I'm not gay!

I finally arrived in the Café with my laptop in one hand, and my notes in the other. It's a good thing to have a backpack, but I have too many things in it. I walked in and was welcomed with conversations fluttering in the room. I walked towards an open seat and got settled by putting my laptop on the tall round table and set my backpack on the floor while sitting on the backless chair. My phone buzzed which startled me and nearly made me fall of my chair. I blushed while reaching to my backpack on the floor and getting my phone out. It was Mom:

"We're having cordon blue chicken tonight!!!"

"Thanks MOMMY!"

"No problem. I'll be home by 5:00. Are you at the Café yet?"

"Yep. I should probably order something so that they won't think I'm stealing their WIFI which I am actually."

"Haha! Okay. Drive safe back. Did you hear from your siblings yet?"

"Nope. I think their phones are off. Or maybe they're showering. The WIFI is kind of bad in the house anyways."

"That's true. We really need to get that fixed. I kept on nagging your father about it, but he always forgets or something. He's an idiot."

"True! I'll see you later mommy. Bye!"

"Bye!"

I just love my Mommy. She's really the best! And her cooking is stupendous! I especially love her cordon blue with dark meat! It was something she used to feed me growing up. Okay! I gotta study now! It's a good thing I'm gonna come home to a special treat from my Mommy. That'll make my evening much better! Ugh! God! I don't know how to do this.

"Hello sir. Wonderful day we're having."

"*screams* Umm... Can I help you?"

"No sir. But I can help you. You see, the human body is an easy subject."

"Umm... Okay stalk people much?"

"No just you. I know a lot about people here. I even know what you're having for dinner."

"Suuure! It's not like you can read my texts from far away. I doubt you'll know-

"You're having cordon blue and your Mom is coming home by 5:00"

"W-WHAT? Okay. What do you want? You want me to order a coffee or something?"

"No. I want to have a conversation with you. But now that I think about it... You're too rude to function. *smirks*"

"I'm sorry... You just-

"Startled you. Yeah. I would be pretty weirded out if someone just sat on the same table as me. I'm Hansen Rue... But people call me Rue."

"I'm Genimo Gogh... But people call me Van because of Van Gogh. *exchanges Hello's"

"So... You seem like you're studying for something. Any exams?"

"Yeah. Not for this subject though. This one is just homework."

"Oh. Well next time if you're gonna steal the Wifi then atleast buy something. *winks*"

"*slightly blushes* Umm... Yeah. Can I have a caramel espresso?"

"Coming right up... Yo Carliyle! Caramel Espresso over here!"

"Umm... I really have nothing to talk about. So can you umm..."

"Look kid... I saw your expressions once you opened your laptop. You looked like you just entered a whole new galaxy. If you need my help then I'll help you."

"Okay... R-Rue. Just... This part is confusing. *shows Rue his laptop*"

"Oh! That's easy! *types in answer* You're almost done too. You just have to fill in 5 blanks. Let me help you *types in all 5 answers* That's it. Any other homework?"

"Look Rue... I don't want you to just fill in the answers. I want to learn about them."

"Okay. Easy. *explains how to get the answers* Just remember a riddle or something."

Then the Brave and the Timid had a few cups of coffee and talked until what seemed like centuries.

"You're interesting Van. Really interesting."

"Thanks Rue. You are too. Can I get another cup of coffee with 4 sugars?"

"Yeah sure. I think Carliyle is on a break so then it's my turn to make it. See ya in a bit. *walks to the kitchen*

"Bye."

That was weird. But the guy isn't that bad. I mean he helped me with my homework. He seems pleasant... Yeah I think that's the word.

"I'm back with your Caramel. *passes to Van* 4 sugars right?"

"Yeah. Why? Did you think I said 8 or something."

"Is that weird? That's how much a few customers want it to be."

"Umm... YES! That's way too much!!! They might die."

"They say they want a lot of sugar because they're depressed or tired. Have you ever had a coffee with so much creamer and sugar that it turned white?"

"No. Why have you?"

"Yeah it's white like my men. *winks*"

"Oh... Ohhh! Okay umm... Awkward."

"Did I say something stupid?"

"Well... It's not... Nevermind! Umm... Thanks. The coffee here is really good."

"Yeah. It's on the house too *winks*"

"But you helped me with my homework! I should pay."

"I insist kid. Thanks for being pleasant. Well I gotta go."

"You wanna meet here at the same time again?"

"I work here kid. Now. Make sure you get home by 5:30 or your Mum will throw a fit. *winks* See ya later Van. *walks away*"

"Bye Rue."

Oh shit! It's 5:15! I gotta go too! I packed up all my stuff frantically and ran out nearly tripping. I stuffed all my stuff in the car and drove home.
