Chapter 21

*****Sofia's PoV*****

"Sofia! Hey, wait!" I turn in the rain to hear wet slaps hitting against the pavement as Daryl runs after me.

Why do we keep meeting like this?

"Hey! You good?" I question, clutching at the sides of my hood and allowing for the sweet smell of his aftershave to float into my nostrils.

"It's wet, can I buy you a quick coffee in here? I mean I would usually offer to walk you home... but your brother might hate that." Daryl gestures to the small little store beside us named 'Hugs and Mugs' and asks.

I gulp slightly at the mention of my brother, who I had openly lied about - claiming that he lived with me and was overprotective of me and blah blah...

"Sure!" I agree, knowing that I wanted to get to the bottom of what had gotten into him today after his strange mood in English class this morning.

Daryl opens the door, allowing for me to step inside first, before an older lady motions for us to sit in the free booth by the window.

"What will it be kids?" She questions, as I shrug off my wet jacket and inhale a breath.

"Just an americano for me please and a..." Daryl trails off, looking to me for my order as I clear my throat a little feeling put on the spot.

"Uh, can I try the iced hazelnut latte please?" I ask for the first thing which had caught my eye on the menu as she nods and scribbles down the order. "Any extras? Cakes or a sandwich?" The lady continues, as I shake my head a little and look to Daryl.

"Yeah two slices of the red velvet!" He grins, offering me a wink as I giggle at his eagerness.

He clearly likes this place...
