Tic-Toc

Chapter 2

"You look lovely madam"
"Thank you" I say as my cheeks flush a crimson color. The man looked young and very well looking. When I looked in his eyes everything stopped around me and when he smiled my heart melted.
"May I have this dance?" He asks with his hand held out.
"Certainly." I adjust myself momentarily and take his hand with a smile clear on my face. After the first song finished we stayed and danced. Song after song, the clock was soon approaching midnight. Louis slowly guided my lips to his and-

Damn just as the dream was getting good. I sigh and roll myself out of bed. After going through my morning routine and running five minutes behind I'm dashing out the door hurrying to make it to my lecture on time. I reach my car and quickly buckle up and get on my way to the lecture hall. There is almost no parking but I was lucky enough to snag one near the door. I'm sprinting to make it to class on time. I'm so focused on moving one foot in front of the other I don't notice the person in front of me. As I gracefully crash into them we both tumble to the ground. I close my eyes and shoot my hands out attempting to catch myself. Once I open my eyes I'm met with gorgeous blue eyes. I quickly realized the position were in and suppress a laugh. My hands were on his chest and are legs were tangled. After unraveling myself and offering a hand to help him up I let out a little laugh.
"Nice bumping into you Blake" I give him a little grin and he laughs a little.
"Nice bumping into you too"
We both walk together to class. Luckily making it on time we take our seats and resumed working on they project. After the two hour class my brain is barely functioning and I'm ready to sleep for a couple of hours. I groan out loud when I remember the list of things I have to do today. I have to get groceries, go to the gym, do laundry, AND go work on the project with Blake. So with that on my mind I head to the store.
"Eggs, avocados, cucumbers, ramen noodles, milk, and bread" I mutter under my breath as I push my cart through the isles.
-squeak-
-squeak-
I think I grabbed the most annoying trolly ever. I groan and kick it a couple of time and continue on. Thank god I didn't bring Riley! Half the snack isle would be in the cart right now. After I finally finish shopping I hit the gym for a little bit. After I'm gross, stinky, and sweaty I head home and get ready to take a shower. I adjust the water temp I step in and feel in bliss. The warm water drenching my sore muscles felt so good. Once I step out of the shower into the chilly air I immediately bundle up and start with laundry. While waiting for the clothes to wash I text Blake.

Me: Hey :) when are we going to do the project?

Blake: I'm free all day text me where and when and I'll be there. :)

Me: Starbucks at 5:00pm?

Blake: perfect, see you there!

After sighing in delight the washing machine beep snaps me out of my daze. Once I switch the clothes into the dryer I have 4 hours till I have to meet I'll with Blake. After doing nothing but reading and listening to music for 3 and a half hours I decided to get ready. I pack my bag and throw on a cute oversized burgundy sweater and some black leggings with Sperry slip-ons. Riley is out of the apartment doing god know what so I have to be sure to lock it. Once it's locked I drive to the bean juice store. Once I reach Starbucks I looked around for Blake when I didn't see him I chose to sit on the couch in the corner so I could have all my notes and ideas around me. When I'm reading over a couple things I get a text from Blake.

Blake: Almost there!

Me: Ok!

I continue to review until I hear the faint jingle of the door opening after looking up I see the one of a kind eyes, then the gorgeous smile. He walks over to me and puts his stuff out around the table. Once he's ready we start working on the project. After we finished a good portion of it we just talked and enjoyed each other's company.

"If you could go anywhere in the world right now where would you go?"

"I think I would go to either Italy or France. How about you?"

"Either of those sound fun but also Australia."

After an hour or so of just talking we decided to call it a night. It was about 7:30-ish when I left Starbucks so I decided to grab some dinner. I head to a family owned diner in town. It always has the best food and the atmosphere of the place is so welcoming. After a ten minute drive I finally get there. As soon as I pushed open the door the smell of good food immediately hits my nose. I sit in a booth by myself and pick up the menu looking over all the tasty options. After much debate I finally decided on a breakfast avocado cheese burger. I've never tried it here but burgers are amazing in general and hard to screw up, so I believe it will be tasty. Once the burger arrives I take a deep breath and it smells delicious. Without waiting another second the burger is already in my mouth. Bite after delicious bite the burger is sadly gone. I quickly pay my bill and head home. After getting into my apartment I plop down on the couch and out on Netflix. I get ready for bed and continue to watch Netflix. Supernatural is the best show ever so after every episode I keep saying one more then I'll go to bed. After at least 5 more episodes it's 2 in the morning. I realized I probably should go to bed but convince myself to watch one more episode. As I watch my eyelids grew so heavy.
-beep-
-beep-
I reach over to hit my snooze button but fall off the couch. I realized I wasn't in my bad and the beeping was my phone. I answer the beeping phone to Riley.

"Get your ass off the couch and get ready for work. I didn't wake you up because I knew you didn't have classes today"

"Thank you but I have to get ready for work, byeee"

After running around trying to get everything done I end up at The coffee bean the cafe I work at. When I get there I tie my apron on and start taking orders and prepping coffees. The 9:00 am rush comes through and make coffee after coffee nonstop moving til 11:30.
