A/N: I need a beta reader or two. PM to me for any mistakes. I'm also not perfect at dialogue. Thanks. Feel free to post links to fan art about this fan fiction or the movie that this is based on. Might mention something not appropriate for a kid, not very graphic though.
Chapter 2: Blind Date
It was 3:15pm. I entered Snarlbucks, a black-woolen ram sipped on some coffee. He looked gloom. He has the same light skin tone as me, not chubby at all, looks kinda… Oh my god that damn girl was right. He has a grey shirt with a picture of a gun that said 'Gun don't kill, mammals do', and dark blue jeans. 'OMG, he so sexy!' I thought. I turn on some music to drown out the distracting voices. He heard my mixtape, and perked up. He had a small smile.
I ordered some ice tea. The cashier gave me the stink eye for ordering something for under $10. I sat down in front of him. Then the ram broke the silence. "Hello," he greeted. "Like your music."
"Thanks, I like rock," I said. Recognizing his complement. He started to look dazed a bit with a his mouth open. "Hello. Hello. Hello!"
He snapped out of it. "Oh. Sorry, I never dated anyone else since her."
"Her?"
His face turned grim with a mix of anger. "I don't want to talk that." Trying to evade talking what I'm assuming was his ex. " I'm Levi Levi lll"
I tried to comprehend his name. I couldn't. Is his family crack addicts? No one knows.
"It's family tradition to name their first son 'Levi," Levi said.
"Oh. Interesting… My name is Charlotte Matilda Ramsey."
"Beautiful name." He sipped from his cup.
"Thanks," I said feeling flattered.
"Where do you work?"
That voice spoke. "He's one of them. Don't trust him."
I started to get anxious. "I need to go in the bathroom," I quavered in anxiety. He nodded before taking another sip of coffee.
I darted towards the women's bathroom after grabbing my phone while playing my music. I raced towards the the sink for bunnies. I turned on cold water, and splashed it onto my face several times to calm down. The first it was freezing, but then gradually got less cold each splash of water. My body was trembling. I tried to decide to follow the voices orders and be safe, or resume the date and risk my safety. I dried my face off with a paper towel, and headed out of the bathroom with my phone on hand. I sat on the chair in front of Levi. "I work in a gas station stocking items and as a clerk", I said answering his question. I sipped some tea.
"Cash register at Wool-Mart. The one where tone deaf teenagers sing over the intercom," he said with a nonchalant voice. Hey, Stacy does that.
I genuinely laughed hard, "Do they actually do that?"
"Yep."
"Oh my god", I said.
"You have a weird sense of humor, girl," he said with intrigue. I changed the subjects "Where did you work before that?" I asked. My tea just died. Expected it to be sweet and fizzy like Diet Coke.
"Went into the army." He showed a picture of him in a army uniform carrying his military duffle bag happy to be home. "Went out a Private First Class." He put it back into his wallet.
"Very honorable."
"I guess." Levi drank the last sip of coffee. "That went down fast."
"I have a Diet Coke addiction," I admitted. Feeling guilty-pleasures.
"That's possible." He asked another question, "Besides rock, what is your most and least favorite music?"
"Metal, don't like rap however."
His phone buzzed several times. "Oh shit. My drunk friends need a ride from the bar. Um… Here is my phone number." He hand a slip of paper that reads '637-368-3836' and 'Call me'. " It a date next week?"
"Sure…"
"Call and text, okay?" He picked up his empty cup.
"Okay…"
"Bye!"
"Bye." Levi threw away his cup. He went out the door, and went into his blue mid-2000s truck before driving off.
After he left, I went into my car, started it, and drove back home.
I finally got home. Turned on the radio. I called Stacy about the date. "Hello," I said.
"Heyo, how's the date?" Stacy exclaimed with excitement.
"Cut short. Carpooled his drunk friends home. But I got his phone number."
"That's great! You attracted to him?"
"No, but he's sexy." I heard someone on the line.
"Gotta go, bye!" She hung up before I said goodbye. I relaxed on my couch. I turned on the T.V. and turned off the radio. Watching T.V.
