"So you want to get to know me?". He smirked.

"Why not". I shrugged taking a sip of my coffee. It's not as if I was going anywhere.

"Why'd you move to Texas?". Taking off his jacket he sat back in the chair getting comfortable.

"I don't really know. My gran got up one morning and decided to put the house on the market. She didn't give me a reason".

"I didn't".

"You're eighteen, you could have stayed in Florida". What was he getting at?

"Born and breed sweetheart".

"Would you ever leave?". I asked.

"No".

and I'm sure I will. Do you want more coffee?". I asked getting to my feet. This was somewhat nice. He did seem like a nice guy but I wasn't going to overthink the situation. "Already had enough babe. Besides too much caffeine is bad for you". Raising his eyebrow at me I made a face. You could never have to much caffeine. I was a coffee junkie.
