Love Within You

It's been a few hours since Holden said we're going to the cafe. It's currently 4 o'clock, perfect time to go outside to me.

It's getting dark though but that doesn't matter. The cafe is open till 8 o'clock.

I'm wearing a sweater with a blazer on top, pants that go above my shoes. Basic outfit for a basic day.

I go downstairs to see Holden sitting on the couch, fully manspreading, men are weird.

'Holden!' I yell out. Which makes him jump, I chuckle. 'Are you dressed?', he stands up and I see he's also wearing a sweater and blue pants reaching his ankles.

'We look like we're matching, go change.' I tell him.

He looks me up and down and then at his outfit. 'No, you go change. I was wearing this first'

I let out an astonished gasp. 'Shut up, let's go' I'm sick of him already. He slips in right in front of me making me almost trip.

'Watch out idiot' I shout. 'Your to small, I didn't see you' this fucking dude.

He continues walking and I notice his shoelaces are untied. I've always told people to tie their shoelaces this is what you get.

I run up to him quietly and stand on his shoelaces, which makes him stumble and fall.

I let out a loud laugh making my whole body bend over. 'WHAT THE FUCK?!' He scolds. It's also been raining before that so as he catches himself his hands also land in mud.

Disgusting.

He immediately stands up, which I'm surprised by because it takes me about 2 minutes to even prepare to stand up.

No stamina is what we call it.

'Come here Brie' he says walking towards me while holding his dirty arms out trying to hug me.

I scream. 'NO I JUST GOT THESE CLOTHES!'

He starts running after me while I'm running away. I have to hold my boobs while running and I'm also not a fast runner and asthmatic so this isn't fair at all.

The cafe isn't far away so I run in and he runs in after me. We both stop running since there are people in the cafe.

I bend over with my hands on my thighs, extremely out of breath.

'Hey! Brie and Holden how's it going' one of the cashiers say. We go here a lot, together with Blake and Maeve most of the time but not today.

Holden shows his hands to the cashier, Aaliyah, she's beautiful. Curly hair and dark skin with the most beautiful brown eyes and she's my age. She's one of the nicest people I've met.

Her eyes widen and she immediately runs over to the napkins. I feel bad making her do it since I made him trip so I grab the napkins from her.

I clean it up a bit.

'Brie what are you doing?' Holden suddenly asks.

'Cleaning?'

'You know sinks exist right?' I stop cleaning. I'm so stupid.

I grab his upper arm since his hands are dirty and lead him towards the back.

He lets go, 'I know the way myself too Brie.'

'Okay, jeez, I was just trying to help you'

He turns on the tap and starts washing his hands. I walk away and go to order something, I get a red velvet muffin and a cappuccino.
