The sound of the clock fills the room as I stare at the dial number of my phone. "I can't" I breathe getting up from my seat. "What do you mean you can't" Grace blurted. " I just can't, I don't understand why can't we wait till tomorrow to see if she comes back." I plead to escape making the phone call. "And what makes you think she will" Alex asked. "You know what? I don't even want it, it was always glitching anyway, I will get a new one instead" I exclaim. "No, this is your phone why are you scared of calling it anyway?" Grace asked. " I just don't want to" I mumble. "Was she mean to you? did she yell at you when you got into her car? Did she threatened you?" Alex guessed and being in his older brother mood. "What?! no!" I rejected his assumptions. "Then what!" Alex scold.

"I don't want a second hand embarrassment, like hi I am the stupid girl who got into your car by mistake and not just that I forgot my phone just to make you see me again to return it and make me look like a frickin buffoon" I barked. "You are not a buffoon Cass" Grace soothed. "Then what am I?" I ask. "just a human being, it's okay to make mistakes, it's not the end of the world" grace tried to calm me down. But I just fall into my couch bringing my knees up and burying my face in them. "What about we wait till tomorrow and if she doesn't show up then we will make the phone call okay" Alex says creasing my back.
"Okay" I answer.

"I gotta go okay" he says kissing the top of my head. I nod. " Do you want me to stay with you tonight" Grace offers. "No no don't worry yourself I am fine I just lost my temper that is all no biggie" I assure her. "You know that is not the case" she says. "I'm fine, really, see you at the cafe tomorrow"
"Okay, bye" she waved her hand running out the door and yelling "WAIT! Alex take me with you"

sigh

The truth is I am scared if she judges me in some way. Like those amber eyes must look hella scary when it gets mad, right? "Alexa? Play I don't see nobody but you" I order.

"Okay, playing 'double take' by dhruv"

I vibe with the music while making dinner. I am not much of a eater I just make myself some spaghetti with tomato sauce. I finish my plate then I hear a scratch on my door.

I smile as I go open the door to my favorite street cat. "Mister Cat!!"
I crease his white cotton fur. I fill his bowl with food. He starts to dig in.

I brush my teeth then do my face routine of course If I don't want my face to turn into a big pimple, then I change to some comfy clothes. A pair of shorts and tank top will do.
I jump on top my bed which is filled with alot of fluffy pillows. I Pat beside me on the bed so mister cat can join me. then I let sleep to engulf me.
-------------------------------------

I go to the cafe in the morning and it's 10:05 and still no sight of pretty lady any where and I'm starting to get nervous and grace's stare is becoming unbearable. And she keeps sliding her phone to me.

Ting!

"I'll take it" I yell moving forward from the little library to the waiting customer at the counter. "Welcome to laté with a book how can I help you" I introduce forcing a smile. I look up at the customer. Then my jaw drop.

those amber eyes I can't forget and her beautiful jawline with short slicked hair. How does she does that wet look on her hair it's impressive. she is in a biege dress shirt with black pants and the shirt is opened revealing a golden beadnova necklace.

Now she is holding a bored look not like the supprised one she had in the car. Oh no, she hates me, she probably destroyed the phone."Hi" I finally get out of my throat. She raises an eyebrow and I fill a drop of my sweat rolls down my forehead. "I believe this is yours" her deep voice comes. she takes out my phone out of her back pocket. I snatch it from her not believing she brought it back. Like of course she did why would I expect any thing else. *Nervous laugh*

"Oh thank you" I recall bringing my head up but I see her leaving the cafe. "Wait! Hold on" I yell at her, she turns on her heel. " Look if you lost something else I don't have it" she points out. her hands are deep in her pocket. "Hah! Funny. But Let me make you something, on the house, you know, for bringing my phone back" I offer. "Why wouldn't I bring it back " she forrow her eyebrows. I just shrug. "Please, it will be quick" I plead. She moves back to the counter " what you got?" She asks. "Anything you want. there is a vanilla flavor coffee with foam" I suggest. " Okay I will take that" " great" I smile and hurddly to make it she looks like she is in a hurry.

"Here you go" I say Popping the led on. "Huh, that was quick" she smirks. She takes a sip and a nod of approval is there. "See you around then" she says sliding what it looks 50 dollars in the tip jar. "have a great day, ma'am" I reply happily waving.
Aww that was so nice. But still I wish this will be the last time I see her. Her aura is scary although she acts nice.

I start to clean my station. "See, told you" I smirk to Grace who is still looking where the pretty lady left. "Yeah, but she looks oddly familiar" she wonders. " Really?" "Yeah but I can't recall where " she scrunch her eyebrows holding her head trying to remember. "Ah, nevermind, now, that is delt with. We must be ready for the upcoming job interview you have, mhm?" She claps her hands together smiling in mischief. " Agh" I groan. "You're not going anywhere this time you're going to that interview even if it's the last thing I will do" she warns.

Honestly I don't have a good feeling but what could go wrong it's just a job interview, right?
