In the name of 'Friendship' [COMPLETED]

4: New begining

"Great things never come from comfort zones."

Its been almost two weeks since I started working at the café. Elena and I bonded over these days and needless to say she has become my bestfriend! We're completely different from each other. She's carefree and not afraid to speak her mind, I on the other end am a prisoner of my own thoughts.

"Oh come on Ash! Pleaseeeeee" Elena pleaded.

She wanted me to join her and few of her friends to a nearby club.

"You know I'm not great at making friends right? What if your friends don't like me?"

"Again with the negativity" she said rolling her eyes.
"You're coming and thats final" she added.

"Alright okay. There's no point in arguing with you. I'll be there"

"Yayyy. I'll meet you at the bar arround 8, cool?"

"Okay"

The entire café was filled with people. A group of teenagers were playing truth or dare, an old couple fighting over the amount of sugar in the coffee, a couple; I presume were on their first date and two guys commenting on all the girls that walked into the café. Typical. It was a busy day. Saturday's we get many customers. More of teenagers. Weekends are usually packed and there's barely time to sit down and sip on some coffee!
Also, like Elena likes to say Saturday night is a mandatory clubbing night! I don't even remember the last time I went to a club. Back in Dubai, we used to go atleast once a month. I loved clubbing. Drinking, dancing and hot guys; whats not to like! Lets try tonight. I'll avoid drinking because I don't usually drink with strangers. What if I get high? Definitely don't want to create any scenes in front of people I'll be meeting for the first time!

"Listen Ash" Elena called out in a serious tone.

"Yeah say" I looked at her with a confused look.

"That guy over there is looking at you after every two minutes" she said wiggling her eyebrows.

She's pestering me to go out with a guy. According to her, I'm missing out the opportunity to go on dates and have free food. Crazy right? I can pay for myself. Who needs a guy to take you on a nice date? I wouldn't mind but not just any guy. I'll wait for the right one. I'm a sucker for all the cliché romance in novels. So, I wanted to go on dates with the perfect one and not a random guy.

"Not my type"

"This way you're never going to find any guy. Better get into this stuff or all the good ones will be gone"

"I think I'll manage" I chuckled.

"Oh my god! He's coming towards you" she whispered and quickly rushed to the table where the teenagers where playing, to serve their food.

"Hello Beautiful" that guy chirped making me cringe internally.

"Do you need anything, Sir?" I asked in a stern voice.

"You" "I mean, your number?"

He was tall yet not so tall. Brown eyes, jet black hair, skinny and kinda weird looking.

"Sorry, not interested"

"Amm. Uhh. O-okay. Sure" he stuttered and left.

I heard Elena laugh behind me.

It was almost 5pm. My shift will be over soon. All I wanted to do was go home and relax. But I'll only have an hour or so as I have to meet Elena and her friends at 8.

Just as I was about to leave, Elena called out. "Wear something sexy Ash"

I rolled my eyes at her and left.

Returning home, I decided to take a nap for an hour. My feet were hurting because of standing for so long. I fell asleep the moment I pulled the blanket on myself.

The ringing of my phone woke me up. Groaning, I picked up. "Hello"
"Just calling to inform that there's a slight change in the plan." Elena spoke calmly.

"What is it?"

"We'll be going to the new club thats like half an hour drive from here and we'll be staying over at one of my friend's place for the night. Okay?"

"Ughh. I don't even know your friend and I'll just stay at her place for the night?"

"Pretty much. Now get up lazy ass and start getting ready. Its almost 7.30"

"Whatever" I mumbled.

"One of my friend will pick you up at 8 from your place. Please be good to him"

"You're setting me up with your friend?"

"Kinda."
I could imagine her wicked grin.

"And whats his name?"

"Derek"

"Alright. I'll 'TRY' being nice to him. Bye"
with that I ended the call.

7.25pm.

I better start getting ready. Derek will be here at 8. I hope he's not some kind of a creepy guy.

Sorry for the late update..
Who do you think Derek will be?
