'Relive'

Chapter 7 - Part 1

                I put on my work top and tied my hair up in a ponytail, ‘’ We’re just friends,’’ I said to hair as I turned to face her, ‘’he made that clear last night.’’ I said to her, pissed at him. I looked in the mirror and applied a little bit of foundation and mascara, ‘’Just friends.’’ I repeated.

                ‘’Huh.’’ Cher said as closed and left the room. I could hear her go down the stairs as she do has a tendency to stomp really loud. Sawyer must have still been here as I could hear them exchanging goodbye morning kisses, quietly.

                I turned on the radio and continued to get ready. I looked over through the window, Nathan was already awake, and he wasn’t showing off his beautiful back which I might add was sculptured by God himself. I don’t know why, but I always find myself looking over his window. It was already eight so I rushed downstairs like Lightening McQueen. I didn’t have time to have a decent breakfast so i grabbed a banana from the fruit basket on the table, "Bye! Sorry, can’t talk this, I’m already late! See you later!" I said to Cher while she calmly ate her breakfast omelette. Side note, it’s a first that she didn’t burn down the house. You see Cher isn’t a cooking person.

"Bye! Have fun" Cher said with her mouth full.

 I ran to the door, literally, and quickly walked to work. This is going to be awkward with Nathan there, you know with the whole kissing episode. Ugh! Should i be, like normal? Or be that one per cent more intense? You know, act nervous around him. Well i don’t need to act, i get nervous around his beauty naturally. It's innate. I walked in the Coffee House. No sign of Nathan. I walked at ease to the counter and put on my apron. It wasn’t more than two seconds that i saw Nathan coming out of the bathroom. "Shit!" i whispered to myself. I started to panic for no valid reason at all. I started pacing, one step and going back.

"Morning,"  Nathan said as he stopped for a second and whispered into my ear and carried on.  The feels his breath gives me is unwritable. I couldn’t find the right words to explain them. Electric. Ecstatic. Powered. Warm.

 Nathan is the kind of guy you sort of hate, the guy you deeply wish you don’t like but in reality, all you want to do is kiss the life out him. He is a great distraction right now. I'm in the process of emotionally deleting Jonah. He made it clear that he only wants to be friends after i told him that his daughter died. I thought he'd want to resume our relationship since we never actually broke up. I thought he’d be more concerned about my feelings.

I was replying last night again, over and over. I kept repeating every word said. Trying to put every puzzle piece together, why would Desiree do so a thing. But then it hit me, "Ugh that manipulative, back stabber, double faced, jealous bitch!" I thought. I always knew that Desiree was the jealous type, but i never thought she'd come this far. That she’ll hold a grudge for years, for something that she brought it on herself. And also, if I might add, childish!

"Pardon your language" Tom said as he quietly limbed and sat on the stool in front of me while i wiped the coffee spill on the counter..

"Oh, good morning Tom," i must have been thinking aloud again, "sorry i was speaking to  myself" I apologized. It’s not the first time that I randomly say things that are on my mind. Someday i might get punched for saying something really offensive to someone without the intention.
