Falling in love at a coffee shop

Chapter Seven (I guess)

Joanna was the first to wake up. It was almost ten.

She looked around the room, seeing everyone still sleeping.

Vera had a strange smile on her face, Chrissy looked peaceful, Bianca had a blank face, and Clara was mumbling something.

So, a perfectly normal morning.

"Hey! Wake up!" She called.

Everyone but Clara and Vera woke up.

"I've got this." Chrissy says, standing and walking into the kitchen. They hear the microwave and smell something good.

Chrissy walks back into the living room, with a plate of bacon.

She waves a piece under Clara's nose.

Clara opens her mouth and then her eyes when the bacon sits on her tongue.

"Best wake up call ever." Clara looks up at Chrissy, smiling.

Chrissy kneels in front of Vera, doing the same thing, but dodging the punch Vera throws.

The bacon is then passed out.

"Now that we're all awake, let's get coffee!" Joanna jumps up.

Chrissy laughs and everyone walks out the door.

"My baby! She's all gross!" Clara shouts and runs over to her motorcycle.

"You have an unhealthy relationship with that thing." Bianca shakes her head.

"This thing is my baby. And I've let her get way too dirty." Clara whines.

"Wash it later, then." Chrissy pats her shoulder and leads her away from the bike.

They walk the rest of the way in mostly a comfortable silence.

"Well, you ladies slept in this morning!" Zayn calls to them.

Looking around, the coffee shop is full of people, mostly students on their laptops.

They reach the front of the line.

"Are they doing homework? On a Saturday?!" Clara whispers, horrified.

"Most people like to get it done, Clary." Niall tells her, from where he's wiping down a nearby table.

"I get it done!"

"Yeah, five minutes before class starts." Vera says.

"So, the usual?" Zayn asks from the register.

"Yep. You know, I've never actually seen you guys work before." Clara jokes.

"That's 'cause you get here at the crack of dawn, sweetheart." Harry comes out of the back room.

"In my defence, you guys are open." She shrugs.

Zayn rolls his eyes and sets the coffee and tea on the counter.

"Are you sticking around or leaving?" Niall asks Vera, making puppy eyes at her.

"I think we'll stay a while." Vera smiles at him.

Bianca walks by and subtly shoves Vera into Niall.

Everyone else tries to hide their laughter, while Niall blushes and apologises.

"When d'you think they'll notice?" Zayn whispers to Chrissy.

"Probably around the same time everyone else does." Chrissy laughs, and drinks some of her tea.

They all sit at the table, and some students send annoyed looks their way.

One guy, actually walks up and sits down, stealing a chair from someone else. He basically screamed 'I'm an ass' with how he held himself.

"Hey. I'm-"

"A total douchenozzle who should leave?" Clara finishes.

"The guy of your dreams, actually. The name's Rev." He smiled and threw an arm around Clara's shoulders.

"Very nice, do you tell that to every girl whose pants you want into?" Bianca cuts in.

"Not all of them." He smirks and moves his hand lower.

"Don't. Touch. Me." Clara practically growls at him.

"Feisty. I like that." He winks at her.

"£5 she punches him." Joanna whispers to Vera.

Clara stands up, about to leave when Rev follows.

"Hey, baby where you going?" He tries to make another move, but Clara punches him in the nose.

"I said not to touch me."

"What the hell?" Rev shouts from where he's on the floor, holding his nose.

The boys all run over.

Harry picks him up by his shirt. "Time to take out the trash, then." He smiles over to Clara, and practically drags him out.

"Is everything alright?" Liam asks.

"Now it is. I can take care of myself, though. But, thanks anyway." Clara smirks and finishes her coffee.

"Vera owes me 5 pounds!" Joanna shouts.

"I never agreed to that bet. So, nope. You're still on your own." Vera puts her feet on Jo's chair.

"Damn you."
