She gets out her purse to pay for the coffees. "Let me" I say, giving the batista some money. "You don't have to do that" she looks at me. I smile.
We take the coffees and sit at a table. She crosses one leg over the other, accidentally kicking me as she does so. I look at her. She looks at me.
"Are you not going to apologise?" I ask. "Your leg shouldn't have been in the way" she says. I chuckle in disbelief. I smile, looking at her as she plays with the foam on the top of her coffee with the handle end of a spoon.
She puts the spoon down. I turn her coffee around to see it. The foam looks like a flower ontop. I chuckle. "What?" She smiles, taking it back. "Nothing" I say. She giggles, taking a sip of the coffee.
"Tell me something about yourself" I say. "Why should I?" She asks. "You're so-" I chuckle, tilting my head back in frustration. She giggles. That damn laugh is so infectious. It's adorable.
"Okay, I'm 20, I'm a model, I moved from new york to seattle when I was 10, I have a degree in art, business and photography and my full name is meredith grey.. that's it, that's all you're getting" she says. I smile widely, looking at her. She blushes, looking down at her coffee.
"Tell me about yourself now" she says. "Full name derek Christopher shepherd.. my middle name is the same as my dad's, who's company I now own and run.. I have four sisters as you already know, I have a dog and I live just down the road from here in an apartment" I say.
"You have a dog?" She smiles. "Yes" I say, shocked that's the first question she just asked and not about my money. "Do you have a picture?" She asks. I pull out my phone.
She stands up and walks behind me. I close my eyes for a second, breathing her in as her hair runs over my cheek and she looks over my shoulder. She smells like a flower.
I find a picture of him. "His name is arlo" I say. "Aww! I love dogs so much" she says. "You'll have to meet him sometime" I look back at her. She smiles, going to sit back down infront of me.
"You can't use your dog to get me to like you" she grins. "Can't I?" I sigh. "Nope" she giggles, shaking her head. "I guess I'll have to do it myself then" I say. She smiles.
Her phone buzzes. "Sorry, will you excuse me a second?" She picks it up. I smile small, nodding. She walks away to answer the phone.
I watch her as she talks on the phone. She runs her fingers through her hair, rolling her eyes. She looks at me. She says something else before hanging up. She walks over.
"I have to go, my dad wants me home now" she says, grabbing her purse. "Wow, the coffee date was really that bad?" I ask. "No, It really wasn't.. it was my dad, I swear" she says. I smile, believing her.
"Can I get your number.. just so maybe sometime you can meet arlo?" I ask. She giggles softly. I smile, standing up. I pass her my phone. She types her number into it before giving it back.
"Thankyou for the coffee, derek" she says. "You're welcome" I say. She smiles at me before leaving. I look at my phone. My smile fades as I see what she typed.
Better luck next time sweetheart
I chuckle softly, shaking my head. "Unbelievable" I mutter under my breath. I grab my wallet and leave to go and find my sisters.
"Hey, how's it going?" I smile at them. "Good, thankyou derek" amelia passes me my card back. "You're welcome" I say.
"How did your date go?" Kathleen chuckles softly. "Really well" I say. "She played you, didn't she?" She asks. "Yep" I say. She laughs. "I should've warned you, she's sneaky.. sorry" she says. "I'll get my way with her either way" I say. She chuckles.
"You ready to go?" I ask. "Yes" they all say. I help to grab most of their bags and we go out to my car. I put everything in the car and we all get in. I drive us home, taking amelias friends home first on the way.
I drop my sisters off at home. "Kathleen please" I say. "But she's my friend.. if she didn't want you to have her number then-" she says. "Please" I look into her eyes. She sighs.
"Fine" she writes down her number. I smile brightly. "Thankyou thankyou, you're the best sister ever" I hug her. She chuckles. "Hey!" My other sisters say. I grin.
"You guys need anything else? You got money for food?" I ask. "No" Nancy says. "You want me to stay? I can make you all something" I say.
"Can we just have takeout money please?" Amelia asks. I pass her some cash. "Make sure mom eats something too, okay?" I say. They all nod. "I'll see you later" I say. "Bye" they all say. I leave and go back to my apartment.
