Because I Thought I Hated You

The drive wasn't long, in no time she got there and parked in the parking lot that the other shops shared with the cafe. It reminded her of a small mall. She took in and released air from her mouth a few times before she unbuckled her seatbelt and stepped out of her car.

Her hood was up because it was chilly and she didn't like when the wind blew her hair back. She shoved her hands in her hoodie pocket and walked to the cafe. She was surprised it was still open, she didn't think about that when she planned it. Lucky for her, it says it's open 24 hours.

She opened the door and walked in, the bell above the door kind of made her feel exposed. If he was here, he probably caught sight of her before she had any chance of catching sight of him. But as she glanced around, she didn't see a blue hoodied guy, she had gotten there first.

She walked up to the counter and decided to get a hot chocolate and raspberry pie. She took her food and sat down by the wall. She made sure to face the door. She decided to text Nora her location and tell her what she was doing so if she goes missing at least her best friend knew of her last sighting. Olivia couldn't help but think that perhaps she was overreacting, although, there's no wrong in being safe.

As she enjoyed her pie, the bell above the door rang and she imagined it bouncing on the wall. She looked up and saw a guy with a blue hood, but his face was hiding as he walked towards the counter. She felt her insides fold and unfold. She wiped her hands on her pants as they began to sweat, and she tried to connect with her numbing side to calm down. When she calmed down, she pretended she didn't see anything as she put a video on her phone that always made her feel at ease. Cat videos.

They were so cute, and fluffy. She squealed as she watched one roll on its back and play with its owner's hand. Well, the bastard was biting his hand, but it was cute nonetheless. She grabbed her spoon and shoved a piece of pie into her mouth.

As she watched, the chair in front of her was pulled back causing her to look up. With a gasp, she stared back up at Nolan who looked at her in equal surprise.

"No way." They say in unison.
