Our Girl

Jasmine

A week later

Theodore waited downstairs in the lounge room for me while I got dressed so he could walk me to Photography before he went to Geography.

This man takes Geography, History and biology.

It makes me wonder how he has time for a relationship.

"Okay I'm ready." I announced as I walked in the room.

"You look beautiful"

I'm wearing sweatpants and a t shirt but okay.

"Thank you." I smiled

He stood up, towering over me, and held out his hand, allowing me to intertwine our fingers.

"I like your hands" I looked up at him.

He chuckled "I've never gotten that before but thank you. I like yours too. They're so cute" he brought my hand up to his lips and kissed them lightly.

"Thank you or whatever" I mumbled.

"Dante! Connor!, look!" I held up our intertwined hands to show Dante that Theodore and I were a thing.

"Congratulations Jas" he smiled.

"Now Dante is the one that's left out"

"Is it because I'm black?" Dante retorted.

I raised my eyebrows, not trying to get involved.

"No. Oh God. Stop it" Connor replied nervously.

Dante smiled and leaned back in his chair, satisfied at Connor's uncomfortableness.

. . .

"I'll pick you up at 6?" Theodore walked me to the café.

"30. Six thirty. It's a Friday so later than usual. Tomorrow it's 6 and Sunday it's 4. Monday is 7. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday is 6." I explained.

"Got it boss"

He leaned down to kiss me lightly before I walked into the café to see Michael taking a customer's order.

"Hello Michael!" I greeted, walking to the back room to change.

"'ello sweetheart!" he greeted back.

"Hello Leo!" I peeked into the kitchen, seeing him make an omelette -probably for the person sitting by the bar.

"'ello darling" he turned around, almost giving me a smile.

"LEO! I love your new haircut. It really suits you"

His long curly hair was now much shorter, faded by the sides.

"Thank you very much" he smirked.

So close!

I walked into the dining area and saw a group of familiar boys walk in.

Oh God. They're from school.

I quickly went back to go put on the sweater Michael had got me. It was the exact same thing as my t shirt but in sweater form.

I took a deep breath as I walked up to take their order.

"Hello. What can I get for you today?" I took my notebook out with slightly shaky hands.

"Hello pretty lady. We'll be needing menus first" a guy with blue eyes and blonde hair answered.

"I'm sorry. Let me go get those for you real quick" I walked to the bar and grabbed a few menus for them
