Coffee With My... Mia (Charlie & Mia.)

[Cameron Osiris]

Hey, it didn't have to be just coffee! It could be more, but Mia had made herself clear. She wanted Cam only as a friend and Cam was trying really hard to play by the rules laid out. "How do you know it's not fun? You could just go along with everything I say," he shrugged, "you can't rule it out until you've tried it." Come on, give him a shot! He watched her with amusement. "Uh-huh, right." He said. She was blushing too. "Working together would be awesome!" He agreed. "Maybe some of my awesomeness will rub off on you."

"Thanks," he said, closing his hand around the light as it faded away. "I wouldn't trade it for anything else," he said. "But anyways, that's why you have me for a friend. I can brighten anyone's day." Yes, he was quite confident in himself.

"I think you need to stop worrying about that, and have some fun with me." He offered her his most enticing smile and prayed it would do the trick.

Cameron was watching Spike with awe. "Get used? I doubt I'd get used to how cool he is," he smirked at her, "and so well behaved. I would've named him Mr. Corn though." Spike crawled his way back to Mia, Cameron enjoying how close he got to be to the girl. "So you're telling me you could've been sneaking around with Spike this whole time? How sneaky," he said, commending her. Cameron would have to keep a closer eyes on her hands.

"Come on, I wasn't gonna say anything about Dunkin's! You've heard of them but not McDonald's?" He asked, shaking his head. "What a backwards world you've lived in." He laughed a bit. "I'll be sweeter once we get those doughnuts. My treat, seriously, don't worry about it." He'd get a job soon enough. Then they could go out all the time!

"You like me," he said with a triumphant smile. Good, he wanted to be liked. Thankfully, the mall wasn't too far from the school, and he was happy to note that he had plenty of change. Enough even to tip their server.

Sauntering through the doorway of the shop, Cam waited for Mia, latching an arm through hers. "Anything you want is yours," he said, his eyes on the menu hanging behind the bar. His eyes landed on the shop keep, sending her a wink. Today was going to be great. He'd already decided.

[Mia Bell]

Yes, yes she knew she made herself clear about wanting to be just friends, she soon found that coming back to bite her in the ass. Because now she was finding so hard to want to stay just friends with him; she didn’t even know why. She didn’t think she would ever have feelings for him either. Mia raised an eyebrow at him “That actually sounds really boring… But I will try do not argue with you as much.” That was a plus right? “Well you have a point. It’s like that saying right? ‘You should always try something at least once’ Or something like that.” She moved to push him slightly “Hey! I’m already as awesome as they come.”

“So you wouldn’t want to trade with me than?” She figured handling light would be much easier and better than handling the weather. She sighed “Pun intended?” She smiled, his enticing smile did do the trick but for her it seemed all of his smiles were enticing. “Alright! Alright.”

Mia grinned "I’m glad you think he’s cool.” She shook her head “Most snakes are well behaved and remind me never to go to you for name advice.” Mr. Corn was lamer then Spike. “Maybe, maybe not. I don’t do it all the time. Just when I want to bring him outside but when I also want to go into town to like the mall or something.” She shrugged, it wasn’t harmful to anyone, it was a baby snake.

Mia laughed “Well we went to Dunkin doughnuts once or twice, when the we went on Vacation.” She shrugged, it wasn’t like she cared all that much about fast food. Doughnuts on the other hand, she loved. So it was obvious she would know about Dunkin doughnuts. She gave him a sheepish smile “Well alright.”

She blushed again “why wouldn’t I like you?” She was guessing he just meant as a person. She walked besides Cameron as they headed for the mall. Glad he had enough money.

Mia followed him into the ‘holey place’ doughnut place. She looked at his arm ‘I want you’ was the first thing that came to mind and she tried not to blush at the thought. “Uh okay.” Mia noticed the wink, this was going to get awkward fast. She looked at the menu, trying to figure out what she wanted, she had never gotten coffee from here before.

[Charlie Saynsberry]

Another typical day at The Holey Place. Charlie had no complaints, but it had been a bit slow and she was a little bored, so she had found herself flipping through job interview notes. Other than Callie, none of the people she had interviewed quite fit what she was looking for, so she was at a bit of a loss at what to do. Tapping her chin, she grabbed a piece of paper and wrote on it in her neatest handwriting - JOB OPENINGS AVAILABLE.

She probably should have done this before now.

