And Then He Was Gone (Diall)

Chapter 2 - May I get to know your name?

*Demi's POV*

I walked to the reception or whatever you call it, I walked closer to Rid.

"Hey Rid, can I work in the front?"

Ryder turned to face me after taking the money from the customer and giving them their cupcakes, "huh? Sorry I didn't catch what you said"

"Can I work in the front and you help Em?"

"Yeah, sure"

Ryder walked to the sink and washed his hands, preparing himself to bake, while I took his place and covered up the next few customers.

The last customer in line just left the bakery.

There aren't much customers at this time, most of the people are either at work or school at such an hour.

I rested my elbow on the counter, then leaned my head into my palm, and huffed from boredom, waiting for customers to come.

Do you think I'll meet the blue eyed guy today? I hope he comes over.

Just as I thought about that, I heard the old, weak, and rusty bell ring, signaling that a customer came in. Right after I heard the bell, I stood straight, fixing my posture.

I smiled to the customer, "Hello, how may I help you sir?" Just then I noticed it was the blue eyed guy, and my smile grew wider.

He was wearing a white shirt along with blue jeans, he wasn't wearing a SnapBack this time.

I noticed the highlights of his hair, that were dyed blonde, it makes him look more attractive.

"Hey Demi" he said and waved at me, as he got closer to the counter.

For a moment, I could feel my cheeks get a little warm. Even the smallest gesture from him made me blush. I don't know why he had such an effect on me, I don't even know his name, yet he can still make me blush.

"Hi" I greeted him again. "What would you like to have?"

"Your number" he replied and smiled cheekily, my cheeks turned a pink, making it more noticeable that I'm blushing.

"I meant from the bakery,"

"Does that mean that I can't get your number?" He frowned.

"Why do you want my number?"

"Because you're gorgeous"

My cheeks began to heat up and turn red, I looked down trying to hide my blush, "Don't hide your face from me, love"

"Are you gonna buy something?" I said trying to change the subject.

"Not until you give me your number"

I took a napkin from the stack on my left, then took searched for a pen. I saw a pen lying on the ground so I bent down and took it.

I wrote my number on the napkin and smiled handing it to him. "Now will you buy something?"

He took the napkin and grabbed his phone from his pocket. I saw him inserting my number into his contacts, I saw him typing "gorgeous" in the name bar.

I blushed again for the hundredth time. "Cookies"

"Cookies?" I questioned

"Yeah, I want the same chocolate chip cookies you gave me yesterday."

"Oh, how many?"

"Three. No wait make it four"

"Okay"

I grabbed a paper bag and put four cookies in the bag, then handed him the paper bag, he payed the money, then he took a napkin.

He grabbed one of the cookies and brought the cookie closer to me. "here take this cookie"

"No, I can't take cookies from the customer" I moved his hand back to him, as he frowned.

"So I'm a customer? I thought I was your friend, since you gave me your number"

I felt my heart skip a beat as he said friend, I don't know wether I should be happy he thinks of me as a friend, or sad that he only saw me as a friend.

"You are a friend, but you're also a customer" I said trying to hide what I said before.

"Well then, take this cookie as a cookie from a friend"

"I don't even know your name, and we're friends, yet you expect me to take a cookie from you?"

"Yeah I do expect you to take a cookie, cause it's not an everyday thing that I share my food"

I took the cookie from him and smiled "Happy?"

He nodded his head eagerly, making him seem cute as he smiled.

"May I get to know your name?" I asked him, hoping to fill the space of the blue eyed guy into his real name.

"Nah" he said shaking his head, "Where will the fun be at if I told you my name? I want to make my name a mystery type of thing" he smiled at me, then walked over to the door.

"SEE YA LATER DEMI!" He yelled as he left the bakery.

I watched him as he disappeared from my eyesight. I sighed knowing that i won't get to know his name any time sooner.
