I'm in love with a stripper

Ch.6

The week was flying by and every evening, Madison called me to make sure we were still going out this weekend. It was Thursday and my answer was still no. I didn't want to see Cherry again. I had just got the woman out of my head. Seeing her after masturbating to her all week would be awkward. But at the same time, I wanted to see her. I wanted to be reminded of how pretty her eyes were and a small part of me wanted to see her long caramel legs. I couldn't believe the thoughts running thru my head all over...a stripper.
I glanced at the clock on my Mac Book with a pout. It was only 8:45am and I had a faint migraine. I decided to pack up my briefcase and head to my favorite coffee shop. Maybe if I left the stuffy school building, I would be able to clear my thoughts of Cherry. Normally I did most of my work at my office downtown but twice a week I had to come to Saint Francis High School and check on a few students. As annoying as the 35 minute drive was, I enjoyed seeing most of the students I was assigned to.
45 minutes later, I pulled up to Ma & Pa's Coffee shop. My stomach growled loudly the minute I smelled the fresh croissants and biscuits. They had the best breakfast in my opinion.
I picked the seat furthest away from the entrance so I could concentrate in peace. Barely anybody ever came past the bar so I didn't expect to see a body next to the booth I was about to sit in.
My heart dropped and skipped a beat at the same time. Cherry was sitting with her nose in a thick text book, not paying attention to anything around her. She wore a red tank top and big gold hooped earrings and my God, she looked flawless.
I sat down with my back turned to her. My hands started to shake in her presence, I was so nervous. Why was she here?! I normally never came to Ma and Pa's during the week but today I really needed to clear my head. That was obviously not going to happen.
"Croissant and sweet tea?" Ma herself, dressed in khakis and a pink blouse, looked over her glasses as she spoke. I couldn't think straight so I nodded my head and tapped my fingernails on the table.
"Are you alright honey?" Ma asked just before she left. I smiled faintly and gave her another head nod.
"Yes, I'm fine." But was I? Why was I so nervous because Cherry was sitting behind me? Ma smiled, walked away and left me to deal with the nerves invading my body.
I cleared my throat and pulled out my laptop. With shaky hands and a headache, I put my focus on the task at hand. Finding a seven year old a suitable foster home.
"Would you like more tea?" Ma asked Cherry before she made her way back to my table. I couldn't help myself, I needed to see her so I turned around and got caught red handed. Cherry looked dead at me with a straight face. I couldn't figure out why I was so nervous because honestly it wasn't like me. Lawrence never made me as nervous as I was with her eyes on me. I turned around quickly but I was already embarrassed.
The sound of her giggling covered my arms in goosebumps. As fast as I could, I pulled my phone out and clicked on Madison's text thread.
Me: Maddy!!!!!!
