Wraith (BEING REWRITTEN)

Chapter Twelve

-5 days later-

Our families went back to California and it has been 5 days since Greyson and I kissed, twice.

I don't know why I've been thinking about him so much but I can't stop. He lives rent free in my head. I'm never like this with guys, yeah I find them attractive but this is totally different.

It's crazy I know, I've only known him for a little less than a month. I need to stop, he probably just finds me attractive and will move on to some other girl soon.

My shift at work was going by painfully slow, the cafe was really busy today. It's about four more hours until I can go home. Four more hours of thinking about a guy I'd never have a chance with.

I had just put an order in for a customer when I heard the bell ring. I looked up to see Jace walking over to me. Shit, why is he here?! My mom said he was coming in a week!

I quickly grabbed my notepad and walked over to Greyson's table. He had come in about 5 minutes ago with Nico. I tried to avoid going over to them for as long as possible but now I kind of have to.

"What can I get you?" I asked as calmly as I could. Trying to keep my hands from shaking.

"My usual," Greyson said. I nodded and turned to Nico.

"I'll just have water and bruschetta," he said. I nodded and wrote it down.

"V, can we talk, please," Jace asked as he walked up to me and grabbed my arm. I pulled away and glanced over at Greyson and Nico.

"I'm working," I mumbled, trying to walk past him. He stepped in front of me.

"Just listen to me please," he said, trying to reach out to me. I heard someone stand up behind me and glanced back to see Greyson standing. The hell?

"Look, I don't want to talk to you, I left your ass back in the u.s., you should've stayed there," I said, becoming annoyed.

"Baby please-" he pleaded.

"I'm not your baby, now either order some food or get the hell out." I snapped. He looked at me shocked but turned to leave. I let out a deep breath and continued walking into the back of the cafe to put the order in.

"Who the hell was that kid?" A deep voice questioned from behind me.

"I don't want to talk about it." I mumbled. Greyson approached me and grabbed my arm.

"Who is he?" He asked again, looking down at me.

"My ex boyfriend who apparently thinks stalking me halfway across the world is ok," I mumbled. Greyson tilted his head to the side.

"What did he do?" He asked darkly.

"What?" I asked in confusion.

"You were scared, you flinched back when he reached for you," he pointed out, "so what did he do?"

"Nothing you need to worry about," I muttered and tore my arm from his grasp. I walked back out to the front to take care of more customers.

I looked around and saw Jace was back, sitting at a table right next to the front door. I can't deal with this right now.

"Rosa, puoi prendere il tavolo due per favore?" (Rosa, can you get table two please?) I hollered at my coworker.

"Sì," (yes.) She responded before grabbing her notepad and walking over to Jace's table.

"Grazie," (Thank you.) I said and walked behind the counter. I started wiping the counter down and cleaned up the area and then headed to clean empty tables.
