Chap 2 ~ "U-uhm I'm G-Gabriella, but you can call me anything you like"

I sighed for the millionth time today! It was finally Friday and 1pm was looming. As I made a coffee for the customer I pondered about who this Mr Bieber was, what if he was strict? What if i get more flustered and end up crashing his car, what if he doesn't like me? What if he was a 50 year old man? What if he was ugly?

"How can he not like you Gabi? You're beautiful, clever and so talented" My best friend and co worker Jennifer said as she gazed out the window where her crush was sitting with her girlfriend.

"I've been worrying all week, like my school work has flopped too because of my thoughts"

"That's because you're overthinking, you always do this!"

I sighed as I poured a vanilla latte for the customer, glancing at the clock to see the time and how long I have got left. Approximately 2 hours till my shift ended and I was on my way to hell.

"Stop it Gabi! You'll be fine, go take a break or better yet just go home and relax I'll cover for you"

I wiped clean the tables and placed the dishes and cups into the sink ready to be washed. I said bye to Jennifer as I walked out the door. I sighed deeply as I walked up the long 15 minute walk back home. 

I liked walking, it helped my anxiety and depression and took my mind off of things. I took the shortcut through the small forest where people took their dogs for walks in the early morning. I lived in a small village in the countryside Canada that had about 2000 people residing in it.  It was mostly filled with older people and people who have retired early and want a break.

As soon as I got to my house I jumped straight into the bath to try and calm my nerves. I added in a bath bomb that I got from Lush Cosmetics. It was a unicorn one that was meant to relax and calm your anxiety with all the sparkly colours and glitter. 

No-one was home which meant as soon as I got out of the shower I didn't have to worry about anyone seeing me butt naked because I had forgotten to bring my towel with me. Plus I am an only child so no-one will tattle on me either. 

My mum works at a fashion office where she designs upcoming latest fashion for women and men. My dad also works in fashion but he's a photographer for celebrities, he gets to meet all sorts of cool people. Sometimes he brings home some signed goodies with him for me to keep, one time I got a whole signed album from Drake and Chris Brown!  My parents were kinda rich so they go away for business meetings quite often.

Which was a good thing because I get to spend time alone with my puppy; Bubblegum. My puppy was a baby Yorkie and she was the most adorable thing ever. 

I looked at the clock to see that it was 12:45 which meant I had 15 minutes until Mr Bieber arrived at my house to give me my first driving lesson. 

I went downstairs to get a snack, I picked up a cereal bar and a banana. I threw them into my bag along with a green smoothie from the fridge. I sat down on the sofa stroking Cinnamon and playing fetch with Bubblegum.

Suddenly my phone vibrated in my pocket scaring the life out of me. I looked at it to see a message from a number I didn't recognise. It read..

xxx-xxx-xxx

I'm waiting outside Sweetheart, are you ready?

I sighed as I got up and put my shoes on. My heart was pounding behind my ribcage. My hands were sweaty and clammy. My hands were shaking as i attempted to unlock the front door. My phone started to ring which startled me, i looked at the caller ID to see it was Mr Bieber again he's probably getting impatient. 

"Hey are you coming or not, it's been 10 minutes?" 

"Y-Yeah, just locking the door"

"Right okay, I'm parked outside the gate"

---x---

I opened the door to his Audi TT, he was sat in the driver's side looking at me with a smile on his face. His smile was breathtakingly beautiful and it met his eyes. He looked me up and down before smiling and starting the car. 

My eyes widened at the sight of him he was the most beautiful human being that I have ever seen. He was wearing a white tight t-shirt that defined his abs, with some grey sweatpants and a cap. He looked so hot.

He chuckled "Are you done drooling kitten?" He asked me as I blushed and looked down at my fingers in my lap.

He pulled out and asked me to write down as many things as I associated with driving and cars. I obviously didn't know much apart from like 10 things. 

"So whats your name kitten?" He asked me while looking ahead at the road.

"U-uhm I'm G-Gabriella, but you can call me anything you like" Oh come on Gabi now is not the time to be flirting. He wont like you!

"Well in that case i'll call you Kitten"

"What are your hobbies?" He asked trying to get to know me I assumed

"U-Uhm just reading"

"Oh? What is your favourite book?" 

"Well currently i'm into 13 minutes by Sarah Pinbourough" She's an amazing author"

"Who's your favourite author?"

"I'd have to say JK Rowling" 

He just chuckled as he cleared his throat.  "So you're into all the mystical magical stuff then?" 

He questioned to which I just nodded with a blush on my cheeks. "Are you studying anything?" He asked

I shook my head replying "N-No I've just graduated from The University of Toronto"

"Oh yeah? What were you studying?" 

"O-Oh uhh Children and Young People's Learning and Development"

"Ah that sounds interesting and like a lot of fun, so do you want to work with children then?"

"Y-Yeah i'm planning on becoming a elementary school teacher"

"That's neat! Well good luck" 

After a few minutes of silence I spoke up "I can o-only think of 10 things Mr Bieber" I stuttered quietly.

"Thats okay Kitten, that's what I'm here for" He winked at me before parking the car at a nearby parking lot.

"So Kitten, tell me the 10 things you know about driving or cars"

"O-Okay well uhm, 

1. The accelerator, 

2. The gear, 

3. The windows, 

4. The reverse function, 

5. The seats

6. The gas thingy

7. This is an Audi TT

8. The brakes

9. The horn

10. The child booster seats

"My, My I do have a rather innocent little Kitten don't I? You do have beautiful handwriting by the way" He said glancing at my sheet and licking his lips while looking at me I just blushed and looked down too intimidated by his intense eye contact.

"Right why don't I give you a little homework for this week, you have to read chapter 1 of this driving book and then next week we will put you behind the wheel and let you get used to the pedals and things...Okay?" 

I looked at him with wide eyes and just nodded my head making him chuckle. "Okay cool, so you hungry Kitten? I'm craving some Taco Bell"

I meekly nodded my head and got myself comfortable, I opened my bottle of green smoothie because I hadn't realised how thirsty I had gotten over this hour. I saw Mr Bieber from the corner of my eye as he smirked at me drinking the smoothie.

"What is that? It looks disgusting Kitten" He made a grimaced face as he drove us to the nearest Taco Bell. 

"O-Oh its just a green smoothie, it's actually really nice and yummy. Want some?" I offered him some but he just shook his head.

"Nu-uh that shit looks like dinosaur pee" 

I laughed out loud at his assumption because it was so strange "D-Do you drink dinosaur pee often?" I asked 

He just chuckled and shook his head, his smile had returned on his face again which was a really lovely sight. He looked 10 times younger when he smiled, although I doubt he's older than 23. 

"Very funny and no I don't Kitten, I just assume dinosaur pee looks like that" 

I giggled again and got more comfortable in his super awesome car. "Whatever you say Mr Bieber" 

"Hey no sassiness Kitten" He pointed his finger at me while driving ahead

I smiled and looked out the window, I wish he was my best friend he's so funny and fun to be around. I'm looking forward to my next lesson next week.
