x. breakfast

they both sat at the table awkwardly while the old 80's music played softly in the background. louis kept looking around as maybellene just looked down at her nails, picking at them. she always picks at them when she was nervous, and boy was she nervous.

"so", louis said, breaking the barrier of awkward silence, "what's your deal?"

"my deal?", she responded, confused.

"i mean, what are you about? who is the real maybellene?", he explained, looking at her.

"it sounds like your interrogating me.", she laughed making louis smile a bit. goddamn his smile, she thought to herself.

"well don't think of it like that.", he said, placing his arms on the table.

"well, my full name is maybellene opal if you must now. i'm 21 and i work at a bar.", she said, sipping the water glass the diner offered.

"a bar? you don't look like one who enjoys that scene.", louis said, confusion in his eyes.

she rolled her eyes. "yeah, everyone tells me that. but i do happen to enjoy it, thank you very much."

"i mean i never said it was a bad thing but okay."

maybellene laughed which made louis blush because he was proud that he was the reason for her laugh. he was gushing inside.

their waiter came and dropped off their meals; louis with the simple French toast and coffee while maybellene ordered the spiced omelette with iced tea.

the two are in silence; no conversing was shared at all. awkward laughs were shared when either one of them had food of their faces or if one of them started a mini staring contest. louis always won, but he was the one that always started them.

they quickly finished their meals. it was already 12 in the afternoon and the two had nowhere to be. maybellene tapped her fingers on the table as louis took out his phone.

he had gotten messages earlier but didn't bother to open them. they were from harry, all of them saying how the boys were at their flat and on how to bring toilet paper when he came back.

"quick question."

maybellene raised an eyebrow.

"do you want to go to my place?"
