Chapter 19 ; I Doubted Him
London's Pov
I read it and I figure that I need time to think about it, if I get back with him I don't want to make the wrong choice and get hurt again, so I decided to go to Starbucks and think about it before I take any big steps
-*-
I get to Starbucks and go up to the Cashier
"Hello, I'm Jones and I will be at your service today, how may I help you?"
I sigh and let out a small smile which hurt me "Uh may I have a Caramel Flan Frappucino?"
"Size?"
"Uh.... Venti"
"Anything else ma'am?"
"No thank you"
"No, thank you, your total is 5.26 without tax, with tax the total comes up as 5.32"
"Thank you again, Jones" I fake smiled at him again
He went to the back, and started making it, but before, I saw him writing something on my cup, I raised my eyebrow but didn't over think it
After a minute or two he returned with my drink
"Thank you and have a nice day" I said while he wrote something on my receipt too, I again didn't think much about it
"Have a nice day" he responded and called next
I found a seat in the corner, in a booth and sat alone without a sound
After a while, I thought about it and looked at my cup to see what he wrote
Smile, you're beautiful
it said in fancy cursive writing
Then, I looked at my receipt and it said
A real smile, not the fake one you gave me earlier
and, just that sentence brightened up my mood, so that I had an actual, genuine smile on my face.
Until someone caught my attention, "Excuse me, but there are no more available spaces would you mind if I sit here and accompany you?" The boy asked, and I lookede up at him. He was absolutely breathtaking, brown messed up hair, which actually looked nice, and nice sparkling brown eyes that are shining at the moment, he was wearing a dark blue button down, and black jeans with a pair of black vans.
Cute and Polite, how nice "Uh... Sure I guess" I spoke
"Thank you, and thank you" he said
"Why double thank yous?"
"One for calling me cute and polite then the second ones for letting me sit here"
"W-what are you talking about?" I stutter turning tomato red
"Nevermind" he smiles widely flashing off his pearly whites
After a while of talking about random things, he had to go and left me his number, surprisingly he's really cool and I think we'll become really good friends. After he left I sat there thinking, should I forgive Aiden?
I don't think so, because he knows how hurt I've gotten in the past, and he goes and does that. Although, I never actually gave him a chance to explain, what if I let him explain himself, before pushing thinfgs further, or should I say, backwards.
I'm broken out out of my thoughts when one of the people I really dont want to see right now catches my attention "Hey, London" he greeted me
I inwardly groan, I have got to find a way to leave here fast "Oh, hey Mason"
"What brings you here?"
Riding camels dipshit, what else do you do at a coffee shop? I wanted to answer, but the smart educated person in me took this as a chance to get away "uh, I was just leaving its getting late and I'm pretty tired" I yawn into my closed fist
"Oh, well I guess I'll see you around then" he stated sadly, I almost felt bad. key word : almost but, I didn't.
"Yea, see you around" I said getting up from my seat and walking out of Starbucks with my cup in hand and a frown imprinted on my face
On my way back to the Motel, it started raining, not just drizzling, but pouring rain. The type of rain that makes you want to take a nap, the one that piddle paddles on the window repeatedly. Oh how I wish that I was at home, but I'm not gonna tell Aiden that.
I took opportunity of this hard pouring rain, and cried silently, only sniffling occasionally. People would pass by me and not notice my cries, since I was soaked in water it looks no different.
I get to the motel's lobby so I could check in, and now it was Brooke there "Welcome to the Motel Si-" she started but when she saw me she stopped "Oh, hey London" she finished off
I would've waved, but that seems rude to me. So, I used my hoarse voice, and responded "hey"
She furrowed her eyebrows together "have you been crying?" she didnt even wait for my answer "Yes you have!" she said getting out from behind the desk
"Is this because of a boy?" she held my face in between her hands and looked deep in my eyes, almost like staring into my soul, I didn't even have to answer cause she already knew my response "Ooh it is" she frowned, most likely at my appearance. I haven't seen myself yet, but I can tell, without looking that I look like Donkey Ass.
"Come here" she motioned me toward the couches that are in the lobby and patted the seat next to her so I could sit.
After I sat, she started telling me a story "Not all guys are douches, you just have to find the right one, like there was this one guy I found at the supermarket, he was so cute and nice. He hit the back of my foot with his cart while he was looking the other way, he drove me home and helped me disinfect it. He even let me hold on to his shirt, but my lipstick got on it by mistake, and he rushed out before I could mention it to him or even help him clean it up. What a nice boy he was, and cute" she finished off smiling and my mind flashed back, Aiden had red lipstick on his shirt on Saturday when he came back from the supermarket.
Trying not to sound so interested and nosy I asked "When was this?"
"Uh..." she put on a thinking face "Saturday"
Must just be a Coincidence "Oh, did he ever get to give you his name? he seems nice" I tried not to sound like a nosy neighbor but I couldn't help it, get me the tea and cookies, kill me, im curious
"Yea, he said his name was Aiden, such a cute nname for a cute guy" she smiled even bigger
Okay, coincidence my ass, it was him. He wasn't cheating, he was helping out Brooke. I shouldn't have doubted him, gosh I'm hating myself right now.
I try stopping my feet from walking before I say bye "Uh, thanks for the help but I gotta go now" I said smiling
"Oh, sure. See you around London" she smiled
After walking out, I walked to my room and packed my things, not yet taking them with me, I walked out into the rain once again and since it was after three, I knew he was home. I ran home and slowly opened the back door because I knew it barely makes noise. I saw Aiden on the couch with his head in his hands and I heard sniffles and sobs, hearing him cry makes me want to cry. but, Instead I walked up in front of him, lifted his head and jumped on him, straddling him on the couch. After a couple seconds, our lips met and moved in a synchronized motion.
After a couple minutes, we pulled away because we were out of breath but I still said what I had to before breathing
"I'm sorry I doubted you"
Well, sorry it's kinda a filler, but you can't say I didn't update.
ANTIWHORE
I cant believe I have 1k reads, I honestly never thought so many people would read this book.
- XOXO A very happy Stefy
