It's wearing me down." Simone wiped down the tables, pushing a strand of hair out of her face.I cleaned off the last of the espresso cups and looked over at Simone. It had been days since I'd seen Ace and my heart ached. I missed him, but yet I couldn't let go of wanting all the things I never had: friends and a chance at popularity."Sorry, just boy troubles."She shook her head and walked up to the counter. "Brody hasn't declared his undying love for you yet?""What?" I stepped back. "I'm talking about Ace, my boyfriend. Brody is just a friend."Simone rolled her eyes and climbed over the counter until she was right in front of me. She always smelled like coffee beans and Christmas trees. I wanted to just bottle her scent and savor it."Yeah, he may be just a friend to you, but the way he is always showing up here like a little lost puppy says differently.""Whatever." I put the espresso cups back in their cupboard and looked over at the closing sheet to see what I had to do next."Oh, come on, like you haven't thought about him taking you in those big farmer tanned arms and tickling your thighs with that soul patch thing of his." She leaned over the sink, putting her face right in front of mine and tickling my chin with her long, nimble fingers.I could feel every bit of blood run through my body and rush to my face.
