Hot chocolates and tissues

Chapter 3- We meet again..

It's the next day and Rebecca is lying in bed, she's not in work today as it's a Wednesday.

All she can think about is Connor. His dark, brown eyes; his golden hair, just a shade darker than her own; his voice which seemed to leave her in a trance. Everything about him seemed perfect.

At 11am she pulls the covers away, and hops out of bed and into the shower.

She's out the shower and choosing an outfit to wear.

'Black tights, pink skater skirt and owl crop top? No, too much...need something subtle. Hmm.. How about this? Black skinny jeans, purple knitted jumper and I'll wear a bun in my hair- Great!

Rebecca walks down the stairs and makes her way into the living room;

"Daaaaaad!?" Rebecca shouts around the house.

"Yes honey?" He replies from the study.

"Can I take Tommy to the park...because it's a nice day?"

"I don't see why not, check with Sam though darling. I'm busy with work"

Sam is Rebecca's step mum, as her mother died in a tragic accident when Rebecca was two. Sam has always been there for Rebecca since the day her and Rebecca's dad got engaged 11years ago.

"Sam!" Rebecca shouts upstairs.

There's no reply.

"Saaam?"

Rebecca here's footsteps.

"Yes sweetie?" Sam pops her head around the bathroom door and smiles.

"Is it alright if I take tommy to the park?"

"Yeah.. But it's almost lunch?"

"Oh yeah. Hm.. Can I take him to the Blueberry for lunch?"

"Certainly! Thought you'd be sick of the place!" Sam chuckles; "Just grab some money out of my purse."

"Thankyou Sammy!" Rebecca grinned.

Rebecca walks to Tommy's play room.

"Hiya Tom, what you doing?"

"I am playing with trucks!" Tommy exclaimed as if it was the most exciting thing ever.

"Cool, how do you fancy going for some lunch and then going to the park?"

"YEAH!" He excitedly replied.

They walk along the street up to the Blueberry café and sit down on a table near the door.

"What would you like Tombo?"

"Ham sandwich, and orange juice."

Rebecca looks down at Tommy as if he's forgotten something.

There's a short silence.

"Plllllease?" He gurgles.

Rebecca laughs and nods at him.

"Aye, remember your manners! I'll go order the food, I'll be two minutes."

She walks to the main counter and asks for a ham sandwich, a cheese sandwich, an orange juice and a hot chocolate with whipped cream.

5 minutes later the food is already served. Tommy tucks into his sandwich, he has a big appetite for a 5 year old!

Rebecca is half way through her sandwich when Connor starts walking up to the counter, orders a hot chocolate and sits on the corner table. Rebecca can't help but stare at him, he's wearing skinny jeans and an Aztec T-shirt. Connor glances up and catches Rebecca's eye. He walks over to the table wear she is sat.

"Hi Becca, didn't expect to see you in here today." He flashes his gleaming teeth at her. She blushes and looks at Tommy, then back up to him.

"Oh" she laughs "yeah, I can't escape from this place."

He pulls a seat from another table and sits to the side of Tommy.

"Who's this then?" Nodding his head towards Tommy.

"This is Tommy. My little brother." She smiles, "say hello to Connor Tom."

"Hello to Connor Tom!" He giggles.

"Oi! Cheeky monkey!" Rebecca can't help but laugh at him.

"Hello Tommy!" Connor chirps in, he now turns back to Rebecca; "I love your jumper!"

Rebecca's heart starts to race. She goes bright red.

"Oh thankyou!" She smiles, embarrassed. Connor notices and seems embarrassed too.

"So are you going to show me around today then?" Connor questions, his forehead crinkling as he thinks.

"Me and Tom were going to the park, so I can show you around a little heading that direction?"

"Sure that sounds great" he smiles.

His hot-chocolate gets served, and he takes a sip;

"Ahh, not as good as yesterday's.." He smirks at her, Rebecca blushes and finished her sandwich.
