Sequel to Just Another Love Story It's been 2 years since I've seen or talked to Alex. I moved out and got my own apartment that same day I rejected him. I haven't had a relationship since then. In my heart I hurt. It sometimes feels like one thousand knives jabbing into my heart. Sometimes the pain goes away..other times it last for awhile. Today I'm at work. I work at a coffee shop. I run the cash register, it's not the best job but hey it's putting a roof over my head. Suddenly I hear someone saying "Excuse me. Mam' did you hear my order" I look up and shake my head "Sorry I didnt. Can you repeat?" In front of me I saw a tall handsome guy. He had brown eyes and almost black hair. "Oh yeah sure I want a Vanilla Bean Frap. And a chocolate muffin" I ring him up " Your total is $8.67" he hands me the money. Our fingers touch. It sends sparks down my body. I felt like doing 1000 backflips. My heart was racing. I felt my face get hot. "Sorry" I say. That was the beginning of something great. Feedback?
Marias POV __________________________________ It's been two weeks since that dude has came into the shop. I haven't seen him around anywhere. Like usual I was up at the cash register in my Hollister jeans that fit me skin tight, my silver sparky flats, and my black shirt which had printed across my chest StarBucks. I didn't like where they chose to put the name. But, oh well I'll get over it. I kept my eye on the door, waiting, waiting for him to walk in. Today had been a slow day, in total we had like 10 customers and it was near closing time. I looked down to check my phone 10:55 pm. We closed at 11:00 pm. At that moment I heard the chimes go off. Which meant someone had walked in. I quickly stashed my phone in my pocket and looked up. It was him. The dude I hadn't seen for 2 weeks. I didn't even know his name but yet I liked him. "Hello Sir. May I take your order?" He says "Um yeah. I would like a cup of hot chocolate and a chocolate muffin" I make the order and give it to him "That'll be $6.45" He hands me the money and his hand brushes against mine just like last time. I felt my heart explode. "One second let me grab your receipt" I quickly grab the receipt and at the bottom I write: Maria's #: 123-456-7890 I quickly handed it to him. He glanced over it. I saw him look at the bottom with a puzzled look but he nodded and walked out of the store.
Aww this is gonna be one of those stories where I want them to be together straight away I hate waiting
Maria's POV __________________________________ Later that night I was sitting in my apartment. It was cold. It sent chills down my back. I grabbed my blanket and snuggled into on the couch. I looked around I sure missed being in Alex's arms when I was cold. He was always warm. The way he would hold me made me feel special. I haven't seen or heard from him. I want to call him so bad but I'm scare of what he'll say to me and I'm also afraid that he may hate me. Out of no where I hear my cell phone ringing. "Ughhh" I get up and go and get my phone out of my purse. Unknown Number was shown across the screen in flashing letters. I hesitated to answer. I was so nervous my finger hit the answer button. I pull the phone to my ear "Hello this is M...Maria. May I ask who's c..calling" It was a guys voice.Deep and mysterious that answered my question "Hey I'm Nick. You wrote your number on the bottom of my receipt" My body tensed up. I never thought he would actually call. " Haha hey Nick. Um listen I know the guy usually does this but do you wanna meet up for dinner tomorrow" I could feel the awkwardness but then I heard him say "Yes" then the line went dead. Feedback?
