Felicia was never a morning person. Whenever her alarm went off from her cell phone she would always put it on snooze so she could wake up five minutes later. There was only one thing that could wake her up fully; a coffee. Not just the kind that would would make a home but the kind that you would go to a cafe for. Felicia crawled out of her bed and walked over to her closet to get some clothes to put on. After that she went into her bathroom to take a long hot shower. That was one of the pluses for living alone in an apartment, taking all of the hot water without anyone complaining to you. Not to mention that she could listen to whatever kind of music she wanted to.

Then again it always got lonely when she was by herself. That was one of the reasons why she was rarely inside her apartment. There was nothing to do and she had to do something to keep her busy. That was why she was a make-up artist. Getting dressed she walked out of the bathroom with a long-sleeved dark brown shirt, some skinny jeans and a scarf wrapped around her neck. She tugged on her ankle high boots and gloves with a sigh. She didn't want to get up at all today, but she had to since she had somewhere to go that evening.

She grabbed her things and left the apartment locking the door and headed over to the mall. There was no way that it would be crowded at this time so it would give her some time to relax. She had brought a a few Vogue magazines with her for some inspiration. The way they did their make-up always made her try different things. Lucky for her it worked all the time and her clients loved it. When she was bored enough she would even give herself a makeover.

Reaching the cafe she took in the sent of freshly crunched coffee beans. It would be enough to wake her up if she stayed for a while, she ordered her vanilla bean cappuccino and found a place near the window to sit. She placed her bag next to her seat and pulled out a magazine flipping through the pages. Felicia pulled off her gloves and scarf feeling a little hot. Her mind began to wonder off thinking. Have you ever felt that you were going to meet someone you knew whenever you walked into a place? That's how she felt at this point. This made her bite the inside of her cheek sort of hoping that it wouldn't happen. But we all know that luck doesn't work like that!

BUT HOPE IS JUST A STRANGER
WONDERING HOW IT GOT SO BAD

His tired eyes blinked open for a moment before closing once again. The poor guy couldn’t get to sleep at all even after laying around and being up all night due to work. Morning was always a hard when it came to being a nighttime weatherman. Groaning, he turned to one side before rolling back to the other. His hand moved over to plop down on the clock before tugging it up a bit so he could see what time it was. It was a little after nine and he’d gotten home two hours ago. Groaning again, he pulled himself up. His legs hung over the edge of the bed while he just sat up and stared at the red lighted clock. A hand moved up as he ruffled his red hair as a yawn escaped his lips. He stretched his stiff shoulders for a moment before standing up. Blake slowly wobbled over towards his closet and opened the door only to close it back once he grabbed a pair of boxers. Hell, he really didn’t even pay attention to ‘em.

His wary feet lead him to the bathroom just to have him turn on the shower. A nice hot shower would always wake him up after awhile… plus some coffee wouldn’t hurt. He shifted his weight around as he hopped out of the shower after taking his time. Grabbing a fresh white towel, he quickly dried his hair before slipping out with the said towel around his waist to grab some close. He decided on a nice dark red shirt that actually had a collar and sleek black dress pants. Blake certainly needed to look nice where ever he went, yes? Leaving the top buttons undone, he hung the towel back up before brushing his teeth and walking back into his room. Turning towards the white nightstand, he grabbed his gold ring… slipping it onto his finger before gently holding up his grandmother’s silver ring. He gave it the ring a kiss before putting the chain though. Blake let a gentle smile take to his lips as he pulled the chain around his neck and locked the necklace. All set! Pausing, he glanced around the room… seriously wondering why he got all dressed up for no real reason. Shrugging, he pulled on some black socks… grabbed his nice, thick black jacket and headed for the door. Making sure it was nice and locked; he stood there for a moment to play around with his hair before heading out.

The walk to the café wasn’t long at all as he gave a smile to the counter lady as he opened the door into the place. Taking in a deep breath, his shoulders relaxed as he smelt the fresh coffee being brewed and small baked snacks being cooked. This place was always one of his favorites to go in the morning… or really, go at night before work. He quickly ordered his white chocolate mocha and found himself glancing around as if he was really searching for something. His eyes widened as he took sight of no other than his ever ex-girlfriend. He bit back bitter memories of a break up he wasn’t expecting and held his breath for a moment. Exhaling, he pulled on a smile and slowly walked over towards Felicia’s table. “UMM… WOULD IT BE OKAY FOR ME TO SIT WITH YOU?” Really, he wanted to say something else… but, of course, just held it all in. The last thing Blake wanted was for the one he loved to hate his guts.

