The Deal Of Deals

Chapter Two.

I woke up the next morning with my head hurting. I moaned in pain and buried my face in the pillow, Closing my eyes to forget the pain but in vain. I clutched my head and gently pressed it, Only resulting in messing my hair up furthermore. The pain didn't ease a bit.

I refrain myself from screaming in frustration and push myself off the bed. I pull up my legs to my chest and place my head on my knees. I had no clue why this was happening. I hadn't suffered from this since....

I looked up, my eyes filling with tears. I let out a sob, Quickly wiping away the tears.

"No, No more crying, Cass. You've got over it all. You have to." I chided, Getting off the bed. My head protested in pain but I ignored it. I pulled open my drawer and hunted for a painkiller.

Once I found it, I gulped it down with some warm water and headed towards the bathroom. I needed a hot shower and some coffee.

Yeah, I was a caffeine addict.

***********

I was dressed in a full sleeved white top and jeans. I put on my black coat on top of it and black boots to go with it. I felt a bit better with warm clothes.

I picked up my purse and phone and got out of the house, Locking it behind me. 

This was it, I was finally going to meet him and clear all my doubts. Maybe, Even his?

**********

The coffee shop was almost empty. Of course, It was just 7 am in the morning and it was snowing, Just like I had predicted last night.

I entered the cafe and sighed with pleasure as the heat and faint smell of coffee welcomed me. I smiled a bit and scanned the seats, Looking for a certain someone.

Finally, My eyes settled on him. He was sitting with a cup of coffee placed neatly in front of him. His eyes were set outside, His fingers idly moving along the rim of the cup. I cleared my throat and headed towards him.

He still hadn't noticed me as I sat down. So, i cleared my throat again and his eyes snapped to mine.

He looked good, I'd grant him that. He was dressed in a brown coat which prevented me from seeing what he was wearing inside. His dark hair had been tamed today, Maybe with some gel? 
His dark eyes were dead set on me, His face expressionless.

"Hey." I whispered, Licking my dry lips to get back some moisture. His gaze flickered to my lips and back to my eyes.

"Hey." He replied, Taking a sip of the warm coffee. 

"I- I'll be right back" I said, Getting off the seat to get myself some coffee, too. He nodded and fixed his gaze on his cup, His fingers still moving around the rim.

I walked over to the counter and smiled at the old lady, Which she returned with a warm smile of her own. It seemed real and heartwarming, Nothing like those fake and practised smiles which the waitresses in MC.Donald's gave.

"Hey, Linda. A pretty nice day, huh?" I asked, fetching for some money in my purse. She grinned, Nodding at me as she turned to prepare my coffee.

"Sure is. So, The usual for you, Dear?" She asked, Inclining her head towards me. I grinned back at her and nodded.

She knew what I always ordered. I've been visiting every weekend for almost two years now.

"Yes, Please." I replied, Leaning on the counter. She nodded again and went back to making some coffee as the other waitress, Her daughter, Picked up a freshly made croissant for me. I flashed a smile at her to which she replied by placing my croissant in front of me with a half-hearted smile.

My own smile faltered as I stare at her in confusion. She was never this grumpy or distracted. In fact, She was just like her mother, Sweet and kind. Something was definitely off about her today.

"Here. Your order." Linda said, placing the cup next to the croissant. I looked back at her and leaned forward.

"What's wrong with Jess? She seems a bit.. Off today." I whispered, Making sure she didn't hear me. Linda shot a quick glance at Jessie and looked back at me, A frown etching her features.

"I don't know, really. She's been like this for the past two days." She replied, Letting out a deep sigh. I nodded at her, Paying her for the coffee and croissant. She accepted it and smiled again.

I headed back to my table, A small frown on my face. I slid into the seat next to him and stared at the coffee.

"What's wrong?" He asked, Making me snap my head to him.

"Nothing... Jess just seemed off today.." I reply, Scowling at him as an amused expression took over his face.

"What?" I ask, Looking at him in confusion. He shook his head and chuckled, Leaning back on his seat.

"Nothing. I just find it amusing that you are worried about what is going on with a coffee shop's waitress-" He leaned forward, His face very close to mine. I could see the slight freckles on his face and notice that his lips were slightly chapped.

"When you are in deep trouble, Cass" He ended, His eyes growing a shade darker. I coughed a bit, leaning back away from him.

"Vincent, look it wasn't-" He cut me off with his own words.

"I know it isn't your fault, Cass." He said, Waving his hand dismissively. I looked up at him, my eyes shining with hope and my lips stretched into a smile.

"You do? I mean, You trust me?" I asked. He looked at me as if I were insane.

"Of course, Cass. I knew it wasn't you. You aren't someone who could do something like that." He said, Shaking his head at me. I let out a sigh of relief, Taking a long sip of my coffee.

"Thank you, Vincent. I really don't know how to thank you, Honestly. I'm glad, At least someone trusts me." I say, Licking my lips again.

"There are people who trust you, Cass. The point is, They are afraid to get into all this." He said, His face serious. I blinked at him, Trying to form words.

"And you aren't?" I ask, Taking a small bite of my croissant. That was when he smirked at me, A slow and sexy smirk.

"I was already into all this, My dear Cass."
