It's a normal day like always. He's lying on the couch while I'm making breakfast. I see him peeking at me and a blush appears on my face. I know he does that often but this time I caught him.
I hear outside a car squeaking and run towards the window where he already was standing. 'It's him, isn't it?'
He nods while staring out of the window. The next second he looks at me right in my eyes and kisses me passionately.
'You have to go... Take as much money you need and run. Don't ever look back.' 'No I keep running away this has to stop!' 'There's no chance that this will stop. He will kidnap or kill you.' He said with a crack of sadness in his serious face
'I don't care! I want to stay with you!' Tears start rolling over my cheeks. I can't hold them in anymore.
'Hayley! Go!'Anyways, before all this romantic drama shit, you need to know the whole story, from the beginning 'till the end.
It'ss a rainy day and I'm walking down the street to go grocery shopping. I see the people running to a cab and children jumping in puddles.
I'm completely distracted when I walk against an old man and drop his newspaper. 'I'm so sorry! I was a little bit distracted.' I said as I took the newspaper. 'It's no big deal miss. It's nice to talk to someone these days.' He said while chuckling. 'I totally agree! Everyone is busy minding their own business that they don't even have time for others. And you can call me Hayley.' 'Indeed, do you want to go drink a cup of coffee with me? I am not a pedophile or something. But I would like the company.' He laughs while saying it and I smile. 'Of course!'
A few minutes past when we arrive at the cafe. It has a vintage touch but is still a little bit casual. There wasn't much people but when I made eye contact with the employee I was suddenly happy that nobody was there, otherwise they would've seen me blushing like a freak.
I sit down at a table by the window with my face turned at bar so I can see the employee.
The old man disturbed my dreaming and asks: 'So how was your day.' 'Wet...' The man starts laughing. I chuckle with him. 'Yeah, that's true.'
'Would you like something to drink?' Said the employee suddenly standing next to the table.
'Yes... uhm... I would like a cappuccino pl.. please.' Stuttered I. Why can't I just act fucking normal. 'A coffee please.'
Minutes staring at him and talking with the old man passed away... I still don't know why I feel like this with that boy... Normally I am not someone who is so suspicious.
'Are you alright miss? You look the whole time at that young man.'
'Oh... Sorry, I was just dreaming because I'm really sleepy...' How can I be so stupid the employee must've seen me watching too!
'It's better to go home miss. You really look tired.' 'It's Hayley and yes that's a good plan...' The old man takes his raincoat and leaves with a friendly smile. And I was alone, still sipping from my cappuccino like a dump cat.
'Uhm, I don't want to be rude but are you almost done? We are going to close the cafe.' Said the hot employee. I was shocked and I bumped my knee against the table. I drink the last bit of coffee out of my cup and put it back on the table. 'Yeh... uhm... Actually I'm done. Thank you!' I kind of run out the cafe, embarrassed as fuck.'Miss!' I turn quick around to look who screams after me. But what I didn't expected was that it was the hot guy of the cafe.
'You forget your purse!' He runs towards me and stops, with hard breathing, in front of my nose. Damn it! Could it get any embarrassing?!
'Ow... Thanks you just saved my day. If my mom hears of it, I am dead.' 'I know what you mean. Once I almost lost my car key at a party.' He starts laughing.
'Hahaha! Yeh, most of the time someone saves my but.' 'I wish I had such friends... but here is your purse.' 'Thank you.' 'Will I see you again some time?' He said, looking with a begging face and a smile. 'Who knows. Maybe I don't have time.' I said while I knew I probably would be bored home, but I just need to know his reaction. 'Owh... uhm... If you have some place in your program, you can find me at the cafe most of the time.' 'Sure! I will see what I can do. But I really have to go, bye!' 'See you!'
I see him thoughtful walking back. I smile and for the rest of the day I couldn't think of something else then him.I'm reading a book when I saw my phone jumping on. A message. But from who? It's pretty late.
'Hello, cappuccino. How are you doing? x'
Wow. Wait a sec. How did HE get MY number without asking?! Not that is don't want to chat with him. But HOW?!
'Hey! Good, with you? And how the hack did you get my phone number?
'Same and idk (I don't know). I have my connections. x'
'You ugly pedophile!'
'Who knows? Maybe I am going to kidnap you and do things that are more ugly then me? x'
'Wtf (what the fuck)! Gross!'
Okay maybe I want that. But still ew.
'Don't you like that? x'
'What?'
'Gross talking? x'
'Never tried and I never will.'
'Ow, unfortunate... x'
'How so? Maybe I don't even like you!'
Yes, I do.
'Are we playing hard to get? Because if I have to trust my eyes, I saw you looking at me with your eyes right open... x'
Shit!
'No! I didn't!'
'Yes, you did! x'
Goddammit this is a stubborn guy...
'I didn't! And btw (by the way) I'm going to sleep if you don't mind.'
'Ow, yeh. You have a busy week and no time to chill with your crush? x'
'Goodbye!'
I shut off my phone and put it down on my night table.
Oh. My. Gosh.
I don't even know his name!
