Seven

It's been exactly one week since Eva . . . rejected me. I still see her everyday in the damn little cafe, but it's not the same. Everything is even more awkward, and it takes so much more coaxing to get her to sit with me.

Maybe she does have a boyfriend, she just doesn't want me to know.

Maybe she really does hate me.

Maybe she was just messing with me, trying to break my heart into trillions of tiny fragments.

With all of these unanswered questions, it feels like I'm free falling through the sky, with each question spinning me into an even more dizzy state oblivion.

I run the thoughts over in my head a countless amount of times, making my mind feel like a labyrinth of wonder and curiosity. 

"Louis, you've got a little something on your cheek." She tells me, and I wipe off the traces of my red velvet cupcake from around my lower cheek bone. I watch as they crumble to the table, some even making it to the floor.

I can't help but relate my feeelings to those unneeded crumbs.

"It's Lou, please call me Lou." I remind her suddenly, even though a good minute had passed sice my name had come from her mouth.

She sarcastically taps her index finger against her temple, as if in deep thought on wheather to agree or not, but does none-the-less.

Then it's just silence. Complete and utter silence. Nobody else seems to be talking, either, so maybe it's the air. A poison that swears everyone to muteness, just to make me feel uncomfortable.

I rather Eva and I teasing each other relentlessly than this horrible stillness, the unsaid words floating in our lungs, preventing even the shallowest of breaths.

"What- What bow can't be tied?" I spoke, earning her invaluble attention. Her eyes were wide, and a tiny, faint smile played on those delicate lips.

"A rainbow." She replied, laughter almost lingering in her voice. The happy kind of laughter. The kind of laughter i've missed.

"You know that one?" I question, knowing it will probably irritate her further. Which, I suppose, could be a good thing.

"Of course I do, Lou, I'm not that much of a social outcast that people don't tell me jokes." She rolls her eyes and I shrug.

What if she didn't mean what she had said that horrible day, one week ago? What if I-

"Why are you staring at me like that? It's kind of freaky." The words slip off her tongue, the sound of her voice drowning me in a sweet pain.

"B- because I-" My face turns red at the way my voice stutters, even though I should be used to it by now. How didn't I realize that I was straing at her heart shaped face, with peppermint eyes and perfectly red lips.

"Do you- do you like me? I mean, like-like me still?" She innocently questions, and my jaw drops in utter shock. She couldn't, she wouldn't- would she like me?

"Of course!" I yell a little too loudly, earning ignorant stares from the other customers. "Of course I do."

Before I could comprehend anything else, I felt soft lips collide with mine.

She was kissing me.

Here.

Now.

She was leaning across the small table and kissing me, in public. 

I felt her break off from the kiss, and I looked at her, trying to pout, but a huge smile winning instead.

"I''m sorry for rejecting you the other day, Lou. It was just a shock, and I needed some time." Her eyes were wide and expectant. "But, I think, I think I like you and your . . . jokes, if that's what you call them."

I opened my mouth to speak, but absolutely nothing came out, so, I nodded vigorously, causing my hair to jump and bounce like my head was a trampoline. 

I stood up from my seat, and shifted closer to her. I leaned in, so our foreheads were touching, and gently reconnected out lips.

How long have I yearned for the taste of her lips against mine, and to be able to hear the pitter patter of her heart. I reach my hand up to her face and tug at a lose strand of that lilac hair.

I don't care that she hates my jokes. I don't care that she probably hates me half of the time, either. I only care about right now, and the faint taste of vanilla on her smooth scarlet lips.