Flipping through the pages she folded the corner of a few to make sure to look back on them. She took a sip of her coffee making sure that it wouldn't burn her tongue. That's when she herd a voice that she knew too well "Umm...Would it be okay for me to sit with you?" Felicia's heart even skipped a beat hearing the voice that she was secretly in love with. Her ex, the one that she had broken up with a few months back. She was the one that broke up with him actually. There were too many rumors about him that she couldn't handle it. That was the true reason, after that she even felt depressed for a while.

Her gaze slowly met his her heart started to race, it made her wonder if he even herd it. "Yeah, you can sit here." not like she could say no. Just because she broke up with him didn't mean she had to be a bitch to him also. Felicia was never like that, all she wanted was things not to be horribly awkward. She looked him over for a moment, he still dressed nicely. She was curious as to why he would always dress in casual pants but she never did question it. Placing the cup of coffee she crossed her legs looking away for a moment. She was shocked, that he wanted to sit with her. Thinking of what happened Felicia thought that he wouldn't even try talking to her again.

Her eyes locked with his for a moment as she frowned slightly, "You look tired. How long did you sleep?" she asked returning to look at the magazine. When they were seeing each other it was a pain at how long he had to work, not only that just the look of how tired he was made her want to kiss him on the forehead and tell him to get rest. This made her close her eyes to forget about that thought. "How have things been?" she wouldn't dare make things silent between them, she would keep the conversation going as long as possible until she had to leave.

A thought bugged her in the back of her mind now that she was with him. She was debating weather she would ask him or not, besides it wouldn't hurt right? Felicia fiddled with the corner of the magazine biting her inside cheek. "Are you dating anyone?" she finally asked looking up at him once again, she was curious. Wanting to know if he was happy with this new person, or if he wasn't seeing anyone at all. She never did go out searching for anyone. She thought that it would have been better to just be single for a while, of course she was wrong. At least that's how it was when she left Blake

BUT HOPE IS JUST A STRANGER
WONDERING HOW IT GOT SO BAD

He gulped… almost waiting to be pushed away instead of accepted. Truly, he wouldn’t blame her at all as she had dumped him and now he was showing his face to her as if nothing happened… as if they were just some friends that got off on the wrong foot for awhile. That wasn’t what really happened at all, but some part of Blake just wanted to go back or even just… go back to the time they were together. He missed her being at his side… he missed her hugs, her kisses, and her attention. Blake wanted to slink away and just tell her to forget he even came up, but perked right up when she answered him. A smile bloomed on his lips as he couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle to himself. Maybe it was just him overreacting again… he seemed to do that a lot.

“THANK YOU…” he cheered slight as he pulled the other seat out. Settling his coffee down on the table first, he sat down and pretty much looked like a puppy wanting attention. Blake really wasn’t much of an attention-seeker; however, if there was someone he wanted it from… he’d do anything he could to get it. It felt like he was taking a fresh breath of air after so long of sitting in a dark spot. Maybe, if he couldn’t be her boyfriend… just maybe he could become her friend again. He relaxed a bit and even his shoulders started to droop a bit. It was easy to tell when he was relaxed and when he wasn’t… but as clueless as he is, he really didn’t pay attention. His muscles just relaxed or tensed up and that’s all he felt. Blake wasn’t one to stare at the mirror just to watch what he looked like.

Taken back a bit as their eyes locked, he just stared with a slight shocked look on his face. He seriously wasn’t sure what in the world was going on. His tail surely stopped wagging. A weak laugh escaped his lips as she asked him a question he really hoped she won’t have. Taking a quick slip out of his coffee before answering, Blake really wondered how he should. “UMM… A BIT? NOT THAT LONG REALLY…” of course, he muffled out a lie. That was pretty stupid on his part since he knew that Felicia could probably tell when he lied and when he didn’t. Relief washed on him as she changed the subject a bit. Though, he didn’t know how to answer this question either. What was he to say? Tell the truth and say that he was lonely? Tell her that he missed having her there? That the only time he really talked was at work? No, he couldn’t say that… he couldn’t make he feel bad. Instead, he put on a smile. “QUIET… BUT OKAY REALLY. THE ROSES ARE STARTING TO DIE OFF FOR THE SEASON, BUT I DID GET A FEW PICTURES OF THEM BLOOMING. I’LL SHOW YOU THEM NEXT TIME A SEE YOU…” he paused… wondering when that ‘next time’ would even be if at all. “YOU?”

Once again, she surprised him once she asked her next question. He bit his lip for a moment and took another slip out of his coffee. Sure, he was single… but why did he want to say he wasn’t? Was it simply just to impress her? He was sure that Felicia would have Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome on her hand by now. Again, what was he going to say? Well, he guessed it would be a lot better to suck it up and tell her the truth. Blake was done with lies and cover ups… the last thing he wanted to do was have it end up like it had before. “EHH… NO. HAHA.” Another weak laugh was added in at the end of the sentence. He looked down at his hands for a moment. He didn’t want it to get quiet and awkward… so he had to say something. Plus, he was curious to see if she was dating anyone just as she had been with him. “W-WHAT ABOUT YOU?” he muffled out and it could easily be missed, but at least he choked it out.

