The one (Ruel fanfic) {ON HOLD}

2

I was singing quietly behind the cashier when the door opened. I looked up and smiled as Ruel walked up to the counter, he'd become a good friend over the last week. He came in at the same time everyday and ordered the same thing, then went and sat at the same table and wrote in his notebook.

"Hey" I said, "the usual?"

"Yup" he smiled, "your spin on the iced coffee is everything I didn't know I needed in life"

I laughed

"It's not that great but thank you" I chuckled

"Can I get it to go today" he asked

I pouted

"You're not gonna stay and talk to me today" I asked

"I have to be somewhere" he said apologetically

"It's fine" I smiled

I slid the coffee and muffin over to him and he turned to leave. I quickly grabbed a piece of scrap paper and scribbled my number down

"Hey Ruel" I called

He turned back innocently sipping his coffee and I chuckled. I slid the piece of paper across and he walked back towards me

"Text me" i smiled

His face broke out into a wide grin

"I will" he smiled

My shift went incredibly quickly today and because it was Friday it was busier than usual. I walked home like always but my mum was out on a business trip for the weekend. My night consisted of pizza, ice cream and Netflix. I got a call about halfway through my 3rd episode of Pretty little liars.

"Hello?" I asked

"Hey Isla" Ruel's voice sounded through my phone, "it's Ruel"

"Well hi there" I smiled, "miss me already"

"Oh please" he scoffed, "I got through the whole week without having ur number didn't I"

"Rude" I huffed

Ruel just chuckled

"So why'd you call, not text?" I asked

"I've always been more of a call person" he said, "plus I'm driving"

"I see, I see" I nodded, "Where are you off to?"

"A party" he sighed

"You don't sound too happy" I laughed

"I'm not, I'm practically being blackmailed to go by my mate" he said

"Just dip" I chuckled

"I can't!" He exclaimed, "This secret must be protected at all costs"

"Then don't complain pretty boy" I laughed

"You think I'm pretty?" he asked

I could tell he was smirking

"Oh come on don't act like you've never been told that before" I muttered

"You think I'm pretty" he said again

This time it wasn't a question

"You're aesthetically pleasing to look at" I huffed, "Don't make me hang up on you"

"Okay okay I'll stop" he laughed, "on one condition"

"What is it" I sighed

"meet up with me tomorrow" he said

"That's it?" I asked

"Yup" he answered

"Okay, I'll send you an address of a park I go to" I said, "meet me there at 2"

"What are you going to be doing all morning?" He asked

"Sleeping" I said in a duh tone, "what the fuck else"

"I can't even argue with that" he laughed, "See you tomorrow Isla"

"Bye bye pretty boy" I smiled, "have fun at the party"

"I won't" he muttered before hanging up

I chuckled and unpaused my episode of pretty little liars. It was going to be a long night.
