^love this song^
Dylan and I agreed on going to the cafe down the road, which I have never been to before might I add. The cafe was pretty dainty, chatter of different people filling the environment, the beach by the neighborhood playing in the background.
After we'd got our drinks we made our way to the table.
"So is this going to be like 20 questions or something?" I inquired
"Yeah just ask a question and I'll answer and vice versa." I nod my head ok
"How old are you?" I curiously asked.
"21, you?"
Woah, and one would have thought he's younger.
"I'm 19."
"Which part here are you from?"
"Hey, you already asked one question, and how do you know I'm from america, I could be from Columbia for all you know." My mouth curls up in a smile but it disappears as quick as it came.
He laughed, like really laughed. It was beautiful.
stop it alex
"I somehow really doubt that."
I stare at him, taking in all his features, his perfectly sculptured jaw, his soft pink lips, I wonder how it'll feel if I kiss it.
Stop
His jet black eyes, and oh god, his beautiful curly hair that looks like it was made for me to touch.
"Are you just gonna keep staring or are you going to ask your next question." His smirk present.
I just realized I was flat out staring at him. I blush embarrassed, my face probably looks like the color of a tomato.
"You know you can take a picture if you want. It'll last longer." He leans back on the chair staring at me
Ugh as if
I glare at him
"You're very cocky you know? You're not all that, okay?" A lie. "I wasn't even admiring you or whatever, I was just wondering how someone could have a face so ugly and weird." Another lie.
As much as I'd hate to admit it, he's gorgeous, hot, handsome. Whatever word you can think of. But of course I won't tell him that, won't want to boost his already huge ego.
"Really?" He leans forward. Our face so close that any movement from either of us, we'll be touching.
I clear my throat and move back. "So um, my turn, right. What's your favorite movie?"
"The notebook."
I laughed so loud that the couple in the next Booth started staring at me like I was crazy.
"No fucking way. You're joking right?" I asked still bellowing
He smiles staring at me like I'm a unsolved mystery. I immediately stop laughing.
"I'm not, it's actually a really good movie. I can't even count how many times I've watched it. It's like the best movie ever." He sips some of his coffee.
"Wow, I thought you'd be like a horror/thriller kind of guy. Not romance. That's just quite frankly, unbelievable."
"Yeah well you learn new things everyday." He says
"Yeah I guess." I nod my head agreeing
"So my turn." He grins rubbing his palms together
It goes on that way for hours, we ask each other questions. I got to know a lot about him. He's actually a very cool guy besides his cocky egoistic side... he's okay.
He told me that if it was possible we should hang out again. I wasn't even sure if I wanted to do that but I told him yes anyway.
I was still not over the fact that he leaves next door to me, even if I did want to avoid him that couldn't happen because he literally lives nextdoor.
I hate to say it but I actually really had fun today. Like fun fun, I laughed sincerely for the first time and didn't fake it this time.
My mind couldn't help but drift to why someone like dylan would want to be friends with someone like me, I'm not pretty, I'm not smart or cool. I'm just.... normal. I mean I'm sure lots of girls throw themselves at guy like him, so why me?
"I have to go home, it's getting late." I glance at the window by the Booth we were, it looked gloomy already.
"Sure, no problem... that's fine." He nods
We both stood up at the same time and he chuckles before saying "you first." leading me out of the crampy booth.
We walk out the cafe at the same time.
"It was nice learning something about you." I bring our my hand to shake him
"Likewise princess." He accepts my handshake.
I smile at him one last time before heading out of the cafe.
As i was walking home i started to hum the to song that was previously played in the cafe.
All of a sudden it was as if i felt someone following from behind, you could say i had like a third eye. i see stuff without even seeing it. (A/N this is me lol)
I took a deep breath and turned around and suprise suprise, it was dylan following me. "Why are you following me?" i dim my eyes slightly because of the scorching sun shining brightly.
"We're going in the same direction princess." he says smirking.
i widen my eyes slightly in realization. i forget we live in the same building. i still haven't gotten used to that fact yet.
There was something different about him. but one thing was for sure, i couldn't stay away from him....even if I wanted to.
