Chapter 3 - Quaint Coffee Shoppe

After leaving the crowded club hand in hand with my new compadre we took a stroll through the city streets. We stopped as she finally cleared her throat. I looked up and see a small shoppe realizing she brought me to a local coffee shoppe. The shops was quaint and quiet, well except for the soft music playing in the background.

I took a seat at one of the booths. As Nekasha slid in right beside me. Our hands touched causing me to blush again.

"If I start to giggle its over" I said mentally slapping myself. I looked up and our eyes met. I saw a smile play on her soft lips. Our gaze was broken when someone clears their throat.

"Exuse me Ladies you ready to order?" She asks politely. As she tapped her heel on the floor.

We both looked at each other and nodded. Looking back at her. She ordered a French vanilla coffee with two scoops of ice cream and my lips curled in a smile myself

"mmm that sounds really I'll have the same. Tilting my head looking at the menu can I also get a maple donut make that two? I finished.

Then I looked back at Nekasha as our hands met again. My body shivered and I looked around as the patrons stared at us. I shrugged it off. This was my first night with a girl and I wanted to enjoy it. So that's what I focused on. I was thankful when she started to speak.

"I know this is your first time being with another girl. I hope I hadnt disappointed you or crossed a line. But um this is my first time also. I brought you here to get to know you better."

She spoke softly as her thumb rubbed over the top of my hand. Sending shivers down my spine. I shook my head biting my lip.

"No of course not. Its more of a shock then a disappointment. Your gorgeous I say with a blush. And your brave.."

She turned a bright pink at the comment and I smiled at her. Running my hands through her vibrant blue hair

I blinked as my eyes traveled back at her face landing on her eyes as I got lost in them once again. "So how shall we get to know each other. My dear?"

My eyes broke from hers as she asked. I bite my lip and shook my head. As I hadnt thought about that

"Well I am uh not sure."

I said blinking as the waitress came back with our orders. I took my coffee taking a sip. We spent time talking all night. The conversations kept on coming. After an hour of spending time at the shop. I decided it was getting late. I write my name and number on a napkin.

"Its getting late and we should call it a night. If you wanna do this again....

I said as I stood up handing her the napkin. Feel free to call me. I said and then started to heading to the door. She took my hand as she pocketed the napkin.

"How about I take you home." She said with a smile. I want to spend more time with you before the night comes to an end."

I nodded as I didn't want this night to end either. We walked to my place as it wasnt very far from the shop it seemed. We walked hand in hand. As people continued to sneer and stare. We just shrugged them off. Finally we made it and she walked me to my door. I was about to go in when she pulled me close.

"The date isnt over without a kiss goodnight."

She pressed her lips against mine and the sparks fly again. As our lips touch. I cant shake the feeling though. That maybe I wasn't ready for the stares and criticism as we walk hand in hand down the streets. As I pulled away. Looked down at my feet.

She looked back and tilted her head at me confused.

I finally spoke. "Look I had a great time tonight. I really did, And I'd love to see you again. But maybe just friends?" I looked up at her as she tilted her head biting her lip. I could tell I had hurt her. I felt a peice of my heart as it fell to the floor. I burst through the door. As I looked back. She had just nodded at me.

"Oh sure of course." She replied forcing a smile upon her lips. I nodded back at her and turned back to the house as I fought the tears. I ran up the stairs as I didn't want to be confronted by Jack and issac. When I got to my room I couldn't hold back the tears. I knew nekasha probably felt the same way.
