You're still not here.

You're getting me worried.

I don't even have the balls to text you.

How pathetic.

I can't help but sigh.

My boss looks at me weirdly.

I can't look at him.

Not because I know he'll ask what's wrong,

But because of the flaming pink apron he has on.

Seriously dude,

You're too obsessed with pink.

I shake my head as I look at him,

Risking it.

I'm right.

He asks what's wrong.

I know he means well.

As I'm about to tell him it's nothing,

He interrupts me.

"I know it's about that handsome boy that came by a few days ago."

I freeze,  blood running cold.

Shit.

I look away as he laughs and my face reddens.

"How-"

"It's quite obvious! "

I huff as I look back at him.

"H-hes just a customer.. "

Shit did I stutter...?

I give up as I see the intense stare he gives me.

As I take the customers order that just came up,

I start explaining the situation.

He listens carefully,

Like always.

He's always listened.

He's like my brother.

He's all the family I have.

As I finish,  he nods.

He stays quiet and I decide to drink some water.

"He's totally into you. "

I end up choking on the water.

As I try to catch my breath, 

I look at him.

He's smirking.

He may be family,

But I really wanna kick his ass right now.

"He's not,  shut up"

He shrugs and turns away.

"Whatever you say... But... You should text him.. "

I frown,

But I forgot he's the one that gave me his number.

I sigh.

He's right.

I spend the rest of the day contemplating.

Should I,

Or shouldn't I?

Fuck.

I really don't know.

As my pink loving boss and I start closing,

I take out my phone.

I look for your contact.

I press on the message option.

I start typing.

30 minutes later,

I'm still standing behind the counter.

Typing.

Deleting.

Typing.

Deleting.

What the fuck am I going to say?

I groan and look up to see my boss staring.

Amused.

I look away,

Embarrassed.

He laughs as he locks up.

I grab my stuff.

We walk out the back together.

He pats my back as we go separate ways.

"Text him."

He smiles and walks away.

I watch before walking the other way.

I stare at my phone and let my finger hover the send button.

I sigh as I press a few buttons before finally pressing one last one.

Are you sure you want to delete it?

Yes/No

Yes.

I sigh as I look up at the moon.

How pathetic.
