Friday, November 4, 2016-
It has been a week, a complete 7-days without talking or even avoiding eye-contact with him. It was awkward sleeping in the bed with him in one room, so he offered to sleep in the guest bedroom and I just nodded not speaking to him. I could tell from his face that he wanted me to ask him to say, I did too because feeling him next to me makes me feel safe and warm, but we both knew we couldn't not after what happened.
I was currently at work. waiting for the clock to strike 7 pm so I can end my shift and go home. The cafe was not really busy on evenings, because who the hell would go to a cafe and order a coffee at 8 pm? Well, some customers order coffee for them to drink to stay up for work. I still don't understand why but at least I'm getting paid more.
"Are you sure you don't want me to close tonight?" I turned over to Jess, helping her out by cleaning and organizing the counter.
"I'm sure, Jannalyn." She smiled at me. "Plus, you've been working a lot these past few weeks and you deserve a break." I thanked her with a big grin on lips, I watched the clock and waited for it to strike 7. "So uh, is everything alright with you and Matthew?" I tensed up.
"Uh, we both decided that it's best if we just take a little break from each other," I answered.
"I'm sorry you had to go through this." She commented, I turned over to her and sent her a small weak smile.
"It's okay, we all had to or will experience it once in our life anyway." She agreed. I was so happy that it was already 7 pm meaning my shift just ended and I can finally go home and sleep. "I'll see you tomorrow." I hugged Jess, kissing her cheek after I grabbed all of my belongings ready to head out.
"Take the day off." She mumbled, hugging me back.
"What are you sure?" I pulled away from, with furrowed eyebrows. Not only she was letting me go home early but she was also letting me take the day off tomorrow?
"I'm sure. You need to relax or something. Go focus on yourself first. I'll see you on Monday." She kissed my cheek and practically kicked me out of the cafe before I could say anything.
I waved goodbye at her through the window then jogged to my car.
"Cold. Cold." I shivered, I inserted my car eye and waited for a few minutes for the at to warm up. When it was ready to leave, I exited out the parking lot and started driving home with no music on, just me and my thoughts.

When I arrived home, Burnie was greeting me by jumping up and down, his tail wiggling.
"Hey, buddy," I whispered letting his head. I hoped he wasn't home but I could tell he was because I heard the tv coming from the guest bedroom.
