I was getting frustrated with his spoiled mood. It was like as if he was way more devastated than I was. I know he was really excited for things to work out, but you can't always have what you want. I wished that he would cheer up a bit more.
I gave him a nudge on the shoulder and asked him "Wanna do something"? I smirked.
"Like what"? He asked sullenly.
"Well…" I looked around to see if anything was available. This place was filled with huge buildings and everything. I could not find anything that would be fun. Suddenly I spotted a cafeteria, and recalled how coffee was something I really enjoyed. Why not try that? "… How about a cup of coffee?"
He gave me a derisive look. "Usually people get drunk when they are upset." he muttered
"Well, we are not people." I grabbed his wrist and dragged him along with me, without waiting for any reply. He was not thrilled about it, but at least he did not resist.
" Wait!" He caught my hand to stop me at the door. "How are you going to pay for it?" He asked sincerely.
"I got this." I smirked and winked at it before I went inside.
I looked around for a perfect person to posses. I saw a blonde girl, probably around her late twenties, who was about to pay for her order. I possessed her quickly and added two more orders for parcel. Luckily it did not look so suspicious.
I saw Oliver standing outside with a gloomy expression. I was about to leave the woman's body, but I decided against it and thought of playing a prank on Oliver.
"Hey there" I called out to him in my high pitched voice. If people were not busy with their own lives, they will see this woman and think that she is a Lunatic. Oliver looked at me and froze. After a moment he blinked few times and looked around. When he saw there was no one he looked back at me. "You can see me…?" He asked, but his voice broke even in between those few words. The words were correct, but the reaction, it was a little bit unexpected.
"Yeah, of course." I smiled at him flirtatiously to tease him.
"Oh…um... Long time no see, Lucy" He said and I froze. Damn! I possessed the wrong person!
"This is awkward." I whispered at such a low rate that only he could pick up if he listened carefully. I wished I checked this woman's ID before I came to see Oliver. Now I felt bad for doing this to Oliver, that dude was already upset. He furrowed his eyebrows at me, confused by my reaction.
I cleared my throat and took a deep breath before finally saying. "Hold this." I handed him the cup. "I am... not Lucy" It was plain awkward. His brow deepened further. "It's Chloe" I gave him an awkward smile.
His eyes widened and his jaw dropped. Recalling his comment, I told him. "Your eyes are too wide, you look like a cartoon." I pursed my lips to prevent myself from laughing.
"Damn! Chloe, this is not funny. You gave me a heart attack!" He complained, as he released a relieved sigh.
"You are dead." I told him blatantly.
"I meant…" He put his hand on his forehead. "…I am not ready to face her okay? I don't think I ever will be. This was such a lousy prank, it was totally uncalled for." He accused me.
"Hey! I have never met that woman! This is a coincidence alright. How would I know she is Lucy, or who is whom from your life? I have never met them." I scolded him instead.
"Nevermind, leave her body." He ordered me.
I looked at him suggestively from head to toe. "You sure? Looks like you are visible to humans now. If I leave, you will have to deal with real Lucy". I smirked.
He was taken aback and looked around his surroundings. Indeed few people, who heard his yelling earlier looked at him sceptically.
"Fine! Then go back inside and leave her there."
I did as he asked but as I was about to leave, I realised it was foolish of me to let this wonderful opportunity go. So, I found someone else and approached her.
"Hey, you are Lucy right?" Gosh, I wish I knew her last name, I could have asked properly.
"I'm sorry, do I know you?" She asked me politely.
"Well, no." I shrugged. "But I have heard about you." I smirked.
"Really?" She raised her eyebrows at me. "From who"
"Oliver" I smirked. She gulped and flinched a bit. It was momentary, but still noticeable. I guess she was worried that Oliver is back and now she has to be with him or something. Maybe that's why she was scared? But if I needed answers I needed her to be calm right now.
So I leaned forward and told her an obvious lie. "Don't worry, he is totally over you." I smirked. "What I wanted to ask is why did you leave him?" I raised my eyebrows.
"That's none of your business."She told me sternly. "You are way too sure of someone else's feelings". She said sceptically in a low voice.
"Well, it's because…" I had to give her a plausible excuse for that, I am not giving up soon. "…I am dating him now. He is completely over you!"
She took a few steps back and started breathing fast. She was sweating profusely before she quite literally ran out of the café. Did I just say something that scary?
I came outside and Oliver was looking at me suspiciously. "Why the hell were you chatting with her?" he folded his hands. "And what on earth did you say to her, that she ran out like that?"
"I just told her we are dating. I have never heard this sentence being that scary." I pouted. " If I told her I was a ghost that would have been worse" I justified myself.
"Oh my god, are you crazy?" He almost shouted again, while I simply glared at him. "Did you forget where I am supposed to be?" I tilted my head at confusion. "I was undercover, she clearly thinks you are one of them, and you are trying to kill her." He face palmed so hard that it would have left a bruise on a human skin.
I scratched my head awkwardly as I realised that I got to enthusiastic and screwed up really badly today. "Sorry" I muttered.
He looked at me for a second before his widened. "Wait! I just realised something…"
