Coffee Stains - A novel based on The Fooo Conspiracy

6. first day of work

A/N:
Hi everyone! So how do you like my new book so far? I kinda like it a lot. Only I think I will change the way of writing because that diary stuff is really hard... I guess it's just gonna be like my other book. So I changed the title from 'dear diary' to 'love affair'. As always please also comment every thought about the story and also things you would like to happen. I don't know if this one is going to be as confusing as the last one yet but we shall see!

Let's get on with the story:

As I walk into the espresso house the next morning, the first person I see is Oscar. Yes The Oscar I met in the train. His face is really grumpy and he looks like he just fell out of bed a few minutes ago. As I see him I say: "Oscar! Hi I didn't know you worked here!". Confused about seeing him here at all I smile at him. He doesn't even return it but his face becomes even grumpier and he turns to the back of the coffeeshop. What did I do to make him hate me? I go behind the counter and follow him. " Oscar? Is everything OK?"
"Leave me alone!" Is all he responds humbling. He leans, face to the wall on a shelf. "Did you have to follow me to my work place?" He asks as I step closer."I had no idea you worked here. I applied yesterday for a job here. I'm not apologising for what I dont know. But if you feel uncomfortable with me working here then just tell me and I'll back off. For now your boss said that you are supposed to fill me in everything."I explain and he turns around. Next thing I know I am pressed against the shelf he was just leaning on and his body is awfully close to mine. His hands are placed on each side next to my head, his long arms are blocking my way to escape and his face is so close that I can feel his breath on my skin. He doesn't touch me though. "I don't want you here!" He groans. The fact that he is saying it really quiet, only makes it scarier. After the first shock has passed I step forward. "Then your going to have to find a new job." I say very calm and he backs up. "Ain't gonna happen." He says and leaves to the front. As soon as he has left, I stumble. I almost drag the shelf with some jars on it with me. I can hold on to it but there is still a loud clink. "Everything ok back there? Are the jara ok?" Oscar sticks his head through the door and looks concerned. But probably more about the jars than about me. "Everything is fine" I say with a weak grin. "You coming?" He asks annoyed and his head disappears. Was that him? Does he have that kind of effect and control over my body that he can make me pass out just by touching me? I shake my head and jump up and down to get free of him and I return to the front. "So! Let's get started!" I say and Oscar moans annoyed. Then he starts explaining the coffee machine.

★★★

Six hours later we are both still working. "Could you go and get some milk from the cool room?" Oscar tells me without looking at me. He has been cold and hateful all day and its a miracle that he hasn't killed me yet. "Sure your grace!" I mumble sarcastically and go to the back of the shop to get the white liquid. As I return to the front, Oscar ist talking to some costumer and doesn't recognize me. So I decide to take a break. I go out the back door. The girl that I met yesterday when I was here is already there drinking a coffee and texting on her phone. I have only talked to her once today when she told me her name is Ariana. It's been a busy day and we haven't had much time to get close. "Hi!" I say and sit down next to her. It is the first time that I actually get to look at her. She is really pretty. Her thick black locks fall down her back and her skin has the color of honey. Her dark eyes smile without her even actually smiling and her face has a beautiful shape. I like her just from looking at her. Now the rest of her face smiles too. "Hi!" She says. "It's Klara right?" She questions and I nod. "Your from germany right? I love that country! You drink a lot of beer right?" I laugh at the comment. "We have good beer yes but I don't like it..."
I say with a chuckle. Ariana's mouth forms an O. Then we laugh together. "Can I ask you something?" She asks after some silence. "Sure"
"What's the deal with you and Oscar? I mean I've known the guy for a long time and he's not usually so difficult with people. I mean sure he's hard to be around but normally he's not that cold to people."

"Ahh... We met on the way from germany to Stockholm... We kinda became friends but then something happened and I don't know what. Since then he's been very repellent towards me and I just don't know why." I explain desperately. I must look really sad because Ariana takes me into her arms and hugs me. A warm feeling makes its way through my body and I start feeling better. "Thank you" I smile and I get the feeling the two of us are going to be very good friends soon. She smiles back at me. In that moment the door behind us opens and a still grumpy looking Oscar sticks his head out. "Would you two stop snuggling? The coffee doesn't make itself!" Bang! The door closes again. "I guess we're gonna have to put up with him just a little longer." Ariana jokes and we go inside. When we return to the counter, Oscar groans and goes around it to a table. On the table are sitting two boys and two girls. As I look at them longer, I see that Oscar sitts down next to one of the girls. She's pretty! I think Then he looks at me really quickly, thinking I don't notice it, and they kiss. On the mouth. Really long. But it looks more like she kisses him. I don't see the end of it because Ariana hits me with a towel. "Ouch! What was that for?" I scream. "You like him. " she states. "No I don't... Well as a person yes but not the way you mean! Eww!" I say discussed. I can't help but blush. "Well his girlfriend is really jealous! When they started, I was never allowed to even talk to Oscar because she would think we had an affair. I had to get a boyfriend first before she would believe I wasn't into him."
"How do you know Oscar anyways?" I ask. "My twin brother and he have been friends forever so we kinda grew up together..." Ariana says while putting some dishes in the dishwasher. I nod in understanding and look back to Oscar and his secret girlfriend. Secret to me because he never told me she existed. He has just lifted her onto his lab and is now concentrating on one of his friends who is talking. He doesn't seem to be listening though. I wonder what is going on in his head right now. "Stop starring." Ariana says from behind me. I shrug and turn my eyes down. Concentrating on the coffee I'm making. Not long later a black haired guy enters the coffee shop. He has the same facial shape as Ariana. Her twin brother I'm guessing. "Hey Omar." She greets him. "The usual?" He nods and says: "are Oscar and Alicia glueing together again?"
"Yeah... He seems off today though." Ariana says looking at the table while making Omars coffee. "Oh Klara this is my twin bro Omar. Omar that's Klara she's from Germany and works here for some weeks." Omar smiles at me and I return the favour. Then Omar takes his coffee and leaves to the others. Ariana follows him to pic up the dirty dishes from their table. While she's gone I use the opportunity to go to the back and start pilling up milk packs in the cool room. All I do is pilling them from one side of the room to another. Oscar has a girlfriend? I still try to wrap my mind around that fact. Why didn't he tell me? He must have his reasons. Suddenly I feel someone entering the room outside the cool room. I look out. It's Oscar. When he sees me he turns right around. "Why can't we be friends? Why do you have to hate me?" I stop him.
He turns back to me. He looks lost standing there. "I can't be friends with you." He states. "Why?" I want to know. He lets out a huff. "Because of your girlfriend?" I am just guessing. "No I just can't." He says again. "Why? Do you hate me?"
"I don't hate you."
"Then why can't we be friends?"
"Because-" he throws his arms in the air trying to find a reason but then interrupts himself. "Ah fuck it" I hear him mumble. Then he comes towards me very quickly and next thing I know I'm pressed against the shelf behind me. His hands are laying around my neck only I don't recognize any of that. All that I recognize are his lips pressed on mine. You can't exactly call it pressed because he is lightly touching them. His lips are so soft. And they fit perfectly onto mine. He tastes so good! Automatically my arms move to his front. My right-hand lays on his Torso and my left hand is holding on to the top of his pants. He softly tastes my lips. And taste really is the correct word for that because it feels like he's tasting a fruit. He did not kiss that Alicia girl like that. But the kiss only lasts about 20 seconds. Then he pulls away. Leaning his forehead on mine he whispers: "I didn't even last a day." And louder: "this never happened. And it won't ever again. I don't cheat." Then he leaves. Leaving a messed up me behind.
