After sending Katie that text I completely regretted it, what an utter arsehole, like she'd actually want to talk to me all I've been doing is ignoring her.

I didn't intend to ignore her it just didn't feel right, the first time we ever talked it felt like it was meant to happen but now I just never know what to say.

I'm quite bad at getting to know people and stuff that's probably why everyone that I've ever gotten close to I've pushed away, even my parents, so far that they don't want anything to do with me again.

I find Katie very intriguing and I just want to know more and more about her. I've been thinking back to when I went to the coffee shop and how Monica came and sat with me and then Katie's mood changed almost instantly and I don't know why.

I want to meet up with her and just talk, talk about her, her interests and hobbies. I just want to know her.

How could I say no? I've been wanted to talk to him for days now so it'd seem wrong to decline. I replied with a simple 'sure, coffee shop at 10?' which he answered with ' of course.' Now for the big struggle of what to wear...

After laying 4 outfits out on my bed and trying them all on at least 2 times each I decided on the casual black skinny jeans, black boots, band t-shirt and a flannel.

I then decided to make my face look a little more presentable with some foundation, bronzer, eyeliner, mascara and a vintage pink lipstick. Perfect.

*half an hour later*

Seems as it wasn't my shift today my co-worker Isaac was working on the till so i went over and ordered a peppermint tea for myself and a regular coffee for Ashton as he hadn't arrived yet.

I was tapping my finger inpatiently and slowly drinking my tea when Ashton finally turned up. "Nice of you to actually turn up!" I said sarcastically. He sat down with a smirk on his face "That's what I was thinking about you!"

"I'll always show up, I've got nothing else to do so you don't need to worry about that" I laughed. "Katie?" "Yes?" "What's your idea of love? Like what do you think of it?" he asked.

"It's a very weird emotion I guess, I hate how there's like 10 year olds that are 'going out' and say that they love each other and it'll be 'me and you forever' because I sincerely doubt that. However I think when you're in love you'll know about it..definitely."

"Very detailed answer" he chuckled. "Why did you ask me that?" "I just wanted to know your own opinion on things that's all". "That's a surprise most people don't really care about what I think" I attempted to laugh it off, it didn't really work.

"And Katie I just want to say" he started as he grabbed and help both of my hands in his "I saw how you changed moods in the coffee shop last and I wanted you to know that the girl was my friend Monica, I grew up with her" He said with a reassuring smile.

Relief washed over me "Oh wow thank god" I saw the smirk on his face with made me blush. Maybe I shouldn't of said that out loud.
