The bus I rode stopped in front of the diner; it was a rainy evening but I couldn't make a fuss. Forks was a refreshing change from where I used to live but it was safe, no one really knew me here and I liked that. Succeeding to clock into my shift, I put my apron on and began taking orders in my station. An hour had gone by and the sun was beginning to set. Carefully, I made a pot of hot coffee and ran a cup out to a table. The bell to the diner rung, I turned my head around to see who had entered.
"So it's true, you are working here!" A cheerful voice exclaims as a big grin spreads across my face; it's my cousin.
"Quil!" I exclaim happily. I come out from behind the counter to give him a hug. He grins and embraces me in a warm hug.
"How'd you know I was working here?" I ask.
"Your mom told my mom." He shrugs casually.
I roll my eyes but smile. I had hoped to keep a low profile, but I knew eventually Quil would know where I worked.
"She really misses you; you know." He says referring to my mom. "My mom told me she keeps asking about you."
Quil's mom and my mom are sisters so they tend to talk regularly. I look down at my shoes for a moment before looking back up at him.
"I know...I miss her, too. I just had to get out of there." I reply now feeling a little glum.
"You know if you ever need anything you can always come to me, right?" He responds, his voice is kind.
"I know, thank you." I tell him as I smile at Quil.
He has always been that older protective cousin who I was pretty close with when I was a child. My mom and I used to live in Forks when I was much younger before we moved away to Colorado with my dad. I haven't seen Quil since then but we were really close before I moved to Colorado. I'm glad I chose to move back to Forks, it feels so great seeing him again.
"I missed you." I hear myself speak.
"Who wouldn't miss me." Quil grins provokingly. I roll my eyes friskly punch his shoulder.
"You should come by tonight; you have to meet everyone. We're all having dinner and watching movies at my place." He says cheerfully.
"Okay, sure, I get off in a couple of hours. Do I have time to change at my apartment first?" I ask curiously.
"That's fine, I'll text you the address." Quil answers before turning to the door. "See you tonight."
As I open my apartment door and set my purse down, I made my way down the hallway to take a quick shower. After my shower, I put on jeans, a sweater, my warmest jacket, and a pair of boots. The sudden ringing of my phone causes me to jump from the silence in my apartment. It's Paul, I quickly answered it.
"Hello?" I speak into the receiver.
"Hey, Willow. How are you today?" He cheerfully asks. I smile suddenly feeling slightly giddy.
"I'm good, thanks! How are you?" I ask him.
Talking and laughter of other people can be heard in the background of the phone, maybe he is at a restaurant or at his family's home visiting.
"Not bad, I wanted to call you though." Paul speaks. "I've been looking forward to talking to you again."
I can feel my cheeks getting warm from his words. This is only my second time talking with him but I like it.
"Aw, thanks. I've been looking forward to it too." I tell him honestly.
I officially enjoy talking to him, he seems like a good person to talk to. There's a light chuckle from Paul that makes my cheeks feel hot, I like the sound of it.