Hearing the chime that went off signaling customers, she grabbed the paper and some tape and strode up to the front counter. "G'day!" she chirped, seeing the two young people standing before her. Her eyes instantly went to the girl's hair. "Ohhh. That color looks brilliant on you. Good choice." She reached over the counter and taped the sign against the side, humming briefly before glancing back up and catching the boy's eye, and his wink. A smirk touched her mouth. "And what can I do for you lovebirds today?" she asked, giving the guy a quick up-and-down, as she usually did. Sure their arms were linked, but that didn't mean she wasn't going to play.

[Cameron Osiris]

Cameron smirked, walking a bit ahead of her so he could walk backwards. So he could look at her. “I mean you like me like me, admit it,” he teased, unable to help himself. He didn’t push the matter further though, he didn’t want to embarrass her before they got to the mall. Or you know, make her pissed off.

Ah if only he was a mind reader, but alas, he was not. If it was he she wanted, he wouldn’t be very hard to get. He didn’t cost half as much as anything on this menu. “I don’t know what to get,” he said with a soft chuckle, his eyes drifting back to the menu. Why? Why did every coffee place have to be this complicated? Oh right, because coffee addicts had to have fun with their addiction. There could never be just one way of getting your java.

British accent? Huh, that was pretty cool. “She looks great right?” Cameron acknowledged, smirking at Mia. Pink really did suit her. He laughed again, leaning his head on Mia’s shoulder. “See, people think we’re a couple!” He didn’t really say they were or weren’t, he just didn’t really mind the attention. But the woman checked him out, and he raised an eyebrow, still smirking as he glanced up at Mia. Again, this was going to be a good day.

“I want one of those strawberry frackucino, or whatever it’s called. Biggest one you got.” He said, his eyebrows knitting as he glanced at all the doughnuts. “What’s that one over there? The one that looks green and moldy,” he asked. Because that was obviously the most appetizing thing, and he wanted it.

[Mia Bell]

Mia blushed, she was never the kind to blush often and doing it so often today was starting to make her feel vulnerable. He was only teasing her right? Or was it that she was being that obvious about it? She rolled her eyes and smiled “You are so full of yourself.” She tried to act cool, like the question didn’t faze her at all in anyway.

If he was a mind reader it would make both their lives so much easier. Might piss Mia off to no end but it would be easier. Mia thought Cameron was the most expensive thing on any menu. She stood on her tippy toes “So get something you usually have.” There were so many choices to choice from, but she usually just went with the things she usually gets, the same thing every time, it made life easier.

Mia blushed at the compliment the woman gave her and scratched the back of her head as Cam chimed in. She was really starting to dislike blushing. “Oh thank you. Hair dye is really expensive though. I like your hair too. Do you dye your roots or your hair?” It was a valid question, depending on the answer she was either a blonde or a brunette. Her blush depended as the woman called them love birds, did they really seem like a couple? She rolled her eyes at Cameron “We aren’t even arguing.. So your point before isn’t valid.” She bit her lip, she wouldn’t admit it but she liked the boy leaning on her shoulder. She saw the sign and moved to pinch Cameron in the side and then pointed at the sign. Wanting to move pass the whole couple thing, though she did pick up that he hadn’t denied that they were a couple; she tried not to think about it. “Are you really hiring?” Stupid question right? Yeah but it would start the conversation to them needing a job.

“I’ll get a Carmel Frappuccino please.” She shook her head at the boy. She gave a sheepish smile to the woman. She moved to look at the doughnuts. “You really want to get the one that looks moldy?” She looked at the raspberry Romeo one, she liked dunkin doughnut’s jelly filled “How good is the raspberry Romeo doughnut?” She usually sticked with the original kinds, like the chocolate glaze but she felt she should start trying to get out of her comfort zone.

[Charlie Saynsberry]

Charlie's eyes darted between the two of them. They were newbies to the Holey Land, obviously. And apparently in the middle of a complicated relationship. She could see it from a mile away. "Oh yes, it looks fantastic," she agreed with a grin, propping her arms on the counter. "I know I couldn't pull off that color. I dye my hair - brown doesn't exactly suit me either. I like to look at least a little flashy." She laughed. Oh, how much fun she could have with them. It wasn't any of her business to mess with other people's relationships, but.... She just couldn't help herself sometimes. It didn't help that they were both really cute. Which was why she made a point to check both of them out.

"Oh, yes!" she looked down at the sign she had just taped up. "We are hiring. I already have a couple positions filled, but I'm still looking for two or three more employees. Are you guys looking for a job?" Even better! If she actually ended up hiring them, she could play with their relationship even more.

She was a terrible person.

