Fools • Reylo AU {ON HOLD}

Chapter 7 • Somebody To You

A/N: title and chapter inspired by "Somebody To You" by The Vamps

Rey woke up the next morning happier than usual. It doesn't seem like much at first but if you listened very carefully you could hear her quoting Shakespeare in the shower.

"A crutch, A crutch! Why call you for a sword?"

Rey then switched sides, deepening her voice.

"My sword, I say! Old Montague is come, and flourishes his blade in spite of me."

She switched back around, the warm water hitting her back once again. The recitation didn't start up again for Rey erupted into giggles that she never thought she'd be capable of.

What is wrong with you?

The laughter consumed her body once again as the drops of water dribbled down her face and body.

•{•}•

The book was clutched tightly in her hands, as if she feared that someone were to come and take it from here.

There was definitely something wrong with her.

Definitely.

Rey went to the sink splashing her face several times with water.

"What..."

She splashed her face.

"Is wrong..."

The splashes continued.

"With you?"

She slammed her fists down. It seemed to have worked for the time being for Rey finally walked downstairs to get her shift started.

"You can do this...what happened this morning was nothing..."

She pulled the apron over her head, taking a deep breath and heading out to face the day.

Or in other words an impatient Kylo.

"What are you doing on?"

The nerves seemed to have started up again."

"Luke came back today."

"So? You're his TA right?"

She avoided eye contact, wiping a damp rag against the already clean counter top.

"Yeah I am."

"Then shouldn't you be over there working?"

Ren shook his head.

"Why not?"

"He let me take a break today."

"Oh."

She continued to scrub at the counter top harshly the nerves in her stomach seemed to get worse.

"Do you want your book back?"

"Yeah I'll have that along with a coffee."

"I'll be right back."

Rey ran to the back and saw a concerned looking Jess. She was a new worker at Niima Outpost, her first shift was today.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. You see the man out there?"

"You mean the mysterious hot one?"

Rey sighed, "yes. Can you bring him coffee."

"Sure but, are you okay?"

"Just peachy. Look I just n-need a breather okay?"

"Sounds cool."

As soon as Jess turned away Rey ran up to her room, placing her hands to her face.

"What is going on with me?"

She spotted his book on the desk and took it down, holding it in her grip. Soon her eyes seemed to narrow and with that she flung it against the wall.

"Stupid Romeo and Juliet. Stupid, book."

She picked it up and placed it outside the door. Rey walked back into the bathroom and splashed water back onto her face, trying to wash away the red in her cheeks and settle the nerves in her stomach.

A few moments later she walked out the door and picked up the book, giving it one last glance.

•{•}•

"Here's your book."

"Thank you." He tried to smile at her but Rey had cast her head back down.

"You're down for Lesson 3 today right?"

"Look...I," she looked up to face him. "I can't do it tonight."

"Oh I see," Ren took the last sip of his coffee. "I should be heading back now."

"I guess so."

And with that he was gone.
