On a fine day here I am, sitting in the starbucks, that super mini one that's fifty killometers out west. It's just an average old day for me. No one really comes here, but we have a small gang of regulars. There's Cas by the window, staring outside acting all mopey, guess his date didn't end that well. Joe, as per usual, is just reading a book. I try to peer over and find out what it is she's reading. As I look I can make out the words "Fifty Shades of..." before I realize what it is. Man, you don't read that kind of stuff in public! Geez...
This is my day-to-day routine really, I don't have many real friends, I work part-time in retail to help cover my university costs. I'm studying to be a buisinessman, so I have some maths, some english, bit of french. Oh and psychology! It's my favorite class and we're studying some really trippy stuff! Just the other day our teacher told us something super cool! He said that everything we decide to do, even down to what we decide to drink, could change our future. I don't really beleive that getting a decaff or not could decide who the next Stephen Harper is, but it's still a cool idea.
Oh, looks like I'm out of latte. I head up to the front and try to decide what to order. I haven't had anything with caffeine in it for a long time now. Maybe I should give in and get myself a grande black-black. I decide just to get myself an ice cappuchino, those things are to die for!
I sit back down and start browsing facebook. Rob Bohr just poked you. Latisha Bootylicious is married to Alex Swagswagswag InDahBag. Man why did I ever friend Alex, he's such a douche. Oh look, fifty million people are showing us what they're eating for lunch. Wow, so important! Not! Man, I should totally have gotten a Grande black-black, I'm starting to get tired here. Maybe I should rest my eyes, just for a minute...
Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!
Hey, woah, what? It's like three-ish... No one but Joe, Cas, the staff and I are here around now usually. I mean, this isn't exactly the best starbucks, or the most conveniant one to get to. So what gives, why come to this tiny starbucks in the middle of nowhere? Eh, I'm too tired to care any more, best get back to rest...
I hear a tiny unfamiliar voice 'Umm... Hi there.... I, umm, like your shirt'
I start to wake up and stretch my arms
'Oh, yeah, Doctor Who, it's a great show isn't it?'
'Yeah, I...' her voice starts to diminish in to a wimper
'It's alright, I won't bite... Much' I say jokingly, trying to reassure her, she giggles a bit
'My favorite was Tom Baker'
'No way! He was mine too!'
We go on and on like this for a couple hours, discussing different TV shows and books and magazines. Eventually we start talking about ourselves and I learn that her name is Chamelia, but she likes being called Cammy. She just moved here for university and stopped by on the way into town. She had dyed her hair blonde but was considering changing it to black. I told her that it suited her, and she blushed. She's so cute when she blushes, she looks like a tomato! She seems to really have unwound, it turns out that she heard many bad rumours about the 'big city' from her parents back in Nebraska so she was a tad scared. At around 8:45 she told me she had to go check out her apartment, but she slipped me her number. Score!
A couple days later on friday I give her a call and we go see the new superman movie. It kind of sucked. I mean come on, where was the romance? And seriously, SO MANY PLOT HOLES! We decide that next time she'll pick the movie, and that's what happens. The next friday she gave me a call and we went to see a special showing of Lord of the Rings. It was awesome! The surround sound! The big screen! We kept doing this for a couple months.
Eventually, after working up some nerve, I call her with something different in mind,
'Oh hey Cammy, I was thinking, if you're not busy on saturday, would you like to, I don't know' I pause here and swallow my own breath 'G-go on a date, or something?' I hear a squee of joy and a sarcastic tone following up.
'Took you long enough! So where are you taking me?'
'I was thinking 'La Maison Rouge' if it's not too formal'
'Andrew, you're already low enough on money with all the movies you take me to, we can just go eat out!'
'Are you sure? I mean for a first date it doesn't seem that romantic'
'Yes I'm sure! I'll come pick you up at six, kay?'
'Alright, see you then!'
The date goes by fantastically! Throughout the next couple years we go out on three fairly high-profile dates, but about two dozen normal ones that always end up with us at her house. After three years we've moved in together, things have gotten pretty serious. I've finished my studies and I'm now working at a big corporation and, surely but slowly, I'm starting to get noticed. One night after getting a bonus I decide to take her out to 'La Maison Rouge' since I can afford it now. But little does she know I have a special surprised planned. After ordering some soup the waiter 'accidentally' spills it. I decide to go and help clean up and wouldn't you know? There was a wedding ring in the soup! Cammy was so surprised by this, you could hear her screech from miles around! Of cours she says yes, and we decide to go to hawaii for our honeymoon.
I've never been so happy in my entire life! I feel fullfilled, I feel like all of life is smiling down on to me.
And then I woke up.
Back to reality I go...
Nothing ever happening...
As I leave, I see someone enter.
She's never been to the store before, but I feel like I know her.
Hey, that's a nifty shirt she has there, it has Tom Baker on it, I loved him! But her blonde hair keeps getting in the way...
