It Started With a Coffee

You've Made My Day

Chapter 2

Ellie's P.O.V

My day couldn't get any worse. Right? Wrong. I woke late, it was raining and I had to walk here, I forgot my lunch, didn't have time for a coffee and we we're just told that the new Britney Spears CD that was for some reason back ordered to begin with, was going to be late. So I have a room full of upset preteens made at me because the CD's aren't here. To make matters worse, Davis called in sick and Amy was dumber than a stump so I was doing this on my own.

I grabbed my hair in my fists and sighed as my phone vibrated for probably the twentieth time, I didn't have the time to answer it. I didn't have time to breath. "Anyone waiting for the new Britney Spears CD it will be in tomorrow, if you have pre-ordered it we will call you when it comes in!" I said for what felt like the millionth time. I sighed when they finally started to clear out, only to be swamped with a new set of costumers looking for everything from old movies and new video games.

I finally got a chance to sit, with a sigh I looked at the clock; I was just about to say I was going on break when someone slid a CD onto the counter. "Oh for..." A coffee was set down beside me, and then smell was intoxicating. "You look like hell, Red." I snapped my head up at the familiar voice smiling weakly. "It's been a long day." Which should be over but thanks to Davis I was here for at least another two hours. I grabbed the CD looking at it, raising a brow at the fact that he was buying' A Day To Remember' I had mentioned it over lunch a few days ago. "I listened to a few songs and liked it okay?"

I nodded my head and scanned the CD. "$15.00 dollars." He handed me a twenty, leaning on the counter as I got his change. "We still on for movies tonight?" I groaned and palmed my face. "Shit Jay I forgot..." He nodded and pushed the coffee towards me. "Double double and I figured as much so I have the movie, I'll pick you up when you finish." I accepted the coffee with a grateful sigh instantly taking a sip from the hot brew. "So good." Caffeine, I needed it. "I owe you." I said handing him his change. "I finish late tonight so I will text you when I'm done?"

He frowned but nodded, he was lucky he usually only had to work from eleven till three on Saturdays. "What time? You were supposed to be off at six." I nodded, I know I was. "Store closes at eight, so nine?" Clean up and close. "What happened to being finished at six?" I sighed and set my almost finished coffee to the side. "Davis, he called in 'sick' last minute." I shrugged I needed the extra money.

I frowned when a new customer walked in, just once I wish Amy would handle it, but she was a useless twit. "I have someone coming to look at the extra room in the apartment tomorrow...think they'll care if it's spotless?" I had no energy to clean and well with movie night at my place it wasn't going to get any cleaner. "Who the hell cares, if they mind or not." I frowned typical Jay, I liked hanging out with him and we tried to at least once a week since we had coffee that day...so far once a week has turned into every other night.

"I care, I need someone." I couldn't work this much anymore and go to school. He rolled his eyes, his suggestion was I move to a one bedroom, but my landlord was awesome and he didn't care if rent was a few days late as long as he got it. "Nine o'clock, be here." I said ringing up a couple of purchases someone was making. "Yea yeah Red, I will, be prepared to watch all kinds of action packed goodness." I fake groaned. "I am, oh pick up pop corn, I'm out." I watched him walk away waving as he went, CD in his free hand.

Movie Night

I waited outside HMV for Jay my head bent as I finally got a chance to read my texts. I had five from Alex, she was still kinda pissed that I was hanging out with her ex, but well she was dating Paige so we can't all listen to her judge meant now can we...Six from Marco all asking something to do with school...or relationship advice...wrong person to asked there Marco. Three from Jay himself...from before the saving me with coffee, he had texted saying he was bringing me coffee...would have been nice actually having read that earlier.

I didn't get a chance to go through the rest as his familiar orange Honda pulled into view; I slipped my phone back into my bag and then headed over, opening the door and slipping inside. "Hey Stranger." I said as I buckled up, Jay was a crazy driver. "Hey little girl want some candy?" I rolled my eyes. "Is that your new pick up line?" He flipped me the bird as he pulled away from the curb. "Hey now, uncalled for." I said which caused him to smirk as he headed to my lonely apartment.

I yawned and curled up in the seat my head against the window. "Don't you fall asleep, we have three movies to watch tonight Nash and I will not watch them alone." I smirked and closed my eyes. "And none of that 'I'm just resting my eyes shit.'" I couldn't help it I laughed sitting up in my seat. I've noticed since we started hanging out that he had a way with making me laugh, I liked Jay...but that scared me because he had a bad history and I had bad taste in guys...my first boyfriend ended up being gay. My second boyfriend ended up bailing for his parents and seeking out his ex when things got hard.

"Red? Where here." I snapped out my thoughts and looked around, so we were. "Sorry, I was lost in thought." He nodded reached behind him and grabbed a bag. "Movies and the requested popcorn." I nodded and got out, leading the way even though he knew it almost better than me.

End of Ellie's P.O.V

Jay's P.O.V

I watched her walk up the walkway enjoying the easy way her hips moved as she walked. I couldn't believe this I have done some really retarded things in my life but this took the cake, I was crushing on my best friend's girl...I mean I know they aren't together anymore, at least not to her. But I have no idea how Sean felt about her anymore. He had just left her with a mess to clean up and now she was sleep deprived and well sometimes I think she's better at faking things then people give her credit for.

