Amanda

Thank God today is Saturday, I'm currently sitting in Molly's Diner and it is cold as hell so I decided to wear leggings, a sweater with a coat over me and my black Adidas takkies. It's that cold I tell you.

"Hi, can I get you anything?" A waitress says.

"Uhm, yes, can I please have your breakfast special and a cup of cappuccino."

"Sure thing! Just sit back, relax and your order will be ready in 15 minutes." I smile back her as she leaves to prepare my order.

I sigh, "Now what?" On that thought I hear the door bell go off as a sign that a new customer is entering.

I tap my finger on the table, waiting for my order to arrive. "Hi."

"How did you know I was here? Are you following me? You know what just go away." I say, folding my arms across my chest.

"Wait, Amanda, let me explain myself before chasing me away." I stay quiet, allowing him to explain himself, to fix what is starting to break between us.

"You know how hectic matric can be and we started writing our exams a week earlier than you guys and it's been my priority." I think about it, he is right, he is in matric and he's got a busier schedule than mine.

I start to loosen thinking that I'm being too hard on him, but then Xavier, his friend approaches us. "Hey man, tanks for organising that party cover for me man, so come over at the house later and I'll pay you." He leaves, patting him on the back.

Wow, to think I believed him. "Just leave Austin." I say as the waitress comes over, bringing my order.

"Thanks." I tell her.

"Hi, can I get you anything?"

I answer for him, "Uh, no, that won't be necessary. He is leaving."

"I'll have what she's having." He smiles at her as she goes back into the kitchen to prepare his order.

I sigh, there's nothing I can  do now, I'm just going to eat my breakfast.

"Okay look, what Xavier said is true but I've also been focused on my studies."

"And doing the parties cover of course."

"Okay, you upset I understand and I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?" I'm slicing my bacon in half, imaging it to be his neck.

"I'm sorry for...ignoring you." I drop my fork on the plate, making a clattering sound.

I nod my head up and down. "That. Definitely that. Why did you do it? Why did you ignore me? Is it because I said no to having sex with you?" I whisper the last part.

"What? Baby, no! Its not that."

"Then what is it Austin!?"

He grabs my hand, "I'm sorry, baby, I was being a jerk and I'm sorry. I know I hurt your feelings by being a jerk to you and I apologise about how I treated you. I'm sorry and I promise to never treat you like that again. Baby, I love you and I wouldn't do anything to jeapodize us."

Awww, he loves me.

My shoulders slump down.

"Am I forgiven?" He asks, giving my puppy eyes.

I sigh. "You forgiven. " I whisper out to him.

"Thank you. I promise I won't ever do this again."

I smile at him, I hope so Austin. I truly hope so.
