" Ok, that will be 30 dollars and 36 cents." is what the tall slender brown haired, freecell cashier boy said.
" Hear this should cover it.” Jace says.
" Jace, I can pay for my books and you can pay for yours." I say in an innocent tone while I bat my eyelashes.
"No, I'll pay. Think of it as my treat," he says as he grabs my chin.
"You two make such a cute couple," says the cashier.
"Thanks," I say. He passes the bag filled books over to me and I grab it. I turned around."Jace, I'm going to get some coffee, do you want any?"
" I've never got coffee here so i'll come with". He smiles. We get to the counter and I see a barista.
" Hey uh".
" Miley"
" Hey Miley, could I please get a moka with an extra shot of espresso." I say. “and Jace will get..."
" I'll get the vanilla latte with a small muffin," he says.
" Okay, that will be 8 dollars.” Says Miley. Miley doesn't sound like a normal barista; she sounds like a snotty brat. She sticks her hand out for the money. I fish for the wallet in my back pocket. I pulled out a 10 and gave it to her.
" Hey, do you have any change? '' I ask. She doesn't say anything back. I turn my face into a disgusted look and walk out of the book shop.
" Hey Rylee, you do know I could pay for my latte and muffin," Jace says as I open the door to his car.
" Oh well you bought me my books so I thought I might as well pay you back with some good fresh coffee." I close the door and I can hear Jace’s car door open. He hopes so.
" So where is your house?" he says in a chill voice like he's trying to make a joke.
" Um excuse me are you trying to stock me?" I say. He laughs.
"Nope,just to drop you off."
" Well in that case give me your phone.” He passes over his phone. I grab it and type in the address of my house. Then pass his phone back over to him.
" Hey Jace, you don't mind if I turn the radio on?” He shakes his head and starts the car. I turn it on and switch the channel to the most popular songs of california.
Caffeine, small talk
wait out the plastic weather
Mhmm, uhuh, discussing current events
" Oh my god I love this song." I say in schock.
I'll take my time
I'm not the forward thinker
You read my mind
better to leave it unsaid
you know I leave it unsaid
I started to sing the song.
You know I talk too much
I wanna come put your lips on mine it shut me up
we could blame it all on human nature
stay cool, it's just a kiss
oh, why you gotta be so talkative
I talk to much
we talk to much
I now stop singing to the song because I want to enjoy it. “Well, that was an interesting experience”. Says Jace.
“ Shut up, it's not like you have ever sung to a radio song have you,” I say.
“ Well, I have but not on a date”. He says.
“ Have you ever been on a date”
“ Yes,” he says.
“Oh,” I say. I grab my drink from the cup holder and start drinking it. I can feel him looking at me. I turn my head back up and look. He then turns his head back on the road.
