IT'S NOT GOODBYE - Käärijä x Reader

Chapter 12 - Final

We enter in the nearest coffee shop.

Only the waitress and a couple of people were there.

It's too early for a Sunday morning.

The surroundings are calm and the sky has started to cloud over.

We take a seat and order something to eat.

We sit one in front of the other, he gently caresses my forearm looking at me with love in his eyes.

While we wait I cannot look at anything else that is not him, trying to memorize his features, his touch and smell.

-What plans do you have now ? - he asks.

-Well... I have a couple of people asking me to work with them in some events. But I still have to check it... I need to rest at least a couple of days first.

-I understand - he chuckles.

-And you?

-My manager wants me to take some vacations too. And I think he's getting me a few gigs for this summer.

-A few? You will not stop, you'll see. - I take his hands in mine.

He looks at our hands and smiles timidly.

-I hope so. - he nods.

The waitress returns with our order and we start eating. From time to time I feel his leg brushing against mine while talking about different things.

-You feeling better now?

-Yes, much better. - I nod covering my mouth while chewing the food.

-By the way... I wanted to talk about us... - He makes a pause and his body tenses.

I stop eating and I take a sip of my drink trying to swallow the food that got stuck on my throat at the sudden change of subject.

-Y-yes, I wanted to talk about that too... - And didn't know how to say it.

-I would like to...

He gets interrupted by the sudden vibration of my phone on the table.

Blanca is calling me.

-Wait... what time is it? - I ask before taking it.

-Eight o'clock in the morning, why?

-Fuck. My airplane!

-What time do you have to take it?

-In two hours!

-What? (Y/N)! We have to go now!

I take the phone and...

-(Y/N)! Where have you been ! We are waiting for you ! We are at the airport. I have your luggage !

-Sorry I had lost track of time!

-How... HOW!

She keeps talking and won't let me give her an answer.

Jere looks at me with a funny face, definitely he can hear her shouting at me.

-Where were you last night! - she asks.

-W-well... I was. - Jere's eyes and mine meet.

-Hi - he says to the phone.

She stops talking immediately. I don't know what she's thinking right now, but this situation makes me feel embarrassed.

-Oh, I see... - She stays silent for a few more seconds, Jere covers his mouth trying not to laugh at the situation. - Just be here on time, ok?

-Ok...- I answered, covering my blushed face with my other hand ending the call.
