Stage 1 of the Plan
Hey guys so I finally did two things find a face claim for Chole and update. The face claim is Emmy Rossum. So go read and enjoy.
I waved to Adien, as he drove off. The grin on my face grew, when he returned my gesture. I continued waving until, I could no longer see his face. Still smiling, I thought about tomorrow. I couldn't wait to see him.
I walked up to my white medium sized house, and made my way up to wide wooden porch. I took out my keys from my bag. I opened the door, shut it, then leaned against it, and then slowly sunk on to the black tile floor. I tried to make the thoughts of the basketball player vanish, but it seemed they were there to stay. I closed my eyes and let out a sigh of content. Yeah I had started to dig my own grave.
"My milkshake brings all the BOYS to the YARD! And they're like, it's better th..." the ringtone brought me out of my daze. I answered the incoming call knowing exactly who it was.
"Hey Jackie," I spoke slowly getting up from my sitting position against the door. I grabbed my bag and walked up the stairs towards my room.
"Chole!!! How did it go? Girl you have to tell me everything!!" Her enthusiasm was very clear.
" Well he is very charming..." I couldn't stop my mind from wandering to the almost kisses we had shared. A blush started to spread on my cheeks. A goofy smile finding its way to my lips.
"Oh I knew he was a nice guy! Friday's date will definitely help me decide. You'll have to go on more dates and eventually start a relationship with him though. Guys are always super nice on the first date, they can always change after that. Blah, Blah...." After awhile I tuned out her excited rambling. My smile was wiped off, and replaced with a scowl.
The plan... This guy would never be mine, and developing feelings will only get me hurt. So what if he was charming, handsome, smelled like a god, or had the greenest eyes I had ever seen! I would not fall for him! Besides once Jackie offered the chance of dating her, he would leave me in the dust. No one would ever choose me over her. It had and would always be that way. Better keep digging that grave. (Note to self must buy better shovel the grave is getting deeper.)
I looked at the clock and cursed. I needed to leave in literally two minutes or I would be late for my job!
"Jackie I have to go! I'll call you back later!" Without waiting for a reply I hung up.
I then quickly changed into my uniform. I put on a white button up blouse, along with black slacks, and black flats, and tied my hair into a high ponytail. I ran to the garage grabbing my red apron on the way. I then looked onto my mode of transportation.
My bike. Yes, I own a bike it's literally the coolest thing ever! Gotta! Now sadly I don't own a motorcycle, however, I do own a mountain bike. I've also had this bike since 6th grade ,and sadly I thought princess pink was cool then. I also thought it was lit to have littlest pet shop decals running down the sides... they are forever stuck. Hate my life.
I jump onto my one of a kind bike and make my way down town. I peddle as fast as I can. Knowing I can not be late, again. I look around me, trying to see any possible houses that could stop me on my way.
In a span of 20 minutes I make it to my destination, Michelle's Express! I've been working at Michelle's since I was a freshman. Michelle's Express is the best coffee shop in town. I'm not being biased when I say that. Over the years Michelle has won many awards for a coffee. Her coffee shop is even listed in BuzzFeed article. I work as a barista here.... I make the coffee.
As I walk into my shift I go to my working space. I start to brew the coffee beans and I get everything ready for my shift. As I'm getting up the cream and the milk I hear a voice behind me.
"Now I'm stating to believe you're stalking me," I turn around to see no other then Adien," if you want to date all you have to do was say so," He said with a confident smirk.
I smile back at him, " If you haven't noticed my name tag. I would say it's
You stalking me."
A good hearty laugh comes out of his mouth. As is laughter calms down he asks," So you work here?"
I gave him a look motioned to my uniform and simply stated," That's why I have a name tag." I giggled in return. Then proceeded to return to my work.
"Aw. I figured it just save time when guys ask for your name."
In shock of the pick up line I dropped a mug. Lucky a basket of rags that I didn't move yesterday saved it from cracking. Got to love procrastination sometimes. Picking up the mug I retorted," Oh yep you got me. Now what can I get you today?"
I continued my work quickly pushing out orders. Which to my luck were mostly espresso. So I didn't have to think to much.
" Well we already discussed how I have you since you fell for me. Having you is all I need..," I snorted at him as he continued," I would however, very much enjoy a iced coffee with cream mixed in."
I grabbed a tall clear glass knowing he would be staying for quite awhile. I moved rapidly and gracefully. My hands knew where and when to move, because of good old muscle memory. In a minute flat I set the drink in front of Adien.
" Here you are sir. Hope you enjoy! If there is anything you need just call. For we at Michelle's Express want customers to feel their best!" I stayed with forced enthusiasm.
"Do you always have to do that?" Adien asked with a grin.
" Yes unless I'm okay with Michelle boiling me alive," I truthfully said.
"Oh you speak as if I'm the devil! We both know I'm anything but," Michelle spoke as she came around from the back. Michelle was of Hispanic origin. Her curly black hair was in a bun while baby hairs framed her face. She had tan skin, dark almost black eyes, and was a curvy woman.
"Who is your friend, you never speak of boys?" She had a devilish grin.
I cursed her in my head. My face became red at question," This is Adien. I wouldn't say he's a friend more of a person and I keep bumping into and I believe he stalking me." At this statement Michelle smacked the back of my head.
" Ah, and you wonder why no boy has dated you! You have a sharp tongue, and would them with it. Tell him your sorry!" Michelle demanded as she walked away to take orders.
" I'm sorry," I stated halfhearted and loud enough for Michelle to hear.
Adien smiled," She seems nice"
I started blending a drink and simply glared at him. This little prick would have Michelle asking questions for weeks. Plus he got me in trouble. I decided to finish my shift and ignore him till he left.
End of shift (0-0)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wiped down the counters inside and decided to finally give in," Why are you still here?"
"Well someone has to drive you home," Adien smiled triumphantly for I finally spoke.
" I have my bike, I'll be fine. Besides with how much coffee if drinking I don't know if I can trust you," he literally ordered 15 ice coffees in one sitting. Still wondering how he hasn't left for the bathroom?!
" It's 9:30 at night. There is now way I'm letting you ride it home!" He distressed.
" Fine, I didn't want to ride it home anyway. You have to promise me something," I pleaded.
"Anything."
As we walked out of the shop that Michelle locked up behind us. I made my way over to the dreaded bike. Why pink, scratch that why littlest pet shop?! Once at the bike rack I picked up my bike. No it doesn't have a lock on it, I've been waiting since my freshman year for someone to steal it, but it's so ugly no one has.
I felt Adien's chest come up my back. He leaned over to inspect the bike I told him not to laugh at.
Silence
More Silence
" Is that a cat with a bow on its ear?" He asked.
" Yes," I mumbled though gritted teeth. I started to roll my bike over to his car. I looked back to see a constipated look on his face. " You okay pal?"
" Yeah.... um ... let me pop the trunk," Every word came out slow and forced.
The trunk popped open as you push the button on his keys. I put my bike in the back as he went to the front of the car . I think close the trunk and make my way to the passenger seat.
He doesn't start the car right away. I look at him The same constipated look plastered on his face. I sit back and face forward.
Silence
" I'm sorry," Adien spoke and regretful tone.
I flipped my body around to face him," You better not!"
"I ... can't I'm ... sorry," little chuckles tried to escape his mouth.
" So help me..." I was interpreted by his roaring laughter, " Adien!!!! " I screamed.
