The week went by in a blur, The parties at the house were up and at full force every night. I didn't have a single night of decent sleep since we started school. I woke up early Saturday morning and decided to run to the Coffee Café, a few blocks down from the house, and grab a coffee.
After I ordered, I walked out the door only to realize that I forgot my wallet. As I turned around to walk back in, the metal door swung open and hit me square in the face. I lost my balance and fell down spilling whatever was left of my coffee all over the ground. I felt someone grab me by the arm and sit me down at one of the nearby tables.
"Dammit, I'm so sorry, are you alright?" A deep voice called out to me.
I remembered his face from biology, he was the one with the pink earbuds.
"I'll be alright, thanks for helping me." I simultaneously rubbed my head while talking.
"I saw your wallet sitting there and I ran out here to bring it to you but I wasn't paying attention to anything else and I stupidly pushed the door open not thinking about what was behind it." His rambling was giving me a headache, or maybe it was the door.
"Please, I'm fine, look no bump, and thank you for thinking to grab my wallet and give it to me." I smiled at him as I went to stand up.
"I'm Jesse, by the way." He stood there in his black t-shirt and tan cargo shorts, waiting for me to say my name.
"I'm Alexandra, but I go by Allie." I stood there awkwardly not knowing if I should shake his hand or walk away.
He offered to buy me another cup of coffee, and I just couldn't say no. His face carved to perfection, his broad shoulders and toned body, really made the decision for me. I told him that the coffee could not come from this place because everyone saw what happened and I was embarrassed as hell to go back in.
Jesse said he knew a small café around the corner, so we decided to walk there.
While we were walking and talking about things I asked him if he went to school. When he said yes and told me where he went I knew what to ask next.
"Hey, are you the guy in biology that sits in the back?"
"So that's where I've seen you, you looked so familiar." His smile showed perfect straight white teeth, and to think he couldn't get any better.
We talked about the smallest things like our favorite colors and foods, and I asked him if he had any siblings.
"I have one sister and had a brother, my sister, man she is a handful, but I love her." He kept talking as if what he said was normal.
"Wait, you said you had-"
"Another time." He looked away and I knew to drop the subject.
"I only have one sister and she is crazy, one time my mom actually called me to tell me that my sister stayed up all night freaking out because she wanted a guinea pig." I faced him and smiled.
"Guinea pigs are super cool, if my sister had a guinea pig, it will probably be pink, because that's her favorite color." He started laughing right after he said it.
His laugh was contagious, and as he was laughing his dimples showed in full effect, they were adorable.
"I like your dimples." I said smiling. Wait. I just said I liked his dimples what the fuck is wrong with me. I mentally slapped myself.
"I like your hair, Blondie." He smirked, his smirk, oh my gosh.
"Blondie huh? How about I call you dimples?" We were both smiling so strongly, I thought my cheeks were gonna burst.
"Dimples and Blondie, reporting for duty." He even saluted. We both cracked up and continued walking to the café.
*****
We finally made it to Bistro Café and got a small table in the corner. I ordered another coffee and a small danish, and he got black coffee like me. We sat and talked for what seemed like 30 minutes or so.
We got up to leave when we finished, and we were walking towards the door when I saw him. I knew right away we made a bad choice taking the side door, but it was too late, because he saw me also. I turned around to face Jesse, but I felt his presence behind me.
Haha, cliff-hangers are the best. I hope you all are enjoying this book! Another chapter will be posted tomorrow and after that I will have a better schedule. Whatcha guys think about the nicknames, cute or cliche? Let me know in the comments!☺️
