Life As We Know It

Chapter six(:

I think I waited for Chris for a long long time. Maybe about an hour? I thought that I had gotten the time wrong, but I guess I didn't. It was exactly 7. I text him three times and he didn't reply. I called him twice and I got his voice mail. I finally gave up when it was 7:45. I got in my car, and went home.

On my way home, Chris finally called me back. I was nervous. Maybe, he was there and didn't see me.

"Hello?"

"Hey."

"Where were you today?"

"I didn't come."

I could feel the tears coming to my eyes.

"Oh."

"Yeah...sorry."

"Why?"

"I really didn't feel like coming."

"Bye Chris."

Him out of ALL people stood me up? Because he didn't want to come? Wow. I could feel anger and betrayal. I wanted to call him back and yell at him. But then I remember how Derek wanted to go out. I feel bad for making him my rebound, but hey he offered and my plans got cancelled. I hope he didn't have anything planned for tonight. If he doesn't, he does now(: I called him hoping he would answer.

"Hello?"

"DEREK!!!!"

"Uhh...Hey Jocelyn!"

"Do you have plans for tonight?"

"No ma'am."

"Well, you do now(:"

"Meet me at the cafe near  your house in 15 minutes."

"Alright, I will see you then Jocelyn(:"

I hung up the phone and my heart was racing really fast.  All of a sudden my phone rings again. It was Chris. "Hello?"

"Hey, I'm going to this pizza shop with some friends, you want to come?"

"No, see when you stand me up, I don't want to make more plans."

He was silent.

"Bye Chris."

I hung up the phone and erased his number, his messages, his voice mails, and his calls. I finally reached the cafe and waited till I saw Derek's black car. I finally saw it, and stepped out. I went  inside and sat down down at a table for two. I waited and waited and waited. I waited for about 10 minutes, and felt like yet again I would be stood up. I felt my cheeks get hot and tears fill my eyes, when the Waiter came up and asked me what I would like to eat and or drink.I ordered a mocha frappe with extra chocolate. And a piece of apple pie. He came back with my pie and mocha and I ate it sadly.

I heard a male clear his voice. I didn't look up. He said, "You know, it is a little rude to order your food whenever your guest hasn't even arrived yet."

I decided to look up, and it was Derek. I jumped up and squealed his name. I wrapped my arms around his neck and held on him for a long moment. I then let go and sat down. He Sat down across from me, and asked me why my plans were cancelled. I just told him that i was suppose to meet a good friend at the movies and they stood me up. He nodded and sipped his black coffee. 

We stared into eachother's eyes, and then he did something that I didn't see coming.
