She breathed a bit heavily now as she lowered her head, staring down at the floor and her thoughts all over the place now. 'Should I go back and apologize again? Make a run for it? What should I do?' Many questions fluttered themselves throughout her mind as she looked over and there he was standing and seeing her having a mental breakdown all about hitting his cart with hers. "Yeah, I know. Good thing it isn't a car, right?" She let out a nervous chuckle then bit her bottom lip while looking at him again.

"But I am sorry again." Sydney said as she started rocking on the balls of her feet and twiddling her thumbs. Her eyes made their way into her cart then back up at him. "Cooking dinner for someone special?" She asked him with a raised brow then shut her eyes, shaking her head. "Sorry, not my business. Uhm..." She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket then excused herself from him with her index finger and opened up the message and read it.

To: Alyssa
From: Sydney
LOL. I gotcha, Hun. ♥

She sent the message then eyed the male before her again then nodded her head. "Well, I'll let you get back to shopping and such. Nice meeting you even if it was in an odd way." Sydney said while walking off from the male, not getting a name or anything. She honestly sucked when it came to flirting and such but she proceeded to get Alyssa's things then made her way over towards the check out line.

Sydney stood in line awaiting her turn as she took out her cell phone again and sent another text towards Alyssa.

To: Alyssa
From: Sydney
So, I met a guy but didn't get a name or number or anything. Was that stupid of me? LOL.

She knew that Alyssa would be very honest with her as she waited her turned and walked up to the cashier, who rang her items up. Sydney paid the cashier and grabbed her bags, walking out towards her vehicle and sitting all of the groceries in the trunk then closing it. She stood against her car for a brief moment to see what Alyssa said she should do or what not.

Isiah eyed the female that he had been staring down earlier as she started answering his question with a shrug. He nodded his head and held his sandwich up at her. "I know. I'm a regular here." He noted while looking at her as she eyed his tea then spoke about their coffee. "You know, I guess you are right." His eyes wandered up towards her then slid his cup of tea towards her. "Can I exchange this then, please?" He asked while leaning up a bit.

A person in passing looked at him then leaned down and muttered. "If you're trying to get her number, it's best if you don't do it with mayonnaise on the corner of your mouth." Isiah's eyes widened as he reached for the nearest napkin then dabbed it on the corner of his mouth and chuckled nervously while standing up. "Uhm, rain check on that coffee?" He asked while darting out towards the door and leaning up against the wall outside. 'Damn it.' He thought to himself.

Isiah reached for his keys then realized that he left them inside on the counter top as he lowered his head with a sigh then turned heel and walked right back inside. "Uhm, it seems that I forgot my keys." He muttered upon his entrance then grabbed his keys off of the counter and eyed the female behind the counter. "I can take that coffee to go. I have a class to get too." Isiah mentioned while waiting for his cup of coffee to go and for her to make a comment, or something.
