HARD ENOUGH

The who now?

It was 8 'o clock on a Saturday by the time I woke up.

After my sister's little stunt yesterday, I drove straight home and ordered pizza for dinner and worked while watching a movie.

I brushed my teeth and walked into my kitchen to make my self some decent breakfast.

I made some pancake mix and put it aside and then the door bell rang. I walked towards the door and opened it to see an unfamiliar face.

"Miss Alex Hamson?" the 40ish guy standing outside asked.I look at him clueless and he speaks again,"You have a delivery"
"A what? I didn't order anything" I say trying to remember if I ordered something. "You didn't but Mr.Jordan Wills sent these for you" the man says and now four guys with eight different bouquets are standing in the hallway.
"The who now?" I ask and remember the man who my sister mentioned.
"I'm sorry, I can't accept these. And tell your boss I'm not interested in dating him" the man was confused.

"Well, I think you can leave now" I said and slowly shut the door.

I walked back into my kitchen as if nothing happened and laid my pancake batter on to the pan when the door bell rang again. I got angry thinking it was them again.

"I told you I'm not inter-" I yelled only to see Brad standing there "Woah, what was that?" he asked and I sighed "I'm sorry" I said walking back as brad shut the door. I saw that the pancake I made earlier was burnt.
I threw it in the trash.
"Why are you grumpy today?" he asked sitting on the kitchen stool.
"Well, I told about the guy my sister said I should date right? That guy sent me flowers and I said I wasn't interested and sent them back" I said as Brad was intensely looking at me as I was washing my hands.
"And now I don't have breakfast" I said throwing my hands in the air.
"Don't worry when Brad's here. Let's go down to the cafe."he said getting up from the stool. "Okay. Let me change" I said looking at my outfit.

"Fine"he said and walked into the living room and turned the TV on.

I went into my bedroom and changed into a pair of jeans and a plain t-shirt. I combed my hair and applied some lipbalm. I decided not to wear make up.
"I'm starving" I said grabbing my purse. "Me too" Brad said and we shut the door behind us.

We drove down to the Cafe that was a few blocks away. It was a small yet beautiful place. It was a place Brad, Lane, and I most frequented.

We sat at one of the tables and saw a familiar face walking towards us, "Alex! You're here. It's been long" the person said.

"It's nice to see you to,Janet!" I said.
Janet, a 25 year old, blonde bombshell is a worker at the delmonte Cafe.
"Brad came in last week but you didn't" she said " yeah, I've been busy" I said giving her a smile. "no problem.So, the usual" she asked looking at us. " Yup" Brad said.
And with a nod Janet left.

"So,when is Lane coming back?" I asked Brad placing my hands on the table. " I guess on Friday" he said nodding.
"You were saying something about a guy named Jake?" He asked. "I think his name is Jordan. And yeah,my sister wants me to go on a date with him for god knows why. I mean it's ridiculous" I say disgusted by her actions.
"This Jordan guy sounds like a business deal to me" Brad said and as I was about to say something Janet returned with our order.
"Here's your coffee with bagels" she placed them in front of me " And your coffee with blueberry muffins" she said placing them in front of Brad. "Thanks,Janet" we both say in unison.
"No probs" she says and leaves.

"Does Julie still think you're sleeping with me?" Brad asks taking a sip of his coffee. "Shut up, Brad" I say rolling my eyes and he laughs.

Brad made me laugh over something he went through last week at an art exhibit.
"What were you doing at an art exhbit?" I  asked clutching my stomach from laughing. " Free wine" he says and accidentally kicks the table a little to hard for my coffee on the edge to spill on my shirt.
"Shit! I'm sorry" Brad says still laughing. "It's Okay. I'll just wash it off" I say standing up and went to the bathroom.

After trying to wash it off, I walk outside still rubbing the stain off with tissues. Until I bumped into a wall or so I thought.
"Hey!" what seemed like a guy grabbed my shoulders. "Oh,I'm so sorry" I said as I looked up.

" It's okay,watch where you're going" he said and that was when I saw him smile. The kind of smile that makes your heart melt.
"Yeah,sorry" was all I could say until I think some guys I guess were his friends called him over.
He walked away. And I walked to my table where Brad was flirting with a random girl.

The rest of the day was pretty simple. Brad played video games at my place and I was editing some photos I took a week ago.
We ordered chinese food and watched 'The hangover' which according to Brad is the best movie in the history of the universe.

We both fell asleep on the couch like pigs.
