Thinking About You

Chapter 5

"Would you care to see a stranger who's eyes are still the same?"

HARRY'S POV:

Why did they have to choose this place?

There was only one table left to sit at since it's so busy here.

And I distinctly remember this being the table I sat at the day I met Cherry.

I don't want to sit at this table, but I do anyway. Like I said, it's the only table.

Why did they have to choose this place?

I don't want to be here.

But I need to talk to Cianni and Dani.

I showed up ten minutes early, I already got a coffee, and now I'm just waiting for them.

I liked the way Naomi made my coffees, who ever made the one I'm drinking now is an awful batista in comparison.

"Harry?"

As if my day couldn't get worse.

I look up and over at the figure standing beside my table.

"Hey." I say flatly.

"What are you even doing here?" Josh asks.

"That's not really your business, is it?" I say annoyed by his presence.

The only reason I was ever nice to him was because he was Naomi's friend, and at one point boyfriend. I haven't seen him since they broke up, but now that he's in front of me I feel no need to be friendly to him.

"It is though. I work here and you could cause commotion if you're here for too long." He huffs.

He still works here?

I look back over at him and he's not wearing an apron.

"Where's your apron?" I ask.

"Not that it's your businesses, but I'm the manager now." He says with a fake smile.

I don't congratulate or say anything back at all, I just take a sip of my shitty coffee.

Wait.

He's the manager.

No wonder it's so bad now.

The door opens, and I see Dani and Cianni walk into the cafe.

"If you'll excuse me, my company just arrived."

"How long are are you gonna be here?" He asks annoyed.

Cianni and Dani walk to the counter to order.

"I don't know Joshua." I sigh.

Even if I did know how long I'd be here I wouldn't tell him, just to piss him off.

The door opens again.

Emma walks in.

She and I make eye contact as she walks in and I can't help the suprised expression that's on my face.

She's suprised too.

It's been a really long time.

Wait, why is she walking this way?

As she approaches my table, she leans in to give Josh a hug and kiss.

Oh.

That's still a thing?

I honestly expected that to last a month tops.

"Hi Harry." She gives a polite smile and wave.

I smile and wave back.
