up and gets her first real look at Sean’s car; it is candy apple red. Last night, she can’t really tell what color it was. All she knew is it was shiny, and it had two doors. This was her favorite color. Ian walks over to the passenger’s side door and opens it for her. She smiles up at him, and he grins at her. When she is in the car, he shuts the door for her, and then he walks around to the driver’s side. When he gets in, he takes her hand into his. She looks over at him, and he is smiling. Maybe she isn’t the only one who wanted alone time. She never thought what it was like for them to share her.
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
After a short drive, Ian and Kallos pull into a parking spot in front of a coffee shop called Java Lava Brava. Ian gets out of the car and runs to her side before she can open the door. He opens it for her and puts out his hand to help her out of the car. She smiles up at him. She has only seen these kinds of manners on movies and read about them in books.
“Do you want to get something to drink first?” Ian asks and looks at Java Lava Brava. Kallos really doesn’t like coffee, but maybe they have something else.
“Sure,” she said with a smile. Ian tightens his hold on her hand, and they walk toward the coffee shop. When they walk in, it smells so wonderful. She loves the smell of fresh coffee, even though she can’t stand the taste. There are about ten people in here, and three people are in line. Ian still has a pretty good grip on her hand, and she doesn’t mind. She looks up at the menu, and they have way more than just coffee. They have shakes, teas, and every kind of coffee.
Since it isn’t the warmest outside and they are going to be walking, she decides that she is going to get a hot tea.
“So, have you decided what you want?” She looks over at Ian, and he is smiling at her.
“Yeah, a black tea.”
“Welcome to Java Lava Brava. What can I get you?” A pretty brunette behind the counter asks. Once she sees Ian her face changes. When they came in, she looked like she hated the world, and now, she's smiling like a fool at Ian. Kallos raises an eyebrow at her; she cannot believe that this girl is checking out her boyfriend right in front of her. Kallos can’t really blame her; he is very attractive. Kallos looks at Ian to see how he is taking this attention; he just smiles at the girl and lets go of Kallos's hand. He puts his arm around her shoulders and pulls her closer to him. Kallos looks down and smiles.
“Can I have a large mocha java, and a large hot black tea?” Kallos looks back up at the girl as she smiles and types in their order. Then she grabs two large cups and writes on them.
“Can I have your name?” She only asks Ian.
“Ian for the mocha and Kallos for the tea.” She finally looks at Kallos and her smile drops. Kallos knows that the brunette saw her before, but now she knows who Kallos is and that she’s with Ian for sure.
“Okay, it will be done in a few minutes. Just listen for you names.” The tone in her voice changed. Kallos could sense this girl doesn’t like her. She turns around and starts making Ian's and Kallos's drinks. Ian leads them to an empty table, and he pulls out a chair for Kallos. He is laying it on pretty thick, and she loves it. She sits down and he pushes the chair in a little. He sits across from her and grabs her hands.
“You don’t want any sugar in your tea?”
“I do, but I like to add my own. They either add too much or not enough.” She glances over to the girl that took their order, and she is whispering in another girl’s ear. They both turn and look at Ian, and then they start to giggle. Kallos just rolls her eyes. If she was out with one of her friends and they noticed a good-looking guy, they wouldn’t make it look so obvious.
“Ian.” The girl that took their order called. He squeezes Kallos’ hands and gets up to get his coffee. The brunette hands
