Part 3: Coffee

Part 2 Ending:

Her touch set his nerves tingling through his jacket. Just like holding her had done as they walked to his place last night. It was only last night. Oh he was falling for her hard. They paid for their books and smiled sweetly at the rest of the line and left the shop.

Part 3 - Coffee

Nesta

They arrived at the coffee shop, it was humming with people, they filled every corner all sitting around small tables with their friends, Nesta couldn’t see a single one free.

“We should have gone somewhere else, it’s packed here, and I’m still starving..” then she muttered under her breath, “more so after that walk.”

“It’s fine, give me a minute,” he maneuvered through the crowd and went out the back, casually checking in on staff as he went, a big grin on his face. She was sure he told some joke as the girl howled with laughter a few moments later. Leaving her to stand awkwardly in the crown of people awaiting their coffee. After ten minutes he shuffled through people making his way back to her. A huge smile on his face, with menus and two coffees in takeaway cups in his hands. “Come on, follow me.”

Part 2: Black Jeans

Part 1 Ending. She walked past him and up the stairs to his apartment above. Knowing full well that Cassian turned to watch her go, watching her long legs on display, mesmerised by the flowy dresses movements and her stomping her ankle boots up each step… she was almost at the top before Cassian pulled himself out of his trance and rushed up after her.

Part 2 - Black Jeans

Nesta

The apartment was well worn. The smell of coffee, leather and wood filled the space in perfect balance. Oak floors ran out in front of her, and to the left were two huge wooden framed windows dominating the space, their white arches above standing out in stark contrast to the brickwork around them. They were facing the street with the amber lights filtering through the discoloured glass, condensation building in the corners. She continued looking around the room, coffee paraphernalia perfectly placed on reclaimed bookshelves. Framed artifacts. Two old brown leather couches sat low to the floor before her and books were stacked on re-purposed old barrels acting as small coffee tables - most likely from the shop below.

To the left the dining table dominated the space and bookshelves lined the walls at each end, to the right a small kitchen and a hallway moving towards the back of the building. So much space. Nesta looked up towards the rafters, the ceiling stretched high above and she noticed a mezzanine floor above the kitchen. The lamp lights were casting a glow from the level above when the rest of the room was only illuminated by the street. She took in as much as she could, the design features standing out to her - this apartment that seemed like a relic from the past, a rare gem she might not ever see the likes of again. It just didn’t quite match the image she had for Cassian in her mind. Maybe it wasn’t his, maybe he had fed her a story, it wouldn’t be the first time she believed some boy.

“So, this is your place?” the awe in her voice hard to mask.

Cassian sidestepped past her and flicked on half of the light switches, sconce lighting on the brickwork brightened the enormous room but couldn’t eliminate all the shadows.

Summary

Nesta has an important meeting across town, that is no-one business but her own. Dressed to the nines, she is wearing heels that could kill a man the stiletto is so on point. She bumps into Cassian and he ruins her day!

That Shoe Fic

Nesta Deep red glided across her lips, adding the finishing touch. The reflection staring back at her, glam but professional. Simple makeup that enhanced her strong cheekbones, and mascara and eyeliner to make her eyes pop. The rules she learned as a child from watching her mother always sitting in the back of her mind. Perfect for her meeting. She ran her hands through her long sleek hair one last time and exited the bathroom. Her two bedroom apartment was small but satisfactory, she had done pretty well for herself since starting this new job and had even started splashing out on a few things. A piece or art on the wall, a new end table and a full length mirror in a large white frame for the back of the door to her apartment. The two bedroom flat was becoming more than just the place where she ate and slept. Her flatmate was just down the hall and helped keep the rent down - or reasonable at least. She was making this city, this place, a permanent home. Nesta grabbed her keys off the end table and donned her wine coloured coat. There was only one thing left to make her outfit complete. Her latest acquisition. A Pair of Black patent Jimmy Choo shoes that were pure heaven. A perfect balance of comfortable and beautiful and everything she had ever wanted. A goal she never thought to achieve considering the last 5 years. It was two blocks to her meeting, not too far, she could put her flats in her bag for heading back to the office later. Back up plans were a must for a woman who loved to keep her shoes in perfect condition. So she slipped her feet into the heels and admired her look from head to toe in the full length mirror. Killer pointed stilettos, a black pencil skirt poking out underneath her oversized coat. War paint on, framed by her long dark hair and red lips. Perfect. She admired herself for another moment, a smile growing at the corner of her mouth and then her cell phone began to ring. “Hello?” she answered, the voice on the other end of the line frantic and relaying details. Her meeting had been moved forward 20 minutes, apparently traffic was actually moving today. “Thanks, I’ll be there as soon as I can, I should still arrive before he gets there, if not - keep him happy - please!” Nesta hung up the phone and grabbed her bag, time had all of a sudden sped up on her. She left the apartment and locked the deadbolts, all four of them, just to be safe, and descended the stairs to the street below. The day was a gloomy grey, clouds overhead looking down in between the skyscrapers. The streets were full of people walking to work.
