Chapter 5

I threw my bag onto the floor ,causing most of the things inside it to fall out, and drop onto my bed, letting out a groan. Spending the day with Ethan was great, it was the most fun I have had in ages. If I forget the part where Leah came and ruined the quote on quote date, then I would say it was an amazing day. I look at my phone and see that I had received a message from Sahar saying she had gone out with Eric, meaning I have the apartment to myself.

I check the time and see that it's around eight. It was still light outside so I decided to go for a walk. I grab my black leather jacket and put on my white converses, then grab the spare keys and head out. A slight breeze brushes past me and I shut the door. It's a bit cold so I put my jacket on and start walking towards the café around the corner.  As I enter the café, the strong smell of caffeine enters my nose, which brings a warm smile to my face. As I am about to order I notice that the guy behind the counter looked very familiar, he had dark brown hair and light brown eyes, his face matched Ethan's, although he looks slightly older, a bit more attractive. Does Ethan have an older brother?

"Um...hello?" The guy behind the counter says looking slightly confused.

"Oh um sorry, I um... Hi." I say waking up from my day dream.

I can tell he knows I'm embarrassed because his expression changes from confused to amused.

"Are you going to order or just stand there and stare?" He smirks.

"I...um..." I feel my cheeks start to heat up and I get butterflies in my stomach.

He looks so hot when he smirks. He lets out a small laugh and the butterflies get worse. I quickly give him my order and try to cover my cheeks without making it noticeable, but he notices and lets out another small laugh which makes my cheeks heat up even more.

Once I had gotten my coffee I look around the café and decide to take a seat seeing as it was not too full. I sat on sear facing the window so my back is facing the guy behind the counter. After about twenty minutes, someone occupies the seat next to me. I look to see who it is and to my amazement I see the guy behind the corner.

"How long are you here for?" He says breaking the awkward silence.

"Excuse me?" I say, confused by his question.

"How long are you in America for? Your clearly British, so I'm curious as to how long your here for." He says with a small smile. Oh no! The butterflies are back!

" Oh, um... I'm here for two months." I say trying to stop myself under control.

" I'll see you around, butterfly." He winks, gets up and leaves the café.

There goes that conversation. My heart drops and I start to melt in my seat. Wait, he just called me butterfly. Did I say I had butterflies out loud?!  Well there goes my dignity. I quickly get up and run home as fast as I can. When I get to the apartment Sahar and Eric are sitting on the sofa watching some weird TV program about some duck or something.

"Oh my God! Oh my God! Guys guess what just happened!" I say running into the living room.

"Oh oh let me guess! Did you buy us a kitten? Please tell me you bought us a kitten! What breed is it? Oh oh is it a fat tabby cat named George? I really hope it is a-"

" No, Sahar no it's not a cat." I say interrupting her. She looks disappointed and starts to pout.

"I think someone met a cute guy." Eric says raising an eyebrow.

"He's so hot, and he looks like Ethan, but way hotter and older." I say with a dreamy expression.

"Ethan is pretty hot, If only he was gay." Eric sighs. I quickly awake from my day dream when I realise what Eric said. Obviously by my surprised expression Sahar says

"Oh yeah, Danielle, Eric is gay so stop shipping us!"

My jaw drops. All this time I thought Sahar had a boyfriend but turns out he's gay. At least now I have someone, other than Sahar, to seek a boy advice from. After a few minutes of talking, I started to feel a bit tired, so I decided to head to bed and get some sleep. After I had put on my pjs and gotten into bed I receive a text from Ethan. He asked me if I wanted to go out for dinner but I wanted to go back to the café to meet the guy behind the counter. I lied and said I was going to spend the day with Sahar and asked if we could go the day after, he was fine with it.

I started to feel extremely tired so I turned my phone off, put it on my side table, turned of my light and went to sleep, well I tried. The word 'butterfly' kept going through my head.

*The next day*

My eyes slowly open as the sun seeps/streams through the opening of my blinds. The sound of birds tweeting meet my ears and the smell of the rose bushes outside meets my nose. I never noticed all these small details before, I don't really know why find these things interesting lately. I jump out of bed and get in the shower quickly and put on a pastel yellow summer dress with beaded sandals and grabbed my small floral backpack. I decided to straighten my hair and put on a red lip. I look at my phone and realise that it's only nine in the morning so Sahar won't be up. I decide to write a note telling her I'll be back later. I grab my keys and head out. It's quite hot, but theres a slight breeze which makes me even more happy. When I arrive at the café I see the guy behind the counter serving some costumers when he glances into my direction and smirks which causes me to blush and get butterflies. I enter the café trying to act causal, pretending I didn't see him. I walk up to him so I could order.

" I knew you couldn't resist me." He says with a smirk on his face. My heart stops and my cheeks start to burn.

"Don't flatter yourself, I came for the coffee." I say attempting to hide the fact that my checks were bright red.

"Sure you did." His grin makes my heart skip a beat.

"Could I have an iced tea, please?" I say ignoring his reply.

"Sure thing, butterfly." He winks and heads to the back to make my tea.

I try my best not to let his response effect me but I can't stop the butterflies from filling my stomach. Five minutes later he comes out with my drink. He hands me my drink and walks off.

"Wait," he stops and turns to face me. "You forgot to charge me for my drink." I say.

"We're not open." He says pointing to the sign on the door that says 'closed'. When I look in his direction he's gone, I stand there confused. Why would he serve me if they're closed, and why would he not charge me? Still confused, I start to walk towards when someone grabs my hand which causes me to turn around. It's the guy behind the counter.

"I'm Blake by the way." He smiles.

"I'm Danielle." I say smiling back.

Staring into each others eyes, he pulls me closer to him, my lips inches away from his.
