Rye POV
-
"I hate her so much! But she's so cute at the same time! Ugh!! Why??" I slam my head on the bar table and the bartender plasters a fake smile onto his face. "There, there rye. I'll sure you'll figure it out." I look up at him and he smiles. "How about a drink to get your mind off of it? The usual?" I smile and nod my head back at him. God damn it. Oh for the sake of the witches, WHY DOES CHILI PEPPER COOKIE HAVE TO BE SO ANNOYINGLY-ATTRACTIVE?! And I'm hanging out with her tommorow. FUCK! The bartender places my drink in front of me. "Thanks, sparkling." I pick up the cup and chug down half the bottle before I heard the bell ring. I look behind me and see- Is that...? Fuck. "Oh hi rye. Fancy seeing you here." Chili pepper cookie takes a seat down beside me, and the bartender smirks at me in the corner of my eye. "Hello, welcome to sparkling's juice bar what can I get you?" Chili pepper cookie shrugs her shoulders and spaced out for a moment. "If you don't know, I do have a recommendation. Have you tried Rye Juice?" Chili peppers eyes light up. "I'll take one of those, please." I look over at her and she looks at me too. "You've tried rye juice?" I scoff, "oh of course, you probably made it with the rye you stole from me." Chili pepper looks down. "Ah, about that. I've never tried it and..." she turns over to me and holds my hands. "I want to make it up to you. I'm sorry, I'll give the rye back but if there's anything I can do for you, please tell me." My face warms up. "Ch-chili?" She looks up at me. I have endless thoughts about how she could "make it up to me" but unfortunately... I can't. "Well you don't need to worry about that now... all that matters is that if you give the rye back." I smile at her and she smiles back. For a moment I gaze down at her lips but I look back at her eyes, my face as warm as the sun. We continued talking and finished our drinks. "Oh I um... brought the rye with me... one moment." Chili pepper walks to the entrance of the building and picks up a sack and hands it to me. I open the sack and there's rye, and a small piece of paper on top. I go to look up at smile at her, but she dissapeared.
I sure do wonder... why she ran.
