"What's the name of the coffee place thing you work at?"

"Kings Cafe. Why?"

"Really?"

"Yeah? Any reason you asked?"

"Eh."

"You're being weird."

"I'm a weirdo, Stranger. Never got the time to tell ya. Sorry."

"Oh, before I forget. Those uniforms look kinda silly. You should have a talk with whoever runs that place."

"What are you talking about? Are you here?"

"Well, they don't look that bad. It's just missing something. Maybe like a gold crown on the black hats or like a black one on your shirts. But not both. That'd look weird."

"You're here, aren't you."

"Am I?"

"I don't know. I don't know what you look like."

"That sucks."

"Um, are you that chick in the corner with blue hair?"

"Nope. She's white. I'm light skinned, my dude."

"Oh. Right."

"Why'd you say it like that?"

"W-What? Oh I—I didn't mean—"

"Mhm."

"Alex I didn't—"

"I'm just messing with you."

"Wow. Thought we were friends."

"Whatever you say S—"

"Hello, welcome to Kings Cafe. What can I do for you?"

"Ummm, can I get a...grande, iced, sugar-free, vanilla latte with soy milk and one of those King's Crown cupcakes?"

"Absolutely. That'll be $8.46."

"..."

"Alright, and what's your name?"

"Chelsey."

"Chelsey...ok. Your order should be ready in a few minutes."

"No. Fucking. Way."

"..."

"..."

"You still there?"

"Yeah. I am."

"What's wrong?"

"That girl you just served. Her name was Chelsey right?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Huh. Nothing, never mind."

"No tell me."

"Chelsey's the name of the girl that Declan cheated on me with."

"Maybe it's a different one."

"No. This is her."

"How do you know?"

"Because. Ive seen the chicks he's been with before me. She's exactly his type."

"Cake faced, plastic surgery e-girls straight from the factory?"

"Yup."

"..."

"If he was into blonde bimbos then..then why'd he bother going out with someone like me?"

"Someone like you?"

"A light skinned girl that wears glasses and has unruly brown hair. A girl that graduated high school without having her first kiss or first boyfriend for that matter. Maybe I was just a way to pass the time..."

"It sucks how he treated you. If it was up to me, I'd march right over to Stormrock and show him a piece of my mind."

"I couldn't imagine you getting in a fight."

"You're right, I'm not a fighter, I'm a lover. But for you, especially if it was to Declan, I'd throw punch after punch until my hands were broken and bleeding."

"That was..."

"..the cheesiest thing I've ever heard."

"You loved it."

"Keep dreaming barista."

I'm soooooo sorry for the wait. I just haven't had much ideas for this book lately. Hopefully, though, this will be updated more regularly but no promises.

Overview:
• Alex was at Kings Cafe, Stranger's work. And apparently, so was Declan's "mistress"...
