Love Again : A Second Chance [ON HOLD]

Chapter 5 - The Little Red Head

3 days later...

"That's weird. If mel is not coming today, she would have told me." I murmured to myself after checking my phone for the umpteenth time.

I checked the time.

'Still 10 minutes before our shift starts, I better go. Maybe she stayed over at Joey's again, who could resist this guy?!!'  I thought to myself.

Without any warning, my mind suddenly drifted to Joe's perfectly tonned body. His hairless abs -i've seen him remove his jersey after a football match a couple of times, that was before they started dating and Mel had a huge crush on him- his muscular biceps and his toned legs.

I flushed at the sexy  picture displaying  in my head, 'what the heck girl! It's Joey ! You CAN'T fantasize about your Best Friend's man! Uggh.. We seriously need to get laid. ' I mentaly slapped my conscious.

I turned around and started walking towards the main building, when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around to find a very handsome guy showing me his toothpaste commercial set of teeth.

" Hi!" he said, removing his shades.

OMG, kate! He is soo hot! Look at his eyes! He's way sexier than Joe! my conscious squirmed.

"I was at the restaurant yesterday, for lunch, and I noticed you, or more likely your blond hair shinning in the sun caught my attention..."

Hmmm... He's poetic too

"... You have really beautiful hair. I wanted to say hi, but then you mysteriously disappeared." He said with a cocky smile, brushing his hand through his hair.

I felt the red creep to my face. I smiled shyly and tried to answer him in the most coherent way I could, "oh...uh...yeah...uhm...hi?" I waved at him.

SERIOUSLY? ARE YOU WAVING AT HIM THOMAS ?!!!! my conscious screamed in my head

Not knowing what to do with my hand still in the air, I tucked one stray golden lock behind my ear, "Uhm, I'm Katel-"

"Take one more step, and I'll chop your family jewel off!"

A petite body jumped infront of me out of nowhere.

The guy lifted both his hand in surrender and took a few steps back, "Easy kitty, I was just talking to her," he said for his defense.

"So, just because you saw a cute girl standing on the parking lot all alone, you thought you could just come and keep her company?" She spat back at him.

From where I was, all I could see was a shoulder length curtain of maroon locks. But judging by the venom in her voice, I knew the short red head infront of me was pissed. And for those who knew her well, knew that it would be best not to argue with her when she's in a fury.

I stood their dumbfounded, what on earth just happened? It was unlike Amelia to go all Calamity Jane on a guy, only for talking to me, specially a cute guy. Actually the complete opposite would usually happen, she would be overexcited about it, and she would start shipping our names and planning our dates before the poor lad could even think about asking for my phone number.

"And who are you, kitty cat?" The guy grinned and took a step closer to Mel.

"If I were you, I'd turn around and save my ass, before I break any of your bones." Amelia hissed through her clenched teeth.

The guy let out a frustrated sigh and walked away.

I turned my gaze to her, "what was that about?"

Amelia looked at me and rolled her eyes, "Grow up Kate, can't you see? This bastard only wanted to get into your panties, just like the rest of them!"

I looked down and shrugged, and we made our way to the restaurant's kitchen.
