After|| Byler

Chapter nine

Warning: slight steamy content!!

It's been a week or so, since that last party with Max, and this time I mark my words.

To stay away from other party ever! Like who knew truth or dare could be so.....I don't know sexual.

But I don't need to worry about another party happening anytime soon. Max is on some family bonding trip with Jane, so I have the whole dorm to myself.

I decided since I have a few minutes to myself and most of my classes are online for today.

That After my walk around pop up shops and buying a new art kit and paints, and a much needed phone charger, because I accidentally burnt out my last one.

I figured why not go and look around town, because I haven't really been nowhere off campus other than parties with Max and being cooped up in my dorm room, while on my walk I stumbled upon the most cutest bookstore/coffee shop.

Pulling the door open, to the coffee shop and bookstore, I walked in being hit in the face with the instant smell of coffee, and my ears being filled with the small chatter of people near by.

I scope around searching the shelf's of books from all the talent authors from all around, when I'm officially done with college I'm going to get a job as a graphic artist, but writing seems so interesting to even though it hasn't really sparked much interest.

Once i settled on a book that I wanted to read, I headed to purchase my book and maybe something to eat on.

"What can I get for you today?" The lady behind the counter asked as I looked up at the menu.

"Hm Just one blueberry muffin...to go please" I say reaching into my pocket to take out my wallet.

As an unfortunate figure emerged beside me.

"We just keep bumping into each other huh?" An all too familiar voice speaks.

"Huh?!" I jumped as I turn being met with Mikes gaze, he lets out a soft chuckle.

"Sorry...didn't mean to startle you, what I meant to say was, we keep seeing each other around...like I'm friends with Max and you're her roommate so...." He says stuffing his hands into his pockets while rocking back and forth.

"One blueberry muffin to go" the lady says handing it to me and I hand her the cash.

"Thank you" I looked at Mike who's still standing with his hands in his pockets.

"what?, what are you implying?" I asked walking away from the counter this time Mike followed.

"I'm asking That maybe...if you and I can ...you know maybe start over...and be?"

My eyebrows knit together, but not in like a rude manner...more of a taken aback expression, because if I didn't know any better I think he was asking for us to be friends.

"What?...for us to be friends?" I asked for him as his expression softened.

"I mean yeah!...why not?" He smiled as I looked at him softly our eyes meeting which caused me to smile.

"Can I um...show you something?" Mike continued which fully takes me back a little bit, I barely know him...let alone be alone with him.

Just as I'm about to decline, he says the word "please" which I don't know what shifted in him to feel the need to be more polite with me.... And who knows maybe we did end up getting off on the wrong foot and he finally realized that he was in the wrong.

"Fine" I say softy as his smile seems to grow wider.
