Mia's pov
A few weeks had passed since the incident between me, the twins and Boggi.
I haven't been in contact with either of them since then. Ivan would text me now and again but we never went into deep conversation.
I spent most of my time hanging around with dad and I even got me a casual job.
At Starbucks.
I know what you thinking. Doesn't Boggi and the boys hang out most of their days there? Yeah, they do, but after everything that had happened, I haven't seen them out here really.
I don't think they're even talking to each other.
I still feel horrible for being the reason to break up a trio like that.
I would never be able to forgive myself.
Currently it was mid day. I worked in front by the till, taking orders with my Starbucks apron wrapped around my body.
I called out the name of the girl who's coffee I just finished making and she collects it.
She thanks me and I call for the next customer. When we make eye contact, both our eyes go big in surprise.
"Ivan. What are you doing here?"
He looks at me weirdly, "Ordering coffee, I believe that's what we do here right? I think I should be the one asking you that."
I mentally face palm myself.
"Sorry, I- It's just been so long..."
"Yeah, it has," He scans my apron, "You work here now?"
"Yep, I officially have a job. No more depending on no one..."
He nods slowly.
We stand in awkward silence for a few moments.
Ivan then smacks his lips together before ordering, "The usual, please." He hands me his money.
I grab a cup and write his name on to it.
"So, how've you been?" He asks me while I make his coffee.
How have I really been? That's a question I ask myself alot recently and never have a honest answer because honestly, I don't know myself.
"I've been okay, how about you?" I quickly switch the conversation on him.
"I've been okay too, thanks. Just been kind of quiet in the house recently."
I look at him and he bites the inside of his cheek.
"I see..." I mutter, "Quiet like how exactly?"
I hand him his drink which he thanks me for.
He shrugs, "The boys have been on their own alot recently. Emilio stays in his room, he wouldn't even make one single tik tok with me. Boggi has been traveling by train to who knows where."
"Wow...I'm sorry to hear that."
I really was sorry.
He shrugs again, "It's okay really. I'm fine on my own. I'm kind of getting used to it so..."
We both then go quiet.
Ivan looks up at me and a smile rises onto his lips, "It's just really good to see you again."
"Yeah. Same." I smile back up at him, his blue eyes shining as he stares back into my brown ones.
"When are you finished working?" He asks randomly.
"My shift ends in about an hour. Why?"
"I'm taking you out." He says casually.
I frown in confusion.
"What do you mean you taking me out?"
"Shopping, maybe get something to eat, a movie?" He suggests.
"I don't know..." I chuckle under my breath.
"Come on it'll be fun. It's been a while since I had fun and I'm guessing you as well."
I think about it for a second.
"Fine. Wait for me in one of the booths." I motion for him to go and sit in one of the booths which he does.
When my shift ends, Ivan drives us over to the mall.
"So what do you wanna do first?" He asks.
"I don't know. You brought me here, you pick."
"Yet you are the guest." He smirks down at me.
I roll my eyes playfully at him, "Fine, let's go to the clothing stores."
"Yes! I was hoping you would say that. I'm in need of a new hoodie anyways. Let's go!" He grabs my wrist and drags me to one of the clothing stores.
When we found a couple of clothing items, Ivan thought it would be a good idea to dress up in the mid thigh dresses I have picked out for him.
I waited in the waiting area while he got dressed in the dressing room.
"Are you ready?" Ivan asks me.
"More than ready." I laugh and I start filming on my phone.
Ivan models out of the room with a tight mid thigh red dress and a big sun hat on and I couldn't contain my loud bursts of laughter.
"Omg, look! It's Ivana back from the dead!" I laugh as I film Ivan modeling around the dressing room.
When he catches me filming, he then tackles me to the ground in an attempt to grab the phone out of my hands.
"Give me that phone!" He pins me to the ground.
"Never!" I argue as I start laughing out again.
"Fine, you asked for it." He says before he starts tickling my sides.
I hated being tickled.
"Ok-okay! Okay, f-fine! I surrender!" I say between breaths.
He grabs my phone out of my hands and gets off from me.
I stand up and try to catch my breath.
I catch him doing a pouty face and taking a selfie on my phone before tossing it back to me which I catch successfully.
I swipe through the pictures he took and find the video of him modeling.
"You didn't delete the video?"
"Nah, keep it. You have to admit, I look hella good." He pouts and does a pose which makes me break out into a fit of laughter again.
