Charlotte's pov
The day was spent full of laughter as the girls done everything in their power to make me laugh continuously throughout the day, mainly at Ella's expense. They shown me around Manchester City centre, Old Trafford, and we even went for a quick walk around Salford quays, which was right next to the Theatre of dreams.
After our excursions, we ended our tour at Ella and Less' favourite café. They told me they come here on everyday off as the staff were lovely and the food is delicious. I was excited to be involved in their traditions. In the short time I had spent with them, they have done nothing but made me feel welcome, funnily enough, after my outburst this morning around the Leah situation, I felt as though it brought the 3 of us even closer. A bond that could not be broken. I had heard obviously of the dynamic duo, but after spending time with them, I could see exactly why they spoke so highly of one another.
As we arrived at the café, it was nothing too fancy. It was a family run café which was located down a backstreet close by to Leigh sports village. Taking a seat at a free table, we began to look through the menu's which were already awaiting on the table. Shortly after, the waitress came over to take our order. As my eyes drifted from the menu, I looked up towards the waitress who was stood before me. "Back again I see, are you having your usual?" the waitress chuckled as she directed her question towards less and Ella. "Yes please" Ella responded, "you know us too well." All 3 girls laughed in sync. They definitely come in here a lot I thought to myself. "Who's your friend?" the waitress asked, her eyes now gazing into mine.
"Ohh, this is Charlotte, she's our new teammate and is house sharing with me and Ella. Charlotte, this is Niamh. Her family own this café." Less stated, as my eyes were still locked onto the deep hazel eyes of the waitress. I seen a smile appear across of waitress's face before she opened her mouth "Hi Charlotte, I'm Niamh, I'm sure I'll be seeing a lot of you if you're house sharing with these two, they're our most regular customers" Niamh chuckled once again. "Lovely to meet you Niamh, I'm sure you will".
After Niamh had taken our orders, she made her way back behind the customer as she began to serve drinks to the queue which had now formed. Every now and then I could feel eyes on me and as I looked across the café, I was met by those deep hazel eyes of Niamh's, who would give me a slight smile before breaking eye contact and looking away. What is happening? I thought to myself, is she flirting with me? I decided to ignore it, as I wasn't in the right head space for flirting with another girl right now.
Mid way through our food, Niamh came over to check everything was okay and if we needed anything else, as we all assured her everything was fine, her face once again beamed a smile so bright as she looked towards me. As we finished our food and paid, we left the café. On the way to the car Ella burst into a hysterical laugh. Both me and Less looked at one another, before turning to Ella's direction and questioned what was so hilarious. "Well Charlotte, I think you made an impression on Niamh." "What do you mean?" I questioned, slightly oblivious as to where she was going with this. "Oh come on don't be so modest. Surely you noticed the looks she was giving you the entire time we were in there. She's definitely got the hots for you" Ella chuckled once again. Less had now turned to face me before continuing "She's got a point, even I clocked it."
"Yeah right, she was just being friendly as I was a new customer. She definitely doesn't." As we continued back to the car, my thoughts began to spiral. Was she flirting with me? I mean, she's not bad looking. Her smile was infectious, and her eyes were entrancing, but do I fancy her? If Leah had moved on, maybe it was time I did too. I decided I wasn't going to think any more of it and instead put it down to the dynamic duo, just trying to wind me up.
