17 CHAPTER 16

Before I knew it, we were pulling up in some small coffee shop's parking lot. It had a homey vibe. The tables were Stoney black and were so smooth and shiny. The leather seats at each booth were a deep rich reef velvet, and the walls were antic and dark grey.

The light bulbs were covered in what seemed like coffee beans. It was beautiful and captivating. The outside of the place doesn't give the inside justice. We both went and sat at a booth and went through our menus. The prices were surprisingly fair.

I decided to order toast and black coffee when the waiter came. After what seemed like forever, a young guy approached us. He looked about 19 or 20. He had dark brown hair and the most intense caramel orbs for eyes. His black uniform fit so nicely as it clung to his tanned skin. His clef was just a bonus.

I felt Chase kick me from under the table, and I glared at him planning to exert my revenge. "Hello,I'm Alex, I'll be your server,have you decided what you'd like to order?" he said, smiling and looking between Chase and me. His gaze fell on me and did not waver.

His toothy grin displayed his pearly whites, and the way his smile reached his eyes made him so captivating. Chase squirmed his seat, clearly uncomfortable with Alex, and I's staring contest. I cleared my throat and looked at the menu in my hand. "I'll have an espresso with toast please" I heard him scribble that onto his notebook, and then Chase ordered ice tea.

Typical rich kid orders. The waiter walked away, and I lifted my eyes to stare after him. When he reached the counter, he looked at me and winked. I could hear my heart thumping so loud, and my cheeks turn red. I rode with a smile to look at Chase, who was now wearing a smirk. "Sam,what was that all about?" I just looked at him, trying to find the right words to explain what just happened. I'm not so sure myself.
