Chapter 10 | Clear As Day

You free? Let's get coffee.

The screen of your cellphone lights up with a message from Gojo. You're quick to pick it up, but you stare at the text for a moment, slow to respond.

Now?

Your thumbs are rigid and heavy as you take your time with responding. Hesitantly, you hit send with furrowed brows.

Yes, now.

A notification buzzes on your phone. You haven't even put it down yet. He replies within the matter of a few seconds.

And don't bring your friend.

He double texts- a surprising act from Gojo. You chuckle to yourself as you notice that he still refuses to use Choso's name, for some odd reason.

You sigh, getting off of the couch and getting dressed to go out. You wear a simple, casual outfit. Just a pair of blue mom jeans and a black crop top. You put your hair up into a pony tail and pull the ponytail through the back of a black baseball cap hat. You tie on your shoes, grab your purse and head of the door.

As you step out into the warm day, you receive a message from Gojo, the address to the coffee shop. You check the location on your maps app and figure out the quickest way there. Suddenly, the smell of a cigarette perks your head up.

You look up to see Choso. Just as you raise your arm to wave, you realize he's not alone this time. A blonde-headed woman with long and healthy hair stands across from him, her back is towards you, barely blocking your sight of Choso. You squint your eyes as if you can't believe there's another woman with him.

When he hears your door close, his head tilts towards you immediately. His eyes widening slightly as he catches sight of you, he hasn't seen or heard from you in a couple days.

The two of you hold each other's gaze for a moment. The woman across from him notices his lack of attention and looks over her shoulder at you.

She's beautiful.

You feel a hot pang in your chest. Though you're not together, jealously blooms within you.

You bite your tongue, not wanting to interrupt their time. You see the woman turn back towards Choso and hear her ask him something, but their voices fade from your head. Seems he's occupied with another, just as much as you are now.

You turn on your heel, hurriedly making your way down the steps to rid your mind of the sight of them together.

Fuck.

In growing frustration with him and yourself, you jog towards the coffee shop and text Gojo that you're on the way there. Gojo quickly replies with a thumbs up.

After a bit of jogging, you finally make it there. You bend over for a moment with your hands on your knees, catching your breath. You look up to see a cute little banner arching over the door reading "Welcome to Kiki's!". Floating, white ceramic potted plants with little pink blooms hang from each side of the doorway.

You peer through the window to see Gojo already sitting down at a table, scrolling on his phone. For a second, you're surprised that there isn't a girl that he's talking to.

You open the door and a bell chimes. The inside of this little coffee shop is even cuter than the outside. Black and white tile line the floor. A long, light green couch lines the left wall with four small white tables spaced out in front of it.

You spot Gojo on the edge of the couch as he looks up to see you slightly out of breath. A smile lights up his face and he waves you over to an open seat across from him.
