Silent Memories (Emery Scott)

Chapter Twenty:

Emery Scott~

I didn't want to keep Axel waiting but I couldn't find anything nice to wear, everything I put on made me look huge, stupid or ugly no wait actually all three. I know I am not the biggest person in the room but today I felt it.

"Emery, pick something to bloody wear I am starving" Axel whined as I slammed the last draw shut. I know he was becoming impatient but he was driving me insane. I picked up an off the shoulder top and chucked on some fresh underwear and black skinny jeans running the brush through my knotted hair, I didn't feel pretty I felt plain. I felt to plain to be seen With Axel. I applied some mascara and ran to the bathroom to brush my teeth spraying some perfume and going for a wee in the process. I walked out over to where Axel stood and took my jacket and bag from his arms sliding on my Toms quickly. "Wow" he whispered as he looked at me although I didn't feel very wow.

We walked to his car silently, which I didn't mind to be honest I was having a serious low moment with my confidence I felt stupid. I was intrigued to know where we was going for breakfast because I wasn't familiar with the route we was going. "Where are we going" I asked after a few more moments of silence.

"Just wait and see" he replied which wound me up I don't want to wait and see I want to know now. God I was sounding like both my mum and my dad and neither of them have ever been very patient. "Unknit your eyebrows grumpy" hearing him call me grumpy made a small smile play on my lips, I love this playful side of Axel the one where he teases me and laughs with me.

Eventually we pull into a street where a little cafe was situated on the corner of the street, Megs. it looked run down but oddly enough very beautiful. Something about this place made me feel inspired. The door creaked as it opened and the place was rather empty but it still remained beautiful. "I know it looks dated but it's lovely to eat here" he said quietly as we walked towards a table.

"No, it's beautiful" I replied as I sat down. I collected a menu from from the end o the table and began to browse, I didn't realise how hungry I was until my stomach began to growl. I blushed at the loud noise and Axel chuckled as me shaking his head, the mention of Jake wanting a sausage sandwich instantly made me fancy one with some fries.

"What are you gonna get?" he asked gesturing towards the menu.

"Erm, sausage sandwich along with some fries and a coke" I replied closing my menu. Axel pushed himself out of the table and walked over to the counter where a beautiful girl stood waiting to take his order. I felt a tingle in my stomach as I watched this pretty girl flirt with Axel, like a sense of jealously was swimming around my stomach especially when I could see Axel was lavishing it up. I pulled my phone out my pocket scrolling through my social media whilst I waited for Axel to finish flirting, I kept asking myself if I had any right to be jealous... I barley even knew the boy and that is what pissed me off more.

Eventually Axel joined me after finishing talking to his blonde friend bringing me a cold glass of coke and his Fanta, he shot me a cheeky smile as he sat back down. "Thanks" I mumble as I take the cold drink into my hands instantly bringing it to my lips where I am met with the delicious taste of sugar.

"I don't know how you can drink so much of that" he said after a few seconds of silence.

"It's nice, I love drinking coke more than any other drink" I replied shrugging as I locked my phone and placed it back into my pocket.

"It's nice but I wouldn't be able to drink it as much as you do" and how would he know how much I drink?

"Oh... and how do you know I drink it a lot?" I asked curiously.

"Something you will learn about me little Emery, I am very observant when I want to be" he replied. The way he called me 'little Emery' made me feel like he was mocking me.
