I couldn't sleep again.
Why is it that you're always on my mind now?
I always tried to send you a text,
But couldn't find the right things to say besides that I miss you.
That is too much for someone I barely know,
Isn't it?
I opened today.
So basically I had no sleep.
At least I get out early.
I can catch up on sleep when I get out.
I rub the bruise on my eye.
It hurts,
But at least it is slowly going away.
As the hours slowly go by,
I feel my eyes starting to close.
It is too slow.
I feel someone shake my shoulder as I am laying my head on the counter as I stand.
I groan thinking it is my boss,
But then remember he is in the back in the office doing an order over the phone.
I frown,
But freeze when I hear a small chuckle.
I look up and feel my heart stop.
It's you.
I stare and you suddenly stop laughing as I look into your eyes.
Your eyes darken.
I shiver at the serious, angry look that appears in them.
Next thing I know you have ahold of my chin.
I flinch, trying to pull away, surprised by the contact,
But you hold on.
"Who did this?"
You sound beyond angry.
I avert my gaze to the floor.
"I fell- "
"Bullshit."
I can't help but notice the barely controlled anger in your voice.
I sigh and gently take your hand off my chin as I look at you.
I ignore the shock of energy it gives me as our skin makes contact.
I hold your gaze.
"It is nothing. Please leave it."
I can't help but beg.
I don't want you to know.
To know how pathetic I really am.
You stare.
I look away.
I hear you sigh a soft 'okay'.
I look back up at you.
You're suddenly smiling.
You apologize for not coming for a while,
You had a few exams you had to study for.
I was confused.
"why didn't you study here? It's pretty quiet."
You go quiet and look down before looking back up at me, cheeks red.
"it is, but there was a certain thing that would've kept distracting me."
I am confused,
But I let it go.
I ask what you would like,
Even though I already know.
You just smile and say what I already know it is.
I nod.
"I'll take it to you."
You thank me and go to your usual table.
I make your drink carefully for perfection.
I take it to you.
You're reading so I am careful to be quiet as I set it down in front of you.
You say a soft thanks before taking it,
Eyes still on the book.
I go back behind the counter to take the next customers order.
I can't help but stare at you the whole time.
Fuck, how can you be so perfect.
I try to distract myself from you,
But those days of not seeing you has left me deprived.
I need more of you.
I'm looking down when you call my name.
How can you saying it so casually be so damn sexy?
I look up and see you on the other side.
I frown and go up to you.
Before I can ask what is wrong you ask what time I get off.
Confused, I answer that today I get out early.
You suddenly have a face splitting smile.
"Let's go out after you get out of work."
I freeze.
Did you just...?
I find myself nodding, excitedly.
You laugh and ask when I get out.
I answer with the time,
Numb to what is going on.
You nod and tell me you'll come back to get me.
You leave before I can say goodbye.
I stand there.
Frozen.
My boss is next to me suddenly.
He has a huge smile.
"I saw everything."
I look at him wide eyed.
He laughs.
It hits me.
Shit.
I have a date with you.
Suddenly I don't care about the sleep I need to catch up on.
