-7-
Uggg.....I missed two updates. Sorry, last Wednesday my grandparents got a new dog and then my dad and I drove 2 hours to get a puppy and it took about 4 hours to get home along with waiting to get the pup. And on Friday the update just slipped my mind and I was in town all day with my grandparents. Again, sorry for missing the update.
----------
Five in the morning I got a call from Aaron saying that Levin was feeling much better and he didn't have a fever anymore and that he'd take the kids to school but...why did he have to inform me so early in the morning?
-----
I stood in front of the station as I waited for Aaron. We decided to meet up at the station which was only a few minutes walk from his apartment. I was dressed in a light rose pink sun dress and a white sweater with light pink low heels. It was somewhat a mistake to wear something so cold made for summer. It was quite chilly, but it would at least warm up somewhat closer in the afternoon.
I waited and waited until I finally saw Aaron in my vision. I smiled and called out, "Aaron! Over here!"
Aaron turned his attention to me and smiled, walking up to me. "Hey, sorry if I'm late."
"No, it's fine! I just got here myself." I lied slightly. Actually I was too excited so I showed up an hour early.
"Liar. Your nose and cheeks are bright red." Aaron said as he grabbed my hands, "And you're freezing cold!"
Badump, badump, badump
My heart raced faster and my face got redder. Ugg! What is with me today? I feel so weird and my heart won't stop pounding when I see Aaron.
"Let's go somewhere we can warm up. Would a coffee shop be okay?" Aaron asked.
"Of course! Anywhere would be fine." I said with an excited tone.
Aaron let go of my hands and we walked side by side down the sidewalk.
"Look at that guy, do you think he has a girlfriend??"
I could hear the whispers of girls as they eyed Aaron. My heart throbbed and I gripped the skirt of my dress. My footsteps slowed and I fell behind Aaron and walked slowly behind him. For some reason it hurt to have other girls look at Aaron like that....
Suddenly my hand was grabbed and I was pulled up to Aaron, closely. "Why are you falling back so far? Are you not feeling good?" Aaron asked concerned.
I forced a smile, "Sorry, I'm okay. I just got lost in my thoughts."
Aaron frowned slightly and gripped my hand tighter, "You're freezing. Let's hurry."
I blushed slightly as Aaron pulled me along. His hand was so warm as it gripped mine tightly. My heart thumped harder and I was hoping Aaron wouldn't hear. Not much time had passed and we reached the coffee shop. We entered inside the door and took a seat at a booth. I sat across from Aaron and we both picked up our menus. My eyes scanned over the items on the menu and every once in a while I would feel like I was being stared at but when I looked up towards Aaron he his eyes darted to his menu.
I felt a little embarrassed and soon the waitress came up to our table, to take our order.
"What can I get you two?" She asked kindly,
"I'll get a coffee with a BLT." Aaron ordered.
"Okay, for the coffee, sweet or unsweetened?" The waitress asked.
"Unsweetened." Aaron answered.
So he doesn't take his coffee with sweetener? But...whenever I made him coffee I put in some sugar and he never said anything. I feel kind of dumb now for not asking if he preferred unsweetened to sweet...
"Okay, and for you?" The waitress turned to me.
I jumped out of my thoughts, "Oh um...I'd like the same but my coffee sweet."
The waitress finished writing my order and gave a curt nod. She left our table after taking our menus and I let out a small sigh. "So....unsweetened coffee huh?"
Aaron's cheeks turned pink and he coughed slightly, "Sorry.....but whenever you make coffee I do like it a little sweeter."
A smile formed on my lips at Aaron's answer. "Heh, but I make coffee just like everyone else."
A little time had passed and the waitress came back with our drinks and food. She set them in front of us and I grabbed my coffee taking a drink. My mouth was filled with the bitter taste of unsweetened coffee and it took my by surprise.
I set down the cup and took a big drink of water. "How can you stand dark coffee? It's so bitter....and I think I got yours."
Aaron chuckled at my reaction and took the coffee cup from my side of the table, then placed my coffee cup down for me. I took my coffee and took a sip, nice and sweet. After, we ate and finished our coffee. I decided to pay for my own meal and refused to let Aaron pay for me. He's already done so much for me that I shouldn't rely on him too much more than I already am.
After we got our check, we paid and left the small coffee shop. "I had a lot of fun Aaron." I said with a smile.
Aaron walked beside me and had a handsome smile on his face. "I had fun too. It's been a while since I could just go out and relax with someone."
We walked down the sidewalk in a comfortable silence until Aaron's phone rang. He excused himself for a minute as he answered his phone. I walked a few feet away as to not eavesdrop and after a while the call ended. Aaron's face was filled with disappointment as he approached me.
He let out a long sigh before speaking, "I guess I have to get back to work. I had no idea it had gotten this late." Aaron chuckled slightly.
I looked down and frowned slightly, "Oh..well, I don't want to hold you back. Go on to work, it's fine."
Aaron frowned slightly before patting the top of my head, "Sorry. I really wish we could have hung out longer. I'll make it up to you another time. I guess I'll see you later tonight."
And with that Aaron and I parted ways. I went to Aaron's apartment to clean while he left for work. I have to admit...today was great. And I look forward to next time.
