Drawing Voices

Dreaming around Chapter Four

"I thought that yesterday."  I was getting too hot under the duvets so i spun my legs out and sat next to him. "Do you go to Leeds university?"

"Yeah, i'm studying English Literature... but i think it's something else. Like years ago...." He squinted his face trying to remember.

"No i agree. It feels like..." Then it struck me where i may recognize him from but I didn't want to say "I don't know, maybe we haven't"

"No! We must have..." 

"I don't know." I had an idea where i knew him from but i didn't want to say. Not yet.

Dan changed the topic quickly too. "You want some breakfast?" That got me thinking maybe he realized. Hopefully he hasn't. 

"Yeah sure." I got up and i realized it was actually quite cold. "Do you have a jumper i could borrow? It's fine if you don't want me to borrow one..."

"Before i had the time to finish my sentence he was in his set of drawers getting a jumper out for me. He pulled out a red and white stripy jumper. It actually fitted me ok. It was a little big on the arms but after i had rolled the sleeve's up, it was fine. It smelt so good, like a safe, warm, old jumper smell. I cuddled myself in it.

In the kitchen Dan was rummaging through the cupboards looking for some cereal or some bread. There was literally nothing. .

"Want to go out for breakfast?" Dan asked.

"Yeah, love to." We knew the others were still asleep so we decided to just go without them. 

I made my way back into the room and put on my dark blue converse. Realizing Dan had the same ones. 

In unison we both shouted "Snap!" It was actually quite funny but for some reason Dan found it over funny and couldn't stop laughing. I didn't mind though. It was cute when he laughed because he produces two dominant dimples and his hair wiggles about. This actually set me off as well. We were technically both laughing over two different things that weren't even that funny.

*-*-*

On the way to where ever we were going, we were both asking questions to get to know each other. It was a good thing to do because i realize how UNinteresting my life has been, compared to Dan's exciting life.

"So you live with Kyle and Jenna then?"

"Yeah, just for the time being. I'm looking for a new place to live. What about you?"

"Oh i live in one of the uni rooms. It sucks. You need to meet my room mates. I couldn't have asked for anyone better." I answered sarcastically.  I looked to the side to see Dan laughing again.

*-*-*

After walking at a tortuously slow pace we finally made it to a cafe that we both had never been to. It looked like and antique shop with different pieces of old furniture in and random cupboards... But it looked cool. 

We walked inside and it smelt like old people, that memorably musty smell. We sat at the back of the room next to a brown cupboard and looked at the menu.

A young man in his early twenty's came to take our orders. "Can i get you anything?"

"Yeah, can i have a coffee and some waffles please?" Dan turned to me "What do you want Lola?" 

"Umm, can i have the same please, that sounds nice. Thank you"

The waiter walked off.
