Sweet As Knight

Just The Two Of Us

Sprinting around in my room as I'm singing along to the radio, I'm getting through my housework like there's no tomorrow... yay!! I can chill out for the rest of today once I've finished doing this lot.
Now I have completed all of my housework chores, I sit out in my sunroom watching the world go by from the window. I scroll through my social media, aimlessly. There's comments on my posts that I've shared from my trip to the show. Everyone has been so nice about my pictures and few videos. Me and Katie have been exchanging messages and comments which has led us to talk about life in general, and getting to know each other. I'm glad we took those pictures together because I really feel like we can be friends for life now. I struggle in social situations so the fact that I've managed to make a friend means a lot.
The sun is shining so brightly and for the first time in a long time, I actually feel comfortable enough to go to my local cafe which is something I rarely do. Knowing that I survived (let's forget about my panic attack at the VIP) going out to see the New Kids show, I want to try going to the cafe again. So I get myself ready.
Once I'm at the cafe, I feel relieved to see it quiet but then I remembered that most people are either at work, school or college etcetera hence why it's quiet. Ordering my drink and cookie, I glance round to pick a table. "Chocolate Java Mint Frappuccino and a chocolate chip cookie, please. Thank you." I pay up and head to the chosen table which is in the corner where I can look out of the large window. I plug in my earphones to listen to my own music. I decide to listen to Michael Jackson.

I'm lost in my music and looking out of the window when I feel a tap on my shoulder. I twist my head round slightly. My eyes feel like they're ready to pop out or my head as I realise who it is. "Hi Kelly, it is Kelly isn't it?" I'm gobsmacked. "Yes, Jon. That's me." Jon flipping Knight! Holy crap. If only he knew how much hotter he is close up, especially in this natural environment. "May I join you or are these taken?" He asks while pointing to the chairs opposite me. I shake my head and smile. I watch as he sits himself down then look around to see if there's anyone else with him.

"My brother is meeting me in a little while but it's just me." I sit still as I'm watching him, taking in his features. Dark brown eyes that are soft on the eye to gaze into, a gorgeous smile that lights up the room and a good mop of dark brown hair on his head. As I try to control my thoughts, I can't help but wonder what it would be like to run my fingers through his hair. I'm bought out of my reverie when he asks how I'm doing. "I'm good thanks, how about you? I wasn't expecting to see you in here." A barista brings my order to the table and I'm able to distract my mind from feeling nervous. "Oh, I had a few hours to kill before we travel to the next destination and seen this place so thought I'd pop in." - "that's cool." The barista now brings Jon's order. "It's lovely seeing you here too, Kelly." He assured me with a big smile on his face. "It's a surprise seeing you here. I hardly go out anywhere so you've definitely made it worth it for me." We sit as we enjoy our drinks. "So, do you live nearby?" - "yeah, not too far from here. It's really nice round here. Have you been here before?" I bite into my cookie, and I love how it melts on my tongue with the chocolate gooey goodness inside it. "Been here before but not explored any of it though. You enjoying that by any chance?" I feel a little embarrassed by my reaction to the cookie and I feel my cheeks turn crimson. "Sorry Jon. I love my cookies. You should get some." He goes to pinch one of mine and I slap his hand away causing him to laugh. "I'll get some for on the road." haha I grin at him. "I might have offered you one but seeing as you tried to steal mine, I'm not going to now." We both laugh. I can feel myself relaxing a bit more now, seeing how human he is.

"What do you like to do when you're not seeing the New Kids?" He asks me. "I love to bake and play video games. It's not easy for me to go out much due to having anxiety issues so going to the show was a massive thing for me, even just coming here but it's quiet during the week thankfully. What about you?" He explains how he loves to renovate old farmhouses and look after his animals. It's therapeutic for him and to be able to get away from the hustle and bustle.
I ask him about his family and I appreciate learning more about his other siblings not just Jordan. As much as I like Jordan, it is refreshing hearing Jon talk about himself and the rest of his family.
Talking of Jordan, I notice him walking into the cafe and he's glancing round to find Jon. I act as if I haven't seen him because I'm enjoying talking to Jon and getting to know him. Damn he sees us. His brow raises when se sees me and plasters his mega watt smile on his face. "Hey guys. Jon." He looks at me, "hi, it's you again, nice to see you." I smile awkwardly, "hi Jordan. You too." He glances down at the table and excuses himself while he goes to put his order in at the counter.

Would it be mean of me to feel annoyed at Jordan? I ask myself. Like why, why does he have to go and spoil the one bit of fun and relaxation that I have with someone. Jon must sense my change of mood... "I can send him away if you prefer, Kelly? He'll understand. If it's easier being  just the two of us." Guilt plays on my mind hearing Jon trying to sooth my nerves (and my hidden annoyance) so I tell him, "it's okay. I've enjoyed getting to know you. Maybe he can make some effort to talk to my friend, Katie as she likes him." He curses, "I totally forgot to mention that to him about Katie, I think he thought she was cute." Aww. "Thanks. I think she'll be a great friend to me so seeing them talk would be nice and cool."
When Jordan comes back to the table, Jon mentions about Katie to Jordan. His face lit up at the mention of her name. The conversation ends up just being between me and Jon as Jordan is busy doing whatever on his phone. It's now time for them to head back to their buses so Jon gives me the best hug and promises to stay in touch. We say goodbye and I make my way back home.
