Back to you

Chapter Nine

"What are you doing here" he said with a scold on his face.

"And a lovely evening to you too babe" I rolled my eyes.

He rose his eyebrows in an annoyed manner which just made me smirk. 

"Obviously trying to buy a grass mower what about you?"

Not even giving me one more look as if I am just a waste of his energy and time, he turned away to look at a coffee machine at the back. 

I rang the little bell on the counter. 

No answer.

I double rang it, slightly annoyed now. 

Still nothing from him. 

"You know the client is supposed to be the king right?" I spoke up. 

"I'm sorry I don't see any men here" he answered. 

Annoying smart ass. 

"Are you telling me that you know if I have a penis better than me?"

At this, he turned around and with two big steps, was on the other side of the counter, his face resting in the palms of his hands, elbows on the furniture. 

"Although you have almost no boobs, I'm pretty sure I'm talking to a girl right now" he smirked. 

I scuffed. 

"That was a low blow."

"Only the truth hurts, babe" he said, emphasizing the petname. 

"Alright babe," I shrugged, "now that you're talking to me, I'd like a medium latte, almond milk, no whipped cream and please make it not too hot." 

"Diva" I heard him mutter as he went away to make my beverage. 

"I heard that" I giggled, looking at my phone to see that I have received another text from Skye asking me to take a picture of Shawn when I can to send her. 

Well, why not now. 

As discretely as I can, I angled my phone for my camera to face him and took a shot. Surprisingly, there was no flash, but what I didn't plan was the sound my phone would make when I took the picture. Fuck.

"I heard that" Shawn mimicked me, turning around with my drink in his hand. 

"Heard what?" I asked, playing dumb. Maybe this will get me out of trouble. It sure worked before. 

"Why take a picture when you could eye me all you want, right here right now, in the restrooms, naked" he smirked. 

Hello tomato red cheeks, how have you been. 

"Stop flattering yourself, I don't need you to ruin my camera roll."

"Hmm I don't believe that's what the ladies think when they save my nudes on all of their devices."

"Ew" I pouted "I'm so sad to hear some of my girls have such a lack of taste." 

"Are you telling me I'm not your taste?" he rose his eyebrows again.

"If I'm honest, yes not really" I grinned. 

With a small grin playing on his lips too, he took a step towards me, then another, then leaned across the counter, even closer, so close I could feel the warmth of his breath hit my face. He looked me in the eyes while licking his lips, making my cheeks blush even more. In one swift motion he crossed the small space between us and kissed my cheeks making me hold my breath and close my eyes. Faster than my mind could analyse, he was back at his original position, a blank look on his face. 

"Thought so. Five dollars."

Not saying another words and cursing at myself internally for being so weak, I handed him the money which he took and grabbed my drink. 

I walked away and was about to open the door when a voice behind me said: 

"You know, caffeine is gonna fuck up your sleep." 

I flipped him off and without a glance, left. 

I got home, with one thing on my mind: take a shower, make more coffee and then go to my room to binge watch my show. Okay that's more than one thing but it's one continuous movement so it's kind of the same? 

After struggling to find my keys in the mess that is my bag, I opened the door slowly to check first if my dad is still in the living room. Please Lord, I am so not in the mood for a talk right now. Thankfully, all the lights are turned off which mean I have the house all to myself. Whistling lowly, I made my way to my bathroom and two minutes later I was out, making my coffee. 

Text from Skyaaaaa:  GOD DAMN HE'S HOT U FOUND ONE GOOD FISH BABY

I chuckled and put my phone away, deciding to answer her later. 

I climbed my staircase two steps at a time and quickly snuggled under my blanckets. 

ahhhhh warmth

I went through my netflix account but nothing caught my eyes. Unusual as I'm the type of person to want to watch ten different things at a time. I went through lists and lists of "50 chick flicks to watch" and "10 shows EVERYONE needs to see" before giving up with a sigh. 

 What are you doing to me Shawn ?

I closed my laptop and put it away before taking out my journal. 

Dear 13 years old Vee, 

I swear to god focus on school and growing as a person when you get older because having a boy on your mind 24/7 is no good I promise. 

I know he's hot, cheeky, mysterious, arrogant and oh so annoying but please build some more will power to be able to send him to hell and not be left weak af after talking to him. 

Sincerely, 

Pathetic and lame 17 years old Violet. 

And with that, I closed my eyes and with one last sigh, rolled over to sleep.
