I tap my fingers on the table and wait for the waitress to come back around. I keep telling her, "five more minutes, please." Eventually she's going to stop coming around. It's been thirty minutes and I'm starting to wonder if she's coming. 

"Are you ready yet?" The waitress keeps her annoyed expression as I pick the menu up. 

I glace at their winter specials and shrug. "Two peppermint mocha's, I guess."

"Whip cream?" I nod and she writes it down on the notepad. I sink into my seat and look at my watch again. It's only been a minute, Zayn. You need to chill. She'll come eventually. 

Minutes tick by as I listen to the slight chatter of everyone around me. People on the streets hurrying to finish their last minute Christmas shopping. "She'll be here."

"Your mocha's, sir." She sets them down on the table and I thank her. I leave the money on the table with a tip and sit back in my seat. "Mia?"

I look at the people across the street from the cafe and squint to get a better look at the girl in the black dress. Mia. She's across the street. Is she about to cross the street? I watch her for a moment and notice that she stops and looks in this direction, but keeps walking. I grab my two mocha's off the table and hurry outside. "Mia!" I yell. 

My yell goes unnoticed over the sound of the city. I look both ways for traffic and run to the other side of the street. "Mia! Wait!" She keeps walking and I try to catch up to her, nearly running into a few people. 

I finally catch up to Mia and I try to get in front of her. "Wait!" I stop in front of her. "What are you doing?"

She stops abrubtly and pulls the headphones out of her ear. "Zayn? What are you doing?" She asks confused.

I take a deep breath and try to contain myself. "I was at the cafe. I asked you to come and you didn't. What are you doing?" 

"I didn't know I was supposed to meet you and I wouldn't of went if I did know, Zayn." She adjusts her purse strap on her shoulder and walks past me. 

I walk a little faster and stop in front of her again. "Mia, please. I apologized for what happened. Didn't you get my messages?" 

She shrugs. "No. I haven't been on deviant art in two weeks."

"I apologized. I know I was a total dick and I'm sorry. I understand that you're mad, but please try to forgive me." I extend the mocha out to her and she reaches for it. 

She shakes her head and takes a sip of the mocha. "I'll think about it, Zayn."

"Where are you going now?" 

"I have a date with a guy in my class. His name is Jason."

"Oh," I look at her dress. "I understand."

After a minute of just staring at each other, Mia looks down at her phone. "How about if I give you my number?"

"Sure," I hand her my phone and she hands me hers. I put my number in her phone and we switch again.

Mia nods her head and puts her phone in her purse. "I'll talk to you later, Zayn."
