Chapter four
After that little heartfelt moment between me and Charlotte. We decided to go to the park, seeing as it was nice outside.
We gathered our stuff and headed towards the door. Just as I pushed the door open to the cafe, someone bumped into me, which made me drop my lemonade. I gasped when my drink hit the floor and splattered all over my shoes.
"What the fuck" I shout. I looked up to find the culprit behind this madness. I looked at a man who was looking at me with a sorry look. He was kinda good looking.
"I am so sorry. I didn't see you. Are you okay? Are you hurt or anything" He asks. He comes closer and puts a hand on my shoulder. My god, now that he's closer I can see all of his features. This man is fine as hell. I couldn't help but stare at his beautiful face. I snapped out of it before he could notice I was staring at him.
"No I'm not okay, and yes I'm hurt. You made me spill my damn lemonade and made me waste it all over my shoes." I exclaimed. I could hear Charlotte behind me laughing. I looked over my shoulder and glared at her.
"Look, I'm sorry okay? umm, how about I buy you a new lemonade?" he suggests. I eye him. should I let him buy me another one or not. Fuck it, I'm gonna let him buy me one.
"Sure." I agreed. I mean, it's a free lemonade so why not. I looked back at Charlotte and saw her smiling. "I'll just go." She said smirking "I'll come over later" she turned and got into her car. I watched until she drove away. Once she was out of site I turned towards Mr. Make people spill their lemonade.
He was waiting for me to go back into the cafe. I smiled and went inside with him behind me. He went up to the cashier and asked for my lemonade and him a bagel. "your total is $4.42." said the cashier.
Once he paid for the food and drinks and got it, he turned towards me, "do you maybe want to sit down?" he asked.
"Sure," I said. I walked towards a table for 2 people and sat down. He gave me my drink "thank you" I muttered.
"You're welcome" he replied. He rubbed his fingers through his hair "look, I'm really sorry about your lemonade and your shoes. I really didn't mean to do it." he said softly.
I smiled at him "Its fine I guess. I mean, I got me another one." I said holding up my cup. He chuckled.
"My name is Hunter Coleman by the way." He held out his hand for me to shake. I shook his hand. It was really big against my small ass hand. "My name is Raine, Raine Montgomery." I smiled at him.
He smiled back at me "That's a beautiful name." he says
I smile down at the table "thanks." There was a pause, neither of us saying anything. Just looking around the cafe. It was kind of awkward. I looked at him "Sssooo, this is kind of awkward." I laugh. He started laughing. " okay um, how about we get to know each other? That's the only plausible thing to do right now." I suggested
He laughed at me "sure, how about you go first?" he said
"I think its only fair that you go first, you know since you bumped into me and made me spill my drink," I said sarcastically.
He put his hands up in surrender. "alright fine. My name is Hunter Coleman, but you knew that already. I'm 27 years old. I work at Saint Harrisburg pediatrics Hospital. I'm a pediatrician. " he finishes.
I just stare at him. Since he's a pediatrician he must like kids. "pediatrician? do you like kids?" I asked taking a sip from my lemonade.
"I love them. They're just so cute." he smiles. "it's your turn now." he told me.
I rolled my eyes, "Welp, you already know my name. I am 24 years of age. I'm actually a nurse. I work at Charleston hospital, right down the street from Saint Harrisburg." I said
He raises both eyebrows. "really?" he asked surprised
"Yeah" I chuckled. I heard jp cooper birthday playing in the background. "oh, I love this song" I muttered. I started singing "they've got nothing on you if it was my birthday, id be opening presents and hoping to heaven for you if it was my birthday."
"You have a beautiful voice," he states.
I blushed and looked down at my hands. "hey um, there's this bar on Keith street, they have this special on Saturdays. I was wondering if you wanted to go?" I asked hesitantly. I don't know where in the hell I got this sudden burst of confidence from but I'm kind of liking it. I just hope he doesn't say no.
He looked at me like I just asked him the most dumbest question. I instantly felt embarrassed. I don't know why the hell I said that anyway. I looked away from him and my leg started shaking. "i-i mean you don't have to come. you know I just thought that maybe - actually I don't know what I was thinking. Yo-"
I was cut off by him laughing at me. I gave him a blank look "what are you laughing at." I questioned him ¨Im laughing at you.¨ he said, still laughing.
"Why?" I asked
"Because you're kinda cute when you ramble. Anyway, I would love to go to the bar with you." he smiled at me.
I let out a sigh of relief. "okay" I nodded "umm, so I'm gonna need your number so I can you know, text you the address of the bar and what time you should be there." I told him.
He nodded his head and pulled out his phone unlocked it and gave it to me. I grabbed his phone and put my number in it and gave it back to him. "there you go." I said I got my phone from my purse and gave it to him. He put his number in and gave it back to me.
I looked at his contact number and smiled. "alright, ill text you the time and place when I get home." I said to him as I got up. I put my phone back in my purse and grabbed my keys.
He got up and we both walked outside. Once we were outside I turned towards him. "I guess I'll see you later on?" I asked stuffing my hands in my sweater pocket.
He looked me in the eyes "yeah, you will." he smiled at me. I smiled back him.
"Alright," I said. I turned and walked towards my car, smiling on the way there. I got into my car and looked out the window and saw he was still standing in the same spot, looking at me. It was kinda creepy but I just smiled and drove home. For the first time in a long time, I wasn't thinking about Kennedy.
