Days turned to weeks. Lucy was mostly in the apartment relaxing and trying to cope with the fact that Emmet was with someone else. With someone who didn't seem to treat him like he deserved. She did walk outside a few times just to get some air and let her mind wander off somewhere else. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. One of these days she decided to do something that she hadn't done in a long time. Get coffee at the local coffee shop. She turned around a street corner and walked down to the small shop. It was almost empty, that wasn't really expected. The shop used to be full of people. Then she remembered, ah. It's 1:34 pm on a Tuesday. No one was out this time to get coffee, just lunch. She walked up to the counter.
-Hi Larry. One cappuccino with extra cream.
-Coming right up. Larry answered with the most unenthusiastic voice ever. He made her coffee and placed it on the desk.
-That'll be 2,4 dollar.
-Really? She was surprised. Weren't the coffee here always overpriced?
-No. People started to complain so we changed the prices.
-Okay. That works too I guess. She took out her credit card, payed and walked out from the store with the warm drink in her hand. She started to walk back to the apartment.
She had been walking for some time and she was completely lost in her thoughts. And of course she had to walk into something. She walked right into someone and she flew backwards a few steps, she even dropped her coffee. A small anger was bubbling up inside her. Who was it supposed to be this time?! She looked up at the persons face, ready to apologize and or give them a lecture about watching where they were walking. And she looked up.
It was like her mind stopped. Her heart started to race.
-Emmet? Was the only thing she could get out.
-Sorry Lucy. It wasn't the intention to walk into you, sorry again. He said to her calmly.
-No it's alright. I got lost in my thoughts. Lucy said back.
-Well I got to go now. Emmet said to her quickly. It was nice talking to ya! Bye! He waved to her as he walked away. Lucy didn't know how to react. She just waved back.
-Bye. After a few minutes she snapped back into reality. She picked up the coffee cup from the ground and threw it into the trash. She looked down at her shoes. They were drowned in coffee. She continued to walk home. She thought of Emmet again. As if he wasn't already on her mind 24/7. But this time were different. She thought that something was off about this looks, but she couldn't really put her finger on it.
-It was probably nothing. She thought to herself. His hair was probably a bit more fluffy and not brushed. But that would be off. Emmet always comb his hair, no matter what day it was. And once again she was standing in front of the apartment building. And walked in.
*A different part of town in a small house*
A door opened. Emmet walked in.
-Hi sweetie! He looked around.
-Hi Emmet! Ailya said back from the living room. He walked into the room and sat down beside her.
-How has your day been? He asked her.
-Why do you ask? She answered back. Is it just so that you can gloat that your day was better than mine? That you are having more fun than me?!
-No, no! I just wanted to know because I care about you.
-Then why do you ask about my day?! If you cared then you would leave me alone! She screamed at him.
-Okay I won't do that then if you don't want me to. He said to her calmly, like he had never even reacted to the outrage that Ailya had a few seconds ago.
-I brought coffee! He looked at her and gave her a mug of black coffee. She just looked at it and then at him.
-T..thanks. She tried to give him a smile, but failed.
-You are welcome! Emmet gave her a big smile. They just sat together and drank their coffee, after a few minutes Ailya broke the silence.
-Can you go start with the food Emmet? I'm starving.
-Okay. He nodded, stood up and walked towards the kitchen. As soon as he walked into the kitchen she took his cup and looked into it. And as she predicted there was coffee left, a lot of coffee. She took the mug and walked into another room as silently as possible so that Emmet wouldn't hear.
About half an hour went and Emmet was finished with the food. Roasted chicken with potatoes and gravy. She walked into the kitchen and saw that dinner was ready. She held the mugs of coffee in her hands, she placed them on the desk and walked over to the table and sat down. They both started to eat. A few minutes passed, and the food was almost eaten.
-You seem angry today. What is it? Emmet asked her.
-I had a confrontation with a person a few weeks ago and I haven't gotten over how rude she was.
-Who was it?
-It was a girl, a bit shorter than me, she had dark skin, was wearing a hoodie with some weird stuff on it that was blue and pink and her hair was black with a blue and pink stripe in it.
-Oh I think I know who that is.
-You do?! She looked up at him.
-It's my ex girlfriend Lucy.
-She is your ex? She raised an eyebrow.
-Yeah.
-You didn't deserve someone that rude. I bet that she has already found someone else to be mean to.
-I don't think that she had, and she is not a mean person. And last time I saw her she didn't really look that happy.
-When did you see her last time? She asked with an angry undertone.
-Today was the last time I saw her. I walked into her outside of the coffee shop when I walked home.
-Did you talk to her?
-I said that I was sorry, that was all.
-Okay first don't ever talk to her again, and second do you regret leaving her for me?
-No not at all!
-I thought that. She walked over to the desk. Let's have a small toast for our love! She handed him his mug. He took the mug and both of them raised the mugs into the air and shouted: For our love! Emmet started to drink it and she started as well but made sure that she watched him the entire time, a small grin spread across her face. Knowing that her plan still was in motion.
