FEELS

Edwins palms were sweaty, he had a hard time mixing the frappe he was making as he caught sight of the customer that had just walked through the door, he knew Zion from around campus, they shared a few similar friends but never actually spoken more than a few words to each other. But those few words they did speak were enough for edwin to harbor a newly found crush on the guy.

Everything about Zion was intoxicating, it was hard to not get mixed up in wanting him. He was caring, outgoing, and not afraid to speak his mind. With him being one of the most known people on campus, he was a chick magnet, he could have any girl he wanted, it was once a competition to see who could get Zion to take them home after a party, he was beyond attractive and Edwin knew enough about him to know that he wanted nothing more than to be one of the people Zion took home, but he knew it was just hopeful wishing Zion wasn't gay for one and for two even if he did happen to be bi he currently had a long term fling with some girl he met a little under a month ago.

After edwin handed out the last drink to the customers in front of Zion, he mentally prepared himself for actually getting to have a conversation with him.

Zion read from the little takeout menu the cafe kept on the counter as he tried to figure out what he wanted to order, he glanced over the menu to see edwin starring him down and raised an eyebrow at him in question before looking back down to the menu.

Edwins heart practically leapt out of his chest as Zion looked up at him, he hadn't meant to stare but Zion looked extra good today in his black jeans and purple hoodie, he had dyed his dreads blonde and he had a cute disheveled but put together look going.

"aye I said I'm ready to order man" a voice had knocked edwin out of his thoughts, bringing him back to reality. He looked up and Zion was now in his face.

"Sorry" edwin said sheepishly "what can I get for you?"

"just hot cocoa" Zion shrugged, and Edwin was perplexed, he had took damn near twenty minutes to look over the menu and decided upon a simple hot cocoa.

"Coming right up" edwin mumbled, he tried to not take annoyance in the fact that he only got a hot cocoa but he had a long day of being up studying until the a.m and then having to come into work early to cover a shift, he was tired and for some reason this simple order pushed him over the edge.

Zion must've noticed the attitude change because he looked at edwin quizzically, but said nothing.

Edwin made the cocoa in under two minutes. He put a cap on the cup and handed it over to Zion with a small fake smile. "Here you go, have a great rest of your day"

"Thanks edwin" Zion threw him a bright smile, one that instantly made edwin feel bad for giving him semi bad customer service "I hope your day gets better"

Zion turned and left as quickly as he came, leaving Edwin feeling like a dickhead. He sighed but tried to pull himself together to finish out the last hour in his ten hour shift.

When eight o'clock finally rolled around and edwin had did all of the pre-close work for his coworkers he finally got to clock out and go home. He dragged himself out of the store and to his car. As he drove back to campus, bopping along to some old Fantasia song that came on his throwback playlist he came across Zion standing in the street arguing with some girl, he slowed down to watch everything play out.

The girl was yelling at him, her hand centimeters from Zions face, Zion wasn't yelling back but you could see how angry he was without him expressing it. Edwin pulled over to the side wanting to hear what was being said.

"This is the type of shit I'm talking about Zion! You are delusional! If I wanted to cheat on you trust me, I would be able to hide it better" the girl said she still had her hands in Zions face. "I'm tired of this I'm tired of you projecting your insecurities into our relationship I'm done with this, with us" she said as she opened up her purse grabbed out her car keys and taking a key off the chain, she handed that key back to Zion and climbed into the car they were in front of and drove off.
