Bittersweet

Chapter 10

My heart sinks and my breath is out of my lungs. This couldn't be. Gizelle turns around and follows my gaze. She gasps lightly. I nod back.

Towards the back of the café, close to the emergency exit, sat Caleb and Rabecca. 

Rabecca was sitting next to Caleb on the couch. Her legs were draped over Caleb's and his hands were running along her legs. They were facing each other and Caleb began to lean in...

Gizelle pulled me roughly and brought me to sit on a table, far enough for them not to see us but close enough for us. 

Judging by the fact that there drinks no longer had smoke coming off the top, I would say they have been like that for twenty minutes tops.

Gizelle and I sat back down and waited for about ten minutes, giving them privacy. Then we turned around.

Finally.

Rabecca stood up and fixed her shirt and jeans. She raked a hand through her hair while taking a look around the café to see if anyone caught them 'in the act'. Caleb fixed his hair from the couch while grinning up at her. She sat down next to him and he snaked a hand around her waist.

Caleb has a little lipstick on the corner of his mouth. She took her drink and took a sip out of it. I really need to talk to the person that made their drinks. What is in them? I thought to myself.

Gizelle was sipping on her coffee and I was still watching them. There was a wall right beside me, so I hid behind it and observed. I felt a hand tap my shoulder so I turned around.

"Ana, what the hell was that?!" She said.

"Elle, I don't know." I said taking a look back at them. They were looking at each other, with such lust, I looked away.

"Are you okay?" Gizelle asked, worrisome.

"Why wouldn't I be? I just caught my friend, who just so happens to be my crush, with a girl-- who just happens to despise me for an unapparent reason, kissing in the back of a café, which I happen to watch the whole thing go down. Ya I'm perfectly fine." I finish my overly sarcastic rant with a shrug. Gee gives me a smug look and I exhale.

"I don't know Elle, I shouldn't be feeling like this. I have no claim on him. He isn't mine, so I don't have a valid excuse to be jealous." I said.

"Shit! they're coming our way." Gizelle shouted in a whisper. My face definitely lost it's color.

"Act natural!" I said and laughed a little at how crazy we are. Gizelle put on sunglasses while I pulled my chestnut hair out of the messy bun and threw it over my right sholder for them not to recognise us. We giggled as they passed by.

Caleb had his hand on the small of Rebecca's back, the other hand holding his cup. Her short hair is no longer down, it's in a ponytail reaching her sholders. She had her drink in one hand and a phone in the other. 

Before they stepped out the door, Caleb hit her butt. Gizelle and I burst laughing. She slapped his chest with the hand that was holding the phone. They laughed their way through the door.

My heart shattered with every movement they made. I didn't notice that I stopped laughing.

I don't know why I'm getting this emotional. It usually takes more then that to make me break down. I guess this just hit me right.

"Let's get you out of here." She said pulling me up to stand and handing me my untouched coffee.

"Wait." I told her and made my way to the cash register. I was not going to stay quiet. I need my revenge.
