You're My Music - A Riker Lynch FanFiction

SCANDAL

"Excuse me... Ma'am...Um hello."

"I'm sorry what?"

"Sorry sir the bathrooms are around the corner and to your right." Jackson piped in behind me.

"Thanks." A middle aged bald man wearing a green suit shirt gave me a condescending nod and followed the way Jackson's hand pointed him.

"Whoa! Earth to Rian, anyone home?" Jackson dramatically waved his hands in front of my face.

"Sorry I just have a lot on my mind." I said shrugging in angst. I couldn't keep my mind on work for one second. The coffee shop was extremely slow for a Tuesday morning and I was drifting.

"Anything you want to talk about? Some tea you want to spill? How is that boy you dumped?"
Jackson was the only person I really enjoyed working with.

"I didn't dump him, it was comp-"

"I know it was complicated—aren't relationships always!"

"And what do you know I haven't heard about any boys on your end."

The coffee shop door swept open and Rocky walked in.

"Ugh yes, your hot friend is here." Jackson said under his breath. I laughed and shoved Jackson to the side of the counter.

Rocky walked up and put his elbows down and his chin in them. I mimicked him and got face to face with him my elbows parallel to his.

"What's up?" I tilted my head and cracked a smile. He cracked a similar half smile.

"I was bored so I thought I would come visit my favorite barista." We both stood up.

"You come all this way just to see me?" Jackson gushed. Jackson set an iced americano on the counter.

"You remember my drink and everything thanks man!" Rocky put his hand up for a high five, but a disappointed Jackson just cringed and walked to the back room.

"So, what do I owe you?" Rocky asked fumbling with his wallet.

"On the house."

"Uhh..." He sighed. "What did I do to deserve you!"

"I'm just in my everlasting quest to feed your coffee addiction." I said half chuckling. Rocky put his hand on top of mine on the counter and gave it a squeeze.

"Ri, I love you! I'm going to use the bathroom quick." Rocky set down his coffee and walked around the corner to the restrooms.

"That man just keeps getting more gorgeous." Jackson said.

"Well I hate to shatter your dreams, but that man is straight and too old for you."

"Oh, trust me I know he's straight, he is extremely into you."

If I had been drinking something I would most likely would have expelled it from my mouth

"Excuse me what? You think Rocky is into me?"

"Yea I always see the ways he interacts with you, it's right under your nose. He practically professed his love for you."

"He professed his love for coffee. You are seriously out of it, we're just friends."

"You're too close to the situation to realize it, but your best friend is in love with you trust me. Maybe you have some feelings for him too and that's what's really upsetting you."

"Trust me I am not in love with...ROCKY!"

I jumped as Rocky came back around the corner.

"Dudeeeeee you have to look at this!" Thankfully Rocky was distracted with something more pressing. Rocky showed me his phone lit up with a tweet from the celebrity gossip account: "LA Tonight!"
