Not So Clichè

chapter 5

//JADE'S POV//

The bell above the door of the little café jingled as we stepped inside, the warmth surrounded us. The café was small and cosy.

I glanced at him in front of me he was ordering his drink, the barista clearly interested in him. He didn't even seem to notice.

How am I going to cover this one? He's not going to believe that I had just had a bad day, I was too hysterical for that.

"What do you want to drink?" he said, interrupting me from my thoughts.

I didn't even notice he was speaking until I saw his lips move. God damn it I was staring at his bloody lips and by the way his lips pulled into a smirk I knew he had noticed. I just rolled my eyes and answered him: "I'll have a hot chocolate with whipped cream, chocolate drops, sprinkles and marshmallows please"

His left eyebrow raised, obviously questioning my order.

He repeated my order to the barista, who was batting her eyelashes, however she didn't look sexy she just looked as though she had something in her eye.

"Have you got something in your eye?" Harry questioned

She blushed, clearly embarrassed. I snorted. She sent me a death stare, to which i returned a sarcastic smile. She handed Harry our drinks and stormed off, as soon as she left I burst out laughing to which Harry just shook his head at me, his dimples showing as he smiled.

We sat on a table with two seats at the back next to a cackling fire. It was quiet, the quietness frightened me. It made me over think and worry about what just happened and the conversation that's quickly approaching.

"So...first thing first you never actually told me your name?"

"Oh, it's Jade" I smiled a half-hearted smile.

He grabbed my hand and kissed the top of it. "Nice to meet you Jade, I'm Harry"

This made me smile.

"What was wrong with you earlier?" he asked questionably. A concerned look on his face.

"Well, um, it's a long story"

"I have all day, love"

My heart began to race there was no way that I was going to get out of it. My palms were sweating. There's no way I want to go back and relive that time in my life. Over these past 3 years I've tried to forget it and switch off completely. Telling him now will ruin all of that.

"Um, it's nothing honestly"

His facial expressions told me that he wasn't convinced by my lie, but I think he could tell how uncomfortable I was so he dropped the subject.

"Okay, as long as you're sure" i nodded.

"So...Jade" he continued "what subjects are you studying at college?"

"Well obviously, maths. I'm also studying health and social care, sociology and english. What about you?"

He smiled "Obviously maths, history, music and english"

"Oh i didn't know you were musical" I cocked my eyebrow.

I don't know what it is but there has always been something which has drawn me to musicians, i think it's the way that whatever the personality of the individual they escape their life and put all their effort into their voice or their chosen instrument.

"That's because we don't really know anything about each other, love" he smirked at me "But we can quickly change that" he winked

"Well, lets get to know each other then" I winked back at him, two can play at that game. At first i think he was a tad taken a back by my forwardness. "So, do you sing or what instrument do you play?"

"I've played guitar ever since i was 5 years old, but i sing a little too, my voice isn't too bad."

"You'll have to show me some time" i winked

"Any time Jade" a smirk creeping onto his face. "Tell me about yourself Jade"

I didn't realise how long we had been conversing and discussing our personal lives and laughing until the manager told us it was closing time. Considering, i had only met this boy properly a few hours ago it was scary how comfortable i felt around him.

"Shit, I didn't realise the time, I have to be somewhere"

Without as much as a bye or a wave. Harry practically ran so fast out of the little café.

"Um...bye"

I thought he seemed genuine and nice when I was speaking to him. Shows that everyone else is right and he was rude, maybe my judge of character isn't as top notch as I thought.

I can't believe, I basically told that boy my life story. Minus the last 3 years of my life.
