Surprised to see someone else knowing sign language made me happy inside and I couldn't help but smile as she gave me her name: Crystal. I wiped my eyes to clear my tears and signed back to her. "I'm Alex, but you already knew that." I giggled, my eyes staring at those beautiful violet eyes. When she told me that it wasn't Max's fault for what happened last night, I shook my head in protest. "You're wrong! It is my fault; See, last night I was supposed to go with Max to head home but Carlos, the new guy who works here, asked me to take me home." I explained to her as I cross my legs across, my back still against the wall.
"I mean, it always has been him and I to travel together because of my hearing loss," I signed to her. "And when I saw his face, I just knew it was those men I saw last night and regretted going with Carlos, who is pretty cute, but that's not the point!" I ranted then sighed to calm myself down. "I just... I don't think Max even cares about my feelings back there and I feel hurt because of it."
I looked to her and without any warning, I gave an hug to her when she said she wasn't sure if she was helping or not. After I let go of her, I signed back to her. "You did help by just being there and listening to my rants," I laughed a bit, not in nervous, but rather in happiness as I continued on. "Oh, one thing.. Remember when I said Carlos is cute, right? He is, but I don't exactly swing that way. I, um, am more interested in the same gender."
I didn't know if she cared or not, but I thought it would be better to tell her before she got any crazy ideas going on her brain. As that sort of news hit Crystal, my thoughts switched gears to Max and I realized I wouldn't be fit for work if I'm feeling like this. In fact, I don't think I couldn't handle being around Max for a full day and decided to take the day off.
Slowly, I got up on my feet and helped Crystal up as well, looking at her then decided to let her know of my plans. "Hey, would you mind telling Max that I'm taking the day off and that Carlos will have to take my place as cook?" I pleaded to her. "And if he is really feeling sorry for himself to hurt my feelings, he can find me at the usual spot at the park close to the fountain. Oh, before I forget.." I grabbed my phone from my back pocket and gave her my number, so we can stay in contact.
Once done, I once again gave her another hug and quickly pecked her on the cheek then left the restroom, my cheeks turning pink because of what just happened as I waved Carlos and Renn good-bye and left the cafe, turning left down the street that would eventually led me into the park.
As I walked on, my mind was on the subject of Max. I knew Max meant well to me because he was there for me as I tried to make the best of my life after I graduated High School and the death of my brother, which I haven't told him for personal reasons. Not only that, I could see some strange similarities between him and Musashi from S.A.O. I made a sound and reminded myself that it wasn't possible but then stranger things has happened before.
I finally arrived at the park and decided to sit on the bench by the water fountain and just simply disappeared into my own world as I closed my eyes, my mind full on S.A.O. making plans of how to defeat the Floor 30th boss tonight then gave out a sigh, the sun shining onto me.
