ONYX [C.S]

5.

Onyx woke up the next morning in her bed a sleeping Jasmine next to her. Jasmine was snoring loudly and had drool coming out her mouth. Onyx smiled before rolling up and checking her phone. It was just passed midday so she kissed the idea of her going to the library goodbye.

She had one unopened message from a unknown number. She opened it.

From: unknown.
Why'd you save your number on my phone as Nix when I said I'm gonna call you Onyx?

She instantly knew he it was from and grinned before replying.

To: Cole
Force of habit.

Onyx sent the message before putting her phone under her pillow before trying to get back to sleep before it started vibrating. She pulled out her phone to see Cole was calling her.

"Hi," Onyx said groggily and Cole chuckled.
"Try not to sound too excited to hear my voice," he responded making Onyx laugh and roll her eyes.

"You piece of shit, I just woke up," Onyx answered and she heard him chuckle.

"How's the hangover, Princess?" Cole asked and Onyx smiled at the nickname before answering.

"It's here and it's present. Yours?" Onyx asked and Cole chuckled. Jasmine heard her friend on the phone and woke up and just watched her.

"Don't get them. I'm tired though," Cole answered and Jasmine heard him. She rolled her eyes before poking Onyx on the chest making her laugh.

"So I guess that means you're staying in all day then?" Onyx asked and Jasmine rolled her eyes before pulling out her own phone.

"Just ask me what you want to ask me. I only bite sometimes, Onyx," Cole said and Onyx rolled her eyes.

"I don't want to ask you anything." Onyx lied and Jasmine scoffed and Cole chuckled.
"Uh-huh. Never pegged you for childish. I'll say it then," Cole said and Onyx yawned before sitting up in bed.

"Say what?" Onyx asked confused before nudging Jasmine and putting the phone on loud speaker.
"Coffee in a hour. I'll text you where. Don't stand me up." Cole said before hanging up and Onyx and Jasmine both squealed.

                                           XXXX

Cole stood outside the coffee shop smoking while waiting for Onyx to show up. He pulled out his phone scrolling aimlessly through his unopened text messages to see if there was anyone worth replying too. He put his cigarette to his lips and inhaled deeply.

"A disgusting habit." A voice said and Cole exhaled before turning to look at her. She was wearing black sweats and a black graphic hoodie. Her thick long black hair pulled into a a high ponytail, a few strands escaping from the front. She wasn't wearing any makeup today but she still looked beautiful.

"We all have disgusting habits." Cole said while taking in her appearance and Onyx smiled. He put out his cigarette before nodding towards the coffee shop. He opened the door allowing Onyx to walk in first.

"Chivalry isn't dead," Onyx joked before walking towards a booth and Cole rolled his eyes before going to order their drinks.

A few minutes later Cole sat down opposite her and put a cup down in front of her.

"Large caramel macchiato." Cole Said and Onyx smiled before taking a sip from her drink as Cole took a sip from his.

"So, Cole. What do you study?" Onyx asked and Cole shot her a look before running a hand through his dyed black hair.

"When Philosophy and the History of Art," Cole answered and Onyx's eyes widened in shock and Cole smiled slightly.

"Shocked? What did you think I studied?" Cole asked and Onyx shrugged before replying.
