Chapter 5: Boy has got her Helpless

Katie pov

I walked back home that night and found my mother chopping up the vegetables. I was surprised to see her home so early. I took off my coat and headed into the small living room, placing the books on the messy oak table filled with magazines, before heading into the kitchen. I hardly noticed my cheeks were blushing bright red. On my way home, I couldn't stop thinking about him, I was blushing like crazy. I walked in and hug my mother, not knowing I was still blushing. I grab a cutting board and an extra knife, and grab some carrots from the fridge. I took my spot next to her and smiled starting to cut the veggies. I still kept on thinking about him, for some reason this tall handsome boy with his jet black hair is trapped in my brain. But to be honest... I didn't mind it. He was really handsome.

For a moment, I saw myself in a bright green dress in the middle of a dance floor. The castle doors to the ballroom open, and there was Shiro, holding out his hand. I hesitated. He took my hand, and we started to dance around. It was so magical. Back in reality my mom watched me as I dropped my knife, and was staring into space. Mom waved her hands in front of me and waited for me to respond.

After a few minutes, she shook my shoulder and I snapped out of the dream blushing bright red. I didn't realize what was happening. Mom smirked, then hugged me tight and asked me what was I daydreaming about and if it was someone cute and handsome. Not wanting to her know my secret crush, something popped into my head. I told her I found this cute green dress that would look good on me. To be honest, it was a cute dress, but too expensive. My mom giggled and squealed like a schoolgirl who found her first crush. She was happy, asking me how much it costs and making plans. My mom had never been this happy before, so I couldn't really stop her, instead I just told her what store it was.

That night I went upstairs to my room after dinner, it was a small room with a few posters of anime. I brushed my teeth and got into my pj and settled down to watch netflix. I usually watch a couple supernatural episodes before bedtime.. But my stupid mind was still thinking about Shiro. For the first time, I just could not focus on the show or anything other than him. What was going to happen with him next? I fell asleep that night thinking about Shiro's charming smile, and his good looks.

End of pov

The next day Katie showed up bright and early for work, she only had about 20 minutes until they opened. After putting her coat away and getting her apron on, Katie went behind the counter to start making some coffee. After making a pot, she heard the little bell of the door ring, meaning someone has come in. Without looking she carried the pot towards the front and gasped almost dropping the hot coffee.

"Woah, Allura." Katie gasp breathing hard.

" Looks like your mind is somewhere else" Allura grinned.

Katie rolled her eyes and then took a cup and poured it. "Here you go have a nice day" (Sweetheart she needs to pay for that)

Allura grab the cup shaking her head "Not until you tell me about your date"

Katie sighed "Don't you have better things to do?"

Allura shook her head "Nope."

"The weather was cold outside, It started to snow" Katie said wiping the counter a million times.

Allura gave her a look. "Wrong details."

"Fine, we had a good time at the library, okay?" Katie said, a small blush creeping in.

"That's more like it" Allura said, looking at her. "Keep going"

"He was really nice to me, like kind and smart, he also understood everything, which never happened before. There was this song that played, which never happens to me.'' Katie kept going on and on cutting off Allura from saying anything. Allura waited.

"Katie, take a deep breath, Gurrl." Allura said covering Katie's mouth.

Katie removed the hand and looked at her. "What do you mean?"

"You just started to talk about him, and did not stop and take a breath." Allura giggled.

Katie blushed and then looked at Coran who put up the open sign. He paused, and looked at Allura.

"Allura…" Coran said looking at him.

Allura stuck out her tongue and then held up her coffee making Coran leave towards the first customers. Allura giggled and then turned back to Katie, who was blushing.
