Ama's P.O.V

It's been a week since I saw Dan, and I'm still an emotional wreck,
How can I miss someone so much? He's just a stranger from a coffee shop.
I guess that's all Dan will ever be, some boy I met once, never to be seen again.

I refuse to return to that Starbucks, I know it will just repress memories of Dan and I'll just get depressed, what am I even on about!? He obviously didn't have feelings for me in anyway, or he'd of asked for my number.

I guess I'll just have to move on...

Dan's P.O.V

I've visited that Starbucks everyday since I met Ama, I guess I'm just desperate she'll be there, waiting.
Who am I kidding? She probably has a boyfriend, and thinks nothing of me but 'that guy from Starbucks who spilled a hot drink over her'.

Phil has come down to Starbucks with me occasionally, mainly just to stop me from buying drinks, going down everyday is costing me a fortune, as I feel to awkward not to buy anything once I'm there.
Maybe I should follow Phil's advice...

Maybe I should move on...

Ama's P.O.V

"You still miss him don't you?" Zoe sighs and I nod,
"Go down to Starbucks, see if he's there!"
I look at Zoe blankly, her suggestion makes no point to me, he won't be there, I know it.

"Come on, I kinda want a drink anyway, and you could do with getting out the apartment" Zoe smiles, I let out a long exaggerated groan before pulling myself of the sofa and following Zoe to the front door.

I amble down to Starbucks as slowly as I possibly can, just to make a point that I really don't want to be outside where it's cold and smells funny, I'd MUCH RATHER be in my comfy bed being depressed where it's warm and smells less like a sewer.

We approach Starbucks and Zoe starts to walk ahead, she was probably getting impatient of my speed,
"If he's not here can we go home?" I ask , and Zoe shakes her head,
"We're going to get a drink then I'm taking you down to Covent Garden, they have a Market down there, and we can get some stuff" Zoe explains, all that exercise!

Zoe opens the door to Starbucks and scans the perimeter, looking for a boy to match the painting.

"THERE!" Zoe shouts excitedly, and points to a boy, slumped over a coffee, stirring it continuously with one of those wooden sticks they supply instead of spoons.
I walk up to this boy, I'm certain it's Dan, I start to get excited and my heart begins to thump in my chest, just like when you run for a long time, but this time it's a good feeling.

"Dan?" I smile, placing my hand on the boys shoulder, he looks up, and instead of Dan looking at me, a GIRL stares back,
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" I squeal, jumping back,
"Did you say Dan?" She asks excitedly, and I slowly nod, slightly confused.

"TIFFANY, THIS GIRL THOUGHT I WAS DAN!" The girl shouts, and everyone in the café turns round to look at us in disgust.
"Oh my goooooddd! YOUR SOOOO LUCKY" 'Tiffany' squealed, flailing her arms about in the air as she trotted over to us,
"I'm sorry, I just thought you were my friend" I try to back away, but the girl wasn't letting me leave.

Zoe came power walking over,
"SORRY WE HAVE TO LEAVE!" Zoe grins, grabbing my arm and whisking me towards the door,
"Not so fast!" Tiffany growls, she grabs Zoe by the scruff of her collar and pins her against the wall,
I can't help but laugh seeing a fully grown adult being pinned against a wall by someone who looks like a 12 year old.

"SAY I LOOK LIKE PHIL!" Tiffany glares, and Zoe looks at her confused,
"I SAID, SAY I LOOK LIKE PHIL!" Tiffany repeats,
"You look like Phil..." Zoe speaks slowly, then I remember, Dan said his flatmate was called Phil.

"Wait? Dan and Phil!? How do you know them?" I ask confused, Tiffany removes her hands from Zoe's collar and makes her way over to me,
"We could ask you the same thing?" She sneers,
"Well, I'm friends with Dan I guess" I reply, and Tiffany's friend's eyes light up,
"I'm Cleopatra, but you can call me Cleo, I'm Dan's girlfriend" The other girl grins,
"And I'm Tiffany, or Tiff if you like, I'm Phil's girlfriend" Tiff adds,
I feel tears build in my eyes, and I see Zoe's face turn a bright shade of red from embarrassment for me.

"That's nice, I'm Phoebe and this is Rachel, we have to leave now, but see you around I guess!" Zoe grins sarcastically before 'accidentally' kicking Tiffany in the leg, before grabbing my arm and hurtling for the door.

"Phoebe and Rachel!? YOU DON'T THINK THEY WILL HAVE SEEN FRIENDS!?" I pant,
"Look, you'll thank me later when they don't return to Dan and tell them about 'Ama' who started to cry when she found out that he was dating another girl" Zoe grins, slowing her pace.

"I didn't cry!" I snap, and Zoe looks at me with the 'you serious' look,
"Fine maybe I cried a little bit, But I honestly really liked Dan" I sniff, and Zoe comes over to comfort me.

I shouldn't of gone....
