The Bad Boy's Angel

Chapter 5

Nathaniel's POV

There she was. She was sitting right across from me. That allowed me to look at her features. Her brown wavy hair rested on her shoulders. Her long eyelashes. Her cute button nose. Wait what?! Did I say that about a girl I don't even know?

Wyatt was the one who broke our trance. I look at him and he has a stupid evil smirk. I already know what he is thinking. I don't know if I can save myself but it is worth trying.

"Wyatt wipe that stupid grin off your face," I said in annoyance. Wyatt's grin just grew even bigger. I sighed. Well here goes nothing.

"So.. who is she," Wyatt asked.

"Nobody Wyatt, "I answered.

"Well with the way you were staring at her. It didn't seem like she was a nobody. I can see your future with her with how long you were staring. Future wedding. Future kids even" Wyatt teased.

"Wyatt. It was like a 5-second stare. " I said.

"What happened to Mr. Girls are too much drama and I'll just stay single?" he said. Ryder even chuckled. Like what the hell man? Ryder is usually neutral in most conversations.

I just laid my head down in defeat. There's no winning against that guy. There is only so much bullshit I can deal with this early in the morning.

"Don't think by putting your head down. You can avoid this conversation Nathan" Wyatt said.

I just was about to argue back when Chris came with our food. "Alright, guys. I have your order here" He said.

He laid our food in front of us. And once he got to me, I was expecting to see waffles and chicken. But, instead was met with a strawberry and banana French toast. I look to see Wyatt and Ryder. They got their food correctly. So it's just me with the messed up order.

I was about to call Chris over to let him know. When I heard a soft voice speak up.

Grace POV

I can't believe that I bumped into the same guy twice. And now he is sitting across from us. We stared at each other. I think we were both surprised to see each other again.

He looked like he had just woken up but that didn't take away from him. He had short brown hair. I think I saw some tattoos as well.

"Just our luck to bump into the asshole again," Riley said. Nova nodded in agreeance.

"It's fine guys. Maybe he was in a rush" I tried to reason with them.

"No matter what, he could have just apologized. It's the right thing to do" Nova said.

Well, there's no denying that.

Chris had stopped by our table "Hello ladies, I have your orders here".

He laid our orders in front of us. Once he got to me, I was met with chicken and waffles. Nova and Riley look at my food with confusion. He helped the table across from us. Giving them their food as well.

"Excuse me, Chris," I said trying to get his attention. He turned around and looked at me. "Sorry to bother you but this isn't my order. I got the French toast" I said. Chris looked at the other table and something clinked in his head.

"I'm sorry about that. It seems that I mixed your orders. I can make you a fresh one if you want to " he said.

"Oh no, that's too much trouble. I'm fine with just switching. I don't know about him though" I said.

"I'm fine with switching," Mr. Dark Eyes said. I named him that for his dark eyes. It's just a placeholder.

"Thank you guys. I'm sorry about that. It's been a busy morning "he said. He helped us switch the orders and left to help other tables. And in front of me was my French toast. YAY.

I was curious about his dish. Chicken and waffles. I understand waffles. But, chicken for breakfast? I look to see Nova and Riley eating their food. Gushing over how good it is.

I shouldn't bug him but my curiosity got the better of me.

"Excuse me," I said to him. He looked over at me. Almost surprised to see me once more. But he nodded acknowledging me. That's a good sign, right?

"I'm sorry to bug you. But, I couldn't help but ask. Is chicken and waffles good?" I asked. I'm a little embarrassed now. Maybe I should have just stayed quiet rather than bug him.

"Oh, Ms. Grace" I glance at Riley and see her with a big grin. I can already feel the teasing coming my way. But I focus on Mr. Dark's eyes.

"In my opinion, This is pretty fucking good. You should try it. Excuse my language. "He said.

"Well with the way you are hyping it up. I will give it a try next time" I said with a smile.

He returned a smile at me.

"Oh, I'm Grace. I thought I should introduce myself since we keep bumping into each other" I smiled.

"The name is Nathaniel but I go by Nathan. Yes, it seems we keep bumping into each other. Also, I want to say sorry for bumping into you earlier and leaving. That was very douche of me" he said.

"It's alright. It happens sometimes. I'm sorry that I have taken so much of your time. Enjoy your meal." I said.

"Enjoy your meal as well Grace, "he said.

Oh my. He said my name. I have heard my name millions of times but the way he said just hit differently. I look up to see Riley with the same grin. I sighed.

"Riley, I'll tell you everything once we get to the dorms" I said. Riley just giggled and continued to eat her food. I finally ate a piece of my French toast. And it was heaven on a plate. I can see the hype around Tracy's now. We enjoyed our food. And spoke about our upcoming semester when we were interrupted by a voice.

"Hi, sorry to bother but would you ladies be interested in going to a party"
