Olivia's P.O.V.
Today I start my new job at a coffee shop. It's my first one. I have just graduated high school and am taking an English class at the community college 15 minutes away from my house. I suppose it'll be fun, but I'm sort of lonely since I don't know anyone, all of my friends went away to college, I'm stuck in this boring old town. I walk into the quaint coffee shop, it seemed like a shop you would find in the 50s, lots of pastel colors. A girl with dark brown, shoulder length hair, was wiping the counter. She was wearing a long sleeved gray sweater, which was odd because it was almost summer time. I walked up to the counter.
"Um, I'm the new employee?" I said, making it sound like a question. Her brown eyes looked up from her work, "oh! You must be Olivia! Hi, I'm Nia." she said, extending her hand out.
"Hi, Nia." I shook her hand, I could already feel my face heating up.
"I'm the owner's daughter, I've not really been working here too long, but it's not too hard. I'll help you get started!" she told me, waving me to the back. She showed me the break room and where everything was. She told me it was a slow day, and that most days were slow, and we would have the same customers. Mostly we sat behind the counter and talked. She was very calming. It felt like we had exchanged life stories by the time closing came around.
"So you sing, and play guitar?" She asked me, locking the cafe's door.
"Yeah, I dabble in it I guess."
"I sing a bit, and play drums too. Maybe we could hook up and do something together?"
I must admit it, I had formed a little crush on this beautiful girl, and when she said 'hook up' I instantly thought dirty things.
"Oh uhm yeah sure that'd be great." I was instantly flustered.
"Can I have your number then?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, oh yeah." I said taking her phone and putting my number in. I sent myself a quick text so I would get her number on my phone.
"Where do you live? I could walk you home?" she asked almost anxiously.
"Just about 5 minutes down the block, but why don't we stop by the park."
"The park? Why?" she asked fidgeting with her sweater sleeves.
I smiled, "just come on," and I pulled her hand along. We were walking together, and it was near dark. Our hands were swinging by our sides, but we were next to each other. I grabbed her hand and interlocked out fingers. For a second she wanted to pull away, but she didn't. I looked over at her, she seemed scared, not as confident as she was all day. I smiled at the sight though, she looked scared and I wanted to protect her. I swear I have fallen in love with this girl and already hear wedding bells in my head. Olivia stop it, she probably has a boyfriend. The minute I thought about her having a boyfriend, I dropped her hand.
"Why did you let go?" her voice almost trembled.
"I just um," I paused, "didn't think your boyfriend would approve."
"I didn't mention a boyfriend all day, why would you think I had one?"
"I don't know, you're so beautiful and all, and I just thought." I said trailing off.
"Well don't think." And she grabbed my hand again.
I continued the way to the park, and by the time we reached the park, it was dark. There were spotlights on the playground.
"Come on!" I yelled and dropped her hand, and started running to the swings.
"Oh, um, I think I'm gonna head home. Have a nice night." She turned to head home.
"Nia, wait." she stopped. I ran to her. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, I just wanted to have some fun."
"No, it's fine. I need to go. Goodnight, Olivia." she pecked me on the cheek really fast and turned around and sped walked off. I stood there flabbergasted. Why did she kiss me, and what is she hiding? I walked home and pondered all night until I fell asleep.This is a rough draft, will probably go through some editing, I don't know how long this story will be. But it is a self harm fanfic incase you didn't know, the next part will probably be triggering, but I will probably put a trigger warning. -Olivia xx
