God I hate Mondays
I love the cafe and getting out of the house but it's Monday.  it has a certain feel to it. I don't like it

I walk to the bathroom and freshen up before heading back to my room and getting into my outfit for the day

I do some light makeup to make my zombie like face look a little alive. I drag my feet not really wanting to go and after 2 painful minutes I'm out the door. I look around, everything is so bright it burns my eyes. I'm not emo. I just don't like the sun I love winter and rain even though the sun brings out my golden colour

I walk to to the bus stop fast not knowing where the energy came from but also not complaining
I wait for 10min wishing I had a car right now

I get to work in 40min not late but also not early if you what I mean
I'm still on register and taking orders duty
Today is my last day and then I'll be back to making coffee and helping with baking

The usual happens
Ethan walks gets his usual and more customers come in getting there morning coffee and breakfast

It's lunchtime and I'm so happy
I have been craving fettuccine Alfredo
There's an Italian restaurant a few blocks away which is only about a 10min walk

I get back with my takeaway and find lili sitting at the back of the cafe she waves me over
I go over and sit down already digging into my food. I moen at how good it is and lili giggles at that

"So how was your date" I ask more for my own selfish interest
"Omg it was amazing. I thought he would take me on a dinner date but he said that's too boring which made me a little sad but I didn't show it" I chuckle classic Ethan

"He took me to an Arcade and tell me why me. the fairytale loving Princess, actually found the arcade filled with sweaty people, more interesting than a romantic dinner date?" I laugh at how dramatic she's making it sound

"I feel he might change me instead of the other way around" she pouts sadly but not meaning it

"And we are going out again this Friday" Ouch why did that sting a little

"That's awesome you guys might even be a thing one day" I say half heartedly and smile I hate myself for wanting to be her right now

I carry on eating and scrow through tiktok while we make small talk
I'm half way in my pasta when the bell rings
I look up putting pasta in my mouth when, I stop my movement the pasta hanging on my lips
It's Him

He looks at me and the pasta and smiles
I cut the pasta with my teeth and swallow the one in my mouth really fast I could have chocked. could have.

Lili looks at me with wide eyes "are you okay you look stunned"
"Hazel eyes" I manage to say
"What"
"Hazel eyes. I mean, Xander" I point
Looking over at him ordering something from Mrs Anderson
He actually came
"Omg his freaking hot" lili says
"Like damn those lips, that curly hair, Lord have mercy!" lili fans herself
