Dazed and confused

Chapter three

We made eye contact and I felt safe again.
"You made it!"
He said getting up and hugging me.

This was strange contact I didn't expect. This is the second time I've seen Him and-
Stop second guessing yourself I hate that all about you!
I quickly hugged back tighter then I anticipated.

Which he returned.
"Sit down!"
He said pulling my chair out.
I nodded taking a seat and admiring him, and how much of a gentleman he is.
"Thanks."
He sat down opposite me smiling and chuckling.
"What's so funny?"
I asked placing my sunglasses on top of my hair.

He was silent for a second looking at my eyes.
"Uh- well I was kind of worried you wouldn't show up that's all."
I playfully shook my head.
"Well I guess I had nothing to do."
He placed his hands on the table and soon enough a lady came up with a note book for our orders.
"I'll have the toasted cheese tomato and ham sandwich please".
He exclaimed sitting back.
She nodded and looked to me.
"I'll just take a flat white on full cream milk and one sugar please."
She nodded again and left.

"So tell me about Australia."
He said

I sighed.
"Well where do I start, born and raised in Sydney. Busy place but beautiful. Nice people red necks and VBS."
"VBS?"
I smiled.

"It's what every bogan Aussie drinks. Not the best but if your Australian you live with it."
He nodded never looking away from me.

"What about you?"
He sat back examining me more.
"Let's see born in Manhattan New York, raised here to. I love it here really. But things can get a bit messy."
He said rather quickly but I took it all in.

Eventually the waitress came with our food and drinks. I did a lot of the talking and timothee listened.

I did try to get him to take over, but whenever I'd ask him questions he'd say a short answer and then tell me to continue.
"Your joking!"
He said laughing.
"No my brother has a mullet what's so crazy about that?"
He laughed even harder.
"Do you mind if I take some photos of you? Not for social media or anything like that I love capturing moments and I feel as though this is one to remember."
"Of course! Only if you show me some of your work."
I nodded and took my camera out.
"Do what you think is natural."
He smiled and I snapped what seemed as though thousands of photos.

This was my favourite one.
"You look so sad."
I said.

He smiled lightly.
"Check!"
We got up.

"I can pay-"
"Nononononono that's ok."
He said smiling.

I laughed.
"Ok I'm taking you somewhere let's go."
He demanded.

I shrugged and walked with him.
"So what's the reason to come here?"
He asked as we walked.
"It's a long pathetic story, but I came here manly for my friend Lola."
He nodded.
"The one that fainted?"
I chuckled awkwardly.
"Yeah that's the one."
He smiled again.

"So why aren't you with some super model in Hawaii?"
I asked half jokingly.
"Well I am with a super model."
I gave out a loud laugh.
"Who? Me?"
He nodded.

"Your beautiful Millie."
I blushed furiously.
"Yeah I'm sure, do you always tell woman that?"
"No only the good ones."
I chuckled tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear.

"Ok here we are."
He smiled proudly.
We were in front of an old record shop.

I loved vinyls I use to have my own record set up until...
"This is so cute!"
I snapped a photo of it smiling.
"Come on!"
He smiled walking in.

The smell of incense and old things blew up my nose.
"Mr chalamet!"
An old man behind the counter greeted us.
"And what a pretty young lady, who might you be?"
I gave him my hand.
"Millie sir."
He shook it.
"Nice name Millie! So what brings you here?"
"Just looking around."
Timothee replied our hands brushed and electrical waves shock right through my body.
"So are you a Harry styles kinda gal?"
He asked sorting through some records.
"I mean I guess, but I'm a John Lennon girl truth be told."
He giggled.
"She's a keeper!"
We heard the man behind the counter yell.
I chuckled.

"Hey Millie, I was wondering if you'd like to work here? I need new assistants to clear shelves and by the looks of your knowledge I'd love to have you work here."
My smile grew bigger.
"I'd love to!!"
Timothee smiled.
"I come here daily so I'll be seeing you."
I nodded.

I couldn't be happier, I've never been this happy in ages.
"Good you'll start tomorrow!"
I nodded, I jumped onto timothee hugging him.

He didn't hug back for a while but did eventually.
"Thank you".
I whispered.
I pulled back, he looked deep into my eyes then to my lips.
Was he going to kiss me?

I looked away to a different shelf of records.
We're just friends... he's just helping me out.
He's just taken me out as friends. Surely he'd never like a girl like me.

Surely...