I followed her into the building silently, it brought back memories every time I came here, but really now I could walk in the build and think of myself going to Ellie's not Sean's. I liked watching her move, her red hair was pulled into a messy ponytail and it shined in the light's in the hall. "I hope you're ready for some Fight Club." I heard her laugh at me as she unlocked her apartment. "So ready." She grinned at me as she opened the door for me to go through.

I got lost in her green eyes moment and had to remind myself she was just a friend, just Red and we were watching movies. She yawned and switched on a couple lights. "You know how to set things up, I'll make the popcorn." She grabbed the box of popcorn from me and headed into the kitchen I could still see her so it was nice, I popped the movie in and took a seat on the couch. "Want something to drink, I have some coke..." she said turning with the can in her hand. "Sure."

She brought it over to me, and I smirked to myself when her fingers brushed mine. She blushed and I wondered if she too felt the same tingling sensation move up her arm from where we touched, she pulled her hand away and crossed her arm. "I'll be back, just going to change out of these work clothes." I nodded and stood setting the coke on the coffee table and walking to the bathroom, we closed the doors to each room almost at the same time.

I swear to god or whatever I had just intended to go to the bathroom, wash my hands and then go watch the movie, but I noticed that her toilet paper was low, so I went looking for a new roll...years of Granny Hogart yelling at me about the toilet paper you know? I also put down the seat...I was not snooping until I spotted a black CD case, pulling it out I opened it and was taken aback... I had heard rumours that she cut herself...but I had thought they were just that. I have just been proved wrong here in my hand was a CD case that had been changed into a kit that held everything a cutter might need, razors alcohol swabs, cotton balls and band aids. I closed zipped it closed and then put it back where I had gotten it, leaving the bathroom to sit on the couch.

I waited for a minute before getting up and putting the popcorn into a bowl. "You didn't need to get that, I would have done it." She said smiling at me as she walked into the kitchen, she was wearing a long sleeve shirt...she always wore long sleeves. Which was better than the arm warmers she used to wear. I set the bowl on the table and walked over to her ignoring the frown on her face.

I grabbed her arm and pushed the sleeve up not looking at her but I was looking at the pale flesh of her arm...scar's some thin and white from age and some still tinted pink but there weren't any new ones. "Jay?" there was confusion coloring her voice and I looked up into her arms. "You've stopped right?" I pulled her sleeve down and captured her hand in mine looking at her long fingers, I don't know what the idea of her hurting herself like that bothered me so much. "Yes I've stopped, what's gotten into you?" She asked but she never pulled her hand away from me..."I found your case...I wasn't snooping at first I was looking for the toilet paper."

She didn't yell at me, just sighed pulled away and grabbed the popcorn and her pop. "Are you pissed?" I asked sitting down on the couch, taking up as much room as I could...I was kind of hoping it meant she would have to lean on me. She usually did anyway, I pushed play as she curled up on the couch head on my should popcorn in between us. She yawned but otherwise she was awake...not ten minutes into the movie her phone rang, reaching behind it I answered without looking at the caller idea.

"Sup, Nash residence." I said into the receiver frowning at the last voice I wanted to really hear. "Alex, how nice to talk to you too." I said it sarcastically but Ellie still chuckled and held out her hand for the phone. "Why yes Red is here, and yes she can come to the phone." I handed it to her and made a face at her. Alex and I hadn't ended well...it was still pretty weird knowing she was dating Paige.

I went back to watching the movie as she talked to Alex. "Oh come on, no Alex I really don't care." Ten bucks goes to them talking about me, being a jackass and her needing to stay away from me. "Whatever Alex, I'll talk to you later." I frowned as she hung up the phone and tossed it onto the couch. I didn't asked, instead I just wrapped my arm around her shoulder smiling as she snuggled into my side. I didn't even mind that she fell asleep...hell I fell asleep soon after.

Morning

I sighed and pulled the body next to me closer...wait. Body? I opened my eyes and looked down, there was a cascade of red hair blocking her face but I knew it was Ellie...I had Eleanor Nash sleeping on my chest with her arms around me and mine around her...could it get much better? Yea she could not freak out when she wakes up. I tried to move but she grumbled. "Stop moving I'm sleeping." I smirked and ran my fingers through her hair. "I need coffee and you need to get up...don't you have someone coming to see the extra room?" I asked as she sighed and moved away from me, rubbing sleep from her eyes.

God damn she looked gorgeous. "Yeah..." She looked at me and blushed. "Sorry for falling asleep on you." I shrugged. "I don't mind. " I stood and stretched grabbing my coat. "You're leaving?" She was frowning at me and I couldn't stop myself I leaned forward and pressed my lips to hers. To my surprise she kissed me back her arms going around my neck, slowly deepening the kiss I pulled away when my lungs burned from lack of oxygen. "Coffee I was going to get some coffee." She smiled and nodded. "Okay, but come back...you can help me screen the person coming to see the place."

It was my turn to nod. "I will be back with coffee and donuts." I leaned forward and pressed my lips to hers again, loving that she responded..."Okay I'm going now." Because if I didn't leave no I wasn't going to leave at all. "Who is this potential roommate?" I asked taking her keys with me as I headed t the door. "Some guy named Brett." I frowned I already didn't like him. "I'll be back in ten." I walked out of the apartment already thinking of a way to get rid of Brett, he'd like the room...but she wouldn't need to rent it to a stranger if he moved in...
