YOUR POV

Claudia took off her sunglasses so I can see her eyes now. As I look into them I realise I start falling. No, no no, not now. You can't, get yourself together!

"Uhhh I got your drink. I hope you'll enjoy it." I hand her her drink. When she takes it from me, our hands touch for a very short moment, but it IS a moment.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to get into your personal bubble." I say with apple red cheeks.

She just starts laughing. "It's no big deal. Hey, I didn't catch your name."

"That's because I didn't throw it." I say with a playful wink.

BILLIE POV

I laugh at her silly joke. There's something about this girl. I wanna get to know her better. I look at my cup and see she put a heart on my i, which isn't even my i. I smile at it, I'm gonna keep this cup. I turn my attention back to this mysterious girl.

"No but seriously tho, what's your name?"

"Jack! There you are." I suddenly heard. Jack.. that name's fire tho. Jack turns around and greets the person who just walked in, apparently called Ruby. Ruby walks back without noticing me.

"Well now you know my name. It's actually Jacklyn." She says. Jacklyn, even more beautiful. "Jacklyn, your name is so dope." I say. She sits down beside me. Suddenly, I hear a very familiar voice.

YOUR POV

Omg, it's "8". "8" is playing right now. I've waited for this.

"Okay I'm sorry but this is like, my favourite song at the moment. It's by this artist called Billie Eilish, have you heard of her?"

"That does ring a bell, yes."

"Do you mind if I sing along for a sec?" I walk to the laptop to turn the music up a bit.

"Not at all, you've made me curious about this Billie girl."

The song starts.

BILLIE POV

Wait a minute, let me finish
I know you don't care
But, can you listen?
I came committed, guess I overdid it
Wore my heart out on a chain
Around my neck but now it's missing, hmm
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Oh, hmm
So I think I better go
I never really know how to please you
You're looking at me like I'm see through
I guess I'm gonna go
I just never know how you feel
Do you even feel anything?
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Oh, hmm
You said don't treat me badly
But you said it so sadly
So I did the best I could
Not thinking you would have left me gladly
I know you're not sorry
Why should you be
'Cause who am I to be in love
When your love never is for me
Me
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Oh, hmm
So I think I better go
I never really know how to please you
You're looking at me like I'm see through
I guess I'm gonna go
I just never know how you feel
Do you even feel anything?

It's weird hearing your own voice like this. I mean, I've heard the song a thousand times now, but it's different when someone, with a beautiful voice by the way, sings it for you. I listened to every word she sung, of course knowing what comes next. The songs over.

"Girl you sing beautiful. I wish I could hear it more often." I meant it, I wanna hear her sing more of my songs.

She looks at her feet, a little embarrassed, but flattered. "Thank you." She says, with her voice like an angel.

She looks up and I get lost in her eyes. My eyes quickly flash to her lips. They are beautiful. I quickly look back at her eyes, before she gets any ideas. Out of nowhere, she jumps up, causing my cup to fall on my lap.

"Oh my goodness I am so so sorry, I'm such an idiot. I realised I had to go back to work and I freaked out and jumped up and now your clothes got coffee on them." She says as she runs to get towels.

All I can do is laugh. She's really cute, panicking like this. "Hey hey it's okay my love, relax."

"No no it's not okay." She says. As she runs to me to clean me up I take her head with both my hands and look at her.

YOUR POV

Omg what is she doing? She looks so pretty. I feel the tension in my body disappear and she lets go of my face. "This coffee is on me. I'm so sorry. My shift ends in 20 minutes, if you want we can go to my place so you can take a shower and I can wash your clothes?" I say. I feel so guilty. She smiles and agrees to my proposal. I'm glad I get to do something.

I hand her some more paper towels and make my way to the door. I say "sorry" one more time but all she does is smile. I make my way out of the door, sigh very deep and get back to work.

Ruby immediately walks up to me, asking me what happened. All I can say is "I think I have a crush."
