It had been a day, and three showers later, and now my hair was a light blue color, less royal blue.
I pulled out my phone and texted Michael. 'Hey, I'm really sorry but I can't make coffee tonight, I've got to work late.'
No response.
I walked over to the bookstore, ignoring the stares from some of my coworkers, and grabbed Dracula, hiding myself in a corner and reading.
After many, many pages, I closed the book, finished.
I went to the employee locker room and braided my hair, staring at the color. I honestly had grown to like it a bit, but I was still apprehensive about Michael seeing my hair like that.
As I walked back out into the store, my eyes met Michael's and I turned bright red.
"Hey, Josie!" He ran over to me and handed me a cup of coffee. "You said you wouldn't be able to make coffee tonight, but I decided to bring you some."
I smiled, pushing a piece of hair behind my ear. "Thank you," I choked out, my stomach doing flips.
"Your hair looks nice," he said, his eyes looking me over.
I sighed. "T-thank you, my roommate had hairdye in the shower, and I honestly thought it was conditioner."
Michael laughed, thinking for a moment. "Is that why you cancelled on me?"
I laughed awkwardly. "How'd you know?"
"Oh, just the fact that you turned bright red the moment you heard me."
I sighed and nodded. "It looks stupid, doesn't it?"
Michael shook his head. "No, you look cute."
I laughed. "Maybe I will take you up on tonight, then."
Michael smiled. "How about the park?"
