I'm about to walk out ready for work. Putting the last touches on my coffee. Yesterday was a movie, but today is a new day. I haven't had a panic attack in a couple of years, so I was quite surprised.
I pick up my purse with my coffee in my other hand. Grabbing my keys, I step out of my apartment into the hallway. It was cold as usual. I mean, it is February in Detroit. I turn and lock the door. I hear something yell my name.
When I turn around, Niyah is standing in front of me. Niyah is my neighbor's adorable 8 year old daughter. Her brown curls perfectly sit on her head in a claw clip. "Holá princesa."
Niyah gives me a big hug. Her mom opens the door and chuckles. "Vámonos, mi amor. Ms Rodriguez has work to do." Niyah looks up at me, her brown eyes glistening as she pouts.
"Movie night tomorrow with me?" Niyah, let's go and shake her head frantically. She really doesn't speak that much. I laugh and blow her a kiss. I walk down the stairs, taking my phone out as I exit the door.
I planned on going over to my dad's house to see him and my sister today after work. I am honestly just so glad that I don't have any photoshoots or anything today. Just the bookstore today.
"EMANIE!" I look up to see who called my name. I see Alessio. Yea, that's right. What was he doing here? I walk up to him.
"Hi….What are doing here?" He smirked, giving off his adorable dimples. I've never been this close to him to see all of his features. But they are hot if I do say so myself.
"Well, I can't say I haven't developed a new crush. But, who couldn't honestly? I look at him, and I can feel my eyebrows furrow. Is he….saying he likes me?
"I'm sorry, come again, por favor." Here goes the angry latina who hates attention from men.
"Oh, not to come off that way….I just come baring to be your personal chauffeur caused by my sister." I chuckle, putting my head down. I love Leanna. I pick my head up, squinting my eyes, thinking if I should take up the offer.
"Offer accepted." I hold my hand out for him to shake it, but he just looks at it and turns around. I hesitantly put my hand down. Alessio opens the back door for me, and I hope in. I watch as he walks around to the front, looking around at everything.
He gets in and starts the car immediately driving off. "Oh yea, you're not going to work today. I already called and told them you're sick. So you have all day for me to take you anywhere you want." He is impressive.
"Ok, one, how did you know where I worked and two do you actually mean anywhere?" He ignores me, keeping his eyes on the road. I don't believe this. I put my head back thinking about where I want to go.
“So, where are we off to?” I pick my head up to look at Alessio, who is on his phone texting. Safety first, guys.
“Well I mean, if we ever make it, I would like to go to Mexicantown Bakery.” He looks at me through the rearview mirror and puts his phone down. He didn’t even put in the address, but it seemed like he knew the exact place I was talking about.
I was so tired that I ended up dozing off. I was shaken awake by Alessio, who had my door open, standing over me. “We’re here.” His face never left this emotionless state, and his amber eyes were full of……nothing. No emotions.
He held his hand out, helping me exit the car. Today was not a good day to wear this bodycon dress. The coldness was hitting me, causing goosebumps to appear along my arms. Akessio holds the door for me, and I walk into the bakery. I walk up to the counter, taking in the delicious smell of sweetness.
“Hi, welcome back, Emanie. Can I get you the regular?” I look back to Alessio, who was already looking at me. He raises his eyebrows and drops them again. I look back at the girl at the counter.
“Yes Please. Thank you, Aruara.” She put my order in and smiled. When she looks up, she asks Alessio what he’d like.
“I’ll just take a black coffee.” His deep voice almost made me buckle to my knees. She takes down the order and tells us it’ll be ready in a couple of minutes. We go to a table to take a seat. Alessio immediately pulls out his phone.
“Ok, so you're out with one of the prettiest girls, and you're on your phone….Nice.” I whispered the last part to myself. He looks up from his phone and puts it down.
“Look, I'm not the guy for this. You are wildly attractive, but I just want to make my sister happy.” I laugh and take in all of his features.
His amber eyes, freckles on his little button nose, his pink parted lips I'd honestly love to devour, his nicely groomed stubble still allowing you to see his deep dimples. This man is perfect.
I can't help but catch myself staring and smiling. "So you think I'm attractive?" Alessio hums in agreement, resting his head in his hands. Sending shivers down my spine."Mm, well, I don't think you're too bad yourself. " We were then interrupted by Aurara with our order.
"Ok, I have a black coffee for you, sir. And for Emanie, I have a blueberry French toast, blueberry muffin, and our most famous blueberry cheesecake on the house."
I smiled, thanking Aurara before she walked off. I moaned at the sight of the food. Food literally has my heart. "I see someone has a thing for blueberries." I nodded eagerly, taking a bite of my toast. It was so good I couldn't even look at Alessio again, but I could feel his eyes on me like lasers.
