Coffee

Anastasia

It was already past 5, but there Corey was, sitting in the same chair by the window. Same coffee and same book.

"Are you sure you want nothing to eat? You didn't eat breakfast either and it's already 5." He looked at his watch, "Damn five already?" He looked up at me and smile. "What do you think I should get?"

My heart...

Why was my heart beating like this? "Um, what don't you like?"

"There is nothing you give me that I won't Anastasia."

My cheeks...

What the hell?! "There are things you won't like that I offer."

Somehow the thought off my parent's killer came in my mind. My face reacted in its own as I look away. Corey didn't need to see my face was creating.

"I am sure I can take it." He whispered. "I highly doubt it."

Walk to Helda and dropped in the chair. Of course, Mrs. Helda saw it and came straight to my aid. "My dear, what is wrong?" She grabbed my hands, "Just thinking of things I shouldn't."

"Do you want to talk about it?" She whispers, but I shake my head. "Corey wants some food. Do you know what he will like? He said anything." Helda gave me a big smile, "I know just the thing! Tell him it will be out soon, I'll be right back!"

Nodding, I watch her go in the back. I take a few breaths trying to regain myself. There was no rush, it was slow. There must have been a game today, we never this dead at least during the weekend. I get up and wipe myself off, walking toward the handsome boy.

Wait handsome?

He immediately looks up with a smile, "So what is for dinner today?" I laugh, "You sound like your always here." The smile turned to a knowingly smirk. "Maybe I will be now."

"Coffee just that good? You barely dranked it."

"I didn't come for the coffee." He blushed, looking shyly as me, "I don't even like coffee."

"Then why?" Helda came over with her plates and a hot coco. "Alright son, here ya go!" She placed his meal down and gave her motherly smile. He happily took it with a big gulp. I go to help her but then she lightly pushes me to sit. "I told you to relax. Here ya'll enjoy!" She placed the second plate of spaghetti in front of me.

I stare at it then look up at her with a (the hell) face. Corey laughed and thanked her for the meal and then hands me a fork. I stare at him before slowly taking it. "Did you?"

"Nope!" Popping the p at the end with a smile. I couldn't even be mad! I look over and there was no one in the restaurant. It was just the two of us eating, so I guess it was ok. I eat with him with a smile. I could see Helda enjoying herself on the side of my eye. I shake my head laughing taking another bite of food.

"So..." I started, "You like hot coco?"
