In Between

My eyes meet the set of eyes that had me irritated all evening before she quickly looks down, biting her lip.

She doesn't look up after she places the tray of drinks in front of me but just stands as if waiting for me to say something.

"Would you like to sit?" I ask before picking up my glass.

"What?.." she answers, not knowing what to say.

I make a come hither gesture.

"Would you like to sit, love?" I asked softly, my voice raspy and low from the joint I was smoking.

She straightens up a bit, before shaking her head, refusing my offer.

I sigh before leaning forward for her to bend again.

"You know, love, I know you were working and I also know that you should have clocked out hours ago but you didn't. You were just helping them out." She gasps in surprise, lifting her gaze to me as I said this.

"I saw you on your way out with your bag before you decided to stay back after staring at me the first time. So, again, sweetheart, would you like to sit?"
I ask with smirk on my face. She blushes before she decides to take a seat between Yareli and myself. I barely register Yareli getting up with a smirk and walking past us as my eyes are on this dark curly hair.

Understanding the meaning of "capricious", came to Sage at the young age. She understood that life as we know it, is fickle and never plays fair.

So she played the long waiting game when it came to life relationships. Staying in between.

Question is, how long till you decide it's enough and make a choice?
