Chapter Twelve

I shield the top of my eyes to reduce the glare from the glass and press my face against the window, lucky I have a small nose or it could be painful. But I still can’t make out whether Ryan is there or not.

I can see the pretty blond girl, that all the guys have a thing for, swinging her hips as she walks to the tables and picks up the dirty mugs. And standing behind the counter serving is a geeky looking boy who I swear is barely twelve years old. Other than that, nada. And not many customers either.

Knowing my luck he isn’t working tonight. Then again, it was a long-shot, especially as he worked yesterday. They probably share out the shifts. Looks like I’ll have to come back tomorrow, though I could go in and ask when he’s next working. If I dare. And if I can be sure none of them will say anything to anyone from school. That’s all I need, for some gossip-tart to tell Lori or whoever that I’ve been asking about Ryan.

I turn around and lean against the window with my arms folded, debating what to do. In my peripheral vision I see someone waving but that’s all I can make out. As they get closer I realize that the wave is, in fact, meant for me. Oh, yay. Now what am I to do? It’s too late to do a runner.

“Suzy, hi.”

I stand away from the window, whilst inwardly debating the probability ratio of Guy turning up and finding me—help I’m a math geek and someone forgot to tell me.

“Guy. What are you doing here?”

Of all the people in all the world I had to bump into him. It’s like he’s electronically tagged me or something. I mean it’s very strange that he turns up at just the right moment. If I didn’t know better I’d say he’s stalking me. Yeah, right. Just like he’s prepared to go on stage to declare his feelings for me. I really need to get a grip. That or stop drinking so much diet cola because something seems to be fuddling my mind.

“I could ask you the same question. You told me you were working on your project tonight.” He doesn’t miss a trick.

“Well I was, then Mom asked me to meet her, but she hasn’t turned up. I bet the car’s broken down again. We’re always having trouble.” I roll my eyes upward in pretend frustration at our car. Which really is in perfect working order, even if it is several years older than the new car Guy’s parents bought for him.

“Shall we go into Starbucks and wait, before this drizzle turns into a shower?”

Drizzle? I didn’t even notice it start raining. It might be nice to go inside now I know Ryan isn’t there, and actually enjoy my drink rather than rush it like last night.

“Sure. I’ll text Mom and tell her not to come. I’ll catch the bus. It’s too late for shopping now anyway.
