“I wouldn’t dream of ditchin’ you…” You would stalk me if I did. Was the rest of that little joke that he kept to himself as he put his cap back on backwards, before going back to the counter. The rest of the shift went on as usual. Sheamus going on as if he hadn’t single-handedly admitted his true existence to a human. Acting as if whatever he was feeling, a pull or perhaps more of a push, made this all seem okay. And it was just odd. How when he’d feel as if this was a bad idea, one vivid thought of her, and his mind was suddenly at ease. Perhaps it was simply her nature showing. She didn’t seem like the type to go bragging about this anyways. His own mother was human and she had kept this secret for years. It was just his father’s paranoia that had made him like this, is all.
When that hour hit, and his shift was over, he took his time in leaving his apron and the like in the back room. Switching from the cafe cap to his very favored newsboy cap, he waved goodbye to his co-worker and decided to wait for her outside of the cafe. It was the safest bet, after all, considering he didn’t have her number or anything like that. Hands were shoved into his jean pocket as he leaned his back on the brick wall of the building.
Summer was rushing back to the cafe now. She felt like she was running late to meet Sheamus. She had received a call from her boss about a meeting she needed to prepare for tomorrow before her classes started, so she’d need to be up extra early. By the time the phone call was finished, she saw it was nearly time for his shift to close and she bolted out of her apartment, nearly forgetting her sweater in the process.
When she finally arrived at the cafe, finding him against the brick wall, Summer was out of breath. “Hey,” she heaved, walking up to him and so happy that she had been wearing flats when she ran out of the apartment. “Sorry if I kept you waiting. When the boss calls, you gotta answer, y’know what I mean?” Despite that and her heavy breathing, she smiled at him, as bright as her name. The excitement she had been feeling earlier when she just found out his secret came back to her tenfold. She was so eager to learn more about him. Learn everything about him. “Did you wanna go for a walk? There’s a nice little park not too far off.” There was still a hitch in her voice from the running, and her body was practically screaming at her to settle down but she could barely pay attention to that. This was the most exciting thing to happen to her in a long time.
