Mr.Nogla (Daithi De Nogla)

part ten

Daithi's POV (finally)

Everywhere I went I saw her. In the supermarket, in the coffee shop. It was like the universe was pulling us together? No, that's too cheesy. I was sat in a café with my friend Craig when I saw her walk in. She was breathtaking.

I watched her walk in, my friend noticing how I stared at her when he asked who she was. "No one." I mumbled, turning away to look at my half empty mug of coffee.

"You were basically drooling, Daithi." He laughed. "You know her?" I simply nodded, followed by a shrug. "Wait, is that the girl you were talking about in the Skype?"

"Uhh.."

"She looks young, how old is she?"

"Uhh.."

"Does she work at your school?"

"Uhh.."

"Daithi, don't tell me."

"I mean.."

I picked up my mug, going to drink from it.

"Please tell me she's not a student."

Hearing the words from his mouth, I jerked my head away and spilt the coffee onto the table.

"Fuck!"

"Daithi you idiot! Ugh, oh she's looking right at us." He mumbled. "Honestly Nogla? She's cute but that's like illegal isn't it?"

"We aren't dating or anything, pervert!" I hissed at him, swiping my napkin from him to clean up my spill.

"Wait, so you've talked?" He questioned, his eyes fixed on her. I narrowed my eyes at him, kicking him under the table when he muttered something under his breathe.

"Who's the pervert now?" I glared at him, folding my arms before I turned away.

"You have, haven't you. You sounded so in love with this girl when you were going on and on about her. Evan and Tyler are pretty much planning your wedding already and Marcel was naming your children- and she's a student?"

"Senior." I rolled my eyes as I stared harshly down at my empty coffee mug.

"What do you expect, Daithi? That she's going to wait until she graduates to hook up with you then drop you again to go to college? You always get crushes on some strange girls.." He gave a sigh.

"It's not a crush." I quickly snapped back, realising what I said as he might take it out of context.

"Whatever." He sighed, getting up to get some more napkins. I heard the bell of the door go and turned, seeing her back turned to me as she took a step towards the door. She turned her head and our eyes connected almost immediately. I couldn't look away, I was mesmerised by her. She looked away, a blush creeping up on her cheeks yet she looked nervous.

After a few words with her friend they walked past the window and she looked in again. When our eyes met again, we both shared a smile. I knew then that it wasn't a crush. I was falling hard for Tabby.

My art student.
