I really felt bad about how rude I was to that girl. Maybe she'll be there again today. This time ima Came prepared. Before walking in I looked up a bunch of sign language words.
I walked in looking around until I saw her at a table with the same thing she got yesterday and reading a book. I took in a deep breath before unlocking my phone and going over to her.
I pulled a chair out and sat down she looked up and gave me a very small smile and continued reading like I wasn't there. I sighed looking at my phone. I tapped her shoulder before trying to do the signs.
"I'm sorry" I said while doing the signs.she sat with straight face before busting out in laughter. I wanted be irritated because I was doing my best and she's laughing at me but her laugh was so cute it kind of made me want to laugh.
I honestly thought deaf people just made no noises at all but I guess I was wrong. She put up a finger telling me to hold on. She pulled her phone out and typing something before heading it to me.
'What are you doing?! 😂' I looked up at her squinting my eyes making her laugh some more.
'Trying to tell you sorry about what happened yesterday' I handed the phone back to her and watched her read it. She typed and handed it back.
'It's okay you obviously didn't know' she handed back. I looked up at her.
'Can I ask you a question?' She looked at me before nodding her head.
'Are you completely deaf?' I typed and handed her the phone back. She looked up nodding again and started typing. 'If you talk slow I can read your lips' I looked up at her.
"Really?" She nodded chuckling. I smiled. Things started to calm down and got silent and awkward.
"Want to hang out sometime?" She put her head down. I put my finger under her chin lifting it back up and she shook her head no.
"Why not?" She looked at me for a moment before starting to get her things. I grabbed her arm stopping her. "Can I have your number?"
She handed me her phone and I put my name in as "Nicki" and saved it and handed it back.She continued packing her stuff up and left. I sighed and ordered my usual and left.
Later that night.
Beys POV
I went to Nicki's contact opening the message.I don't know if I actually want to text her. I mean I do, but I don't.
"Wassup Nicki." Nahh that's to.. friendly.
"Hey Nicki" I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't say her name.
"Hey it's Beyonce." Dang she probably didn't know my name. Ughh
"Hey Nicki. It's Beyonce." Yeah.
I sat my my phone down waiting. My cat walked by rubbing against my legs. I picked her up stroking her and continued to watch TV.
Nicki's POV

She really texted me?
Nicki 🙂💛: Hey Wassup?
Beyonce 🤤: Nothing just wanted to say thank you for apologizing. Most people don't these days.
Nicki 🙂💛: No problem. Soooo what's up with hanging out sometimes?
Beyonce 🤤: I can't... I'm sorry.
Nicki 🙂💛: And why not?
