Alright, this chapter was waay too long, so I divided it in two. Is that ok? I hope so. I don't have much to say about this one, the seriously cute part is in the next chapter so um... enjoy and please don't forget to review because reviews are love reviews are life.
Oh, and I forgot to say, there was this super terrifying hail storm here in Brighton the other day and that's what inspired me to write this chapter, so if you liked it, thank the weather. But, seriously, I was scared for my life that day, I hate storms and it looked like my window would shatter at any moment.
Weekends were sacred to Castiel. It meant no school, no putting up with stupid people and no band practises. It was just him, his favourite films, his dog and a pack of cigarettes. Also coffee. He didn't love many things - the ones he did were already listed, he also loved his parents, but he didn't say that out loud - but there was one thing he loved and everybody knew he did, and that was coffee. A day without coffee would not be even slightly bearable.
He had stayed up for at least 6 hours after he arrived from Brighton the previous day. He didn't normally go to the pier, but it didn't mean he didn't like it. Eleanor beating him in the Tin Can Alley, that he didn't quite enjoy. But the rest of the day went by smoothly and Ginger was kind of cool to be around. Kind of.
He woke up at half past eleven that Sunday. Being a productive member of society never really been in Castiel's plans. He needed coffee. Urgently. A day without coffee is a horrible day. He probably shouldn't have broken the coffee maker, now he stopped and thought about it. It was an accident, but now he would have to go to the coffee shop that was two whole blocks away from his house and he would have to talk to people.
Putting his hair up in a ponytail and putting on a Nirvana shirt, Castiel made his way to the kitchen to fill up Demon's food bowl before slipping on a pair of vans sneakers and leaving. Messy hair, band t-shirt, tracksuit bottoms and vans, I'm the epitome of fashion he thought, laughing to himself. He really didn't give a shit. It took him 10 minutes to get to 'Sweet Amoris Coffee and Tea'. The place was basically empty, safe from a twenty-something year old man in the corner talking to a employee.
"Good morning sir" The cashier greeted him happily. She was a 15 year old petite blonde girl, who had big eyes and a big smile. He could tell she was new there, he had never seen her and he went to that coffee shop at least three times a week "Or should I say afternoon? What can I get you today?"
"A large espresso machiato and... I should probably get something to eat now. And later. So two of those blueberry muffins and a BLT"
"Alright, that'll be £5,50" He gave her a £10 bill and waited for the coffee and the food by the counter, when a new customer walked in.
"Good afternoon ma'am! What can I get you today?" Blondie said, still cheerfully. God, her voice was annoying. He needed coffee.
"Um... A white chocolate mocha"
Castiel closed his eyes when he heard the new customers voice. please don't notice please don't notice me. I just want my coffee, I'm not ready to put up with you yet, please don't notice me. Pleas-
"Oh, hi Castiel" Eleanor greeted him with a smile.
Fuck
"What are you doing here?" He snapped. Elanor looked at him with an annoying look and rolled her eyes.
"Oh hi Eleanor, how are you? I'm great Castiel thanks for asking! I just came here to buy a mocha, what about you?"
"Castiel" An employee called. Castiel noticed it was the same one that was flirting with the big guy in the corner when he walked in. He took the coffee and the bag with food from her hands and turned to Eleanor.
"It was really nice talking to you" The dark haired boy said ironically "But now, I've got to go. See you tomo-"
"Eleanor" The employee called and Eleanor smirked, taking the white chocolate mocha.
"I'll walk you home" She said mischievously "That way we can spend more time together" She grabbed Castiel's arm and they walked out of the coffee shop, being met by a heavy rain.
"Fuck, my food is going to get wet!" Castiel whined.
"Don't worry, I have an umbrella. Seems like I will be walking you home after all"
The walk to Castiel's house was silent, but the rain was getting even heavier and both teenagers' trousers and shoes were soaked. When they reached Castiel's house after thinking things couldn't get any worse, it started hailing.
"Shit, come in. You can stay until the rain stops. But only 'till then!" Castiel screamed over the sound of the thunder.
"Thanks" She screamed back, quickly getting inside.
Eleanor looked around his living room, and Castiel suddenly felt embarrassed. She was filthy rich, lived in a mansion, with fancy stuff and a gardener and maids and shit. It was not like he was poor, but he wasn't rich either. His house was like the typical family house you build in The Sims, but the one you build out of the money your family got out of working for a long time. Eleanor's house was the kind you build after using the motherlode cheat seven times.
"So, um... I- I know it's not much but" Castiel started talking but Eleanor was not listening. She was sipping her mocha and sending a text to someone.
"Sorry, I was just telling my mum I'll stay here 'till it stops raining. Are your parents home?"
"No, I live by myself"
"Really? Wow, it must be amazing! No one to give you orders or pick on you- but where do they live?"
"Here. It's just... mum is a flight attendant and dad is a pilot, so they are always travelling" At that moment, Demon entered the living room, barking and jumping at Castiel.
"Oh my God, I forgot you had a dog" Eleanor squealed "He's so cute! What's his name?"
"Demon. And he's not cute. He scares people"
"He's so cute! Who's a good boy? You are! Yes you are! Castiel doesn't give your cuteness nearly enough credit, does he? Does he?"
"Stop making that stupid voice with my dog! He's not a poodle!"
"You are absolut-t-a-ACHOO"
"We should probably take a bath" Castiel said and Eleanor raised an eyebrow at him "Not together! Just-" He went up to the cupboard in the corner and grabbed a towel, throwing it at Eleanor "Upstairs first door to the right. I'll find you some clothes. Now go before you get sick"
"Aw, are you worried about me Cassy?"
"I just don't want you sneezing all the time. Now fucking go already!"
Eleanor chuckled and went upstairs. Castiel watched her go and noticed that her clothes were so soaked they were sticking to her body. Fuck Castiel. What are you thinking about. I mean she doesn't even have any curves! But then he looked again and maybe, just maybe, he saw some. He drank the rest of his coffee and petted Demon's head, grabbing himself a towel and going to the other bathroom to take a long cold shower.