Felicia couldn't help but to smile now noticing how much she missed his personality. Placing an elbow on the table she rested her chin on the palm of her hand now closing the magazine. Felicia didn't want to show that she was trying to ignore him. No, she was far from that she seriously missed going over to his place and spending time with him. Blake's silly personality always made her laugh and put a smile on her face. Felicia shook her head as he thanked her, "You don't have to thank me." She could tell that this wasn't easy for him to suddenly start talking to her. It almost killed her that they were acting like nothing happened.

"Umm... A bit not that long really." this caused Felicia to sigh with disappointment, why was he lying to her? He should know that she could see through that especially with him. "You should really get your hours changed at your job." she replied 'You know how much I hate it when you look so tired.' that's what she wanted to say but bit her tongue so it wouldn't escape her lips. Felicia didn't know how he was able to work with hours like that. She'd be exhausted every single day. All of these memories randomly popping into her head wasn't solving anything, what if she suddenly started crying? How in the world would she explain that? Would he walk out on her and never talk to her again? Why was she thinking of the possibilities, she shouldn't care...Right?

Her smile grew slightly seeing his. It was strange at every time he would grin or smile she couldn't help but to do the same thing. "Quiet...But okay really. the roses are starting to die off for the season but I did get a few pictures of them blooming. I'll show you them next time I see you..." a flash of excitement crossed her eyes. He knew how much she was into photography so she was actually excited to see the pictures. "Really? I'd love to see them, I remember trying to grow them but I failed miserably. I don't know what your secret it Blake." she looked around the cafe after he asked her the same question. What did she feel like? There wasn't anything in her life that was 'amazing'. She didn't look forward to getting off work anymore since each time she did get off she would go and see Blake.

"It's been...Boring, as much as I love my job. It feels like it's missing something." she mused drinking more of her coffee. Felicia didn't know why she had said that but it was the first thing that came from her mouth. Listening to his reply about seeing someone she was honestly glad. But her heart sunk, he still had feelings for her? Maybe he was just saying that to make her feel better? Felicia hadn't been able to see anyone after what happened. She had made a horrible mistake leaving him but she didn't want to tell him that. It would make her sound needy.

Sitting up in her chair she scratched her cheek as a light blush was across her cheeks. "No, I've been single for quite some time." she then looked at him in the eye, "Blake stop acting nervous, I'm not going to bite you are anything." she said in an uncomfortable tone only to laugh a bit. "You're so silly..." her voice trailed off not knowing what to say. Why were conversations so hard between the two now?

BUT HOPE IS JUST A STRANGER
WONDERING HOW IT GOT SO BAD

He relaxed in his sit and even leaned back a bit. His coffee was now resting in his hand as if it was being used as a heater rather than an actual drink. Taking a slip of it, he smiled as she spoke to him. He missed hearing her voice… which actually made him think about how upset he was that they didn’t keep in contact someway. He wanted to reply, but of course, he couldn’t think of much to reply to that. Biting back a yawn, he felt like stretching and crawling into bed. Maybe he just had to see Felicia again to actually rest his mind. After all, he had been thinking about the past which kept him up all night. He missed it all. The times they were together… but it all felt like he made some kind of mistake. As if he did something that made her upset… whatever it was, it ended up with a break up he didn’t want. He played around with the coffee in his cup for a moment before glancing up at her. She put the magazine down and rested her chin on her palm. He had her full attention… and he knew it. At the pure thought of it, he blushed slightly… but couldn’t help but smile. He had her full attention! Some part of him wanted to jump up and cheer… however, that would just cause a scene and might even embarrass Felicia to the point where she’d walk away.

Biting back his excitement, he knew she caught the little lie there. He wanted to apologize for it, but couldn’t. The words just wouldn’t come out… Blake was just a little stuck here. Being a weatherman had always been his dream… however, it always seemed to get in the way of things. Shaking his head faintly, he frowned a bit to himself for accepting the job here. Yet… it was the job that let him meet Felicia. If it wasn’t for moving to Italy to transfer… he wouldn’t have met her at all. “YEAH… MAYBE.” Blake kind of liked the times only because when he was awake he was either at work or eating before falling asleep. Sure it was hard, but it kept him busy enough not to look back on the memories he really didn’t want to remember. Scratching the back of his head, he just sat there kind of dumbfounded and speechless. They use to be able to talk all the time… was it just because of the border between them now that he couldn’t have a normal conversation with her? It really sucked.

