evermore

4

All her feelings from the past couple weeks came rushing in her  consciousness.  Heartbreak, regret, and most of all anger. She narrowed her eyes at him critically "No forget the tea, I'll take the muffin, keep the tip." she called out to the sales lady. 

"Amelie, it's fine. I've got it". 

"Don't even bother Roman, just leave me alone." she opened the door of the shop and walked outside with tears leaking out of her eyes. Ugh she was in such a good mood too, she wiped the tears slipping down her face with her sleeves. She started to get on her bike when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She whipped her head around almost viciously and saw him standing there with a sheepish look on his face . "Can I help you?"

 "Why are you crying?" he replied shocked, as he swiped away a tear with his fingers.  Amelie felt a tingly warm feeling creep into her cheeks. She was mortified. "Why do I always cry while I'm angry." she muttered, looking down.  

"Look Am, I know why you're angry and I know it's because of me." Her laughter stung as she glared into his  eyes. 

"Yeah Roman, it's because of you. Glad you finally figured it out after 4 weeks. Oh, and what the heck is "am" supposed to be? A nickname? You hardly know me. What are you doing here really?" she whispered with fire alight in her  brown eyes. 

He bowed his head in shame. "I owe you an apology. I screwed up absolutely big time, I had obligations...."

She brushed her hair behind her eyes and clasped her hand together mockingly "Hm, obligations." 

"Yes really." he begged.

"That's a lousy excuse." she turned her back to him and covered her face with her hands and sighed. This was a terrible situation. It was awkward and she felt there was no point to it. Something simple happened, he stood her up that was all. 

"Look, I barely know you but when I met you the other day all I knew is I wanted to get to know you. Whether you came to apologize to me out of shame or you really wanted a second chance just tell me it straight, please. It would save a lot of trouble." 

His lips curved into a smile as he pulled out her favorite book from his  backpack. 

She scrunched her eyebrows together confusedly "What, you're  finally giving it back?" 

"Fully read and loved." he smirked.

She couldn't help but letting a sneak of a smile hint on her face. "You really read it." she laughed  while raising her eyebrows. "You actually liked it!" 

"Of course I did." he said while taking her hand in his own and linking his gaze to hers. "Amelie I was a jerk. I hope you can forgive me for how stupid I acted. Please give me a second chance and I'll take you to the best date you've ever been on." He said squeezing her hand.

"The only date I've ever been on." she brushed her hair behind her ear shyly. 

"Huh how?" he raised his eyebrows and her looked her up and down. There goes the butterflies and tingles again. "That's definitely going to have to change." he laughed. 

"What do you say about a picnic in the woods." 

"The woods?" she threw her head back giggling. "That's really romantic." she said in all seriousness now but with a hint of humor as she raised her brows.

"We could read you know if you really wanted to." he tapped his fingers absently on pride and prejudice. 

"Hmmmm that reels me in." she teased cupping her face in her own hand and smiled. 

"It's a date". his eyes glittering with excitement and mischief. 

"Oh my gosh Roman I got to leave for school!" she said reading the time on her phone. "Wait! Here's my number." she said writing it on his hand with a pen. 

"Ouch Amelie, your stabbing me!" he said rolling his eyes but smiling. 

"Catch you later!" she hopped on her bike and rode off to her hell hole of a school.
