His eyebrows furrowed but he stuck out his hand,to shake mine.
"Michael Clifford.Nice to meet you."
I shook his head and then looked at him.He had bright green eyes,his skin almost transparent.He didn't seem to go outside much,which was a trait that we both shared,I suppose.
"Look,can you just pretend we're actually talking about something because um,my friend is looking at us and I don't want her to feel let down with her match-making skills,"I told him.He smiled and nodded,laughing.
"So,August Forest?Were your parents nature enthusiasts?"he asked.I giggled,putting my jumper over my hands.It was necessarily cold,but my hands were always cold.I was always told cold hands,warm heart,but that wasn't always the case.
It was more like cold hands,cold heart,warm....ears?
In response to his question,I tried to come up with a logical answer.My father was called Augustus and my mother was called April.My mother was a florist and loved working with flowers,and well,my father.My father worked in computers.
"Um,not really.Did your parents like fictional red dogs?"I asked and he burst out laughing.I didn't see what was so funny.It was just a question.I used to love Clifford.I had it on DVD,which sounds stupid now,but it was the one thing I could brag about when I was younger.
"No!It's my dad's surname."
I nodded and then I had to ask the dreaded question.
"You're in 5 Seconds Of Summer,or something,right?"
He nodded.He grabbed his coffee from the counter and I was he was wearing a Green Day shirt,which was pretty cool,seeing as I liked Green Day as well.We conversed for a few more minutes until I saw Frankie get up.
"Um,I have to go,but nice talking to you,Mr.Clifford,"I mumbled.He smiled and then reached for something in his backpocket.He pulled out his phone and his eyes flickered up to my face.
"Can,I um,have your number?"he asked.I nodded and he handed me his phone.I entered my phone number under 'forest girl'.I gave him back his phone and he smiled.
"So,um,see you later?"he asked.I nodded and walked away,over to Frankie.She was buzzing.I could almost hear her mind clattering away at what she was thinking.She linked her arm in mine and began to walk quicker than I assumed she could.
"You two are so cute!Okay,I'm planning the wedding,"she said.I shook my head,giggling.
"Frankie,calm the fuck down.I just gave him my number,tha-"
"YOUR BABIES WILL BE SO CUTE OH MY GOD!"
After she exclaimed that,I ran away and dove into her car.I totally regretted all of the previous relationships I had been in,because they all started and ended the same.
Started with embarassment,ended with regret.
