Lily ●﹏●

Drafting projects finally over, i feel free, all i need to worry now are my final exams. I took a drag of my menthol cigarette because i wouldn't find any other cigarette worth spending my money for than with this. I was alone at this coffee shop i never knew that existed before until now. Oh yeah hey im lily, Lily Perez. 25, and taking up architecture. A week to go for my graduation. 5'5 height. Black hair. 5 piercings on each ear. No tattoos, not yet though.

I didn't know why people ignore this coffee shop. Its really nice here. I dont know what dragged me in here but i was glad i came here. Neck deep filled up my eardrums while i was drinking my coffee. I was looking around and found that i wasnt all alone anymore. I looked at a guy wearing all black from his beanie to his vans. He was wearing a black v-neck and black skinny jeans. He was patting his jean pockets i think he's looking for a lighter. I looked down as i saw him look up.

I was in town and the guys are out. They bought some stuff before we starve at the bus. I got bored so i decided to look around to find a coffee shop. I wasn't in the mood to find starbucks here because i was too lazy. I finally found this coffee shop it was open but it was empty just how i like it. I went outside after ordering my coffee. And found there was a girl she had her back turned so i guess she didnt see me came out. I took out my cigarette pack and patted my pockets but i couldn't find my lighter. Damn it!!!! I looked around and saw she turned around quickly and looked down. I noticed that she was smoking too. So I decided if I could borrow her lighter.

"Uhh..excuse me, can i uhhmm... maybe borrow your uhh... lighter?" I asked but she didn't respond. I looked at her and noticed she has her earphones on. Fuck!! Im so stupid!!! I tapped her shoulder and we both jumped.

She looked at me and handed me her lighter.
"I havent asked yet and you already know what i wanted." I told her and she smiled as i lit up my cigarette. Wow she has a nice smile.

"I just guessed." I told him. He looked really fucking familiar. Thats when it hit me. HE'S RICHARD ALLEN OLSON III!!!!!!!!!! My soul and insides flipped out but i just stared at him while he was lighting his cigarette.

"Uhh.. here you go. Thanks" he said smiling as he handed me back my lighter.

"Your welcome ricky." I smiled and took a drag of my cigarette. He smiled when i called him by his name.

"Is it ok if i sit here?" He asked as he put his coffee down and sat infront of me.

I just nodded.

"So your a fan?" He asked as he sipped from his coffee.

"Yup, you guys are my inspiration." i said as i tried to calm myself while taking a drag of my cigarette.

"So are you coming to our show tonight?" He asked.

I thought of going, but my boyfriend is shitty as fuck. "I dont know i have stuff to do" i said as i scratched my nose. i lied, but he wont know.

"Well if you want, just call me" he said as he handed me a napkin with his number on it. I just nodded and saved his number on my phone. I looked at him and smiled as i handed him the napkin back.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Burning it so that other fans won't get a hold of my number" he said while letting go of the burning napkin.

I felt my phone vibrate. I looked at it and saw a text from my borfriend.

B: where are you?
L: at a coffee shop. Why?
B: go home now
L: be there in few
B: NOW!

I knew he was mad. Im scared.

"You alright? You look worried" ricky said while sipping from his coffee.

"Yeah. I have to go. I uhh... I'll call you later if ever I change my mind" i told him as i stood up abd grabbed my stuff.

"Sure dont hesitate to call though, ok?" He said as he smiled.

Oh my god that smile... i nodded and headed to the door.
