Being in Love with You.

Chapter 6

Being in Love
With you.

For the rest of the week, I've done nothing but school and work. I was thinking about Payne non stop. Do you just ever meet someone and you just can't stop thinking about them, is it just me? I've noticed that he put his number in my phone, I just haven't texted or called. He did say in the letter he'll see me soon, but how soon?

I'm over my head here, he's just a guy I met by accident.

It was Thursday night as I was working the night shift at the diner. It was late at night with barely anyone in here. Probably only five tables are taken by some late night drunkies.

I was in the kitchen when I heard the bell from the door ring.

"Take any seat you want I'll be right with you!" I yelled as I went to grab a menu from behind the counter.

I walked to a guy that had his back facing me as he took a booth that was next to the window. I gave him a menu and took out my notepad and pen to note down what he wanted to drink.

"Hi my name is Kat and I'll be your server for the night,can I start you with some drinks?" I said writing down the table number.

"Well Kat, I'll have a coke and a side off telling me what you do here." He said as I wrote down his drink.

"Flattering but-" I finally looked at the guy and catches my breath in my throat.

"But What? Got a boyfriend?" He said.

"E-Ezra..." I blinked away the tears as I saw my brother.

"Katalina." He said giving me a raised eyebrow.

I sat down in the booth. I can't believe he's really here.

"What are you doing here? How did you find me?"

He scoffed,"You don't get to ask me those questions." I felt a little hurt as my little brother didn't treat me like he did before.

"Look, I know your mad, but-" he cut me off.

"But nothing, admit it that you just left because you were scared."

I shook my head but the bell from the kitchen rang,"Look give me a second to explain everything, don't go anywhere."

I got up and went to serve the food to the table in the front the only customers left. I went back with a sweet tea for him.

We were sitting there staring at each other, it's been almost two years.

"I won't admit it, because I wasn't scared. I just didn't want to be someone who I wasn't meant to be, and because father pressured me all my life, he treated me differently from you and Alannah. Now you can't deny that Ezra."

He sighed,"You could have let me know before you left." He said looking out the window.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hurt you like that." I ran my fingers through my hair frustrated,"B-But tell me what has happened. What's different?"

He said playing with the straw,"No one has taken the crown, Alannah has been bitching father about how, you're dead and that you'll never return. I knew deep down that you were still alive, I started to look for you last year, who would have known you were just five states over." He chuckled as I smiled.

"Father and Mother had search parties looking for you, nothing came up. Alannah has this rumor going on that you ran off to be a prostitute. You're not, are you?"

"No! I have respect for myself Ezra, unlike your sister who is going to turn into a crazy wack job if she doesn't stop sleeping around."

He laughs,"Oh trust me, she hasn't changed."
