A Locked Up Heart.

Chapter Six - Whatever. Beans. Necessary.

It was a short walk to the coffee shop.

A short but awkward walk. As currently, it was mostly me and Andrea talking.

"So what are you majoring in Keyland." Andrea said desperately trying to cut through the awkward silence.

"Criminal Psychology." I replied.

"What made you want to do that?" Andrea asked.

"Erm. My father was the leader of a crime ring. Also I was kind of targeted by my, erm, brother?" I tried to untangle the thread in my head, but the plot of my life is kind of convoluted.

"Step brother." Sherlock clarified.

"Yeah he killed my step dad and his wife." I remembered, smiling at Sherlock.

"You mean your mother?" Andrea asked.

"No he married again -many times- after my mother." I clarified.

"Oh." She replied, clearly confused.

"So what about you?" I asked as Sherlock held the door open for everyone (except brook who nearly walked into the door). We walked inside the large tan building, marked 'Bean's Beans.'

"What's my major?" She asked.

"Yeah." I confirmed.

"International relations." She responded.

"So politics?" I asked.

"Yeah." Andrea replied.

"My brother would love you." Sherlock said offhandedly. Then I got an idea, one that I would have to save for later...

"So what is everyone getting." Richard finally spoke. Materializing from behind us.

"I'll get a latte, and Sherlock will take a coffee black two sugars." I deduced. Sherlock nodded.

"I'll get a Latte too." Andrea put in, noting the dark look Richard was sending Sherlock.

"And one black coffee okay." Richard added.

"Come on Richard lets order together." I said steering him to the front of the shop.

"Okay." He smirked.

We walked up to the cash register, and ordered our drinks from the barista.

"So Two lattes and two plain coffee's one with two sugar?

That's right.

"Okay that will be seventeen pounds. By the way, I hope you don't mind my saying this. But you guys are a cute couple."

"Oh we aren't-" I started as Richard put his arm around me.

"Yeah we are aren't we!" Richard grinned going in for a kiss. I held my cup up just in time, and he kissed my cup

~He likes me...Oh Bugger!~

Richard pulled away with a hurt look in his eyes.

"Uh I'll take these to the table." I said speed walking away from him, my face aflame.