"Strawberry Frack-a-whatsit in Grande, coming right up. And a Caramel Frap as well!" As she got to work on the drinks, she snorted. "You have great taste, hun," she told Cameron sarcastically, but with a flirty grin. "That's a green tea donut. Not my favorite, but a lot of people like it for some reason. And the Raspberry Romeo's are my favorite," she told Mia. "Seriously, they're wonderful. I definitely recommend it." After a few minutes, the drinks were ready, and she popped on the lids and slid them over the counter. "Have you decided what you'd like?" She paused. "Perhaps a job interview as well?" Why not? She had interviewed Dani on the spot, so this wouldn't be anything new. "As I told someone I hired, I'm not one for.... Traditional methods." She said this with a wink.

[Cameron Osiris]

The blushing really just blended in with her hair, and honestly, Cam was doing his best to try and not look at her very often. Otherwise, he’d be doing a lot of his own blushing. He could only smile – he was only as full of himself as people allowed him to be. No one was complaining about the confident blonde, other than pointing it out.

Life was meant to be lived, not easy. He laughed again and shook his head. “I don’t usually go out for coffee you know, I don’t have a usual.” Some people had their coffee black, some had decaf macchiato espresso frappucino campino, it was all coffee in the end, with or without milk or sugar of some kind. Tea was also good in his opinion. Oh, this was going to be difficult deciding.

“We have to argue to be a couple?” He asked, his expression amused. “Well we argue all the time, according to you it make things fun.” Oh now Cameron was just milking it. But he would milk it for all it was worth. Mia had set herself up for this one. He glanced at where she gestured. Cam had been a bit preoccupied to notice. “Aw, no way!” His eyes beamed, a little light added to them. “Do you have any applications to fill out?” He was definitely looking. Hey, two birds with one stone! Not bad, they were going to go job hunting together anyways. He winked at Mia before smiling brightly at the clerk. He’d totally work here.

Cam shrugged. “Sure, looks fine to me.” If Mia wanted to get out of her comfort zone she was definitely with the right guy. He’d never tried a green tea donut before, and now he wanted to. “One of those green tea donuts, and Romeo’s for my Mia. As if she doesn’t get enough romance from me.” He caught both of their drinks, and held Mia’s just out of her reach for a couple seconds, smirking at her. He couldn’t do it for long though, and eventually quit teasing her and handed it back to her.

He raised an eyebrow at Charlie. Not one for tradition? Hmm, well this would be interesting. “I don’t see why you’d want to hire me,” he said, taking a sip of his drink and looking at Charlie. “Mmm! Wow, this is delicious! What's it called again?” He paused. “Anyways, I’m so shy, you think I’d fit in here?” He asked, leaning over the counter at her. He sent a sideways glance at Mia and winked at them. Both of them were going to get hired.

[Mia Bell]

Mia was still blushing, she ran a hand through her hair. She really didn’t think it was that big of a deal. She was used to people saying how cool it was but making more of a big deal out of it than that was something she wasn’t used to. She couldn’t complain about it though; who didn’t like compliments? “Oh really? Blonde suits you.” She really couldn’t say she wasn’t into blondes; but the blonde hair suited the women, more so than she thought brown would. So maybe she was flirting with the woman just a bit; It's not like Mia wasn't attracted to woman.

“So why…” She decided it would be best to just leave it. Really if he didn’t go out for coffee often than why did he suggest getting coffee? Had she really made him to go out of his way for her? She felt uncomfortable when she made people go out of their way for her.

“That’s not where I was getting at…” She sighed heavily, really he wasn’t helping the situation when he was mocking her. “Well I guess you should be glad we’re not a couple or we would probably be arguing even more.” She wasn’t really sure of that, but she had to point it out. She smiled at them both “Yeah we actually are.” She was going to ask for applications but Cameron asked, she didn’t think it was a question needed to be asked twice.

Mia looked at Cameron like he was crazy for wanting a green tea doughnut. That was only probably because she just didn’t like green tea. She shrugged, she didn’t care but if he didn’t like it he wasn’t sharing hers. “Oh really?” Well if was the owner’s favorite than why not try it? Before Mia could say she wanted it Cameron had already ordered it. She blushed even more with Cameron’s statement; this was just a blushing day for her. Though it really was something she needed. She looked at Cameron with pouty eyes. “You’re mocking me because I’m short aren’t you?” She realized he was holding the cup out of her reach; she wasn’t going to make a fool out of herself to try and grab it.

Mia grinned as he gave her the drink “thank you.” Mia’s attention went back on the owner when she said she mentioned the job interviews. She smiled and then frowned at Cameron. Was he really trying not to get a job? She took a sip of her own drink as she rolled her eyes at Cameron. Did he really forget what he ordered? She tilted her head confused for a moment then realized what he was doing and yet again rolled her eyes.