He was glad to see that the photographs and roses had caught her attention… he at least said something that kept everything going. Well, he surely knew she loved taking photographs. Smiling, Blake laughed as he listened to her reply. “I’M NOT SURE MYSELF! BUT… MAYBE YOU CAN COME BY AROUND SPRING TO SEE THEM BLOOM AGAIN AND TAKE SOME PICTURES IF YOU WANT. MINE PROBABLY AREN’T THE BEST AT ALL… BUT, I’LL STILL SO YOU.” He couldn’t help but laugh and smile as always. It felt like they were getting a bit back on track with all the help of talking about the roses. Thank you again, Grandmum. His fingers ran around the silver ring that dangled from his neck. He’d always loved his Grandmother… and it was thanks to her that he had gotten such an interest in roses. She had even helped him with buying him books on the weather when he was younger. It kind of… made him sad that she was no longer here. His eyes softened a bit at the thought. Surely, he had to go visit her grave again soon.

He perked back up as she told him about her job… and how it her life became a bit boring. A feel of relief suddenly washed over him… only to make him feel a bit guilty. Blake was actually… happy that she was bored without him? Rubbing the back of his neck once more, he grinned. “HMM… I KIND OF FEEL THE SAME WAY. OTHER THAN WORK, I DON’T REALLY GET OUT MUCH.” He added in a small laugh at the end of the sentence. Though, he really wasn’t sure how Felicia would take it. For him, it sort of felt like he was giving her some kind of hint… but, hey, it probably would work since the clueless one is taking it as a hint anyway. Taking a slip out of his coffee, his eyes drooped a bit. Though, being tired really never crossed his mind. He didn’t want to leave… he wanted to stay and talk to her. Call him selfish or whatever, but he wanted to be by her.

Taking another gulp out of his coffee, he tensed up a bit as it started to feel a bit awkward again. She told him that she was single… which made him feel even more relieved. Maybe she still liked him? But why would she break up with him then? What had happened…? He was all curious to know. “HAHA. SORRY, I…” I just don’t want to make a mistake and have you leave… Of course, Blake didn’t even have the guts to blurt that all out, but maybe it was better if he didn’t. What would she say? He didn’t want to give it a chance…

"I'm not sure myself! But...Maybe you can come by around spring to see them bloom again and take some pictures if you want. Mine probably aren't the best at all...But, I'll still show you." That just made Felicia laugh, he was right. The pictures he took were probably not at the right angle and some could even be blurry. "That sounds like a plan to me. I'll be sure to put that down somewhere or I'll forget." she wouldn't mind at all to go see him, but waiting til spring? No, she wanted to see him more often and sooner then that. But she couldn't let it sound like she was desperate; Felicia didn't want him to walk out on her cause she sounded clingy. She wasn't even his girlfriend anymore. It wasn't as if she did that anyway when they were together.

Finishing her coffee Felicia tugged onto a strand of her hair. Blake was the one that got her in to taking photo's of flowers. There was something about them that just made everything so graceful and made you feel at peace. "Hmm... I kind of feel the same way. Other than work, I don't really get out much." she nodded in agreement with a tiny smile, "Well we're just lame now aren't we? We should do something then just work." she said jokingly surprised at how comfortable she was getting with him. Than again once silence would take over it would just fall back to being awkward. It was a pain to break up with him, Felicia didn't even give him a reason which made things even more worse.

'I don't think we should be seeing each other anymore.' were the words that slipped from her lips. The look on his face still made her stomach churn. She was so heartless having no idea how dull her voice was. She knew it hurt him, if it didn't then he wouldn't have been here, he'd probably be with some other woman. That wasn't the case, he was here, with her and she was really happy. Happy that he came here and they happened to bump into each other. "Haha, sorry, I..." she tilted her head to the side with a concerned look. What was he about to say? What was it?! She really wanted to know. What was he thinking? "Hey..."

She tucked the magazine in her bag. "Since you're tired, lets go to your place." she said putting her gloves on along with her scarf. There was a small feeling in her gut that if she didn't leave he wouldn't either. Then again she didn't want to leave at all, this was a lame excuse to just spend time with him. Maybe even explain what she broke up with him? She stood up putting the bag strap on her shoulder walking up next to him. "Come on, I can't stand to see you look this tired." They could still go over each others places correct? Besides all she was going to do was wait till he fell asleep then leave.

Felecia walked into the home shivering leaning against the wall to take off her shoes. It had be forever since she had been in here. "Looks like nothings changed." she said in a half whisper placing her bag, gloves, and scarf next to her shoes and made her way farther into the house. Could it be that this was a bad idea? Cause everywhere she looked just made her remember about the two, her face began to grow hot as she stood still for a moment covering her face hoping to hide away the embarrassment. "W-why don't you show me those photos you were talking about!" she chimed with a smile and a blush still on her face as she looked over to him.
