"Yeah, and I'll have the vente iced chai tea latte with a pump of hazelnut," Kayleighn stood in front of the cashier and Starbucks with Ethan by her side. She looked down and reached into her back pocket for her wallet. "Oh, and a cake pop, chocolate."
"2 of those," Ethan added, Kayleighn opened her wallet and pulled out a twenty dollar bill to give to the cashier. Ethan lowered her hand before the cashier could get the money. "Hey, I got this one."
"Oh, you don't have to--"
"I'm serious, it's on me." Ethan smiled down at Kayleighn, she smiled back and nodded placing her wallet back in her pocket.
"Thank you," she whispered. Ethan opened his wallet pulling out his Discover card and handing it to the petite brunette behind the counter, she swiped the card and punched numbers into the screen before handing the cards back.
"Your order will be to the left here," she motioned to her right and Ethan thanked her. They walked over to the next window while the chaser continued to take orders. Ethan leaned his elbow and to the table and flashed Kayleighn the kind of bright smile that could light a small village but still make you feel safe, he would have any girl falling into his arms by this point, but Kayleighn. He let out a deep sigh.
"So, Kayeighn. What is your story?" She chuckled looking down at the counter for a second then reverting her attention to the drinks that were slid on the counter along with the bag that contained the cake pops. Ethan grabbed both drinks and handed Kayleighn her drink. She grabbed the cake pop's and they adjourned to the table next to the window after grabbing their straws and napkinns.
"I don't really think I have much of a story," she said bringing her dink up to her lips.
"Y'know, I don't believe that for one second," Ethan smirked causing Kayleighn to giggle. "Where'd you go to college?"
"Actually, I'm still a sophomore so..."
"What!"
"I'm...just kidding. I actually grew up in England, Cheshire. Moved to Connecticut here in 5th grade. Graduated from NYU with my doctorate degree and now I work at the hospital as a nurse." She summarized, Ethan hesitated for moment.
"So...anyone special in your life?" Kayleighn smiled looking down at her lap and fiddling with there straw.
"Yeah, my uh, husband Harry. We met in 7th grade," Ethan nodded disappointed by her answer. "There was this girl, her name was Lucy Duname, she was being a complete bitch, teasing me because I had no tit's so Harry got his Kool-Aid and poured it over her head down her shirt causing the tissues in her bra to go flat. Somehow we both got 3 weeks of detention and we've been inseparable. But now he's off, god know's where fighting for the greater good."
"What?" Ethan questioned confused by her last statement. Kayleighn giggled.
"He's in the air force, for the last 7 months actually."
"Oh," he bit his lip trying to stop his grin.
"You're smiling."
"I'm not smiling." She grabbed the bag containing the cake pops, taking both she handed one to Ethan. "So, 7 months?"
"Yep." Ethan's eye's widened chuckling a little resting his finger on his lips.
"Don't take this the wrong way but...are you saying that you have not...'been' with anyone in 7 months?" Kayleighn nodded slowly. "No, shit."
"So what about you," she took a bite looking back at him.
"Huh?"
"What do you do?"
"Oh, I'm a web designer," Kayleighn hummed not fully understanding what he meant. "I work with companies that want websites built and I just do it for them."
"Could you make me a website?
"I could, but you have to pay me," she laughed causing Ethan to follow.
"Anyone special in your life?" Ethan gave her a look she couldn't quite place. Ethan licked his lips and leaned back in his chair.
"No uh, dating's not really my thing." Kayleighn raised her eyebrows.
"Oh, really."
"Yeah," there was a moment of awkward silence where they both sat sipping on their drinks and nibbling on the cake pops. "Is it to early for me to ask why you were crying in front of a federal prison."
"Yes," Ethan nodded taking another sip of his drink averting his attention to the street, Kayleighn sighed. "I went to visit my brother," she started Ethan immediately turned to look back at her. "I hadn't seen him in 3 years because I...I'm kinda the reason that he's in there."
"Shit."
"Yeah, it didn't go all that well." Ethan sighed noticing Kayleighn's glum expression.
"Do you wanna go for a walk? Y'know, get some air."
"Yeah, yeah let's go," they grabbed their drinks throwing out their wrapper's and napkins. Kayleighn stood up, pushing in her chair. Ethan waited for her before placing his hand on her lower waist leading them both out the door.
"Play any sports?" Ethan questioned loudly over the sounds of honking cars and conversating pedestrians.
"I played volleyball all through out high school and my freshman year of college."
"Why'd you stop?"
"Well, I still play a little but I never really found the time. What about you?"
"I was on the soccer team for my first 2 years of highschool then baseball my senior year."
"Nothing your junior year?" Kayleighn asked confirming her assumption.
"Yeah, my girlfriend at the time got really protective over me and my main concern just turned to her but when we broke up...y'know." the two continued to learn about each other while walking down the street. Ethan paused in the middle of the side walk causing Kayleighn to turn her head. "This is my apartment."
"Oh," she walked up to Ethan and smiled. "Well thank you for the coffee, I owe you one." She turned and began to walk down the street shocked by what she had done.
"Where the hell are you going," Ethan called out, Kayleighn turned and walked back to Ethan. "You know you can come in right?"
"I don't know if I should," she shrugged.
"Still convinced I'm gonna murder you?" Ethan joked. "C'mon, one cup of water, you can even throw it in my face" Kayleighn sighed nodding slowly.
"Okay, one drink." Ethan nodded leading the way into his apartment.
"Fair warning about my roommate, he might come on a little strong but trust me he's completely sane, just a little quirky." Kayleighn giggled.
"How quirky are we talking?"
"I'll let you decide that on your own."
A/N I know this was a boring chapter I just wanted to catch up on what happened with Kayleighn and Ethan so this was sort of like a tell all chapter. Okay thanks for reading
