Chapter One- Strange looks

"Ma'am are you going to be ordering soon?" "What? Oh no,no... They'll be here soon." I watched as the waiter left and I pulled out my phone. My reflection stares at me before I hide it with my messaging app.

Lonely poet

Please try to get here soon

People are looking at me like I got stood up on a date

Tree branch

Oh sorry let me just, wait faster -.-

Lonely poet

  Thank you <3

I put my phone away and take a look at the menu again.

The cesar salad looks great. I might order that...

I kept looking at the menu when my phone buzzed inside my pocket. She finally got here and is asking for the reservation name. I thought I already told her though, maybe she forgot? 

Tree branch

So i'm here but they wanna know the reservation name

Can you tell me it so I don't get kicked out?

Lonely poet

 You made me wait 30 minutes

So no :)

Tree branch

But eating with you was what I was waiting for all week!!!

I tried your name and it wasn't it so spit it out

Lonely poet

I put it under your name :p

Tree branch

Why the fuck would you do that?

Lonely poet

Just hurry up

Soon enough I see the waiter walk back with her by their side. I stuff my phone away and sit up straight.

God dammit I'm acting like a simp already

"I guess you weren't ghosted since I'm here now", she said and pulled out her chair and sat. The waiter hands her the menu and winks at her. I tense up when he does it and she doesn't notice. He walks away and she opens her menu.

While she's reading I notice how she braided her hair today. It's a new color too... I ignore it and look at her beautiful face.

Wow...

Her face always makes my heart skip a beat. She didn't do much makeup today, I mean she doesn't really do makeup other than an amazing eye. She just has some eyeliner on with a smokey eye. Her eyeliner is a bit smudged but it still looks good. She looks at me then puts down her menu.

"So Teagan, why are you looking at my hair like that?" "Huh?, oh sorry..." I look down feeling a bit guilty. "Hey don't feel bad. Is it the new color?" I look back up at her and mumble out a small "Yeah..."

She smiles and proceeds to claim, "Heather helped me dye it! They got a new job at Poofy Do, that salon I always go to. I was in need of a redye, but I wanted a new color." "When did you go get it done?" I felt my legs start to stiffen up, but acted like nothing was wrong. "I went Thursday, I kept calling you to see if you wanted to join but you didn't pick up cause you were busy at work!" She sighs and leans back. "You work too much Teagan, try to live a little more." I laugh a bit, "But I do live a little Autumn, it's not like I stay in my home 24/7." I roll my eyes at her then ask, "Who decided your new color if it wasn't me?"

"Oh it was Heather who chose it!"
