In Between (girlxgirl)

Chapter Twenty-Four

"One large, iced mocha?" I asked the woman that was on the other side of the counter. She smiled before paying with card, then I handed her the receipt before smiling at her.

Once she walked down to the end of the counter, I sighed before wiping my hands on a towel that was laying nearby. I looked around the shop then turned my attention to the girl that was behind me as she was making coffees.

It's been a few days since that night, and everything's been ok. I haven't heard anything from Danny, and one of the reasons being that I blocked him on everything. I had to go through all my social media apps to block him.

I have heard his stupid bike come down my street a few times, and I was waiting for him to pull up in the driveway so I could smash his face into the concrete.

Thinking about all of it, really didn't make me heartbroken. I felt sad and pissed about it, but I wasn't crying over him anymore. I didn't care anymore. I still felt stupid and called myself an idiot for everything that revolved around him, but I stopped caring.

It was over with.

I honestly felt like I could breathe a little better without him.

It was the best feeling, ever.

Throughout the last few days, Ember and I have had a lot of tension between us. It was weird, because we didn't speak about that night. We didn't act like we were something more than whatever we were right now. There was a lot of tension though, and when Noah came back home, he surely saw it.

He asked if I was ok one night when he was playing his game. I was sitting on the couch with a blanket over me and Ember's foot was grazing my leg, and it made me act weird. I'm not even sure if she meant to do it, but she acted like she didn't know what she was doing.

Noah sensed my stiffness, and called me out on it.

Whatever was going on between us was driving me fucking insane. I couldn't stand being at the house hardly, so I kept making up excuses to walk outside or lock myself in my room for a while.

I wasn't sure if it was sexual tension, but it was enough to make me not want to stay there.

When I got called back into work, I was more than happy. Of course, I had to get Ember to take me, and she would come pick me up, but I can stay away from her for a few hours, and I was fine with that.

As I was lost in thought, I heard a customer walk in, and when I turned around, I saw Danny standing in front of me. I tried not making a scene at work, but it was hard to do when I was staring at this asshole across from me.

"Yeah?" I ask, trying not to sound rude.

"I want my usual." He spoke, and I typed it in. "And I want ten minutes with you." When he said that, I slightly laughed before shaking my head. I looked up and saw his eyes looking back into mine, then I rolled mine before looking at the screen.

"My break isn't until another hour." I told him.

"Then I'll wait." He said, then walked to the end of the counter. I let my eyes follow before sighing. I continued to take orders as more people came in, but my eyes kept shifting to Danny.

He waited for me at the booth, and when my break arrived, I grabbed a coffee before walking around the counter. I walked to the booth then sat down across from him, but never looked at him. I took a sip of my coffee then looked towards then door.

"I came to talk." Danny said. "Please look at me."

When I did, I saw the sadness in his eyes, but that didn't phase me. I kept my composure, and the strength not to jump across this table and strangle him. He sighs before looking at the table then leaning up a little.
