Space tea

; white tea

That Monday and the rest of the week, the boy in black came every night at exactly 9pm with a different book each day. And I've served him every time he's come to the shop as I'd try to make casual conversation with him. Though it's been hard since he's always almost finishing my sentences and it does get frustrating at times. I still don't know how he manages to answer my questions and it's usually my thoughts. Maybe it's some weird telepathy thing he has but it's still sketchy how he can answer before I finish a damn question. Sometimes I wonder if he can really read my thoughts. That would be pretty brutal for him since my mind is a scary place.

"Alright, here is your spa-"

"Thanks". He took the cup of tea from my hands and resumed reading his book.
I sat on the other side of the booth with my elbows on the table and my chin in the palm of my hands. He took it unnoticed as I stared at him while he read his damn book.

{switches pov to Jago}

She sat in front of me just staring at me while I read my book but what I was really doing right now was reading her thoughts.

Why does he always bring a book and a different one at that. Not that I'm against books because I'm completely passionately in love with books. But when someone sits in front of you, I assume you should at least have the decency to put the book down and talk the the waiting person.

I slammed the book down making her flinch.
"Fine. What do you want." I demanded.

"I just wanted to talk". She said shyly as she bit her lip.
But her thoughts said otherwise.
Oh, I don't know, just the fact that you come at this shop at exactly 9pm and every time you do, you bring a different book. What are your reading abilities because I placed fastest reader in my class so there's no way you can read a book in an hour. Or how about the fact that your so gorgeous and those eyes are so captivating and mesmerizing, or please just let me run my fingers through your beautiful luscious brown hair, God no one should be this good looking.

Jesus Christ, for a person that comes off as shy, she's pretty a mouthful in her mind.

All this time, I was grinning and trying to hold in my laugh at the 'secret' comments inside her head, little did she know I could read them all.

"What about your name?" She asked.

"Jago." I smiled. Like an actual real smile showing my pearly whites like my mother would say and she reciprocated the gesture.

Jago? That's a name? A weird name at that? I wonder where it's from.

"I know, weird name, family was always big on weird 'unique' names." I air quoted unique and shrugged.

"No, I like it! I mean take my name for example, Cora, I guess it's a bit unique but I don't mind." She pointed to a co-worker behind a cash register.
"Emme's real name is Emersyn but she hates it when I clearly love it, but she prefers Emme so I had to accomplish her wish." She laughed and I knew what was coming.
"Hey! You finally let me finish more than one sen-"

"Don't flatter yourself." I interrupted to just to spite her and because I had read that already in her mind but I couldn't read the other part which was why I let her finish.

She hadn't thought about it before saying which is weird since I've come to known that Cora is the type of person to always think before speaking, hell, she even thinks before thinking. It was a good thing though because she always thought before speaking so she wouldn't sound stupid, I'd learned that in her thoughts. I have to say though that from reading her thoughts for a while now, her mind is actually a scary place and I don't mind because mine is ten times worse.

But when she's close to me, her thoughts are always about my eyes or my hair or my body in general which makes me a bit uncomfortable but it's cute when she gets flustered by her own thoughts and her cheeks turn a bright pink taint when she thinks a merely dirty thought about me.

-Important! ok, so a bit confusing with the 'think' and 'thoughts' And 'speak before blah blah' I know. But basically one of Jago's abilities allows him to read people's minds(basically, thoughts) but only if the person is 10 feet within him so if they're any further than that, he can't read their mind.

Oh! And another ability is that he can read any book in less than an hour so that's why he always carries a different book. Hope this clears up things. x
