Chapter 16 ŸØŲ.

Earl

The doctor advised me to rest for two days and I can't wear my hearing aid for the mean time because of what happened yesterday

And for the first time I considered contacting him, the jacket owner I mean

"Let's meet up, I'll return your-"

Delete. Delete. and Delete. I sound like I'm asking to meet up with my friends

"I'll return your jacket, let's meet-"

No. Delete. Delete. I sound very demanding

"I'm so sorry for contacting you this late but, I would like to thank you and return your jacket back. When are you free?"

Reading it over and over again before settling to send it

Heart pounding against my chest, closing my eyes then tapping the send button

I waited for a reply to come and after ten minutes it arrive

"Maybe later?"

Was his only reply well, that's a good sign that he's not angry

Then my phone buzzed

"meet me at the café? 5pm?" he texted again

"I'm fine with that" I replied

"cool, see you"

Going to the cafè immediately with my car

I washed the jacket again yesterday and waited for it to dry then I put it inside a brown paper bag

Reaching the cafè I ordered two espresso and asked to deliver it if the person I'm waiting for arrives

In less then twenty minutes I received a text

"I'm sorry for running late, there's traffic and it's horrible"

He texted me

"It's fine, I understand, take your time"

I replied

"Thanks (:"

After a few minutes passed a hand tapped my shoulder which made me jump on my seat

Looking at the hand then to the owner of it

My heart pounding much more than when I contemplated to send the text

The black haired boy who helped me at school yesterday is standing beside me with a gleaming hazel brown eyes and a grin on his rosy lips
