unless there's someone involved. I knew you since we're in grade school" Margaret replied.
"What? No! I'm not into someone I mean, no one is involved" Mordecai exclaimed.
He was sweating a lot. He wanted to get out the room to escape the situation. Margaret noticed his behavior. She felt his guilt, as this is his usual thing when she's with him.
"Mordecai? Be honest with me. Is there someone else?" Margaret asked.
"There is no one okay! Geez" Mordecai refuted.
"There is someone, I can sense it" Margaret said.
There was no answer from Mordecai. He preferred to just shut up about this.
"Mordecai? I gotta head home now, I guess" Margaret meekly said.
"It's 2am, you can stay here" Mordecai said.
There was an awkward silence. Mordecai then stood up to get his sleeping bag on their closet. He then dropped his sleeping bag on the floor.
"You can sleep in my bed, I'm gonna sleep on the floor" Mordecai said.
"The floors are a bit cold, are you fine with it?" Margaret asked.
"Don't worry 'bout me, I survived a blizzard once haha" Mordecai jokingly said. Margaret chuckled at him.
"I gotta get some sleep, I need to go back to work tomorrow" Margaret said.
"Oh ok. 'night Margaret" Mordecai replied.
"Goodnight too, Mordecai" Margaret said.
The only sound left were the crickets.
The next day
Light tugs awakened Mordecai. He slowly opened his eyes to see Rigby waking him up. Rubbing his eyes, he stood up and looked at his bed. No one was on the bed.
"Did Margaret left already?" Mordecai asked.
"Yeah Margaret left hours ago, she said she didn't wanna disturb your sleep" Rigby said.
Both headed downstairs to take their breakfast. As they ate, Rigby asked what happened last night.
"Yeah we watched the movies, went go-karting -" Mordecai answered.
"No, the one with Margaret" Rigby said.
Mordecai doesn't normally approach Rigby for advice. He just kept his mouth shut on this matter.
"It's nothing" Mordecai said.
The duo then heard faint sounds coming from the living room.
"Hmm, that sounds kinda familiar" Rigby said.
As he turned his head around. Mordecai was already gone from his sight. Mordecai then went to the living room to see his phone slowly moving because of the ringtone it produces. He then opens his phone to see a ton of messages on his inbox. He scrolled through to see some people messaging him. He had few gripes on replying on their messages. One message got his attention. It came from CJ.
* hey, I have a new girl friend we can hang out with! when are you free?
He was doubting on when he can show up. He didn't want to disappoint his new friend. To decide, he looked for Benson to ask him on this matter indirectly.
"Is there any other jobs for later today Benson?" Mordecai asked
"You haven't even started yet and now you're asking for work" Benson said.
"What? We only have one work to do today, right?" Mordecai muttered.
"*sigh Yes you have one job for today and do it by the end of this day otherwise you'll be working on the lawn again!" Benson said.
Benson then walked away. Mordecai was delighted to hear this. He then quickly replied to CJ's message.
* I'm free tonight
As he walked back to their house, a message came. It was from Margaret.
* hey, just messaged you to invite you to hangout with us tonight! wanna come?
He then stopped walking and stood nervously. He was asking himself why did he felt this. He was feeling bad that he might disappoint Margaret. Another thought crossed him that he already agreed on CJ's invitation. He then cleared his mind and replied this.
* sorry Margaret, I may not come. I will be busy later tonight. Maybe next time?
He was feeling weird on turning down Margaret because she never disagreed on his behalf. It took him minutes to get back to himself and walked back to the house.
As he went back, he sat on the sofa and thinking of not going at all. He also wondered who is this "new girl friend" CJ mentioned on her message.
"Dude! Where were you? You should've seen us pranking random park-goers!" Rigby squealed.
"Lemme guess, the bike bait prank?" Mordecai said.
"How did you know?" Rigby asked him.
"I overheard it before I left earlier" Mordecai answered.
"But whatever, you didn't see the action! Muscleman was almost beaten up haha" Rigby said.
As Rigby was talking, Mordecai's phone rang. CJ just messaged him.
* really? cool! my shift ends at six, drop by the coffee shop. I also have something to give you.
Mordecai was feeling a little bit giddy on later tonight so he just obliged.
* yeah sure I'll drop by, later!
"What was that?" Rigby asked.
"Me and CJ are gonna hang out again" Mordecai said.
"What about me?" Rigby said.
"What about that?" Mordecai asked.
"We had plans! After work we were gonna watch Ultimate Private Pirate Deluxe!" Rigby grumbled.
"But we can watch it after we hang out! I'm gonna be earlier than yesterday." Mordecai said.
"Why are you hanging out with CJ anyway? It's not like you like her" Rigby said.
"I don't want her thinking about me negatively. Remember she's new!" Mordecai said.
"Now you're trying to leave a good impression on her? Haaa caught you!" Rigby exclaimed.
Mordecai retreated with a punch.
"AWW!" Rigby groaned.
"We can watch the movie after. Let's just finish our only work for today" Mordecai said.
"*argh Fine" Rigby groaned.
Later that day
Mordecai was prepping for the night. He was kinda excited to see CJ again. Why does he feel this way is still a mystery to him. He just lets this slide and go out the room. Heading downstairs, he received another message.
* my shift is over! seeya!
Mordecai just smiled. He then went out to go to the Coffee Shop.
He arrived at the Coffee Shop fifteen minutes late. CJ was already waiting at the front of the café.
"Oh you're here! You're just "fashionably late" haha" CJ jokingly said.
Mordecai then laughed at her remarks.
"So where's your girl friend?" Mordecai asked.
"She's still inside, she might be on her way out" CJ answered.
After minutes of waiting. Their accomplice finally went out the café.
"Sorry CJ we took long ins - MORDECAI?"
"MARGARET?" Mordecai said.
That's it for this chapter! Sorry if I'm taking a longer time to update this. One reason is that I'm transferring to another college school so I'm busy with the paperworks and stuff. Rest assured this would still be updated so hang on tight lol. Also apologies for my really short chapters.
Yandere oneshots are still coming soon (because I still haven't finished the first story of it yet). As always, hating this and loving this is 101% free and I'll see you on the next chapter!
BYE BYE BYE!
